This makes no sense whatsoever. If the baby dies in utero, the procedure to remove it isn't an abortion.TexasScientist said:..............I know of a couple whose baby died at 21 weeks. She had to have an abortion for her health. Her doctor will no longer perform that procedure under the same circumstances - due to the poorly written law here in Texas, and now due to Paxton's overzealous prosecutorial mindset.Wangchung said:Islam is a merely a made up religion created by a conman who lifted passages from Judaism in order to try and give his creation legitimacy. That in no way equates with Christianity and Judaism any more than Mormons do and it certainly doesn't condemn Christian nations due to the actions of Muslims nations, as you're attempting here.TexasScientist said:Islam is an Abrahamic patriarchal religion as is Judaism, and Christianity as an extension of Judaism. The problem is there is no distinction in the procedure, therefore doctors are afraid to perform one, the way the law is written. Also, there are circumstances where an abortion is needed due to viability and health of the mother. You end up with situations like we have now with women who need and abortion, and can't get one, because of overreaching, poorly crafted and written law; leading to situations where an over zealous prosecutor charges a woman for a miscarriage.Wangchung said:Yes, I freely admit your ridiculous attempt to claim Islam is the same as Christianity therefor Christian nations are evil patriarchies is not in any way bolstered by your claim of being pro-life. Procedures removing dead babies are not abortions.TexasScientist said:Thanks for your admission.Wangchung said:Claiming to be pro-life doesn't make your post less nonsensical.TexasScientist said:UAE, Iran, Saudi Arabia ... when you consider the are Abrahamic religions. You could even argue the state laws in Texas regarding abortion rights are patriarchal by extension. (I'm pro-life before you go down that rabbit hole)Redbrickbear said:Waco1947 said:TS said "Biblical patriarchy, which is what you're advocating, if enforced upon women is abusive in and of itself." Biblically, it means it was baked into the system. Women are not 2nd class citizens because in the reign of God all are equal.Redbrickbear said:TexasScientist said:And???? Some men have. And, some men have physically, and psychologically abused, and even abandoned their women and children or worse...Redbrickbear said:
"Men have sacrificed and crippled themselves physically and emotionally to feed, house, and protect women and children. None of their pain or achievement is registered in feminist rhetoric, which portrays men as oppressive and callous exploiters."
-Camille Paglia
Sure,
But what do you think is the ratio is of men in history that have used their physical strength to abuse their wives and kids vs sacrificed and work endlessly to take care of them?
Patriarchal societies have survived for thousands of years…not because they brutally oppressed women and children….but because they provided protection and security and allowed the family (and thus the civilization) to flourish.
1. What government is forcing biblical patriarchy on women today in 2023? If anything our current society and government is anti-biblical patriarchy.
2. How would you enforce your own notions of "equality"?
3. How would we even determine when "equality" was achieved?
Removing dead humans from the womb is not an abortion. Period. There is nothing to abort. There is no pregnancy if the child is dead. People who pretend otherwise are trying to demonize those who want to stop the abortions that make up the VAST majority of all baby killings; abortions based on the mere whims of the mother.
If that doctor truly thinks the Texas law is so poorly worded that it even puts him/her at risk for prosecution for removing dead fetuses, then what you've got is a very stupid doctor. And it doesn't say much for you too, if you really couldn't understand this for yourself.
