Never happen. On the other hand, birth control on demand for the ones who otherwise give birth is one of the most revolutionary changes of the 20th century, and there is precious little discussion about it. But it is certainly a big contributor to the world-wide decline in birthrates in high and middle-income countries, that has put dozens of countries in the 'below replacement' birthrate category.

But, the whole Roe V Wade ruling made no sense because you really have to make bizarre mental contortions to find a right to abortion in the constitution.

It is just not in there. Pro or con.
Elected leaders need to make laws.

Some circuit court judge can determine that termination after conception is technically abortion.
But, seems meaningless in most states that don't prohibit abortion for several weeks at least.


North Carolina where I live has a Republican Legislature with a veto proof majority and we have 20 weeks to figure out what you want to do. Nothing has changed.
My point was just to respond to the assertion that abortion pills have had a huge impact on birthrate. They have not. The other pills have.

OK. I see Desantis signed a bill to limit abortion to six weeks.

Hell, some women normally may go six weeks between periods occasionally.

I think that is a little extreme. I also think an abortion the day before or during birth is extreme.

I think 15 to 20 weeks is a balance probably 80% of the population can deal with. Less the fanatics on both sides.

Family planning and birth control is what has impacted the birthrate.

In India, population increase became unmanageable until the education level improved. Today in cities, families in educated households, hard pressed to find more than two children, concept being 'replacing ourselves'.

Also the SCOTUS stayed 5th Court of Appeals and for now the two pills are legal till this Wednesday. The Catholic Court while repealing Roe vs. Wade, kicked the abortion controversy to the states and now its back in the court since this involves the FDA, a federal matter.

Third trimester abortions are only done when the mothers life is threatened AND the fetus is not viable. When the fetus is viable it will be delivered surgically, not aborted.

"I also think an abortion the day before or during birth is extreme."

As usual, he is rabble rousing. Abortions after 20 weeks are extremely rare and usually due to medical reasons, not a yea/nay choice by the women.

Said nothing about the reason why, just a period society might agree on.

Anti-abortionists would have people believe that there are abortion doctors out there murdering babies at birth.

So, when confronted with your shitfilled lie you dissemble with some lame excuse. You really haven't changed one bit after getting a new lease on life, Robbie m'lad.
