Always Faithful
Before our white fathers arrived here, our red fathers considered age "1" as the first year of life and "2" the second year of life. European tradition counts year "1" after the first year is up.It does have consequences, blackrook. For the first time that I know of in human history, women on a mass scale are killing their own babies, and from what I've seen, there is a gross devaluation of human life from doing so. Crazy laws have been passed to reward medical doctors for engaging in abortion procedures with caustic penalties in some states for refusing to practice abortion. Congress fears retaliation if it declares the unborn to be living citizens and goes with the "they're only a bunch of bloody cells thrown together that are not human beings. (a lie.) Human life starts somewhere, and traditionaly, that has been in the womb of women.
Then why do we count a person's "birthday" and not their "conception" day to calculate their age?
Here's the thing you anti-choice nuts don't get. There were just as many abortions going on before Roe as after.
Abortion laws weren't like the murder laws, they were like the prostitution laws or Prohibition. They were laws that everyone ignored, were rarely prosecuted, and people politely pretended they were being "moral".
All the court determined was 'This shit ain't working!"
Here's the ugly reality... If a woman doesn't want to be pregnant, she will find a way to not be pregnant. Every country that has tried to ban abortion has failed, miserably.
If you guys were really serious about wanting less abortions, there's ways to get there. Paid family leave, universal health care, comprehensive sex education and availability of contraceptives.
Sex education has not stopped teen pregnancy onset. It has had the gross effect of proliferated pregnancy beginnings and initially preached young unmarried women into deciding to kill the fetus before it gets any bigger. In some circles today, womanhood begins at the time of her first abortion. It sickens me to think about 58 million unborn Americans slewn by acceptance of a mother that her happiness is more important than her baby's life is. Unfortunately, the consequence of that lie is that it is one, and it doesn't take long for feelings of guilt to make the woman either sick to her soul or as calloused as the flyswatter killing of a fly is to the spider that was thrilled not to have to work for that meal.
