I am in favor of taking steps to reduce all abortions but I am not sure that the 20 week limit does anything more than shift a number of abortions from the legal column to the illegal column.
My question is how does limiting the availability of contraception reduce the demand for abortion services ? Wouldn’t providing greater access to contraception tend to reduce the number of abortions in this country ?

Don’t want to have a baby? Don’t get pregnant. Don’t want to get pregnant? Use reliable contraceptives or don’t screw around.
There. Problem solved.
See how easy that was?
And it didn’t cost billions of economy crushing dollars.
But, Liberals MUST complicate everything so they can solve the “problem” by piling on layers upon layers of new laws, regulations and rigidly controlling government bureaucracies. For lack of a 75 cent condom they put the tax payer on the hook for thousands of dollars and murder the unborn human being. And tear apart the country a bit more.
Communism at its finest.
This bogus bill is just a sop. It should read “No abortion. Period”. Human life begins at conception. There is nothing else that the egg/sperm combination can possibly become.
The human life cycle: conception, gestation, birth, growth, aging, death. Interrupt it by any means other than natural causes, accident or in defense of your own life anywhere between conception and natural death is pure murder. Liberals should be reminded often that yes, the fetus is a mass of tissue, but so are THEY.
If they can afford addicting street drugs, expensive computer systems, game boxes, tattoos, piercings, studs, junk food and the latest fashions – they can afford contraception!

I am all for a woman deciding when she wants to be pregnant as it is her body. We women are not just a baby producer machine.
While I understand the need for a time factor on termination of a pregnancy in case of problems or needs, I don’t want the right to terminate taken away by restriction. Okay 20 week’s limit sounds reasonable but those who oppose abortion in any form will use this as a steppingstone to completely block all abortion.
Give access and paid coverage to birth control to all women and women will have less need for abortion to control pregnancy. Why do men need coverage for Viagra medication, when women can’t have coverage for birth control? Putting it in plain language, if you want access to sex at anytime, both need to control end result of having children. The World is over populated already.

Abortion should be illegal at any staage of fetal development. The “right to choose” argument apparently does not apply to the fetus who cannot vote on the matter for 9 months. How can anyone, male or female, argue that a fetus can be killed due to “a right to choose”? How can you have a right to choose killing another human?
After all, if someone kills a pregnant woman and the fetus also dies, they are charged with double homicide. How can it be different in abortion?

First of all this is just MY belief: I have a picture of an unborn child reaching out of the womb when the dr. was operating on the mother and the mother was 5 months pregnant with that child. This is the year 2017 and unless someone is raped there is no OPPs! How did that happen! Information is all over the place and so is access for birth control and if people can afford cell phones, big screen tv’s, and shoes that cost hundreds of dollars they can afford birth control and tax payers should NOT have to pay for any of it and there is no excuse for waiting several months to kill this child who now would have a beating heart AND can feel pain. This country is so afraid of hurting a a bee in some far away country but a life in the past administration and before has become disposable. Too many families in our country would love to have a baby and are not able due to lack of money most of the time. I also feel the name of Planned Parenthood, should be changed because it does not signify the reality of the situation. The word PLANNED is incorrect to start with because most of the time when someone goes to this place they are not planning it has already happened. Being government is not the owner of these places obviously, someone is getting a huge kickback and the taxpayers are footing the bill. As far as the Senate is concerned, I don’t give them much respect with someone like Pelosi, in the picture even though I think she said once that she is a practicing Catholic.

I am completely against abortion unless the mother’s life is in jeopardy. I voted not sure since I don’t know the particulars of the bill. If saving the baby will kill the mother, then I believe the baby must be sacrificed since the baby is a predatory entity who could kill the mother. If someone tries to kill another person, then I believe a person can protect himself from the predatory person even though that person may be her baby. If both the mother and the baby can be saved, then abortion would be murder.

Looking at this from a VERY Christian point of view, life begins upon conception. Just as soon as the sperm enters and fertilizes the egg. Abortion, is murder. Period. Anyone that votes for any abortion, no matter the timetable involved, is condoning murder. I don’t care if the fetus is two minutes old, two days old, twenty days old, or twenty weeks old, murder is murder. So therefore, in conclusion, I DO NOT think this legislation goes far enough in criminalizing abortion.

No abortions should be performed. Yet, if abortions will be performed, it should be no later than 6 – 12 weeks from the onset of a pregnancy. No government funding for Planned Parenthood or any organization making abortion available or performing abortions. One exception would be in a hospital: do everything to save the child when a woman is already dying and would no longer be able to carry the baby. If saving the baby is not possible because it is too young (can not be kept alive with any medical device).

First, what is the purpose of sex? To create offspring so the species won’t die out. If you don’t want children, don’t have sex, or if you are going to have sex, use birth control. As for Planned Parenthood, stop tax payer funds and let it operate as a private corporation. If a woman becomes pregnant and does not want the child, she should be encouraged and supported in putting the baby up for adoption. An agency of the Roman Catholic Church helps and aids women with unwanted pregnancies who are willing to put the babies up for adoption. There are no doubt other organizations who will not encourage abortion. Once you pass a law forbidding abortion, we will return to the Rusty Coat Hanger era where women performed abortions on themselves and, after giving birth, either attempted to flush the baby down the toilet or just drop the child into the nearest trash dumpster.

As with most things in this country, abortion has been politicized. Our congresscritters never seem able to do anything with any common sense. The Brits have had a common sense abortion law for as long as we have been arguing about it – first 3 months, no limits, no questions asked; 2nd 3 months, have to have counciling but few restrictions, 3rd trimester, ONLY if the life of the mother is in danger (this does NOT include that she feels bad or any other psyc reason). Don’t know that our politicians could reason that much.

I am old enough to remember when the “pill” became available .There were also a few other methods of birth control available,menstrual extraction,abortion became legal up to 12weeks gestation & of course the sterilization option.This is the 21st century with many types of readily available birth control ,including the “morning after pill”. Modern medicine is a wonderful thing,that abortion is even necessary except in a few rare circumstances is lack of personal responsibility & education. Latest medical stats have STDs sky rocketing as well. More effort needs to be directed towards prevention of pregnancy ,what is available and where to get it ,the morning after pill is OTC. Planned parent does some of this but should be their main focus & it is not. The bill is a step in the right direction for now but we need to move into the year 2017.

The Brits have had a common sense abortion law for as long as we have been arguing about it – first 3 months, no limits, no questions asked; 2nd 3 months, have to have counciling but few restrictions, 3rd trimester, ONLY if the life of the mother is in danger (this does NOT include that she feels bad or any other psyc reason). Don’t know that our politicians could reason that much.
I am old enough to remember when the “pill” became available .There were also a few other methods of birth control available,menstrual extraction,abortion became legal up to 12weeks gestation & of course the sterilization option.This is the 21st century with many types of readily available birth control ,including the “morning after pill”. Modern medicine is a wonderful thing,that abortion is even necessary except in a few rare circumstances is lack of personal responsibility & education. Latest medical stats have STDs sky rocketing as well. More effort needs to be directed towards prevention of pregnancy ,what is available and where to get it ,the morning after pill is OTC. Planned parent does some of this but should be their main focus & it is not. The bill is a step in the right direction for now but we need to move into the year 2017.
