A woman faces a murder charge in Texas over an alleged self-induced abortion

I note the hypocrisy here. We stress working for a living. ....

In order to...

Some Republican men really wish their women mistresses to get an abortion. You'd be surprised.

Republican Men Are Against Abortion — Until They Want Their Mistress To Get One

Republican men in Congress have made banning legal and safe abortion a cornerstone of their platform — that is unless they need their mistress to get one.

Usually one post some bs like this when they are man haters bhaahaha.

You have a point. But if we want everyone working and some people focus on work instead of a family is that wrong?

 

[BlackSand]

Think about it. What happens if fewer and fewer young people start families? Bear in mind all the bitching around here about immigration.

.

That's a hard sell ... If the government isn't doing anything about unbridled immigration, it's not encouraging to prospective parents.
Unless of course they are in Guatemala.

Republicans claimed that they weren't going after abortion rights. That was a lie

Republicans claimed that no one would be going to jail with the new laws in Texas (and many other red states). That was a lie

You can not trust Republicans

A person can be taken into custody for attempting to take his or her own life.

Suicide is not a criminal act. Any "custody" into which a person is taken subsequent to a suicide attempt is on the basis of a psychiatric emergency.

You don't think raising a family is work?

Suicide is not a criminal act because it wouldn't do any good to try and charge the person with a crime.
You are correct that attempted suicide can most certainly end up resulting in consequences governed by the State, whether or not it is considered criminal.

Yes raising a family is work which explains why many young couples are thinking it's hard to carry on a career full time and raise a family as well. And they have a valid point.

Despite the fact that people work and raise families all the time. The church of Self-centered Laziness is busy getting it's word out.

That's your opinion. I don't see it as self centered. It's not anyone's duty to have kids.

Interestingly though, many countries do criminalize suicide, and in England suicide attempts were punishable by execution.

It seems all are welcome ...

Young people nowadays know where babies come from by the time they hit puberty.
Birth control is easily accessible and inexpensive if not free.

Unwanted pregnancies (for the most part, not all) are very much the result of self-centered laziness.

Good luck decomposing in an overcrowded old folks home with no one to take care of you, no doctors, no utilities, no infrastructure, and at the mercy of any half-assed foreign military that decides to come blow you up. Too late to regret when the chickens of lazy self-centeredness come home to roost.

Suicide hasn't even been a crime in England since 1961 and I could find no reference to anyone being executed for it ever

When suicide was illegal

Up until 50 years ago suicide was a crime in England and Wales. But why were people prosecuted for attempted "self-murder" and how did things change?

You need to stop saying stupid shit

If it takes two full time workers just to barely scrape by what do you suggest then? Forcing people who don't want kids to have them?

They do indeed

 

[initforme]

I don't think they really do.

I don't think they really do.

Why do you think that. How many red states have passed forced birth bills?

12?

I have no idea if anyone was ever executed for a failed suicide attempt. I simply said it was punishable by execution. Also note use of the past tense.
