    Jumping in to note, It’s not hunting if you are using a gun. Extreme target shooting maybe.

    Some get it, some don’t. In some states, your bro in law is baiting if the corn isn’t harvested. I think it’s smart. Throw in some 30+% protein enriched soy beans!! If I could grow persimmons, apples, and deer crack at my hunt camp, I would. Feed the masses I say. I only take one or two a season.
    Anyway, back to the regular scheduled disparaging program.

    If you don't like abortions or believe it's wrong, don't have one and encourage your family not to. Don't think, however, you have a right to impose your twisted views on others.

    Time to donate to the people gathering signatures for the petition.

    If you are not allowing a woman to make the choice anytime during pregnancy, then it is no longer prochoice!! If you want to say it is a woman's body, her choice but do not allow her the freedoms to make that choice, then it is no longer prochoice. It is now proabortion. Not a hard concept to grasp.

    Adding that most of us do not consider a fetus under gestational age of 12 weeks and incapable of life outside the womb and independent of the mother a baby, whether by statute or practice most European countries defer to medical professionals regarding the determination of medical necessity beyond the 12th week. Under a number of state laws in the US if a woman develops a medical condition necessitating the termination of a pregnancy pursuant to the judgment of a doctor that doctor could be could be in danger of criminal prosecution at the hand of an overly zealous prosecutor.

    Posted this several times before, thanks to the so called prolifers sooner or later a woman in one of the prolife states is going to end up like these women.
    Death of a dentist in Ireland denied an abortion has worried doctors who say history may repeat in U.S.
    Polish state has ‘blood on its hands’ after death of woman refused an abortion

    This is not Ireland, and if the doctor is doing his job correctly then there is NO need to worry about a conviction.

    We weren't Ireland before the Dobbs decision. Thanks to that decision a number of states are becoming a lot like Ireland at the time of Savita Halappanavar's death and at least one woman in the US came very close to sharing her fate.
    Texas woman denied an abortion tells senators she ‘nearly died on their watch’

    By the way this was the political result of Dr. Halappanavar's death.
    Ireland votes by landslide to legalise abortion

    Twisted is supporting the legal killing of the most innocent for convenience. It is sad and evil that you would support that.

    You were making a great argument for being pro-choice right up until the last two sentences.

    Sad. But there is no doubt some support killing for convenience.

    Good for you, and I’m sure they’ll exceed the number of required signatures in no time.

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a movement jump the shark as quickly as this forced-birthers movement has.

    The laws are so vague that doctors are not taking any chances. They are denying women the procedure wasting time and money for that woman to be able make her own health decision. Poor women don't have the luxury. I think they made it vague on purpose.

    There is a quick and dirty test to determine whether the object in the womb is a baby. And the test is effective at any stage of pregnancy …

    Ask a pregnant woman if she’d consider having an abortion.

    As a point of information the only people who have abortions are pregnant women.

    And there is another test as well. Note how frequently women who’ve had their offspring killed ask “Was it a boy or a girl ?” afterwards.
