A year ago

It's been a year since Kansas voted no on a constitutional amendment to remove constitutional protections for abortion from the state constitution. I was looking back through some old news stories and they were talking about how the people of Kansas wanted to keep access to abortion, but I'm not sure that was the driving force for everybody. For me, abortion was sort of secondary. The main reason I voted against it was because past experience has taught me that our elected officials aren't smart enough to be entrusted with that kind of power.

In missouri, we had the other scenario. We put severe restrictions on abortion. But none of the scare scenarios that the pro abortion lobby said would happen, actually happened.

 I remember one in particular, they said, hospitals would not be able to perform a DNC on a miscarried baby.

My daughter had a miscarriage this week. She was still able to have the DNC, if she wanted it.

what kind of 'power'?

Every poll except ones funded by planned abortion hood say the same thing; the majority of Americans are NOT for a free for all abortion policy. Most are for them if the life of the mother is in danger or in the less than 3% of abortions performed scenarios; rape or incest.

Roe v. Wade was a BAD ruling. No two ways about it. It always was and always should be a state's rights issue. Besides that, Congress has FIFTY PLUS YEARS to deal with it mostly correctly, And they did nothing but March it out for political fodder/theater. 

Regardless of that matter, abortion has been government sanctioned genocide. Over 22,000,000 African American children killed buy Margaret Sanger... the eugenics policy.

what kind of 'power'?

To make life and death decisions like banning abortion for any reason, including rape, incest and life of the mother. It was an amendment to the state constitution that would explicitly give that power to the state legislature. There is very little I trust the elected officials of this state with; I surely don't trust them with that.

Abortion is already strictly regulated here.

Hmmm. Seems like the gastly abortionist are the ones welding the power of life and death of the most vulnerable. But I guess I'm just weird.

[mowens]

Yeah, I guess.

[mkd]

....the racist origins of abortion.
We could show the same for the documented racist origins of gun control in this country.

[mkd]

Abortion and gun control are the last vestige of systemic racism in America.

Change my mind.

[mkd]

Don't even need to go back to to that racist Margaret Sanger.
 Look at a modern DEMOCRAT governor.
He's a racist abortionist, waxed poetic on slitting the throat of a newborn while making the 'mother' comfortable.
 Yeah, I guess I'm the weird one. 😳

I'm pretty sure that the only way to change your mind is with a traumatic brain injury.

[mowens]

Abortion and gun control are the last vestige of systemic racism in America.

Change my mind.

Why?

[CNCAppsJames]

Why?

THE strictest gun control policies in the nation are enacted in areas dominated (in number) by people of color. The highest rates of government sanctioned murder :cough: abortion :cough: take place in these same areas.

[mowens]

I meant why would I want to change his mind? We all have our own opinions.
