      Oh my gosh! WOW. That's like the drug addicts that are harmed by self-treating when the medical system fails to give in and give them drugs illegally. What a shame. We should let them get addicted to legal drugs so the hospitals make money. Human lives are not worth anything unless you're irresponsibly having fun and destroying lives while the money keeps floating up! AMIRITE!? hahaha Why bother with sex education and expecting adults to be responsible for their bodies and to consider the impact of their actions? I think based on that "logic" we should also not penalize drunk drivers etc. If they kill someone/ a pet; that person/pet should have not been such a nuisance and inconvenience. That poor drunk driver that is a victim of the person they run over. OMG IT's horrendous. What will society come to if we don't protect people that just wanna have fun???

Everyone was lied to. Everyone was brainwashed from birth with the despicable lie that "Marijuana will destroy America." Now, the film has been public for over 30 years and there's an official US government link to the video, but no one notices because a lifetime of drug war propaganda has made them incapable of thinking.

Or imagine the unthinkable - you're soon to be a new parent only to be told by the doctors that your partner's pregnancy has become unviable, and when carried to term, your unborn child will likely die during childbirth, but worse yet, your partner could also die from severe complications. All because you live in a state that has written legislation that made no exceptions for miscarriages or the health of the mother. You could lose a wanted child along with your spouse all because a legislator thinks life begins at conception.

      Actually in ancient Rome men would force women to kill their children in infanticide by leaving them out in the sun so they die of exposure. Other methods, such as abortion by starving oneself, in order to produce stillbirths, were also used. Usually this was because the man wanted only male sons. Christianity altered this by affording woman and their children human dignity. For this reason, many woman converted to Christianity(St Helen, St Monica) and slowly converted the state of the Roman Empire. Human dignity went from being a man's choice, to a protected good, and then to being a woman's choice in our modern times.

      Sidenote edit: I do find it funny that someone is claiming that Christianity gave women human dignity. Christianity which says women are less than men. Christianity which says that a woman who is raped gets to 'punish' the rapist by requiring them to pay the woman's father a dowry and then the rapist is 'forced' to marry the raped woman. Yeah....

      Plutarch in Lives: Lycurgus 16 writes that in State-controlled Sparta:
      “Nor was it in the power of the father to dispose of the child as he saw fit (as was his right in most societies). He was obliged to carry (the newborn) child before certain men at a place called Lesche; these men were some of the elders of the tribe to which the child belonged; their business was to carefully view the infant, and, if they found it stout and well made, they gave order for its rearing and allotted to it one of the nine thousand shares of land above mentioned for its maintenance, but, if they found it puny and ill-shaped, ordered it to be taken to what was called the Apothetae (“depository”), a (large cave) under Mt. Taygetus (in the Peloponnese); as thinking it neither for the good of the child itself, nor for the public interest, that it should be brought up, if it did not, from the very outset, appear to be healthy and vigorous.”

    • @supercoolbrian
      @supercoolbrian Před rokem

      By virtue of mentioning that old elders made the decision, its pretty clear women didn't have a choice in Roman Sparta. By expressing surprise that the father couldn't make the choice, its pretty clear that it was the norm in Roman law for the father to make the choice. All this is written of course by men. I'd be more surprised if you had proof that abortion was afforded specifically to a woman. In ancient Greece, Aristotle spoke about it as a matter compulsory law.
      “As to exposing or rearing the children born, let there be a law that no deformed child shall be reared; but on the ground of number of children, if the regular customs hinder any of those born being exposed, there must be a limit fixed to the procreation of offspring, and if any people have a child as a result of intercourse in contravention of these regulations, abortion must be practiced on it (the child).”

They were told that their son would suffer severe physical defects and more than likely wouldn't have lived through the birthing process. If he did survive his life would have been nothing but pain and nothing could be done to fix him. I'm not pro life (more like pro choice) but I would NEVER put my own standards on a life or situation that isn't my own. To think that a group of old men can tell a woman what do with her own body is beyond vile and this move screams of trying to control us. Those same men want to point their fingers at women who "didn't need to have sex" but where are the men because we don't get pregnant by ourselves. Where are the laws for the women who are left to deal with the fallout and have limited to no resources to make sure that that the child they were forced to bring to term has a good start in life?

They had to take me out a side exit because I wouldn’t calm down. I’m in my late 60’s now- I will never ever forget it - his right over mine.

I am a man, but it disturbs me how any government can meddle with this personal desicion.

      The problem with that is that the father never had rights before in abortions either - even when they want to prevent it for want to raise the child themselves they have zero power to prevent it.
      You can't have it both ways - so if you want the father to have that responsibility, you have to afford him equal rights when abortion rights are returned.

There are a decent number that are brought about fully mutually. And there are a decent number that are done by the woman against the man's desire to keep the child.

    That is, if you're not a woman. If you are a woman and have a fetus in your womb, then suddenly some people think you no longer get to decide over your own organ. According to these people the state should get to make decisions over your womb, even though it's part of your body.

    Going after birth control next is terrifying. Not least because, quite aside from the entire dismantling of a woman’s right to her own body and sexual choices, medical practice uses the pill for a whole range of gynaecological conditions, including endometriosis, hormone imbalances and menorrhagia. Mostly because no one has bothered trying to come up with something else. If you have endo and want kids, you either suffer with the pain and haemorrhaging while you try to get pregnant, or you go on the pill and don’t have kids, those are your choices. I live in Ireland, and I never thought women here would have more rights than they do in the US. We fought tooth and nail to repeal the 8th and things still are not 100% there, but I feel so much safer here than I would in the US. My heart is broken for you.

      It's often overlooked that birth contraceptives can have other uses. I couldn't take the pill, because it made my premenstrual migraines worse, but I did take the mini pill for a short time because I could tolerate it. There are so many options now available but to think that women in the US might have all of that taken away so easily.... Just being able to regulate your cycle helps women get on with their lifes and jobs, but I guess these zealots want them all barefoot and pregnant, chained to the kitchen sink for their entire fertile lives.

      I don't think they'd get enough support to get rid of *most* forms of birth control, on a national level. However some states have already tried banning IUD's and morning after pills citing the life begins at conception and one of the ways they can function is to prevent implantation. Which while hard to fully study, research figures conservatively 10-40% of fertilized eggs don't implant. Beyond that 10-50% or more will miscarry. I wonder if they'll tell older women they shouldn't get pregnant, as the likelihood of miscarriage increases with age.

      God, this whole thing is fucked up. First abortion, and then the mere idea of birth control? What are they even thinking? What right do they have to control something so personal? So now, not only can they decide that if an accidental pregnancy happens nothing can be done, but now they don't want people to be able to be safe if they DO have sex with their lover? This nation is fucked.

      Let's back up a second. The SC ruling was a limit on the legislator (or Democracy). It was a flawed way to enable rights for abortion, it wasn't democratic. No other country that has abortion allowed needed a SC ruling.
      I would urge everyone solve this by electing pro choice members. Make it law, you only think you can't solve it democratically is because people are lying to you. They want you to feel dis-empowered.
