ATRL Moderation Team Posted May 4, 2022 Posted May 4, 2022 This is the second thread to discuss the overthrowing of Roe v. Wade. The last thread was closed due to out of control behavior. To clarify a few things, 1. We believe a woman has the right to choose what to do with her body. If your opinion differs and suggests the government should be in control of those decisions, be warned of blowback from most members. This is not necessarily an argument about your own personal opinion about abortion. 2. Regardless of what side of this issue, responding with death threats is not acceptable. You are welcome to debate, but do not cross the line or else you will receive harsh warnings and/or other penalties.

Vermillion Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 Death threats aren't appropriate but there were some great convos in the last thread. Oh well. Meanwhile....
Lost In Paradise Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 lol took 3 posts for someone to shift the convo to gay rights. never change ATRL!

Literally that is the conversation when 50 year precedent is overturned. legal experts across the political spectrum are saying that . Everything’s on the table. Not sure where you’re getting at here.

DAP Posted May 5, 2022 Posted May 5, 2022 A bit too little too late for that isn’t it. Anything to placate critics trying to hold them accountable I guess

They have control of the Senate, but what good is that control, really? They're showing themselves incapable of doing anything with it.

There are many procedures which are gruesome, that doesn't mean that they are not viable or necessary to be performed.

How can something have rights if it itself cannot survive on its own once removed from its host? Viability isn't even a concept derived re: sentience from those who support women's autonomy. The vast majority of births before the 24-week mark (aka the end of the 2nd trimester as seen in your video) end in death due to unviable health issues because the fetus often simply has not developed to the point of being biologically self-sustaining, let alone sentient and actually a person. If something cannot biologically survive on its own without being tethered physically to another physical being, the autonomy is then that of the pregnant person's, not that of the fetus who cannot survive and develop on its own.
