    This is not an issue I wade into often, but criminalizing abortion even in the event of incest and rape is disgustinghttps://apnews.com/fbae135281e64818946f72cfdb199dcb …

        The state forcing a woman who has been raped to carry the child is unconscionable. Before, the rape was a tragedy, and the subsequent abortion was an additional tragedy. Now, the tragedy would just be compounded in a different and more invasive way by dint of coercive state power

        I don't often "wade into" this issue because I think it's morally fraught and complex. I'm also a non-theist and don't subscribe to the predominant Christian/Islamic view on abortion. However, using criminal law to force a rape victim to give birth is straightforwardly immoral

        I see people claiming that there is in fact an exception for rape and incest. Either every single media report is wrong, or you're wrong. AP: "Senators rejected an attempt to add an exception for rape and incest. The amendment was voted down 21-11"

        The bill is also not somehow "temporary" because it's clearly intended to force a Supreme Court case. The only way it can be challenged up to the Supreme Court is if the bill is enacted.

        The whole purpose of this is to challenge RvW by proving that a fetus/embryo is a human being with all the rights afforded to him/her similar to the Dred Scott decision. If the bill had passed with any exceptions then the “human” argument would’ve been weakened

        More disgusting when you consider that the driving force on these crazy social divides is merely to turn out the respective base voters, that the money that runs our politics doesn't care about these issues at all.

        And ose very voters are going to vote the way they are going to vote in any case. Love or hate, charity or thievery, there are only two kinds of people, broadly speaking. Givers and takers. Andy Griffith was the first I ever heard say, "The more you share, the more you have.

        All the pro-life laws passed do have an exception if the mother's life is in any way at risk.

        Why is Alabama even a place? It should have been shut down by the ICC. The whole state is one big package of human rights violations on the same level with Saudi-Arabia. If you want to bomb a place for humanitarian reasons, bomb Alabama.

        But it makes sense if one believes that abortion is murder.

        If it's ethically wrong to abort a baby, it's wrong to abort any baby. That must be the starting question. The rape is an emotional case only. The baby can be put up for adoption and never be told. A baby resulting from incest is the genuine hard case as it is a medical issue.

        the questions are: 1. when does a fertilized egg becomes a sentient human that can feel pain. 2. when it is necessary and/or reasonable for a doctor (with consent) to terminate a pregnancy that is a. dangerous to the mother, b. non-viable or, c. severely malformed/terminal.

        Explain the incest exception. If the pregnancy is from the molestation of an uncle, that would be covered by a rape exception. If it's from consensual incestual activity, given that abnormalities do not occur with incest in the first generation, what justifies the exception?
