      This is basically "America should be pre-2019 Ireland," and that, to me, is a religious proposition.

      I would argue that "America should not be pre-2019 Ireland" is no more or less a religious proposition. But my question remains unanswered: can we have laws about killing humans & not define in law who the humans are that the law applies to?

      I think it's unanswerable and that we will have two choices: draw an arbitrary line (the status quo since Roe) or say: No abortions, ever. I think the latter does more harm than good.

      I enjoy conservatives arguing about when the Government should decree that the Soul enters the fetus. You'd think that would be a matter of wide disagreement and Private.

      Might be a good time to state that abortion rates are reportedly the same whether it’s legal or illegal and the only thing that decreases it are access to contraceptives and family centered policies. https://www.guttmacher.org/report/abortion-worldwide-2017 …

      Unfortunately, I don't think any of this is about babies or women or rights at this point. And won't be for some years to come. It's about power.

      Right. A conspiracy theory. Where does Putin figure in? Has he been faking the writings of the Patristics and Scholastics and inserting them into our history books.

      What a stupid comment, Michael. I think it's about people passing laws they know will become controversial in order to land the court fight on TV in 2020 and pump turnout for the elections. I think it's evil and cynical. Not a conspiracy. Just shitty politics from bad people.

      The pro-life movement wasn't invented when you gave up on the GOP, Tom.

      The Occam's Razor answer to "why now?" is that (1) there weren't pro-life majorities in the state legislatures & Gov mansions until very recently & (2) there is only since 2018 what looks like a possible anti-Roe majority on SCOTUS.

          And so the way to approach this existentially important question is to pass laws that you know can't be enforced to see if you can troll SCOTUS into ruling on the. It's not just "now," there's a cynicism to this that is breathtaking and recent, imo.

          Too many thought the issue was rested. Even though a majority don't want Roe v. Wade overturned they unintentionally/ intentionally voted in legislatures that still wanted to roll back protections of the law.

          Did I miss the part of this discussion that answered the question : Was Roe v Wade properly decided?

          I'd say advancements in science have made it harder for some people to continue to say a fetus is not a unique human life as well.

          It also could be in response to the radical laws recently enacted in VA and NY.
