Thread Name: BS: Roe v. Wade
Subject: RE: BS: Roe v. Wade
There's simply no objective test for when human life "actually" begins, so people will believe what they want.

As long as laws are based on opinions about the beginning of life, there will never be a widely agreed-upon resolution.

Every woman should have control over her own body - just as we men have.

14th Amendment: equal protection under the law for all persons in the U.S.

Neil Gorsuch said during his confirmation hearing (and I quote) "A fetus is not a person."

I asked an elderly lady if women discussed legalizing abortion much before Roe. She said it wasn't even a topic in the '40s and '50s and definitely not a movement. Until Roe, she'd never given it a thought. If a women got an illegal abortion, she'd never speak of it.

But in retrospect, she said women's automatic acceptance of "the way things were" now seems unimaginable.
