  1. About 39 years ago I was close to 13 weeks pregnant and had an abortion. Near the end of the abortion the nurse said 'Oh My God' and stared for about a minute then left the room. The doctor continued staring for about a minute or two longer. I saw they were in shock and knew they watched my baby die. My legs were draped so I could not see. Please read below of the extremely fast speed of fetal development. Heart pumping blood day 21, brain waves day 40. see "Baby Center- Fetal Development Week By Week" which

    states on WEEK 11 the baby can FEEL if the belly is gently poked on mom, is KICKING and STRETCHING, almost fully developed. Look at the pictures – the fetus looks like a developed baby. I was told at the appointment the fetus was just tissue – the same lie told today despite the advanced technology showing the truth. Many women do not discover they are pregnant until 6 weeks have already passed. – heartbeat and brain waves are present. The babys have bodies and rights also. Murder is not a right.

    The Reality of 1st Trimester Surgical Abortions – Dr Norman MacLean NZOM see Fetal Development Milestones: 9 Weeks from conception: … Thumb sucking may occur.

  2. Like driving a car: shift [R] to go backward; shift [L] to move forward. 🇺🇸

  3. Worry about your own family mind your business woman can chose for themselves

  4. Dasha Burns is bad bro lol…

  5. This is just the beginning, wait till the midterms

  6. That message wasn't a mistake Lord no that's the right wing Christians doing the devils work PRAISE THE LORD

  7. ONLY MORE DEMOCRACY WILL SAVE THIS COUNTRY! THANK YOU, KANSAS!

  8. This is great news for Kansas.

    We must vote and remove lawmakers that are bullying, racist, supporting inequality, anti-abortion, etc

  9. Evangelicals and Catholics want to impose THEIR religious beliefs on all Americans.

  10. Now Kansas you need to vote ALL your corrupt lying filthy gutter scum and slime republicans out of office in NOVEMBER!!!!

  11. Ugh. That woman “I just want my children to always value life”. Honey, that’s called parenting – you should be teaching them values, not changing laws to force YOUR values on everyone.

  12. The Christian nationalists are starting to discover just how deeply unpopular their agenda is. The American people will defy them.

  13. Every white supremacist is pro-choice because it means less black people. Just remember that.

  14. Im from Wichita. It was packed. Its 60% to 30% for no right now. Land of the free. Not land of the Christian Nazis

  15. Republicans are cheaters. Of course a text like that would go out. there was too much info and explanation of what yes or no really meant (actually it's almost always worded backwards on the ballots). But in Kansas they have their very own brand of cheating. But like every other shady move the Kansas legislature has tried to pull off, rewriting the the way property tax is levied, basically exempting manufacturing businesses from paying taxes on behalf of a refinery and cement plant who were at the end of a tax abatement and sitting on a whole lot of property. Magically, after the right word went in the right ear even by a member of the left… and all of a sudden the EPA DOES exist in Kansas and gets to do their job. .and here I thought they were just for show like the KDHE. and that bill, after the fines for the constant violations were FINALLY, ABRUPTLY levied, well it went bye bye bye. It never left the Ways and Means Committee. Note to the lap dogs, never ever bite the hand that feeds you, you're big but you're not THAT big. Fun fact: A bill that cannot get enough support on the floor to bring it to a vote, namely because citizens are speaking out about its unfairness and dishonesty, the Ways and Means keeps it alive and it can be snuck out without discussion, placed in another popular bill and get passed very, very underhandedly. You have to watch all elected people like a hawk, there's a lot of folks with a lot of money who can usually find enough to buy off an elected official from the school board to the president of the United States. Voting is one way of making a difference but activism, making fellow citizens aware of what is about to happen, calling your representative or going to the legislature and speaking which lets them know how many voters are watching and how they feel…. it makes a difference.

  16. How can it be that so many people support killing babies? It’s truly sad and baffling. Something I will never understand.

  17. Let’s go baby killers!

  18. They just want to keep making money off the lives of babies.

  19. Infanticide? sure that's what you want?

  20. This is the reason why Republicans don’t want high voter turnout

  21. Look at all the people fighting to exterminate the black race. Or did they forget that's what planned parenthood was founded on?

  22. Alles sehr schön. Aber zuerst zusammen die Nummern 10 und 1. Eine empr.ONLINE Brünette und eine andered Blondine. Es wäre unfair, wenn ich 4 wählen würde

  23. Mind boggling abortion rights are still being debates and taken away. This is super simple, should the government be allowed to take bodily autonomy away or not? Should you be forced to be a life support system? If so, then the government should also be allowed to force people to give blood, plasma, bone marrow, kidney, skin ect. To save lives. Also, for the people that think the government should make this choice for people, you don't have to have an abortion if you think it's wrong,but to think you should be allowed to choose that for others is absolutely vile.

  24. Or do nothing and require a body guard to court everyday. Oh no it's not getting better its going to actually get worse so worse you soon can't even trust your guards. Understand?

  25. The Gray Branch is at least plastic and can move agendas up or down. Think Forward

  26. Ok. What's the alternative? Spend tens of thousands of dollars protecting you Mr. And Miss black and white. From? Ordinary American citizens?

  27. We need a New Branch of Government that deals in and especially with the Gray of Law. We all know of the Gray so why doesn't a Branch exist to adhere to? Out of touch? Out of remedy! Ok delivered the Gray Branch of Government

  28. Like life all things mature and what requires a new Branch of Government must be produced to include. We need the gray branch.

  29. Alot of Gray that neither white nor Black can answer this is one. We need a mid Heaven. Sorry I meant to say mid Earth

  30. The Problem is the Black and white when such a measure needs a gray. Unfortunately America has no Gray Law. Does it need it to make peace? Yeah!

  31. IF men could get pregnant there would be an abortion pill machine in every sports bar restroom, liquor store, McD's, Walmart, train station, 7-11, gas station, uber back seat, airport or church lobby. BINGO!

    National Library of Medicine;

    An abortion is a procedure to end a pregnancy. It uses medicine or surgery to remove the embryo or fetus and placenta from the uterus.

    NOT 'child' NOT 'baby' NOT 'person with rights'.

    GET AN EDUCATION and STOP BIRTHING MORE DUMB OFFSPRING

  32. LIBERTY, all autonomous humans have a right to bodily autonomy. A fetus is not autonomous. Period.

  33. And who was trying to cheat. Republicans

  34. GOP cant not cheat haha!
