At six weeks:

You probably should include the magnification with that image. A fetus at six weeks is about the size of a pomegranate seed. I discovered I was expecting one of our children when I went to the doctor for something else and they prescribed medication so I had to take a pregnancy test due to the type of medication. Had no clue I was pregnant (skipping periods is not uncommon for long distance runners). Was about six to eight weeks pregnant.

It’s as if he doesn’t realize there is an available search button we can all use to see the changing story on this fire outside his apartment. It went from yea I talked to the people dressed in black saying they were Antifa that started it, to there was a fire right outside my window, to there was a fire near the ground level of my complex.

I make fun of him for his need to post YouTube videos as an argument on a topic but he really needs to stop being caught in the YouTube feedback loop. Maybe have him watch The Social Dilemma so he can see how he's being played by YouTube and others. I swear he wasn't ever as red pill as he seemed to get in the wake of George Floyd and BLM.

You can look up the video from the link I gave y'all when I actually went down to the protest. You can see the dumpster fire right across the street I used to live, and talked to bystanders that weren't part of antifa.

White men need to be excluded from running anything bigger than a convenience store for at least ten years. A bunch of us aren't bad guys, but as a group, it's pretty fucking dismal. 

I'm dealing with a lot of race and state shame this week. At least the national GOPs have the courage to (try to) block the divisiveness of an investigation into their party's support for an insurrection. Thank goodness we'll be spared that!!!!

The question is: Do you want to jail women who choose abortion or those who perform abortions? 

A citizen can believe the practice to be immoral, barbaric, or against God. We are not required, as citizens, to endorse. We are required to tolerate. My standing as a citizen means that I give and acceptance tolerance.

I don't care if the fetus looks like a puppy and barks like a puppy, it's none of my business what a woman does with her pregnancy.

 

But I diverge from the real issue, Abbott is doing this to fend off an attack on his right flank. No libtard Gestapo in Bastropo. Yes to heartbeat Gestapo running around in jackboots and sporting stethoscopes. 

Visual chosen for humor, but it's actually disturbing. Googled Nazi with stethoscope.

Spoiler

 

 

"I hear a heartbeat! I hear a heartbeat! No abortion for you!"

"That's my heart, you idiot!  I'm a man. "

"Snowflake! Snowflake! Beta!"

 

One wonders if there is anything Abbott won't do for a vote. Earlier I mentioned my sex and state shame. Add university shame to that.

This is only the question for people that wish to obfuscate and justify barbarism. 

The answer is not to throw people in jail.  

The answer is to become a systematically less barbaric society. 

But puppies and doggy barks I guess.

If one is talking about passing laws and making something a crime, then you are indeed talking about incarceration and fines. I don't obfuscate anything at all.

I have no idea how your third sentence even fits into a discussion about the governor creating criminal law by fiat.

You're right on about the puppies, however. Outstanding guess.

I'll follow up by saying I agree with what Bill Clinton said when nominated. I would prefer no woman have to choose. I would prefer that there be no abortions, that all pregnancies were welcome. I respect anybody trying to use persuasion to change a woman's mind about abortion so long as the persuasion is not intrusive.

But I'm not dictating to a woman that she have a child.

Are you pro life, or anti abortion? I feel the pro-life label is a little too broad since it includes death penalty and some people are okay with the state using it as means to kill those that are hopefully rightly convicted.

HEB doesn’t require masks either. He goes to Wal-Mart to scope out hot ass.

and this is a good question sort of...but i would say 'pro-life or anti-choice' as literally nobody thinks abortions are awesome. 

having said that, you bring up a good point... it's always seemed the height of hypocrisy to me for someone to be pro-life and also pro-capital punishment. if you believe 'all life is sacred'... then all life is sacred.

one of the few issues i give credit to the Catholic church for, they are ideologically consistent in their pro-life stance.

It's not my place to speak for Anastasis, but it's my belief that he is Catholic based on my limited former Southern Baptist/current heathen knowledge of some of the things he's said regarding epistemological topics of which I have very limited understanding. My impression is that he's always been pretty forthright regarding his opposition to both the death penalty and abortions.

Having said that, I'm not sure what his faith has to do with his economic and fiscal libertarian beliefs as I've never looked into how they may or may not jibe. But, given that he's also been wary of criticism of Rand Paul (and I'm also assuming Ron Paul), I'd guess he's squared away his political belief system with them, who are also both vocal opponents of abortion while also being libertarians.

I'm not going to get into it as the abortion debate exhausts me and has been hashed out too many times to count on this and the previous site. Personally, I think there is room for limits based on the viability of the fetus etc. etc. etc. but ultimately think the decision rests with the mother, and I say that as an adoptee who could very well have been aborted had my biological mother chosen to do so since her step-father offered to fly her to someplace where it was legal in 1971.

Edit: It looks like he's just weighed in to explain his stance from a libertarian perspective.

It is quite the conundrum. With no easy answer. Which is why it should be devoid of politics. But I guess that’s a bridge too far nowadays.

On this we agree.  There is no political solution to the issue. Social and moral death spiral imo.
