"Donald Trump is playing down the prospect of nationwide abortion restrictions, falsely saying Republicans have long sought to leave abortion law to the states. …
Trump's latest claim is belied by a long history of his party’s fighting to restrict abortion nationally."
@wdlindsy Abortion should be up to the individual imo.
This generalizing 'all or nothing', is killing/harming people, both moms and unborn babies, death on both sides of 'all or nothing'.
Pregnancy can be deadly without medical care for those who need that medical care!
Not everyone needs the same medical care, because we each have our own bodies, each one of us are all different, each and everyone has different needs.
Generalizing 'all or nothing' is how some people get killed by neglect.
@GreenRoc In a social context, nothing can ever be left up to the individual, especially when the topic is decisions that involve concerns about life or death. There has to be some rough social consensus that is then formulated in laws to guide such decisions. The abortion bans flatten and obliterate such social consensus and laws based on it, and give women caught in anguishing and sometimes deadly situations due to pregnancy no options at all.
@wdlindsy I totally agree with you. Like, when requiring more than one human to launch atomic bombs. Maybe my words needed to say "for the individual" A decision agreed upon by those in close vicinity to the individual, and the individual also has to be in agreement with the close group.
Their individual needs should not chosen by some politicians who never met the person.
