General Discussion
In reply to the discussion: Arkansas Senate passes bill to ban abortions after 20 weeks [View all]I think any and all necessary medical exceptions to the law could be made. I am not talking about those kinds of problems, and maybe the Arkansas bill is not adequate in that regard. My point was that for most women, 20 weeks should enough time.
Maybe you and the next poster are concerned that one restriction will inevitably lead to an overturning of Roe v Wade, but that logic is very much like what the gun lobby uses to keep any laws restricting gun use from succeeding.
And mostly I read this site, articles on Buzzflash etc..., no obvious pro-life propaganda there.
I come by these beliefs honestly from a Catholic family. Do you think it is at all possible that well-meaning and thoughtful people might disagree on this?
My feelings about the sanctity are sincere; they inform my staunch opposition to the drone strikes, too.
Have a heart; being liberal and pro-life has never been easy. I'd be vilified by the right for supporting it up to 20 weeks.
