Why don’t liberals want babies to live?? This is more than enough time to decide if you want to abort your pregnancy. U call it extreme but 24 weeks is extreme.
No person has a right to murder
The G.O.Party of fascism has but one agenda. Destroy as many amercans as possible, ASAP.
Do women really want the government to be the dictator of this personal, painful, and complicated decision? I sure wouldn’t. Have to vote.
Wow, if you are choice or for removal of rights, this check and balance being over written is an end to Democratic Republic to an authoritarian state.
Sounds great to me.
Why do we even have laws if they can just do whatever tf they want
So 12 weeks isn’t enough time to decide what to do?
If women want to be treated like adults, they need to learn to vote Blue.
Pro life = anti-woman. It's rooted in the Bible, where women are 2nd class citizens, only slightly above livestock.
Simple question – what's more important, the woman or the baby?
I didn’t know you could get an abortion after the first trimester🤷🏻♀️ I mean that’s crazy AF 😳 That’s a big NO NO
god given right?
Nope
Great news!
God wants us to protect the most innocent life.
Cutting abortion by half over the past 30 years in a great trend for a ethical and civil society. We can do better.
Imagine if American women were legally allowed to forego motherhood through abortion and adoption, without being legally responsible for child support; yet American men are unable to legally forgo fatherhood without permission from women and are forced to pay pay child support. Double standards and female privilege are fun kids. Hands off their bodies, Hands off our wallets
The shrieking of those modern witches "SHAME!" from the upper balcony when the override came down pretty much fits the Biblical definition of, "And there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth."
Oh no! What will women do if they can't just abort babies whenever they want? Women may have to curve promiscuity! Oh no! That's also a God given right isn't it? Thank God Republican's had the backbone to do what is right. 😁
This is music to my ears and a great way to start my morning!! I swear the coffee tastes better
Okay you want to protect women's rights protect their rights to their children we do not need a law that kills unborn children we need laws that keep children with their mothers and with their families support parents rights and you will be supporting a mother's rights and women's rights to their reproductive organs protect our children
🎉🎉🎉 Great work!!🎉🎉
Cry harder you anti-american groomers 😂
My favorite part about the abortion argument is no one can support abortion without eating their own words about why they support gun control. They always have to try and resort to the “that’s different!” cop out like the hypocrites they are.
Republicans with backbone. That's new. Well done North Carolina. Side with Life. Now work on banning abortion 100%. Protect babies. Any elective abortions are murder.
“EXCEPTIONS” yet the activists are deaf to it. Be responsible with your bodies.
Abortion kills the weakest, most vulnerable, most innocent, most precious of all human beings. It is pure evil.
Most babies aborted are black why is it Democrats do not want black babies to be born
Then the babies that didnt get adopted end up homless and choked to death on a bus and then the pro life people cheer for that death
When some one says that they have a god given right to have an abortion… I start to question their religious motivations.
These things are being taken care of at the state, local level. I'm pro-choice, but also respect that the people of North Carolina are deciding the way things should be in their own back yard — if change is needed, then those voters will decide. None of this "one size fits all" federally mandated bullcrap.
“By abortion, the mother does not learn to love, but kills even her own child to solve her problems. And, by abortion, that father is told that he does not have to take any responsibility at all for the child he has brought into the world. The father is likely to put other women into the same trouble. So abortion just leads to more abortion. Any country that accepts abortion is not teaching its people to love, but to use any violence to get what they want. This is why the greatest destroyer of love and peace is abortion.”
Mother Teresa
👏👏👏👏👏👏😄
Funny how the "pro-life" people don't care about a mother possibly dying without an abortion. I swear, they think all abortions are like the "dumpster baby" bit from Family Guy (doing it for the lulz).
Remember why they fight, stem cells are a billion dollar a year industry!
Democrats and their love affair with killing babies?
But what if I told you that the Bible not only condones abortion, it gives a recipe for how to perform one? Would you be surprised?
Well, some of you wouldn’t. I’m sure you’re aware of the story from Numbers 5. For those who aren’t, here’s verses 19 through 22:
Then the priest shall make her take an oath, saying, “If no man has lain with you, if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while under your husband’s authority, be immune to this water of bitterness that brings the curse. But if you have gone astray while under your husband’s authority, if you have defiled yourself and some man other than your husband has had intercourse with you,” —let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse and say to the woman—“the Lord make you an execration and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your uterus drop, your womb discharge; now may this water that brings the curse enter your bowels and make your womb discharge, your uterus drop!” And the woman shall say, “Amen. Amen.”
That’s a lengthy way to say that if a woman cheats on her husband and gets pregnant, the priest is to perform an abortion by having her drink “bitter water.”
Amen. Amen.
To the Nurse that spoke, KEEP you legs closed and you wouldn’t have to worry about be a killer.
Those who engage in activities usually reserved for procreation should probably be more responsible.
"I'm angry I *only* get 3 months to think about it."
What, you need all 9 months you late-termers?
Okay, has anybody thought about children born to crack, cocaine, and heroin addicts? Go and volunteer to mentor these kids. Then think about a future full of young ones who were born mentally and emotionally impaired. I'm not saying abortion is okay, but we need ask ourselves are we really doing what is best for these unborn children.
"These are not obstacles to abortion. They are safeguards."
Why are they protesting? They have already won! What do they expect, free abortions on demand up through 8.5 months? Those protesters should be ashamed.
Further, who is caring about the unborn child who is being murdered? THAT IS THE SHAME. What is wrong with you people?
Well done North Carolina on this step to protect the innocent babies.
Thank God❤❤🎉🎉
This is fantastic should have been stricter
win
It is a sad day for civilization when government shows such callous disregard for the health of its mothers. Why is this? Is it just the patriarchal negativity of our Christian leaders?
It’s crazy how many people in the comments section have no qualms about ending the life of their offspring.
This is great! Now you can see how many people decide to move out of your state because you want to go back to the handmaid tale. Save every embryo! We need to make sure all these children are born so they can be raised they can go to a school where they can be shot by someone with an A.R. 15 so we cannot change any cameras and then we can say to the families. Sorry you had to go through all this devastation our thoughts and prayers go out to you, but now you can’t get pregnant and not say that embryo because you got a raise your child to get shot dead later. The hypocrisy in this country is foul!
👍 👏 👏
the forced birth big government party is out for every right you have and will not stop until you're indentured to their donors
