It doesn't matter when life begins. It matters when humanity begins. I think the vast majority of people have no problem with killing things in general (like fish and carrots) but take offense to killing humans. I have done a fair amount of research to address this since I prefer to make informed decisions. In terms of typical abortion vernacular, the lumps of cells that have potential to eventually turn into a human actually begin to have a consciousness early in the third trimester. As such, as far as I am concerned, a fetus is a human starting in trimester number three. This is based on scientific studies, not some emotional feeling about what I think looks like a baby. If a woman wants an abortion in the first two trimesters she should be able to do whatever she wants with her own body. Once there is an actual cluster of cells that can reasonably classified as a human and not simply overgrown sperm that is when the right to an abortion should no longer be as casual as a whim, if someone so wants. From third trimester and on, a woman should only be able to have an abortion if the pregnancy is threatening her life OR if the fetus is not viable. There is no reason for a woman with family and friends to die so that a motherless infant with no connections to the world can come to be. To say that someone who has a place in this world and is loved has a lower priority than an unborn, unconnected, probably unloved except by the mother is ludicrous. Likewise, if a medical professional establishes that a fetus can not survive, it is stupid to subject a woman to the pain and prolonged heartache of a failed pregnancy.
TL;DR version: Abortions for all in the first two trimesters. Abortions only if the mother's life is threatened or the fetus is unviable in the third trimester.

SCOTUS (Scrotum is a more apt term) needs to be obliterated. Of all the 3 branches of government, SCROTUM is the one that is most out of control and needs some mother fucking checks and balances shoved down their throats. 9 people shouldn't be deciding the moral pathway of an entire nation.

Hi there. I see you're unfamiliar with the petty, venal, shitstains that make up the United States congress.

Congress can't really fuck too much shit up until the President vetoes their legislation, whereas the Supremes have established that it's almost unheard of for their decisions to be overruled by acts of Congress (ie Constitutional amendments). Imo, obk is right that SCOTUS needs further checks. Say an age limit of 75.

Ehhh, I'd say SCOTUS was the purest of the three institutions before it became a highly politicized body like it is now.
I don't like abortion. But what I like and don't like is of little consequence to other people.
I am amused people who want the rights of women would throw blankets over what they find offensive. Freedom is a 2 way street.
I am amused Planned Parenthood no longer wants to call it pro-choice.
I wonder what is worse ... allowing an ill equipped woman to abort or having to deal with the issue of neglect and heartbreak those children would have to endure.
Freakanomics talks about the correlation between abortion and the drop in crime.
I happily married with two wonderful sons ... we made the right choice. I am sure those who chose to abort made the right choice for themselves.
what the fuck does this have to do with the Affordable Care Act? get back on topic tops.
Does the Affordable Health Care Act pay for my concubines abortion?

If so I am in.
It pays for EVERYTHING.
Look at it this way. If the Affordable Care Act had been in place when death2duck's whoring mother conceived him, she'd have had enough money to have him scraped off her ute and the world would be a slightly less shitty place.

I literally laughed out loud here in my pretend lawyer office.
and after you've had your last, life is effectively over.
Mods? Can this go onto the Football Bored now?
Shit - I should get a job with the NSA. I wonder how many Talents they'd pay for my intel?
TL;DR version:
Abortions for all in the first two trimesters.
Abortions only if the mother's life is threatened or the fetus is unviable in the third trimester.
