The U.S. Senate will vote Monday on a bill that would ban abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy and would threaten doctors with up to five years in jail. --- kin to all that throbs ... Copied to Clipboard!

I agree with the idea, but blanket bans are a shit sandwich that creates a trap that the opposite side can wave like a flag. I'd support it if it required a doctor's opinion to have one past that point.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Pre-natal screenings start happening at 3 months, which is about 13 weeks. And further pre-natal screening happens during week 15-20, which is more than enough time to find out if your child has a defect and you can choose to abort or not abort during that time.

This is so dumb and transparent. The vast majority of abortions happen well before 20 weeks. The main reason 20 weeks has been thrown around so much is that 22-24 weeks (viability) is the Roe V. Wade cutoff. They just want to jam an abortion case up the Supreme Court's ass.

I mean, most countries have it around 20-28 week mark I think, save for medical complications. Why does it need to be changed? America's is at 24 weeks I believe? it just seems unnecessary to battle to change it from it is, given states can them regulate their own laws on it (afaik anyway)

And a baby at 20 weeks can start moving and kicking. And a lot can happen at any time, there is no magic formula that works 100%. Brain defects, which can be caught early are the most important part of the screening. 99% of abortions take place before 20 weeks and provides enough coverage supporters and opponents of abortion.

However, you have to look at everything that surrounds this. Republicans keep pushing laws to stall abortion as long as they can. Closing as many clinics as they can, adding waiting periods, forcing multiple visits, etc. By giving them something like this, they'll know that they "only" have to stall the woman in any way they can for four months and then abortion would be illegal for her. This is a terrible idea, because it'll just ramp up their opposition even further. ... Copied to Clipboard!

The legislation exempts women who require an abortion to save their lives, as well as rape and incest survivors, but the legislation does not include exemptions for health of the mother or severe fetal anomalies, which often cant be detected until the 20-week ultrasound. Aren't those very similar things? Like, it's fine if the mother won't die but will be severely damaged from the pregnancy? Anyway, I'm fine with a ban around this 20 week timeframe for health reasons and stuff. Is there a reason these exemptions seem to be so partisan? --- Posted with GameRaven 3.4 Beta 1 ...

So I've been reading a bit more about this bill. It seems like those in support of the bill are using the main argument that the kid can feel pain at that point. But apparently that science isn't completely true?
Either way, it seems like most people are fine with abortions not being after 20 weeks, with the exception of various situation and conditions. Why not just try to agree better on what those exceptions are --- Posted with GameRaven 3.4 Beta 1 ... Copied to Clipboard!
