- triceratops 4y agoThen why didn't they ever try for a federal abortion ban when they had control of Congress and the presidency? "Murder" isn't suddenly ok just because it happens in another state, right?
- somehnguy 4y agoYup. We all know it’s just a cover to push their religious beliefs on people.
- esyir 4y agoI said analogous, not identical. Clearly they see it as bad, but not nearly as bad as murder. If it was literally mass murder to them, I'd expect more bombs and riots, and less "campaign against it for 50 years to repeal it".
- triceratops 4y agoIf it's "somewhat less than murder" all these states with anti-abortion laws would have carve outs when the mother's life is in danger. You'd definitely allow someone else to commit an evil act that's "less than murder" to save a person's life, wouldn't you?
- somehnguy 4y agoOnly while they’re in the womb though, once they’re out they’re on their own. I would argue that denying a woman with pregnancy complications a lifesaving procedure is *way* more analogous to murder than abortion.
