    Sounds like the Congressman should Focus on His Own Family.

    Surely they remembered to exclude pregnancies in which conservative Christian heroes and champions of family values are the fathers.

    It passed the house in 2015 too, but failed in the Senate. They don't appear to have the votes this time, either.

    They know the Senate won't pass it; but they have to look like they're doing SOMETHING, so they do this for more political theater.

    Kinda like, you know, those 60 votes to repeal Obamacare.

    Those dozens -- LITERALLY DOZENS! -- of votes for Medicare For All come to mind, too.

    If someone can provide me a good reason a healthy 20-week-old fetus should be aborted, I'd like to know. You're talking about a fetus he size of a banana.

    Your buddy is desperately trying to minimize this and use it to go after the evil media while claiming he isn't trying to use this. It IS his fault and he is just hiding behind some semantic bullshit for cover like he always does.

    Says the guy who runs and hides or sticks his fingers in his ears and refuses to acknowledge reality every time he is confronted with an instance of being wrong.

    And your response when Dickie correctly pointed out that you were wrong in your response to typefitter? "Fair enough" No actual admission that you were wrong. Just that evasive, vague bullshit, but you insist on a full apology or confession when you think you are right and others weren't?

    Don't you ever get tired of spewing hypocrisy all over this board?

    It's only something like 1 percent of abortions occur 20 weeks and afterward, and most of those are in case of life/health issues for the woman. Others occur because of fetal defects.

    This bill preserves the life/health issues exemption, but I'm not sure if there's a fetal defect provision. So, this bill is for probably less than 1 percent of abortions.

    I'm OK with banning abortions at that stage unless the pregnancy puts the mother in danger, even if it's 1 percent of abortions.

    You guys are going to argue abortion? LOL.

    I'll just sit back and watch as Baron argues in favor of infanticide for the umpteenth time.
