    Weird. I keep hearing the deranged nuts saying it’s murder. Are they OK with 2 years for murder? Why are they so easy on criminals?

    Our do they subconsciously know it’s not actually murder?

        There’s a part of the Bible that talks about swelling the belly that can be considered vague enough to ignore. Although I think it’s pretty obvious what it’s talking about.

        But the Bible is 100% crystal clear about fetuses being property and absolutely not a living human. In fact, I think it’s a bit extreme in that it says if you cause a miscarriage you just have to pay a fine.

          Depends on the version. Some versions of Numbers 5:11-31 mention the bitter drink causing a miscarriage if the wife is unfaithful.

      I’m pro abortion but 20 weeks seems like it’s pushing that line for acceptable.

      Article:

      According to prosecutors, after the pair bought pills to end the pregnancy, Celeste Burgess gave birth to a stillborn fetus. At the time, Nebraska law banned abortion after 20 weeks of pregnancy. Celeste Burgess’s pregnancy was well past that point, according to court records.

      Police say that the Burgesses buried the fetal remains. An examination of the remains suggested they may have also been burned, according to court documents.

        Did you also miss the part about her being a teenager? Mental health issues? Only $400 to her name? You would sentence her and the fetus to an extremely difficult life. If you advocate adoption, you probably don’t understand the physical toll of carrying a fetus to term. So you’d be sentencing a teenager to undergo that still.

        Pro abortion is a terrible way to frame that position. No one is advocating for more abortions. We are advocating for that option to be legally available alongside a multitude of support and educational routes to help people be fully informed as well as have access to proper birth control and medical care.

        20 weeks is not pushing anything especially in states where it is extremely difficult to get an abortion. Some states require multiple doctor visits which can mean multiple days off work. That is not an easy task for many who are living paycheck to paycheck.

        Also, who the fuck calls themselves pro-abortion?

        That said, I read that she was about 28 weeks along. At that point it is considered a stillborn and needs to be properly disposed of. Burning the body and burying it in a friend’s yard does not fall under proper disposal.
