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.

Having been in that situation, I carried the baby to term and placed him with a loving family. They got the baby they'd always wanted and my beautiful baby boy grew up and became a good man. A violent trauma doesn't always have to be a tragedy.

I grew up in a Asian Buddhist culture. Buddhists consider abortion acceptable. I was raised Catholic & anti-A. Also was taught the history of separation of church & state in political thinking. Separation seemed safer so I accepted that my religious beliefs wouldn't prevail.

I thought they could do it up to 6 weeks? If that's true, then what's the problem?
