Is slavery a personal choice? No, it is completely wrong. Some things are completely wrong. Killing kids because of convenience is 100% wrong. I am not saying that for a ridiculous reason having to do with souls or angels or gods or jesus or any other fairy tale nonsense. No woman has the right to kill a healthy child because it is inconvenient.

Now, as I said, if there is a legitimate medical reason to terminate a pregnancy, that is a decision for a medical professional. That is not something to be legislated.

There may be a flaw in your reasoning.

So now first trimester fetuses are "children"?

Gotcha.

Well, except for that time a little over a month ago when a Texas woman was indicted for having a self-induced abortion.  So, yeah?

I never said I didn't agree with you about it being wrong. I said this has nothing to do with that. It's about personal rights and choice. I think pickled beets are disgusting, but I don't have the right to impose my beliefs on someone else because I think they're disgusting. Personally, I am anti-abortion, but it's not about me and my beliefs. It's about choice.

Gotcha.

This is the openly stated end-game.  Fetal personhood.  So, it is NOT left to the states.  The next step is either holding just that, that all fetuses are persons, and therefore entitled to all legal protections, OR allowing a law so that when a citizen of Texas travels to California for an abortion, it is deemed by Texas to be illegal travel for the purpose of homicide, and they are arrested as soon as their plane lands back in Texas.

This isn't a "let the states decide" issue.  It never was.  Anyone who says that is lying to you, because enough of them have been honest enough to tell us the truth.  And remember, just as they tell you, "Brown v. Board of Education" is next.

You beg the question--you presuppose that what is being aborted is a "child" or a "kid."  Really, you presuppose that something that is nonviable is even capable of being "killed."

A clump of cells the size of a sunflower seed is not "a healthy child."  Just overwhelmingly absurd framing. And no person has a right to use another person's body for its survival, right?  Where exactly is that found in the constitution?  I may need a kidney transplant later in life, can I just decide to take someone else's kidney to support me staying alive? No? Oh I see.

 a fetus is not a "healthy child" or a "kid". It's a fetus. Unless you're of the opinion that every fertilized egg in an IVF facility should actually be considered a "person" for census and voting apportionments?

Why would you not throw in jail (if not execute) a woman who has procured an abortion if you believe abortion is murder?  I've never understood that position.

Correct.  It is the only sane and logical outcome.  If a fetus = a baby after birth, then a woman hiring out an abortion is no different than a woman engaging a hitman to smother her baby in the crib.  She should face the death penalty for such a heinous crime.  Logical consistency dictates no lesser result.

What about rape / incest? Isn't "killing a kid" wrong regardless of the means of conception? And if "killing a kid" is wrong, how is defensible to not be on the front line trying to kill nurses and doctors? Should you not be trying to physically stop them with all of your might if they are killing kids?

It would be a monstrous crime.  No different than a mother throwing her newborn into the dumpster.  Deep down though, I don't think many people really buy that shit.  Not even the Sacks of the world.  If they did there would be much more violence directed against providers.

Well, I'm sick of half measures.  I don't understand why our legislature is so gutless and cowardly that they will not make infanticide a capital offense.  We must protect our babies (which includes all the way back to zygote phase).  Our Texas government's failure to protect the most vulnerable among us with the strongest possible criminal penalties is a moral failing that I can neither forgive, nor forget.  I will not vote for an candidate for office in Texas who does not take the proper moral stand and support the death penalty for a woman who aborts and murders her baby.

It's not much more complicated than that.  if you want to take a stand, then fucking TAKE it.  Otherwise, you're a fucking coward.

Being nonviable outside the womb is completely different than going inside the womb to kill a fetus.  It's clearly viable life being killed in the situations worth discussing.

The pertinent question is a matter of personhood, or how much that life has value, if any.

One question for you: is the source of individual rights only an express grant of a right in the plain language of the Constitution? Asked more plainly, is the Constitution the sole font that grants individual rights, and there are no rights of the individual other than those expressly enumerated therein?

For legal rights no I don't think the constitution is the sole font, they can be spelled out by lesser laws than the constitution. I don't think a legal right can exist unless spelled out by a law. As I said in above post I think in this case an attempt was made to build a house on sand.

For rights in more absolute sense ('God-given', 'moral', 'natural' rights etc.) I have no idea where they come from or even if they are real. Like most everyone I act and think as if they are.

There are 10+ pages of outrage and analysis about the substance.  Frankly, I showed up to read the latter from the actual lawyers as I haven't had a chance to read the opinion in full and unfortunately there isn't going to be a Daily Texan thread on this topic (where overly emotional constant state of rage posters like you and others are less likely to dictate what opinions are and are not appropriate). 

There are a shitload of people who think because I have certain parts I am not entitled to have autonomy over my body.  You are goddamned right I am angry and full of rage.

That has been decided in Texas -- we've already banned all abortion (to become effective 30 days after this opinion is formally released).

My question is why the leaders of Texas are such moral cowards and refuse to use our laws to fully protect the most vulnerable?  We should execute all women who would hire a hitman to kill their baby.  I can think of no more heinous crime.  Any politician who refuses to take that stand is morally unfit to hold office.  Won't you stand with me in demanding courage from our leaders?

Cool.  So, rights of the individual come from the government.  That's the shorthand version of your answer.  We have only those rights our masters choose to grant us.  Cool.

The GOP has not moved its position on abortion.  It's always been against Roe.

Do you stand with me in supporting legislation making the act of a mother hiring a hitman to murder her child a capital offense?   Only a sick bastard who supports letting women get away with murder-for-hire of their own children would oppose that.  Don't you agree?

It was completely serious.

I get why the justices like to keep things secret, because it insulates them from attention and accountability. But I don't see why I, as an American citizen, should consider that a good thing.

And that's fair.  Because @Johnny Sack doesn't care about "life"--he's not a vegetarian.  He only purportedly cares about human life.

But as to "going inside the womb to kill," I suppose that depends a lot on what method we're talking about.  If it is a pharmaceutical abortion, then nobody is going inside anywhere.  It's just that the nonviable fetus is expelled.  And being expelled from its shelter, the nonviable fetus cannot survive (which kind of makes it materially distinguishable from a human).

And Johnny should love that.  After all, we all know how much he hates the homeless.

Just absolutely reprehensible and sub-human that in the year 2022 we are literally citing jurists who executed "witches" and opined that a woman's pussy was her husband's property for input on women's rights today. Fuck everyone in the face who even tries to justify that horseshit. Un-American cave-dwelling scum. 

Roe does also.  Most substantive due process cases will cite Hale, Coke, Blackstone, etc al.  Because ECL is where historical support for various unenumerated rights come from.
