THIS IS NOT DECISION THAT A GOV. OFFICIAL SHOULD BE INVOLVED IN.. THE DECISION IS BETWEEN THE WOMAN AND HER CHOSEN PHYSICIAN....END OF STORY...GET OUT OF MY BODY, IT IS NOT YOUR VEHICLE AND IT IS NOT YOUR RIGHT TO FORCE A FAULTY FATE UPON ME...IF U R LOOKING AT VOTING A PRO LIFE AGENDA.....U R GOING TO BE IN THE MINORITY AND YOUR VOTE WILL BE VOIDED OUT....WOMEN R PISSED,YA AND DON'T TELL ME THERE R PRO LIFE WOMEN....BECAUSE I KNOW THE ECONOMICS I N THIS COUNTRY AND BEING ABLE TO RAISE A CHILD TO 18 OR MORE IS COSTLY AS HELL. MONEY IS THE MOTIVATOR AND WHEN THERE IS NO MONEY....GUESS WHAT????? I AM SO ASTOUNDED THAT THE EQUATION IS OVERLOOKED....YOU THINK WOMEN R GOING TO STAND BY AND ALLOW A MAN TO DICTATE THE DIRECTION OF HER LIFE????? YES, I AM SHOUTING,BECAUSE THIS HAS REACHED IT'S END.....STOP THE FUCKING WITH MY BODY.
Even though this is NOT an abortion thread, I will still ask a couple questions.
1. If there should be no limits on when a woman can kill her baby (aka fetus), does that mean that European countries are all wrong and all hate women?
2. If it's a woman's right to kill her baby at any point in a pregnancy, isn't it a man's right to not have anything to do with the baby if the woman decides not to kill it? If he doesn't want his child to die, she has a right to kill it and he has no say. You can't have it both ways, yet that's what you demand.
I still say that voters who are struggling to survive the Harris/Biden economy care much more about feeding and housing their families than they care about making it easier to kill babies at any point of a pregnancy.
You should really read "The Handmaid's Tale." It's a 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood. The plot is about a dystopian society following a Second American Civil War wherein a totalitarian society subjects fertile women, called "Handmaids", to child-bearing slavery.
You'd probably enjoy it, while learning a lot about women's freedom.
If you're not a reader of novels, there is a TV series with the same name that is based on Atwood's book. I think HULU is streaming it.

It is absurd to think that novel has any relation to modern US society. Women have more power than ever before. America has never been this secular. The favored candidate in the presidential election is a woman. This is not Gilead.
I did read the novel years ago. And they also made a pretty good movie. I haven't watched the miniseries.

If you got your wish and this country became a democracy where states have no individual laws and the majority rules, would you want important laws like abortion to be decided by politicians and judges, or would you prefer the people vote for limits or lack of when it comes to when a human life can be terminated? How is it Democratic to allow 9 biased judges to make that decision for 330 million people?

You've missed the point completely. In your post, the second point was about the rights of the man who impregnated the woman. Should he have the right to FORCE the woman to carry his child to term?
Hence, the reference to Handmaid's Tale. (which you've obviously never read.)

I have never said that is my wish. You MAGA boys really like to put words in other people's mouths.

Since the males on this board are referred to as “boys”, should we refer to the women on this board as girls? It doesn’t offend me but it does seem a little strange.
You recently said you didn’t like the Electoral College and would rather have a majority rule when it comes to elections. That’s what you would have in an actual democracy, which is far different than a Representative Republic. I realize today’s Democrats think they are smarter than the founders who created a system that gives all Americans equal voting power. Imagine if the entire country was governed like CA. Every state has different needs and different cultures and each state should have an equal say based on population. That’s why the left wants to pack all of our cities with poor unvetted “migrants”… bump up the numbers and you bump up the number of representatives.
The founders were infinitely wiser than the people you want to continue wrecking the country.
