How many times have #prolife heard "no one is pro-abortion"? I wonder if the people in this thread will change their tune now that PP endorses the term?
There are so many ridiculous claims about what will happen if #RoeVsWade is overturned #RoeOverturned#RoeVWadeLeak. Treatment for miscarriage and ectopic pregnancies will not be criminalized or investigated. Those are not the same as abortion.π§΅
None of the states have laws on the books that would prosecute a woman who has an abortion and the few times some radical has proposed such a law, it's been easily voted down.
No states have a law making abortion illegal if it is necessary to save a woman's life and it is extremely unlikely any ever will, given public opinion overwhelmingly supports that exception.
Congress formed a select panel to investigate a number of claims related to Planned Parenthoodβs activities involving abortion and fetal tissue procurement.
"The Panel did not design its investigation to prove or disprove the credibility of tapes released by the Center for Medical Progress (CMP); however, the Panel viewed the videos as a series of serious claims made by a citizen advocacy group."
It amazes me that there are actually people who refuse to believe that many abortion providers break the law, despite testimony like this or Live Action's investigations or the full Center for Medical Progress videos.
#HumanRights "housing, water, food and healthcare, are commodities or services depending on your definition.... Declaring a commodity a right is as foreign to the Western notion of inalienable rights as a Polar Bear is to the Amazon Rainforest. thesuffolkjournal.com/26877/opinion/β¦ 1/4
"The Bill of Rights guarantees rights that are immune to any interference from government, these rights are otherwise known as 'negative rights.' For instance, the government can never infringe on your right to free speech" 2/4
"However, guaranteeing commodities as rights require something from government, which in this country is the people of the United States. These rights presume that by a personβs very existence, they are entitled to goods and services that someone else must provide." 3/4
A lack of information is just as effective as a lack of education and this is illustrated in books such as The Handmaid's Tale and 1984. Currently, it is becoming more difficult to make informed decisions because of censorship in the press and on social media.
When information is censored, people are in effect told what to think and the tools to make their own decisions are kept out of reach. Ironically, this tends to give rise to conspiracy theories and distrust of those doing the censoring. theintercept.com/2020/10/15/facβ¦
Certainly, children should not have access to information they are not mature enough to handle, but adults should be able to find factual information that doesn't omit other viewpoints or information that doesn't fit the popular narrative.
