The reality is, most women will not sacrifice their lives for a pregnancy.  They just won't.   For whatever reason, contraception didn't work either in actuality or figuratively.  A ban on abortion will last only until women can beat the issue into mud.  They will never stop fighting for that autonomy.  Never.   They will find a way to end an unwanted pregnancy if they have to commit suicide to do it.

Many people say that abortion is a sin against God.  God's Word in the Bible admonishes me not to judge the sin in another's heart.  Judgement is His.   So, I won't.   It belongs between the woman and the Lord.  We're I to judge, that would be between me and the Lord.  Frankly, I don't need that stress.  

""I don't have to think about pregnancy either.  I'm just too old.""

I thought you were a male, I'll have to be more polite in my responses to you going forward

Ha!  Well THAT didn't stop your rudeness to Elizabeth.  JUST saying.

She made some rather offensive posts directed at me , and did call her a cunt, for which I apologised  on a couple of occasions, I understand my comment was out of line , I can only throw myself on the sword so many times , she had a potty mouth on her

Just for starters, I'm not so sure I buy the opening remarks:

As we near the midterm elections many are asking how will the Supreme Court’s decision on abortion influence how people vote? With a host of other issues like inflation, student loans, the war in Ukraine, immigration, the president’s age, and the pandemic competing for the attention of voters, just how important is the issue of abortion?

Very.

Now, I do know a guy - a friend of Mr. 2's - who thinks it's pertinent, and is going to hurt Pubs.  All 3 of us hope he's wrong.

But here's [part of] the Vaseline sandwich that's near next to impossible to swallow:

From the time a young woman menstruates to the time she is done with the last symptom of menopause and beyond, women are in constant conversation with other women about the everyday reality of their reproductive organs.

Seriously?  Any of you ladies here care to chime in on that?  I can tell you that it's about the LAST conversation on my mind, and that hasn't changed in 40 years, with the exception perhaps being when I was actually pregnant.

It gets even more stupid:

For many women these discussions eventually revolve around pregnancy, and for a subset of the female population, there is an additional struggle and trauma associated with getting pregnant in the first place. The intensity of pregnancy is usually the first time in this saga that men become aware of the realities of reproduction as they learn about the dangers and problems their partners could face. For most of human history, pregnancy has been dangerous and often fatal. Women with uteri can experience ectopic pregnancies, preeclampsia, and placental complications. After these health risks comes the trauma of delivery and the possibility of fetal distress, perinatal asphyxia, placenta previa, and host of other complications that can still be fatal even with modern medicine. Most men have never heard of these complications until their wife or partner is pregnant. And after the pregnancy, men rarely talk about these issues again and they recede into the background.

What in blazes name is wrong with women that; a) one can write such tripe, and b) other women - AND MEN - take her seriously??!!
Drama much?  Good gravy, please remind me we're in the 21st century.  Or, better yet, remind THEM.

The rest is here, for anyone thinking he may need to read more to in order to comment.

You know, losing Rush, and to a lesser extent losing the O'Reilly Factor which went into a lot of Independent's living rooms, the combo loss has really really put a crimp into conservative messaging.

Is there anyone who can fill that void?

I'm sure there are good reasons for medical abortions to save the life of the mother.   But we aren't to use it as birth control.  THAT is just not right.
