Reply #3: "abstinence" - "late term abortions" [View All]

[WyLoochka]

These are right wing positions you say you will go along with, not moderate.

Moderates favor education for minors, not the with holding of education. Abstinence is theocratic right wing. I would imagine almost every parent teaches her/his children abstinence. The focus is already on abstinence. Some parents are equipped to actually educate their children on these matters. Many are not. Schools should educate. Only theocratic right wingers think they shouldn't.

Late term abortions aren't performed in any statistically significant numbers. And when they are, they are performed for real medical reasons, not simply "oh, now I have decided, after carrying this child for 6-8 months, I don't want to go through labor afterall." Doesn't happen. They are way too risky to a woman's overall chance of survival to be employed casually. So doctors will not do them unless absolutely necessary.

We don't need legislators to intrude on the doctors' bona fide turf and make a law altogether banning late term abortions. A ban on them is a right wing way to get a foot in the door to later banning all abortions. It's yet another one of their "Trojan Horses."

If legislators, can interfere in the privacy of the doctor-patient relationship and strip doctors of their right to perscribe what is is best for their patients in the third term, they can do it in the second and finally, at long last, in the first term too. That is the goal.

Nope - not supportive of "abstinence only" sex education and not supportive of legislating a ban on late term abortions. Both are entirely unneccessary and do not need to be codified, especially since there are ulterior motives, driven by the right wing theocrats - not moderates, in codifying them.
