  1. "The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike orphans, they don't need money, education, or childcare; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It's almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe.

  2. A dream of traveling to America who will fulfill it for me 🙇😭😭😭😭😭

  3. I would not personally choose abortion under most circumstances, but if I was a woman,there is no way I would let the government dictate my course of action.

  4. Several months ago, we discovered at the 21 week ultrasound that our baby had a severe skeletal dysplasia, with a small rib cage and lungs, and would not be able to breathe after birth.

    The clinicians involved in the procedure had to agree to perform it, and, because it was second trimester, the hospitals ethics committee had to review the circumstances of the abortion and approve it.

    That should be enough. Lawmakers know nothing about all the thousands of complications that can arise in pregnancy and fetal development.

    Abortion is a complicated and every circumstance is different. Healthcare decisions should remain between a patient and her doctor.

  5. Technology changed in the blink of an eye
    yet her legs are stil up in the sky
    while the nurse tells her to
    slide down lower
    and the doctor holds his
    vacuum like it's a damned hoover

    It takes a seed and his came by the thousands and it's her who they want to send to prison because she's free
    but not really and it's her body but not really
    so she can't drive and she can't vote and high school's feels like a damned joke
    but here she's got a doctor's note,
    and she is holding her doll
    with her belly starts to poke

    it's not your fault, baby girl
    and it shouldn't be your burden to carry
    when his sentence is to force you to marry
    your abuser and the state
    will accuse her
    because it's her body
    but not really and it's her right
    Don't be petty
    when his seed comes by the thousand and he still gets to walk freely.

    She watches witch burnings on tv
    and she hides in the alley not wanting to be seen
    a hanger in one hand and a needle in the other
    she's not ready to be anyone's mother
    and it's her life but not really
    it's her body don't be petty
    he held her down like so many others
    it's his seed one in thousands
    Must she die to save her child
    who will care for the millions
    he walks the street feeling cocky
    claims his innocent like it's his destiny

    he walks into the office he claims his seat at the table
    he lives his life like Cane met Able
    it's his seed one in thousands
    he feels no shame and no restraint

    so who is trapped in this economy
    when all the world loves new technology
    should she bear society's hypocracy
    when it's her body but not really

  6. What the hell, get you voice heard on election day! it should be heard every day !!! Stupid law.

  7. This story is not what it seems she falls into the exemption criteria in Louisiana but Medicare won’t pay for it.. she has to pay for it herself. That’s really the issue. It’s not that they can’t get the abortion in Louisiana it’s that they can’t pay for it that’s why she is doing online fund raising and of course ABC news doesn’t tell the whole story they only tell the part that enrages people.

  8. ALERT as many of your student friends or family members as possible about this initiative, urging them also to write letters to their local newspapers against abortion.

  9. Another way to play on emotions to trick ppl to sacrifice their children and have no conscience about it ….wickedness abounding and the love of many waxing cold

  10. This kind of confusion would end immediately if Pro Abortion (Pro Eugenics) factions would just be honest about extermination.

  11. Perma victim and race baiting attorney tells the real story…….epic level gaslighting.

  12. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=17BD9aqIcGE

    Absolute truth and Clarity Regarding Abortion from the Major Ulema of Ahlul Sunnah (Islamic Perspective)

  13. Not sure what to think, only because doctors are not God, they don't know everything. Many women have gone on to have healthy babies, despite the doctors telling them otherwise. My own opinion is that she should at least wait a few more months to see what happens. It seems premature to destroy the child.

  14. Vote Blue and bring America Back from the dark corrupt madness of the GOP

  15. when half the country say no to abortion, you've pretty much lost the whole abortions/fetus doesn't count as murder argument. abortion is murder ho's. Baby killers unite!!!! …….in a blue state.

  16. My thing is you were going to kill your baby anyway! They also knew the law changed months ago.

  17. This is just an opportunity to cry wolf. The exception applies and she is free to go to Cali.

  18. I have a question since they’re forcing women to have children, can the women sue the state to pay for all medical and care of the child until they are adults?

  19. Keep grazing ABC viewers.

  20. bull 💩 is what I call and of course she's black here comes another race bait garbage
