We Are Not Prepared for the Coming Surge of Babies - The post-Roe rise in births in the U.S. will be concentrated in some of the worst states for infant and maternal health. Plans to improve these outcomes are staggeringly thin.

I just hope you know in America the argument is it life is it a human was never needed during Roe. It’s a myth to think defining it as life makes or breaks the allowance.

Call it murder. I’ll say it with you. It’s killing a potential human ( potential as so many things can go wrong naturally until birth )

However the constitution says us citizens (14th amendment) and the 14 defines anyone as a citizen via being born here.

So the constitution doesn’t apply to a clump of cells.

And in Roe, the Supreme Court stated “morality and life are not what needs defining. This is a privacy matter, you need to argue how it is or isn’t”.

Even the removal of Roe doesn’t change the definition. The highly conservative shoe horned in Supreme Court could have made it a life issue. Could have made life , human, baby, murder, the means of removal.

All they did and they stated as such was it was a decision left up to the states.

Even in Roe’s removal, the precedent was not set to define life.

Which means Roe still stands as a court case precedent anyone can cite for in their states courts.

Now while the decision for abortion is back to the states,

I just wanna firmly let everyone here know, if they think this gotcha of “it’s murder” “it’s a human being” remotely applies as a need for the right to abortion to be banned or allowed,

I’m firmly here saying some asshole started that myth years ago but it’s never once been true.

Sure. Kill some babies. But you wouldn’t know it happened because again, privacy issue.

But hey, if the means of striking down privacy rulings is ok, when they come for your ability to watch porn ( something a LOT of the pro life incels do ) and the ability to exercise many thought to be rights of privacy, don’t whine about it. You can’t have one or the other. It’s either a states issue to handle which would mean jerking off could be left up to the states.

In NY the evil liberals would allow anyone to cum if they wanted ( the devils hobby )

And In the south, they’ll force ISPs to block Pornhub ( and that’s when NordVPN says to itself “my time has cum”)
