Healthy pregnancies should not be terminated and I’m sick of pretending they should.

Unfortunately we’re not allowed to tell people to take some responsibility these days. Use a condom? Birth control? Maybe not get knocked up by an abusive guy? HOW DARE YOU?! But murdering an unborn child is socially acceptable. Hell, it’s considered downright heroic.

If there’s severe birth defects, I get it. There is mercy in preventing suffering. But killing healthy babies is deranged.

The problem with that notion is that we have a rapidly expanding treatment for severe diseases. HIV was a horrid death sentence 30 years ago and have now been reduced to “flu like symptoms” for many. There are multiple childbirth defects that would have been death sentences a decade ago that no longer is the case.

There are plenty of birth defects that have no chance of ever being cured, no matter how Star Trek things get. Neural tube defects that prevent the brain from developing properly, for example. If a baby is born without most of its brain, it's going to live, at most, a couple years of constant misery that it's not conscious enough to even comprehend. There is no curing that.

😂😂😂😂😂, that’s literally just a diagnostic issue, we already have a solution for that it just requires the ability to diagnose at a reasonable cost. Also there’s already been a kid born with only a brain stem that made it to 9 years old.

Okay, to what end? A person with only a brain stem is basically a plant. A plant that has multiple seizures a day. No thoughts, no personality, no possibility of ever doing anything but lay there, ever, no matter what. Is allowing that sort of existence to persist for nine years a good thing? I'd argue it is not.

I don't know what you mean by "a diagnostic issue". Anencephaly or iniencephaly are not curable or treatable no matter how early you diagnose it. I'm not talking about relatively minor issues like spina bifida or encephalocele.

And from every child who survives with either shows the frailty of your argument. I will once again resort to how many children survived what at the time was considered unsurpassable odds and lived. You can keep yelling insurmountable odds, yet funnily enough that changes on a yearly basis because of the progress of understanding the disease and working toward a solution.

Inmates spend longer than that on death row. Barely surviving 9 years is still a death sentence.

No shit Sherlock, so is child cancer, the point is would you rather have the chance to live and survive despite all odds or not?

After inducing her miscarriage, Burgess and her mother, Jessica Burgess, 42, buried, exhumed, and reburied the fetal remains twice, attempting to burn them after the second exhumation, according to a report in Today. They buried the remains a third time with the help of a friend, who later pled no contest to charges of attempting to conceal a death.

Since the overturning of Roe v. Wade, many states — including Nebraska — have either banned or placed strict limitations on abortion access. Abortion is now illegal in Nebraska after 12 weeks of pregnancy, although at the time Burgess was pregnant, abortion access was legal up to 20 weeks gestation.

And Today reports Burgess discussed her miscarriage with a coworker, adding that she needed to “dig the body up and burn the baby’s body,"

The teen has been sentenced to 90 days in jail with 24 months of probation, and court records show she is currently an inmate at Madison County Jail. With good behavior, she may be released after 53 days.

Jessica Burgess has pleaded guilty to providing an abortion after 20 weeks, false reporting, and tampering with human skeletal remains. She faces up to five years in prison, and is due to be sentenced in September.

That’s it’s, 90 days for the daughter, maybe 5 years for the mom for murder, attempting to hide a body, desecrating the remains repeatedly. This is textbook first degree murder if a man did this….

So she couldn't make up her mind in 20 weeks?! It's shit like this that pushed me the other way. I used to be ok with a compromise to allow early term abortions if they'd have just shut up about abortion and taken that. But no, they want to kill it all the way up to when it's halfway out of the birth canal. So fuck em, no exceptions, close your legs or pay the price, whores.

Oh, and stupid is as stupid does. How the hell you think it's fine to talk about illegal stuff on Facebook messages. hahahahahahahahaha

More egregious is that she or her mom can't drive a few hours to Minnesota or Iowa to get it done.

Don't get me that inconvenience bullshit, if your mother can help you burn a fetus and bury it thrice ya'll can cross state lines for a damn road trip. Hell, it cost like a hundo to fly anywhere in the damn country.

You can't ever compromise with people whose entire argument is about shirking responsibility. Because they will always want to drop more and more until they have none.

That's why all the softie plans for dealing with drugs and abortion fail.

It’s hard for me to have any sympathy. Dumb bitch knew she was pregnant and knew there was a ticking clock to get an abortion. Shit or get off the pot. Waiting until it was illegal and fucking even that up isn’t an excuse.

What’s disgusting is that 23 weeks is viable unilaterally, and that was determined in roe 50 years ago. This is flat out murder in the first degree with a pussy pass.

Good. If she'd strangled an infant after giving birth to it, that would be a criminal act. This is no different. Murder is murder.

Good. It's about time these entitled whores experience accountability for their actions. Usually they have to hit the wall before that happens.

Sooo... Was, like, Jupiter not in the right house or Pisces not in some waving gibbeon just three weeks prior when it would have been legal, or something?
