Democrats Celebrating

@sunsporter1649 I don’t live in NY. The act was indeed passed. Your characterization of it is extreme to the point of silliness though.

[quote]The law also addresses late-term abortions. Under New York's Reproductive Health Act, they can be performed after 24 weeks [b]if the fetus is not viable or when necessary to protect the life of the mother[/b].[/quote]

And [quote] one does not have to even be a doctor to administer abortions in New York.[/quote] Is a stand-in for licensed midwives being able to prescribe the abortion pill. Big whoop lmao.

@QuixoticSoul And any clown with a coat hanger determines what is in their opinion whether the child is viable, not a medical doctor, is not in the bill?

@sunsporter1649 Uh, no, only a doctor can perform any kind of surgical abortion, whether before 24 weeks or not.

Edit: correction, a physician assistant also can, under direction and supervision of an MD.

@sunsporter1649 Odd way to describe doctors 🤷‍♂️

@QuixoticSoul You must pass the bill before you can find out what is in it. Oops, the bill is passed, now you can read it.

@sunsporter1649 The bill has been stuck in legislature since ‘06. Everyone had plenty of time to read it. It doesn’t say what you think it does.

@SW-User And New York has a law allowing abortion for medical necessity after 24 weeks. If laws are proof, then you don't get to privilege one law over another.

@OggggO I wasn't giving one privilege over another, I was pointing out the hypocrisy.

Anyway, I'm headed to bed. Thanks for the discussion.

@SW-User How is it hypocrisy for one place to do one thing and a different place to do another?

@Pherick Not true. The woman can "claim" she is financially or emotionally unable.

@Riverman Where? Where have you found a real source that says a woman can claim that and it makes it true?

The only I found was posted above, by a pro-life group. Nothing has been challenged by a court yet.

Everything people are talking about here is just prattle.

This is even going beyond the fact NO FUCKING woman is carrying a baby past 24 weeks (thats 6 months) and then goes, "Eh you know what I don't want this any more". Its a great narrative, but it just doesn't happen. Late term abortions are used when the mother's life is at risk or the fetus is not viable.

@sunsporter1649 That is a lot of words to just say nothing.

@MarmeeMarch You could look it up, as Casey Stengal used to say so often.

@sunsporter1649 Many people - believe it or not - do their research before opening their mouths. Since we know you won't, here's the actual text of the new provision. WARNING: Big words ahead.

@Riverman how sad!... but, you had a a great point... perhaps they should have put up a wall to keep the swimmers from passing through that border in the first place. 😉

@Joker Oooooh touchy touchy

@Waymore I agree 100 %! If President Trump gets kicked out of office we are screwed big time.

@katielass Do you enjoy lying?

@OggggO Do you enjoy murder?

@Tracos Absolutely true.

@Tracos yes it's true though a judge has ruled it unconstitutional. We will see what happens on the flip side of the lib coin.

@Razorback Still are. Hence this bill - which was passed in case RvW gets overturned.

@QuixoticSoul Oh, I get it, if RvW gets overturned, then the various stats have the right to overthrow Federal Law? Did not we fight a war over that once? Oops, forgot, the war never happened, all the memorials are being destroyed, it was all fake news.

@sunsporter1649 Which Federal law are you talking about? Overturning RvW wouldn’t render abortion illegal by federal law. It would just leave it unprotected. For NY, a 1970 law would go back into effect, and they just replaced it with this one.

There is no federal law against abortion.
