Last week, Georgia joined the ranks of states in a sudden rush to ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected, as early as six weeks after conception -- before a woman may even know that she is pregnant. Kentucky, Mississippi, and Ohio passed similar laws this year. Alabama is taking its fight against choice even further, with a bill that not only bans abortions but makes it a crime for a doctor to perform an abortion.
Carliss ChatmanWhy the rush to pass legislation that will face an inevitable challenge from civil liberties, civil rights, and womens' rights organizations? Because anti-choice legislators believe they will face a friendly bench in the Supreme Court.The Supreme Court, first in Roe v. Wade in 1973, in Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992, and yet again in Whole Woman's Health v.

Opinion Isn’t it interesting how all these anti-abortionists are all right wing men, who if it was them getting pregnant, would be screaming their heads of about their rights.
Opinion Let's be honest. Liberals want abortion ONLY because they want to practice eugenics. Subjective notions of whether this is right or wrong aside, your dreams WILL lead to a less diverse population, which hinders survivability.
Opinion yes if all those 'pro-lifers' mean what they say , they need to step up and adopt all these children who have no parents, no homes, no one to love them. Somebody has to take care of all the children they expect women to 'be forced' to give birth to
Opinion So no story about Barr appointing an Investigator to find out the bottom of the Russian hoax or are you scared that you will be found tied up in it when Horowitz report cones out?🤔🤔
Opinion It's sad that our state governments are assuming the supreme court will be bias. Sad. Sad day. Smart arguments against it though!
Opinion Abortion was a crime before Alabama recognised it. It’s called murder. It’s been a crime for a while (Exodus 20:13, Proverbs 6:16-17). Abortion is a modern day holocaust that we will have to give account for to God Repent ProLife AbortionIsMurder
Opinion In the Alabama and Georgia restrictive abortion regulations, is there a provision for republicans' pregnant mistresses?
Opinion It's so terrible to see so many of the people willing to vote their entitlements 'AWAY'.
