What does this mean? Well, it does mean that there’s little reason to abort a child to save the life of a mother after it’s possible to deliver them alive, unless it is impossible to deliver either vaginally or surgically. (I don’t know any circumstances were that to occur, unless maybe the mother is a major hemophiliac.) It means the child can live without being biologically tethered to the mother.

There is no mystery in sex and conception, the Pro-Choice ethical religion denies women and men’s dignity and agency, and reduces human life to negotiable commodities.

That said, a woman and man have four choices: sex or abstinence, contraception in depth, adoption (i.e. shared/shifted responsibility), and compassion (i.e. shared/personal responsibility), and an equal right to self-defense through reconciliation. American culture does not tolerate either slavery (e.g. conception without consent to sex) or diversity [dogma] (e.g. sexism, ageism).

Roe’s regrets. Ruth’s remorse. Human rites in lieu of human and civil rights, performed for social, redistributive, clinical, political, and fair weather causes. Keep women affordable, available, and taxable, and the bodies of evidence aborted and sequestered in darkness, privacy.

Many thanks for quoting the actual words of the state constitution, the court decision, and the ballot measure.
I get so aggravated at news stories (aka opinion pieces) that appear to assume we know the total background of everything they write about — when they actually are pretty sure we don’t, and thus omit any information that would undercut their own narrative.

NPR is especially guilty, but all of the media has that fault.

And here I thought we were talking about elephants! 🙂

Will fix.

(Pregnancy does seem pretty long when you’re in it – but not THAT long.)

Before every abortion, a woman should have to watch a 4D ultrasound video of a baby being aborted.

Let her make a fully informed decision.

“It can be clearly demonstrated that fetuses seek to evade certain stimuli in a manner in which an infant or an adult would be interpreted as a reaction to pain.”
Richard T.F. Schmidt, MD, past President of the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

Here’s the scientific proof of fetal pain;

The right vote was a decided yes, given the baseless reasoning in the prior State SC decision.

There is also this frightening paradox:
Voters in Kansas were asked for their constitutional interpretation. Did voters agree with the Kansas court interpretation?

A Supreme Court decision must, as its highest priority, protect individuals from the “tyranny of the majority”. So, how does a majority vote protect an individual from the tyranny of the majority?

That was the main reason for the proposed constitutional amendment.
