Under questioning by Republican Delegate Todd Gilbert, Tran revealed that her bill would not limit abortion even after the point of viability, where the child could survive on his or her own. In fact, she said her bill would potentially allow a woman to seek an abortion as she was in the process of giving birth. Here’s a portion of the exchange which you can watch below:
t the adoption of the Declaration of Independence 236 years ago on July 4, 1776, abortion was banned in all of the 13 American colonies.
The colonies inherited English Common Law and largely operated under it until well into the 19th century. English Common Law forbade abortion. Abortion prior to quickening was a misdemeanor. Abortion after quickening (feeling life) was a felony. This bifid punishment, inherited from earlier ecclesiastic law, stemmed from earlier “knowledge” regarding human reproduction.
In the early 1800s it was discovered that human life did not begin when she “felt life,” but rather at fertilization. As a direct result of this, the British Parliament in 1869 passed the “Offenses Against the Persons Act,” eliminating the above punishment and dropping the felony punishment back to fertilization. One by one, across the middle years of the 19th century, every then-present state passed its own law against abortion. By 1860, 85% of the population lived in states which had prohibited abortion with new laws. These laws, preceding and following the British example, moved the felony punishment from quickening back to conception.

Planned Parenthood is trying to kill two birds with one stone. This evil company wants to "help society", while also harvesting baby-parts, by encouraging BLACK women to ABORT rather than give birth.

okay, a women is in her 20th, her husband and her have spent a large sum of money over the years at various fertility clinic and finally, they concieved!! they are overjoyed! but then well someone breaks into their house, and because of something that was done, she ends up miscarrying.. why isn't this couple's loss thought to be less than the couple that you have imagined?
Please clarify......
Are you saying the loss should NOT be criminalized during any timeline or it should be criminalized for the whole period?
Or are you saying the prosecutor should be given some leeway given the traumatic damage done?
Imagine a rape victim that was 50/50 on having an abortion but then decides against it, but an accident causes her to lose the baby, she decides she doesn't want to press charges, and the state declines as well.
As think the mother should have the final say if the procedural charges move forward that protect her from stupid charges on accidents and also in cases like we described where she is devastated and she could move forward with a murder charge.
I don't know how feminists could ever be against case law where the female has the absolute final say in this matter, they would be against their own self interests. And it would make people against that, and are pro-choice the biggest hypocrites in the world.
But then again do we offer no protection to the baby that is 8 months, and the mother decides to get drunk and go on drugs, causing the baby to die or become permanently damaged ? Maybe not a murder charge but what about involuntary manslaughter that carries a lesser charge ?

Oh yeah that’s what all cops strive for and wake up everyday praying they get the chance to kill. Come on man this is even beyond your usual levels of absurdity. I hope your being facetious or trolling.

it's the same story I've told over and over on threads regarding abortions on ATS, if you look back on this thread, you see I mention it. the only difference is that I was more concerned with falling with my baby than I was with losing the child I was carrying... something that probably would have been considered a "you should have known better moment also"!!

The deaths of at least 26 psychiatric patients, from hunger and cold, at Havana’s Mazorra psychiatric hospital, the death of the hunger striker Orlando Zapata Tamayo, the ongoing hunger strikes by Guillermo “Coco” Farinas and others, the attacks on The Ladies in White as they commemorate the 7th anniversary of the “Black Spring” jailing of 75 independent journalists and writers, continue to resonate across Cuba. Today’s guest post is from the blogger Claudia Cadelo‘s, and reports on the ongoing impact of these events.
