10-year-old girl denied abortion in Ohio

[carolina73]

You don't make laws based on rare extreme cases and Montana got it right in the first place, the child is not being denied an abortion.

Again. That will sound like "playing the baby shark song" to moderates.

That is not how it is going to play politically. And this makes the OH law cruel and moderates will not forget who put it in place. I'm sure there are a few here that do not believe in rape and incest exemptions but I have not heard them. I do not believe many of them exist in society.

My anger is at the GOP and some of its state legislatures. Just like the election, they do nothing and then get caught by surprise that the National GOP and they were not intelligent enough to see the problems coming with letting other's do their job for them. The PA and GA state legislatures knew the rules were being changed and instead of protecting their ground, they went off to play golf or something.

Here the states are without exemptions or reasonable language ready, even knowing what was coming down. Where is the National GOP to make sure the states are ready.

You can repeat that in December when you are wondering what happened to the blue wave.

What are you talking about ? The only BLUE WAVE We will see in December is when we return to the GULF for a couple months.States will have the right wether to have abortions or not .There will be some sick democrat states that the SCOTUS ruling will change nothing.

I think this is a case that illustrates the need for exception. A 10-year-old cannot make responsible choices.

But wait--by admitting there is a need for exceptions, aren't you undermining your scientific basis that life begins at conception?

If your position is true, how can the life of a 10-year-old's unborn be suitable to kill while the life of an 18-year-old's unborn should be protected?

I don't get that.

The problem as I see it is that we have too much influence (on both sides) from extremists.

Where are our more reasonable, moderate representatives? It's either the far-left or the far-right creating chaos. Do normal folks just not want to be involved?

Most of our nation wants to preserve the right to abortion -- but in LIMITED cases -- yet, we have the far left trying to make it legal until birth and the far right trying to ban IUDs and some forms of birth control. Where are the sensible legislators?

It's like AOC versus MTG. That's it.

We've turned into a nation of extremists.

I dunno.

He makes a good point.

Unless we get a national law protecting abortion before the midterms, we could see what was looking like a sure thing for the GOP to take a downturn.

Women are fully half of the population. That's a big voting bloc.

That's true, but, a lot of those women are firmly against abortion.

Just because they happen to be female, doesn't mean they're all feminazis and, believe a woman should be able to kill her baby.

Women are not a voting bloc.

Are they even concerned with, who impregnated this 10 year old girl?

As a parent, that just might be my number one concern, not whether or not she could get an abortion.

I'd want to make the scumbag pay......in every way possible.

I suspect the father.
