So when they say they want abortion safe, legal, and rare...

That's usually the type of response I get around here nowadays,

when I've won the argument.

I'm sure it comforts you to pretend that.

However, back in reality:
Yet the training is to be provided by the Board of Registered Nursing, not by physicians, and the protocols for defining "supervision" have not been specified. There is nothing in the legislation requiring a physician to be present or on-site during an abortion.​
Yet more badly-written liberal legislation.

Here's the thing Dave; if this makes abortions much more dangerous in California, don't you think that the malpractice insurance rates for these will go through the roof? If they do, then it won't pay to allow non-doctors to perform the abortions in the first place. Of course, insurance underwriters have most likely already determined that there is no greater risk, and therefore rates will remain as is making this a feasible and "safe" option. Insurance underwriters have no skin in the game other than money, so I would tend to believe them over anyone else. You should too.
Malpractice insurance is not mentioned in the bill.

Further, AB 154 does not require the non-physician abortionists to carry special malpractice insurance.​

That's true. You can read the text of the law here: Bill Text - AB-154 Abortion.

No mention of insurance.

So insurance underwriters have no skin in the game at all.
 
Non medical personnell performing invasive medical procedures. What could possibly go wrong?

This raises an unwanted pregnancy to a death penalty offence. Roll dem bones take your chances. Bellies in the front door, corpses out the back door.

After years of fighting for safe abortions, liberals have suceeded in giving legitimacy to the back alley provider.

Factual, intelligent reasoning such is this is anathema to conservative hyperbole and demagoguery.
Keep reading. You'll find his point is meaningless. The law does not require insurance for the new abortionists.

I believe you were saying something about hyperbole and demagoguery...?
 
Daveman -



Conservatives want the right to rule every aspect of people's lives.
Progressives lie.

The evidence would indicate otherwise.

Conservatives seek to give government greater authority to interfere with citizens’ private lives, such as dictating to a woman whether she may have a child or not, or dictating to homosexuals whom they may or may not marry.

There are examples of conservatives advocating that government prohibit how or where Muslims might worship, that government compel citizens take unwarranted, un-Constitutional drug tests, and that government discriminate against married same-sex couples.

So, no, it's not a ‘progressive lie.’
Really? Then perhaps you can explain how progressives opposing laws requiring abortion clinics being safer and supporting laws allowing non-surgeons to perform abortions REALLY means progressives want abortions to be safe and rare?

Can you do that?
 
Since there is zero evidence that this makes abortion less safe,

you've lost the argument.
It's easy to claim there's no evidence when you ignore it.

Again:
Yet the training is to be provided by the Board of Registered Nursing, not by physicians, and the protocols for defining "supervision" have not been specified. There is nothing in the legislation requiring a physician to be present or on-site during an abortion.​

None of that is evidence that this procedure is less safe when performed by a trained professional who isn't a doctor.

btw, why are you pretending this matters to you?

Clearly conservatives don’t believe in states’ rights, otherwise it shouldn’t matter.

Some professionals think it will be, as shown in the OP. Do you think you know better than them?
btw, why are you pretending this matters to you?
No pretense. Human life matters to me.

To progressives? Not so much. You can tell because they only want abortion to be legal. They don't give a damn about safe or rare.

Awww, it's so cute when you think you have a point.
 
Daveman -

Conservatives respect the right of the unborn not to be killed.

Conservatives want the right to rule every aspect of people's lives.

How can the Conservatives do that, when the Liberals have achieved it already?
Liberals have it down to a fine art of even micromanaging.

Okay there Dave. I guess clinics that perform abortions don't carry malpractice insurance. :cuckoo:
 
An unwanted pregnancy is not something a woman should be forced to endure.
Considering that abortions due to rape and incest are a vanishingly small percentage of the reasons given for seeking abortion, perhaps women (and their partners) should take a few more precautions to prevent getting pregnant.

Does this mean that you support women having free access to contraception since that would be a precaution that would prevent them from becoming pregnant?
 
The abortion issue is a statist issue.

The only question is whether right wing or left wing statists will win.
 
The social traditionalists, many of them, do care about children, before and after pregnancy.

Unfortunately, some of them don't care, and use the emotionalism of the issue for political points.
 
It is illegal for anyone to perform an abortion=government tyranny.

Or

A woman may choose whether or not to have an abortion=freedom from government tyranny.

In theory everyone who embraces libertarian principles should be pro-choice. Anyone who is for small government should be pro-choice too. Anyone who is opposed to government spending should be pro-choice. Anyone who supports the Constitution and the Bill of Rights should be pro-choice.

In practice it is another matter entirely.
 
And of course the fact that the rest of the developed world has had safe, legal abortion for generations is news to the OP....

Here's a tip for conservatives - if you don't believe in abortion - don't have one. Otherwise, respect the rights of others to make their own decision.

Well said.
