Supreme Court strikes down Roe v. Wade?

Quote: AZDuffman

Because that is what it is. I am not old enough to remember, but I doubt pre-Roe anyone outside medical field said "fetus."

The word dates back to the 1300s. The usage increased rapidly in writing from 1960 to 1986 more than tripling in frequency and then it began dropping in popularity (by one third to 2018).

The words "born" and "unborn" go back to Old English. The word "unborn" peaked in frequency in 1807 and gradually fell in frequency until 1960 after which is made a rapid rise until the early 1970s, and a slow rise until the present.

Calling it a "fetus" allows those in favor of abortion to divorce themselves from the fact that it IS a baby/child. Calling it a "fetus" is making a morality car wash of sorts for them.

Calling people pro-life is an attempt to hide the fact you're forcing women to carry that fetus to term whether she wants to or not. When you start donating your blood, oxygen nutrients, time from your body to doing that yourself, maybe then you than you can decide as much for yourself.

I am not letting myself get pregnant. Well, I am a guy, but a woman who does not want to carry should not let herself get pregnant.

Children (teen girls) sometimes are afraid to tell their parents they are even having sex. Some are even more clueless and don't even know they are pregnant. Even with non-pregnant women menstrual periods are sometimes irregular. They can easily get beyond these early deadlines Republican legislators are even allowing like 6 12, or 15 weeks even when abortion is allowed.

Sorry about that human decency they favor. Maybe use birth control?

Unwanted children, the likely product of this republican beat down, will likely grow up to be fairly poor and not too succeessful, i.e. democrats.

Tell woman to not get raped or allow incest while you're at it.

There are abortion exceptions for that.

Funny thing is, sixty percent of Americans favor abortion.

This will be ... interesting...

You're not keeping up with the "trigger" laws Republicans already have on the books when the SC overturns RvW.

Btw, Catholics and many other christians push abstinence, not birth control. Yet every single one of them keep telling how we're all subject to sinning. So I assume they aren't going to do much but make 13 year old girls feel guilty for sinning and deliver babies. Hopefully we make Conservatives like you cover all the expense if the mom doesn't.
