For starters, AMERICA doesn’t want this. The majority of the country wants abortion to be legal. What it really is is conservatives being able to control us through bizarre processes (like how the supreme court is appointed) that make it so they maintain control. But I’ve also really wondered, why? Pretty much every decision like this that seems to hurt people comes back to money, but I can’t quite find how that’s the case with this. But then just days after their ruling on roe v wade was released, there was another ruling that effectively disallows the EPA (environmental protection agency) from protecting dumping in waterways. Basically they handed that right to regulation back to the states as well. Now I see where the money is in THAT, yet no one was talking about it. It seems like they came up with a very detrimental distraction.

Because the economy can’t move on or prosper without a large population. Why do you think Japan, China and South Korea will have problems in the future, the country cannot sustain themselves without people.

I was on my own and afraid to talk to anyone about it.

@@n-0-1 I see from your other remarks that you are just an incendiary troll. However, to this specific comment: women need abortions and it has nothing to do with your views of their sexual proclivity. Pregnancy is a result of sexual activity, but forcing someone to endure pregnancy as a form of religious moral punishment is unnecessary and cruel. Sometimes a pregnancy will go awry and result in a fetal malformation or partial miscarriage and requires outside intervention in the form of abortion care to remove the remains from the woman before she becomes septic and dies. Sometimes the sexual activity was unwanted. And sometimes, the sexual activity resulted in a pregnancy that cannot be endured - for whatever reason. And that is the main crux of why privacy rights between a woman and her doctor should be upheld. random stranger on the streets may have a variety of opinions on whatever the pregnant woman chooses to do, but that random stranger should not get to interfere in the woman's right to medical care.

All those men transitioning into women will now not be able to abort their babies? How does that make any sense?

Disabled people as well. Let's not forget about them.

@@JenSell1626 I am not able to tell what argument you are making, but I can only assume that you are trying to argue that either women now aren't afforded "bodily autonomy" by the state, or that babies aren't human because they don't have full "biological autonomy." Before I explain why you are wrong in both ways, you must understand the difference between bodily autonomy and biological autonomy. Bodily autonomy is the ability to do what you want with your own body, whereas biological autonomy is the ability for a person (eg. a baby) to survive without assistance. Women have and always will have bodily autonomy, but it is highly regulated in various circumstances. For example, no person is allowed to use heroin recreationally. Although I would argue that women should have the ability to do anything they choose to their body, we must understand that a baby is not apart of her body. In fact, babies have different brain activity and consciousness, heartbeat patterns, digestive and nervous system, and often a different sex and blood type. Because it is both widely accepted and agreed in the science and medical community that a baby is an entirely different human from their mother, the mother should not have the choice or ability to do what she wants with the living human inside of her. To put this simply, a baby is an individual and human being with value and constitutional rights.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. God bless you. Where there's life there is hope. Do not give up.

Wait, are you saying that you wish your mother aborted you? And then you are also saying that you believe in god? That same god that will send you to hell for aborting your own children? Its pathetic that you would rather shift the moral obligation onto your own mother for having you. I feel sorry that you are in pain, but I feel even more sorry that you grew up with the idea that you should have been aborted and the only reason you weren't was due to your own mothers cowardice.

I feel the exact same way, my life has been an endless nightmare, my mother had an abortion and then had me out of religious guilt to make up for the aborted one. She didn't really want a child and was awful to me and told me every day I ruined her life. I don't understand why people who have something to live for get to die but I have to keep living. I don't want to hurt my Dad but after he's gone nothing will hold me back, then I'll do it myself.

@@c.w.8200 You need major mental health treatment. Your own guilt is making you value your life less then others. If your parents contributed to this idea that you caused only pain in their life, that is considered abuse in many countries.

@@n-0-1 the outcome of a miscarriage and an abortion are identical, so it can be hard to tell. someone could very easily be accused of getting an illegal abortion when they had a miscarriage. whether a state prosecutes the carrier or providers of illegal abortions, it won’t be the same from state to state.

@@pheonixrises11 The intention is very different between abortion and miscarriage. The intention of an abortion is the destruction and murder of an unborn baby, whereas the intention after a miscarriage is to remove the baby from the womb after it has died. In states where abortion is completely illegal, it is quite easy to determine if a baby has been removed after a miscarriage or aborted. This process is done by determining if the baby was dead before or had died during the removal process. A sick and disgusting fact about the abortion process is that the baby is ripped apart while alive and sentient, limb by limb. First, the babies skull is cracked open and the abortioner sucks the babies inner cavities into a tube. Reports on studies have shown that babies feel pain during this process. Similar to the three degrees of murder, they are each defined by various terms. 1.) Intention 2.) Deliberation and Premeditation 3.) Malice Aforethought Most abortions fall into the category of second degree murder on behalf of the mother, whereas all abortions fall under the third degree on behalf of the abortioner.

@@phantomkowai6621 Depends on what info you are talking about. Many of the statements that I make are more common sense than analytical.

It doesn’t affect you and no one is forcing you to rape. I don’t understand why you should take someone else’s rights away just because it goes against YOUR morals.

I think it’s hypocritical for someone to have the right listed in the amendments only to take away rights from other people. For the people who don’t want women’s education to be legal, just don’t give them education. It doesn’t affect you and the all women in this world can make babies that you don’t care about nor consider at risk for being put under the poverty line due to financial struggles the mother might face. I don’t understand why you should take someone else’s rights away just because you don’t care about their current situation. Not everyone is born in a privileged world, not everyone will have the money to care for a child nor even the health to do so. Complications can kill the mother, that’s just another life you’re taking.

This is absolutely true. For 50 years, babies in the wombs of their mothers were not afforded the same rights as everyone else. Even though Roe v Wade was reversed, states like California still believe that babies don't deserve rights. The "certain groups" are none other than the people who have not been birthed.

Thanks for sticking with us ♥

It is an argument that pro choicers make. But the anti choice crowd don't see it that way. As far as anti choicers are concerned, if you don't want to get pregnant you shouldnt have sex, if you have safe sex you are still taking on the risk of pregnancy. And since you took that risk you should be willing to "pay for the consequences" and not expect the state support your bad judgement call. In the end, this is all about punishing women for having sex.

No, women make the choice to have irresponsible sex. Therefore, it is not the states problem to raise their children.

@@n-0-1 So women choose to be victims of sexual assault, incest and pregnancy that threatens the lives of both mother and child in your reality? I thought this reality was messed up...

@@CWargh63 Don't twist my words, you know for a fact that I didn't say that. Obviously, women who are victims of these crimes deserve justice and financial support by the state. Also, women who are raped are often able to sue their rapist which would help them financially during their pregnancy. Unfortunately, no amount of money can be given to fix these kinds of rare but unforgivable crimes. Although I personally believe that life begins at conception, victims of rape should still have the right to stop the progress of early pregnancy, such as with the use of PlanB. PlanB isn't necessarily considered abortion due to it only working during early reproductive processes. With that being said, abortion will never be a substitute for contraceptive and abstinence. Aborting the baby during cases of rape and incest is not justified because the baby is still a human being with intrinsic value and constitutional rights. In rare cases of Ectopic pregnancy, the baby would likely never survive during the development process and would likely kill the mother. In that case, doctors would work to both save the mother and the baby. Abortion isn't always necessary and is often misunderstood. Premature delivery shouldn't be conflated with abortion, because the baby would have never survived in the first place.

@@TheEmmaHouli It is not about punishing women. In fact, most people, even on the far right agree that only business such as Planned Parenthood that prey on women for abortions would be criminally charged. Everyone forgets about the rights of the baby, because they are too focused on preventing any inconveniences that the mother may face. Never forget; the baby has constitutional rights and intrinsic human value that shall never be undermined regardless of its age, level of consciousness, financial status, or conditions.

"Even the animals you pay to be killed have more of a desire to live and be happy." - This depends on what animal you are talking about and why it was killed, or the intent.

We as humans value human life more than other animal species and plants, which is a major reason why the human race is so strong. "By your metric a sperm cell has the desire to live and be happy" - "Sperm cells cannot divide." Also, sperm cells have a single purpose, which is to inject genetic material into the unfertilized egg.

@@n-0-1 sure, call it murder, but you can’t consider yourself a good person for outlawing it altogether. a person can think abortion is morally bad and still not advocate for it becoming illegal, and here’s why: while the minority, there will always be cases of people whose lives are endangered by a pregnancy, and making abortion illegal will result in deaths. also, making abortion doesn’t address *why* they happen. if we don’t attack the source, how can we say we’re solving the problem? making abortions illegal will only increase illegal and unsafe abortions. we need to educate people and make contraceptives more accessible. there is a lot of misconceptions about how pregnancy happens that are still floating around, there are schools that think telling horny teens “abstinence only” is enough(even though many will be more influenced by their personal beliefs and peer pressure, rather than a teacher as to whether they will choose to have sex), rather than explaining pregnancy and how to use contraceptives properly. how can we say people need to hold responsibility for their own actions when our education system is as garbage as it is? not only that, but can you say you are good if you tell someone with an issue that it is their problem to deal with and not offer any help? many people affected by abortions becoming illegal will be poor. give more money and support(daycares, baby products, etc) and that will also reduce abortion. rich people will continue to have abortions!!! they may say that they’re anti-abortion, but they only say that to be viewed positively by certain groups of people. they don’t care about morality, they kick the poor while they’re down and want you to vote in their favor. CONCLUSION(for if you want to skip the paragraphs above): I think it is drastic an unsympathetic to make abortions illegal with the state of the country as it is now. healthcare is abysmal, as well as the education system. If you want to help people and unborn babies, you have to offer help, rather than seeking to punish those you deem as bad. maybe there’s a future for countrywide banning of abortion, but it is too soon and it will be too hurtful to do so now.

It not only stems from religious beliefs but also as a way to punish and oppress people with reproductive systems by forcing them to carry and give birth. Democrats and Republicans actually have more in common, both are the same except democrats like to pretend they're progressive whilst actively not doing anything against laws that oppress and harm minorities groups.

@@n-0-1 the baby is very much part of the mother's body as it lives off her and cannot sustain itself outside of her.

@@nnuu7618 It is physically attached to her but not apart if her body. Your argument is flawed because that baby is still human and has rights regardless of it is attached to the mother.

Late term abortions only really happen for medical reasons, wherein the foetus is unlikely to survive or will cause harm to the birth parent. But I see what you’re saying! Might just be easier to try to compromise so at least we get somewhere

The description explains what happened

Technically, more post birth services to compensate women for essentially being forced to take care of a baby that wasn't planned(about 50% of the U.S.) would help balance out the injustice of overturning R v. W. HOWEVER, that's not likely to happen... so it'll continue to be a great injustice! P.s. your response isn't needed. My comment is nearly rhetorical anyway. 😏

Kinda reminds me of the George Carlin joke on Nimby.

@@megamanx466 true

Yes, so pro-lifers saying they care about babies should make laws that cover childbirth, family leave, early pediatric care, and funding for stuff like daycares, there should also be more funding for schools. Instead they want to force people to carry babies they don't want to term (or until it kills the carrier) and then don't care what happens after that. Even in a world were the government helps pregnant people and helps the baby through its first few years at life, some abortions would still be needed, such as for if someone is raped, if its discovered the baby is missing vital organs and will die the moment its born, for people who can get pregnant but can't safely bring a pregnancy to term, or if the pregnant person gets sick but is not allowed to start treatment while pregnant.

Too bad the people who are banning abortions are also opposed to all those things. Abortion is a perfectly good solution to many problems: including a rape pregnancy, an ectopic pregnancy, people who need cancer treatment, people who can’t carry a pregnancy to term safely, people who have miscarried but not delivered the miscarry fetus, and people who don’t want to be pregnant at that time in their lives.

As a Latina I can say with confidence that I and all my Latin friends and family have never thought to be insulted by non Latin people dancing salsa. There is a difference between appropriating and appreciating. Most people view salsa as a fun and sexy dance, so if they want to enjoy it but aren't Latin, what's the problem? It's not like they're bashing on salsa and saying it's a stupid dance from a stupid culture. Just be glad that most Latinos don't get offended by "appropriation" of our culture, because then we could argue that avocados and chocolate should belong and be eaten only by us since they originated in Mexico.

@@adw5111Okay if you say if you see that they are appreciating your culture So people that have Latin America origin in the culture for you watching this movie it’s appreciating and what about the inclusion it doesn’t matter to you?! For example I have an AfricanOrigin and if someone that is not from my Heritage that practice the dance move from my background I probably will feel offended if they don’t include people from my origin and my rootsSometimes you have people when they will use someone’s culture to make it all about them this is why it’s important to acknowledge peoples culture They can appreciate they just need to acknowledgeAnd they need to give some credit to peoples culture

You didn't see people from other races learning these dances in Dirty Dancing because it is a period piece set in the Catskills in the sixties. Resorts like the one in the film really existed, and they basically catered to rich white people. The class divide between the guests and the staff is the main thrust of the story. Just because Penny is white doesn't mean abortion has only ever been a problem for white women- if that's the message you got from this film I suggest you watch it again, more carefully this time.

@@kareytanner Oh okay I don’t need to watch the movie now I rememberIn the movie Dirty Dancing baby and Jonny they came from two different world separate apart because of the difference baby she came from wealth so she is privilege and Jonny he came from a non-wealthy privilege life so he was the poorest White guy since she fell in love with himShe didn’t care what he was if he wasn’t in her level but the problem is I remember I just saw two black couples dancing but they were not the main character in the movie it was just some scene with two black couples dancing I don’t know if they were a couple but there wasn’t enough explanation in the Dirty Dancing movie I couldn’t say that the movie Did not want to have any inclusion to other races of people it was just the story of the movie no one could imagine a baby had to fall in love with someone that came from Latin America who was Hispanic that comes from Argentina or from Brazil or Puerto Rico whatever country I love interest would’ve been if it wasn’t White or it could be that I love interest would have been someone that has Latin American roots That has Latino origin

@@kareytanner and I also want to say that the movie just ended so quick I didn’t feel like there was enough storyline to know everything about the characters they just fall in love Jonny just taught her Jonny was just the dance teacher in the beginning and they fell in love and he taught her how to the Dances a lot of chemistry That was at the end of the movie they lived happily ever after just like a fairytale similar OG movie to Greece lightning

Its a reupload smartie

Likely youtube itself seeing as spam or during a reupload. KZfaq tos many don't read it. Capitalism and laws many are mot educated or really care to be. Sovereign citizens are " just traveling" tsk tsk.

@@Chamelionroses comment was after the reupload, quite a few people supported protecting babies in the womb

Talking on rape... there is still legalized forced (consent of age) child marriage. It is a state to state thing rather than federal law on such. There is some odd laws on the books over contraceptives being illegal at one point or ignored to other laws too. Guess we will have to see what happens in the democratic republic of the US next.

Bad Joke: ask the catholic church or Warren Jeffs...?

“Instant gratification” moment? The fact that you believe you have the right to judge the "quality" of any circumstance leading to pregnancy tells me a lot more about you than about anyone else. OddZero already discussed forced marriage and obstacles to accessing contraceptives (but forgot to mention that beside localized regulation-based obstacles, there is a significant poverty barrier there as well, related both to access and education). 81 percent of American women reported experiencing sexual assault in their lifetime. Every two out of three rapes go unreported (in the case of sexual assault on children, only 12 - read that again - 12 percent is reported), which means that as a reason for abortion sexual assault is horrifically under-reported. Please keep in mind that even the numbers I quoted are based on people who were willing to admit to being assaulted; not everyone is. There is also the factor that culturally, our society is messed up enough to have convinced women (and men and everyone else) that some forms of rape are actually not rape, such as marital rape, passed-out rape, rape when clear "no" was not stated, rape without a physical fight, rape without physical violence, etc. The number you're looking for is insignificant because it's inaccurate. Grossly. As for that incessant bible-thumping rape vs you play - you pay nonsense, get a grip. It's not your place to judge. Ever. Your judgement can only apply to you because not everyone else has to share your values. We don't have an obligation to live our lives the way you'd like us to. If you need guidance on that, I advise you to consult the bible. It has some things to say on the topic of tolerance and acceptance, unless you're an old testament hate-monger. Moreover, it's naive to believe that anyone, and I do mean anyone, has repeated "instant gratification moments" that lead to pregnancy and just have an abortion because it's so easy. It's not. It's a taxing decision that's undertaken by people who see it as the best solution in their given situation. It's hard to access for a large number of people, it's costly (in terms of actual price, travel, time off, etc.), it's stigmatized by people who think it's a "lifestyle choice", and it takes a psychological toll. Nonetheless, 5 years after, 95 percent of people who had an abortion say it was the right choice for them - that should tell you that's it's a decision not taken easily or thoughtlessly. As someone who's currently watching women dying needlessly in a neighboring state that introduced such ridiculous abortion laws doctors don't even perform medically-indicated abortions where the fetuses are dead or dying because they fear being sent to prison, I have little tolerance for your suggestion that abortion can ever be split into those resulting from rape vs. those caused by “instant gratification” moments. As if the latter was even a thing, and if it were - as if the two were the only possible reasons for needing an abortion. And it's always a need. It's good you're not too far gone to understand that rape victims/survivors should not be forced into a resulting pregnancy but it also means you're woefully under-informed or a well-intentioned bigot. Either one needs fixing.

@@anniikka there will always be people that have more knowledge or education on certain subjects than I do. I’m ok with that. It is why I asked the question about rape statistics (because that is how you get a conversation started). What I’m not ok with is being called names or put down because you don’t agree or are triggered by something that I said. As to your information listed, I don’t disagree that many things are not reported and you do make a good point about some laws being in place (or lack of law) because I was born and raised in a state where law of consent is 18, and I don’t know more than 2 people over thousands that I have encountered throughout my decades on this earth to have abided by that law. On the flip side, I have to question (with a lot of empathy and patience) who is telling the truth nowadays. That is the worst thing to be wrong about and yet when money gets involved; I have seen people change who they are, what the believe, and what they say to get what they want. This is not an easy topic but one that should be discussed. I would love to keep communicating as long as you can refrain from the unnecessary name calling that doesn’t suit my character. Thanks

@@kmwilkerson04 I understand your point but, in my decades of existence, I have encountered way too many people of gentle tone and demeanor with the same attitude of judgement, especially when it comes to trusting women, and I developed very low tolerance as a result. And I do admit I did call you out in less than respectful terms. On the point of whose accounts are or are not truthful, I have to disagree. There is no benefit to reporting assault, to police or anyone else. In litigation, victims/survivors are seldom successful, both in criminal and civil court, and the idea of financial benefit is a mirage. It's like saying cancer just disappears every time because your ______ (insert person) was diagnosed with cancer and it just disappeared on its own. Does it happen? Yes. Is it true for the majority of victims/survivors? Sigh. In reporting assault, men subjected to it usually report even less frequently than women, yet their veracity does not get questioned as often (though their masculinity does, go figure). The simple truth of the matter is that we, as civilians, have no way of establishing whether anyone is or is not lying and we shouldn't be trying to because it's simply not possible. Generally, the only course of action is waiting for a verdict of the justice system, but I've discussed how well that works. That is why victims of more prominent offenders turn to the court of public opinion, and sometimes get shut up by being paid off without any admission of guilt by the offender. They accept not because they're greedy but because it's the only form of justice they will ever get. If you are truly curious and have been sheltered enough not to be exposed to just how ugly this all gets, Kate Harding's Asking for It is a good starting point. If you can stomach it.

So I don't know about your friend, but vegetarians usually eat eggs just fine. Vegans never do. Now, the reason why vegans don't eat eggs is not because the eggs would become cute little baby chicken. Commercially sold eggs aren't even fertilized. It's because of the way egg-laying hens in commercial farms are raised and kept as egg machines without being properly cared for. So when you think about it, it makes total sense to be against eating eggs as well as being pro-choice; it all comes down to the hens as well as the pregnant women having autonomy over their own lives and bodies.

@@radurte I don't understand vegan and vegetarian I'm just saying what my friend said, but I'm lost with your comment, how is eggs being kept in bad condition have to do with being pro- abortion, because let's be real everyone is pro-choice the word is misleading to make pro-life look like dictators, it's about pro-life vs pro-abortion in the end of the day everyone does what they want legally or illegally. But can you explain the correlation between lack of good conditionnement of chicken fetus and the fact that human fetus should not bee seen as living being. I'm genuinely curious

im ex vegan and thats ridiculous, most vegans refused to eat eggs because the inhumane condition the chickens keep in. And abortion is the right way, if you want a child that much, adopt.

Because first some rapist will ask the woman before raping her if she takes the anti-baby-pill regulary. And second because all contraceptives come with a Statistik, how likely they are to fail.

Uses of contraceptives aren't always 100% guaranteed to prevent pregnancies.

Contraceptives aren't 100% effective so even people on the pill and using condoms get pregnant, nor do people use contraceptives when they are being raped. Also some people who originally planned on getting pregnant sometimes still need abortions such as for if its discovered the baby is missing vital organs and will die the moment its born, for people who can get pregnant but can't safely bring a pregnancy to term, if their financial or housing situation has changed, or if the pregnant person gets sick but is not allowed to start treatment while pregnant.

@@nnuu7618 When multiple forms of contraceptive are used it is almost impossible to have a child. You are delusional. Its sad you how think the only solution to an unwanted pregnancy is murder.

@@nnuu7618 most unplaned pregnancy exist because of lack of cpntraception or an incorrect usage though.
