All I can say is that there is scientifically little to no difference between on of these 'fetuses' after the first trimester and a baby. In my opinion that effectively makes late-term abortion the same thing as infanticide. The idea that fetuses aren't actually human beings disturbs me because it implies that
a) The fetus just suddenly becomes human in the process of being delivered, which is physically impossible.
or b) The fact that you haven't met this person makes it ok to kill it.
I find it rather odd that the same people that are putting up so much protest about the innocent lives lost in war in Iraq are promoting this sort of thing right here at home.

Many people regret many things they do. Almost all women at some point regret abortion and even adoption.
Wow. You missed my point completely. Do you think I'm "pro life"? My point was that since people often have regrets about difficult or painful choices, its not surprising nor is it important to the issue of choice that she regrets hers. I'm pro choice.Originally posted by eNtRopY
Almost all women regret adoption at some point? So, you have established that people have an equal probability of regretting any decision they make. By this rationale many people would also regret not having an abortion.
Perhaps you think it best to let the state make the decisions for the people because the people are too stupid to make the "right" decision. Yeah, true Americans like myself call that facism.
Thank you for presenting such a weak argument.

The key victory for abortion rights advocates in the U.S. Supreme Court was the ruling in the case of June Medical Services LLC v. Russo. The Court struck down a Louisiana law that required doctors who perform abortions to have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals, stating that it placed an undue burden on women seeking abortions and was therefore unconstitutional.
This ruling was significant for abortion rights because it reaffirmed the precedent set in Whole Woman's Health v. Hellerstedt that restricting access to abortion through medically unnecessary regulations is unconstitutional. It also showed that the Court remains committed to upholding the right to abortion established in Roe v. Wade.
This ruling will likely have a significant impact on abortion laws in other states. It sets a clear precedent that laws targeting abortion providers and clinics cannot be passed under the guise of protecting women's health, and gives advocates a strong argument to challenge similar laws in other states.
The Court's decision split in a 5-4 vote, with Chief Justice John Roberts joining the liberal justices in the majority. Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, and Brett Kavanaugh dissented.
This ruling is a significant win for abortion rights advocates and suggests that the current balance of the Court is still in favor of upholding the right to abortion. However, with the recent appointment of Justice Amy Coney Barrett, the future of abortion rights in the United States remains uncertain and will likely depend on future cases brought before the Court.
