The Secret History of the GOP's New Abortion Ban

They snuck this one past moderates who voted right in 2014.

Anti-abortion rights groups such as Americans United for Life, which authored several states' 20-week bans, deny that they are targeting Roe's viability rule. Instead, they focus on 20 weeks postfertilization because, they claim, it's the point at which fetuses experience pain. "Many of them cry and scream as they die,"Franks says. But the scientific consensus roundly rejects this idea: For one, the relay path between the thalamus and the cerebral cortex—the connection that allows the brain to recognize pain—is not fully developed for another six weeks. The American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists says that the developmental milestones at 20 weeks—namely, the appearance of hair—are no more significant than those coming before or after.

You use a profile pic of the cult of islam with the gay flag behind it. Were you hit on the head a lot as a child, or did your brains fall out another way?

So when in doubt, it's OK to kill them?

How many Republicans have said they are not trying to ban abortions? We knew that was their goal but they didn't want to scare away voters. So instead they hid their real goal which is complete ban of abortion.

Will women of birthing age let them get away with it? If Trump and Republicans win in 2020 the answer is yes.

They will also end social security and medicare. Republicans deny this too but we all know they hate these socialist programs.
