Adoption is a solution to unwanted _parenting_ not unwanted _pregnancy_. Especially in the US, where pregnancy is more dangerous than anywhere in the developed world. And those maternal mortality rates don't even take into account the biggest cause of death for pregnant Americans: homicide.

In other news, it appears makers of viagara have adjusted the formula to high-speed that hard-on into a massive heart attack.

Experimental to support stopping abortions at the source.

And what happens if the woman doesn't want to give the child to the would-be adoptive parents? Can they kidnap her and hold her until she gives birth? How about tipping open her uterus and stealing the baby?

do you not know that every state has thousands of children that can’t find homes. So your answer is to put more children out there in the world on the streets. Pretty darn stupid if youask me.

At risk of seeking an abortion well let’s see….

1) everyone with a uterus

2) any man who cheats…..

So the list is basically all women and potentially all men….

Another of the endless d-bags my fellow Missourians keep voting for. Outside a 10-mile radius of the Arch and downtown KC (and a couple more places), the folks here, I swear....my homestate is really a beautiful place, except for the majority of the voters and their chosen lawmakers.

A young man made an interesting argument about body autonomy and abortion. If he had complete kidney failure and needed a transplant and his mother has the only matching tissue the State could not force her to donate a kidney. Even though it means he dies his right to life does not over ride her right to body autonomy. When a person dies, unless they have given express written consent for organ or tissue donation the State can not touch their body. Thus the State has no right to over ride her body autonomy on this one point.

I live in this Handmaid’s Tale nightmare, and believe me, there are people working here day and night to fight this. We have a Republican super majority in this state, and the national Democratic Party has basically given up on us…Even getting abortion on the ballot was pure grassroots…

Yep. We are bits of blue in a red wilderness.

And I want a law creating a requirement that before a man can be prescribed Viagra or other such ED treatment, he must sign an affidavit to that effect the purpose of the medication is only only for the man to have sex so he can be procreating, as the Lord intended. And all such affadavits must be publicly searchable on the internet at the agency website Hecancum.com.
