Doctors with ethics would most certainly continue providing abortion services to women who need them, regardless of its illegality. Regardless, illegal backroom abortions would still continue, with or without doctors. So you would have the deaths of women who had failed abortions, the fetuses who claim to be murdered also dying in the process, and millions of others who would lose medical care as the doctors were rounded up. Sounds positively utopian in @Dayton's world.
Doctors with ethics would most certainly not be doing them now, despite their legality. Your comment was ridiculous.
Do you or do you not consider the Bible to be the source of a Christian's moral code? Hell, I'll tag @Sean the Puritan for this question as well.
Right. What do you think is the additional belief that renders their worldview inconsistent? I think it is "Fetuses aren't really quite persons after all." Do you agree that that's what they believe?
The United States is not a third world country. The loss of a few thousand doctors whose primary purpose is to destroy healthy lives would be no great loss.
So, let's suppose 10,000 doctors go to prison. Most of those who perform abortions are gynecologists and obstetricians. There are approximately 20,090 Ob/Gyns currently practicing in the United States. Are you following me so far? There is currently a shortage of OB/GYNs all across the country, but especially in states like Louisiana, Kansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Arkansas, and others. It is projected that the need for OB/GYNs in the United States will grow 6% over the next 3 years, due to that high demand. The growth will still fall short of what is needed. OB/GYNs are involved in prenatal care, fertility, pregnancy, general reproductive healthcare for women, oh, and they also deliver babies. We still on the same page? According to the Departments of Surgery & Obstetrics and Gynecology at OSU there will be a critical shortage of OB-GYNs by 2030. Have you figured out yet how idiotic your idea is? Have the dots been connected for you? Imprisoning 10,000 doctors would be a catastrophe. Sources: https://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes291064.htm https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3704110/
You don't have to be an OB/GYN to deliver a baby. Or to conduct prenatal care for that matter. And if we do have a shortage of OB/GYNs those in prison can be forced to perform free medical services as part of their sentence.
You are stupid. Good old Dayton. I can see his campaign now: "Freedom, through elimination, imprisonment, and forced labor."
Seig heil!! Yep, all it takes to commit an atrocity without blinking is to view the other side as an existential threat.
Putting people in prison for violating the law is now an "atrocity"? I'll never see why so many have such intense feelings IN FAVOR of abortion rights. Intense feelings against abortion rights makes logical and human sense but not the other way.
Because an adult's body ought not belong to the state, or a bunch of petty sexist theocrats using the state as their cudgel.
Well, there you have it, folks. Dayton came right out and said women need to be brood-mares of the state.
I'm sure I've posted this before, but the Bible is actually pro abortion. Not pro choice, pro abortion. http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/says_about/abortion.html So, the "religious grounds", line is all bullshit. Sometime in the 60's, a bunch of ugly little bigots that no one wanted to fuck got together, decided they wanted to control the uterus, and dressed it up in Jesus jargon, and the Daytons of the world joyously lapped it up.
I truly and honestly don't understand the mindset that leads to them believing that a fetus is a human being, abortion is murder, and yet the mothers ought not be prosecuted. I guess I need to have a conversation with one and learn why they reason the way they do.
I never said that. Aside from a handful of pregnancies resulting from sexual assaults, no one forces a woman in the U.S. to become pregnant nor do I know of anyone who advocates that. You are lying outright and you know it.
I've learned the very hard way that it's generally best for my sanity and blood pressure to not pay too close attention to the things you say relating to politics, the military, religion, ethics, or morals. Sorry. You've just got a bad track record on those topics.
You really should engage people you disagree with more. You might learn something. I have no problems interacting with people here who disagree with me.
