"I'm against abortion but for a woman's right to choose."
Isn't that like saying, "I'm against child rape, but if someone else wants to do it, I'm good with that."
Sounds harsh, but that's what I'm hearing.

It's a well thought out post. But since emergency contraception is now widely available I think all mid and late term abortions should be made illegal unless the mother's life is in jeopardy. And every attempt should be made to try to save the fetus so it can become a baby. It's only ethical.
Most reasonably moral people believe late term abortions should not be a form of birth control.
Campus vending machines offer emergency contraception
Emergency contraception readily available like bubble gum should dramatically reduce the number of abortions!

Um... this is awkward, but is there a non-click bait TL-DR version of the story with just a few digestible bullet points on what I need to be annoyed about? I'm admittedly ignorant on this particular bill and what precisely it entailed, but attempts to read the story or subsequent thoughts on the story made me stupider (already a low bar). Explain it to me like I'm 12.

They're getting there.
I think this post-birth abortion issue is to see how far and how long they'll be able to kill a baby.

Just playing devil's advocate here, but the effect on the mother's health could result from the financial burden of the life saving treatment given to the infant. At that time the "mother" is financially responsible for her medical care and any "side effects" that result from it, including the live birth of the "aborted" fetus. This could be construed to affect the mental health of the "mother".

I'm all for a woman getting an abortion if that's the decision, but I'm also fine with passing this bill.
Now an honest question, because I see this all the time from conservatives:
Let's say I'm 25 weeks pregnant and I decide to have an abortion. The procedure begins, but the baby survives, and is put into NICU and all of that. Who's footing the hospital bills for this child that I didn't want?
I ask because while many conservatives are hardcore anti-abortion, they also are hardcore in not wanting to spend one penny on someone else's child. Assuming I still don't want the child, are those hospital bills on me? Are you okay with your tax dollars covering it? I mean, I am fine with my taxes being used for whatever the eff, I don't care, but are you? Are you okay with your taxes going to raise the child, should he/she ultimately survive? I ask because most of the talk I read and hear indicates you are not. And by "you" I'm not asking any specific person on this thread.

A vote for ANY of these Democrats is a vote for killing newborns.
