The Roman Empire did not consider a baby to be a "person" until it was 1 year old. Is that the new Dem plan for America?

Two thousand years ago in Imperial Rome, newborn infants were not legal people before their 1st birthday. A mother of an unwanted child could simply toss the infant onto any of their numerous trash heaps. People who wanted to adopt a child could look about on trash heaps, find one still alive, and take it home.

Is that the new Democratic plan for American children? Or are infant body parts too high priced to toss out?

I'm not a Dem insider, but I'm curious where they are going. Just wondering. What is the Dem plan here?

I don't think I've ever heard anyone propose this. Are you trying to troll or just that ignorant?

@ViciDraco Don't keep up on current events?
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 apparently not the same current events you do.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ViciDraco Obviously. I don't watch CNN so I guess you do.

@hippyjoe1955 I tend to read my news more often than not. Care to share what current events support your speculation?

@ViciDraco Have you heard of NYs new abortion law?
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 yep, just responded about it below
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ViciDraco So you don't see the parallel?
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 I see a reasonable law that pro lifers are freaking out about. Late term about is only allowed in that instance if the health of parent or child is needed. And you are making wild leaps of false equivalence.

@ViciDraco What is reasonable about killing people you don't consider people?

@Greybare ignoring whether a fetus is a baby or not, what do you plan to do about homelessness and healthcare? Or does life no longer matter once it learns to talk?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@ViciDraco How does your answer even make sense?
ViciDraco · 36-40, M
@hippyjoe1955 because you claim to give such a care about saving the unborn but you cry and complain if we talk about raising taxes to provide healthcare and save the lives of the poor.

@Greybare going to need to hear what Democrat reactions were to one person's proposal and will also have to look up the specifics later. Once a child is born if the parent doesn't want it it should go for adoption. I suspect something went wrong in messaging or maybe that governor isn't very smart.

@ViciDraco before there is universal health care there was universal health care its just that the on income ones got health care and the hospitol and county and state payed for them, that was bad if you had a low income state or a high imigrant state so the plane to shift it to the fed gov so the poorly managed states can save and the fed gov lose, then the states go back and call for more imigrants so they can get there vote its a bad ride to be on
