benalvino3: What I posted is abortion. That picture shows you a human that was slaughtered. It was called abortion. That's not a fetus, it was an embryo, it grown to that stage.
You've been asked twice now ben. How old is the "embryo" in the picture you think you can blackmail with?
benalvino3: If you have been to the UK and go to a club you will know some people are there to pick up a stranger for sex. It's called a one night stand.
And you think those who one night stand are abortionists?
Is that because if you were them you would fail to learn from your own experience if not from those you followed to go out every weekend so you'd get knocked up just so you can abort?
Evangelynn: Many pro-life crusaders don't really care about the foetus they just care about controling women while absorbing men of blame.
If truly they cared about women they would make laws and put things in place to make life better for the children,their parents and holding men accountable too.
Evangelynn: Abortion isn't a must and it is not by force so I don't get this unnecessary attention it gets.
Same people against social welfare that will benefit children are against abortion but after the child is born that child is on its own and if government wants to help they will be screaming socialism
Lol a lot of kids born into poverty wish they weren't even born to begin with but you see people crying for the foetus unconcerned about the less privilege kids in the streets and orphanages,you lots should pick a struggle.
benalvino3: The lawyer for a teenager who repeatedly punched his pregnant girlfriend in the stomach has told Newsbeat it's too hard to convict people of harming unborn children.
"The prosecution has to prove not only have you killed a child, capable of being born alive, but you intended to kill it - so you wanted that unborn child dead - and that's quite a hard thing to prove," she says.
The prosecutor lacked competence and should seek counsel from the prosecutor who successfully charged and convicted Kevin Wilson in the same courts.
The original case was brought by Keira Bell, who says the clinic should have challenged her more over transitioning.
She said she was disappointed by the decision, and will seek permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.
The original case was brought by Keira Bell, who says the clinic should have challenged her more over transitioning.
She said she was disappointed by the decision, and will seek permission to appeal to the Supreme Court.
Keira Bell, one of the claimants in the case, started taking puberty blockers at the age of 16 after being referred to Gids.
She was later prescribed the male hormone testosterone and had surgery to remove her breasts.
Now in her mid-20s, she regrets the decision to transition to a male, and feels there wasn't enough investigation or therapy before she reached that stage.
She said she had "no regrets" about bringing the case, which she said "shone a light into the dark corners of a medical scandal that is harming children and harmed me.
"I am obviously disappointed with the ruling of the court today, and especially that it did not grapple with the significant risk of harm that children are exposed to by being given powerful experimental drugs." https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-58598186
This might educate you why some abort ben, though I wouldn't hold my breath.

POLITICO illustration/Photos by AP and courtesy of Josina MoriaWhen Josina Morita became pregnant with her first child four years ago, she talked to human resources folks at the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago for what she thought would be a three-minute discussion.
Morita found out then that she was the first ever elected official of the $1.2 billion water district to be pregnant. And there was no pregnancy policy for elected officials who, like Morita and many others in state and local government, serve in part-time positions.Changing the policy at the 130-year-old government organization became a “complicated and exhausting ordeal,” says Morita, that saw her have her baby before anything changed. Fortunately, the new maternity policy was in place a few years later when she had her second baby.
Since then, Morita and other elected officials from Illinois have formed the Mama’s Caucus to advocate for pregnant women in government. Among their members is Sen. Tammy Duckworth, the first woman to give birth while in the Senate and the first to bring a baby on the Senate floor. “All I — and probably many other women — could think was, It’s about time,” Duckworth wrote in her recent memoir.
Says Morita: “We say we want more women to run, younger women and women of color, but that means we run for office when we’re having children. If we want more women to run we have to change the culture and the policy.”Rep. Elise Stefanik , the No. 3-ranking Republican in the House of Representatives, made a similar point about culture in August, after two local news reporters, both men, questioned whether she, as a new mother, would be able to effectively legislate and help lead her party. Stefanik called them out as “sexist” on Twitter, adding “This is sadly why more women choose not to run for office.”
U.S. lawmakers are also newly determined to protect pregnant women and new mothers across the board — especially those in low-wage and non-office jobs who aren’t always able to get simple accommodations to continue working while pregnant. The renewed attention to pregnancy in the workforce is thanks in part to a Democratic administration but also because the pandemic has shined a light on the challenges women face on the job — any job.
Earlier this year, the House passed the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA), a bill that was first introduced in 2012. PWFA clears up loopholes in the national Pregnancy Discrimination Act that put the burden on employees to prove they need accommodations because they’re pregnant. The bill says there should be a standard, much the way the American With Disabilities Act functions when accommodations are needed on the job. “The truth of the matter is that even though this law is over 40 years old, women are still discriminated against in the workplace when they’re pregnant,” Rep. Jackie Speier, one of the bill’s co-sponsors, told Women Rule, referring to the national policy that’s been on the books.
She pointed to the case of Peggy Young, a former UPS driver. In 2006, Young asked to lift lighter packages when she became pregnant only to be told she needed to take unpaid leave instead. Meanwhile, men at UPS who had heart surgery or diabetes received accommodations that allowed them to lift lighter loads. The Supreme Court ruled in Young’s favor in 2014, and an undisclosed settlement with the company was reached.Not every woman in the workforce can take a case to the highest court in the land, and not every case is as decisive as the Supreme Court found in Young v. UPS.Many women “work with their head down” hoping their pregnancies don’t jeopardize their jobs or careers, says Elizabeth Gedmark, VP of A Better Balance, a national legal advocacy organization.
“Pregnant workers are treated like second-class citizens in this country. There’s no other way to say it,” she told Women Rule. “It has an effect on everyone if it’s perceived that pregnant women and new mothers are not able to do the full job — which we know is completely untrue — then people feel forced to take drastic measures whether that’s leaving the workforce or hiding a pregnancy or not requesting changes they might need to help do their job. But without a stronger law on the books, there are too many women left out.”
Over the years, the bill has been approved twice by the House, but the Senate has never voted on it. It seems close this time, now that it has bipartisan support. Still, some Republicans and conservatives have pushed back against the legislation because they oppose accommodating workers who choose to have abortions.Speier hopes passage comes soon. On the House side, the bill has 225 sponsors, 19 of whom are Republicans. And Stefanik is among them.
Happy Friday and welcome Women Rule! As a mom who has juggled being pregnant in the workforce, I could relate to today’s lead story. Though I have to admit, I thought we’d have moved past a lot of these problems by now. Do you have a pregnancy-in-the workforce tale to tell? If so, we’d like to hear. It’s an issue we’re sure to write about again. skapos@politico.com
MARK YOUR CALENDARS -- The 2020 killing of 20-year-old Army soldier Vanessa Guillen, who had told family she was being sexually harassed by several soldiers prior to her disappearance in Fort Hood, galvanized calls to change how the military deals with sexual assault and harassment. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), a veteran and a sexual assault survivor, have long pushed Congress to act on the issue. Now, they have proposed bipartisan legislation to overhaul military sexual assault policies. Their efforts are gaining momentum, but still face opposition. Register here to join POLITICO Playbook author Rachael Bade on Thursday, Sept. 23 at 1 PM ET / 10 AM PT, for a Women Rule virtual joint interview with Sen. Ernst and Sen. Gillibrand to discuss the state of their proposed legislation and what it will take to end sexual assault and sexual harassment in the military.
benalvino3: She should remove the human without killing it. She is a mother for crying out loud and as a murder she is not allowed to abuse her child in her womb or outside her womb.
Hear yourself. She's not a woman or a human being, "She is a mother".
benalvino3: Shameful. Shows you don't understand anything.
Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse, especially the unlawful killing of another human with malice aforethought.
suicide the action of killing oneself intentionally.
So this baby was not killed?
Now do the same for abortion ben. Show us you unreason!
benalvino3: Lmao. No, you are getting cornered. Murder is murder, abortion should be abortion. A woman cannot say kill the baby in my womb and it's called abortion and at the same time it's murder when another person does it without her concent
This is like claiming if you killed yourself you've committed murder and not suicide.
A woman does not say "kill the baby in my womb" ben! Spend time with women to hear how they speak.
benalvino3: Even if it's one abortion it's abortion. You are just making childish arguments. Is this an abortion or murder since you said majority don't get to the stage as an argument
It is an abortion ben if it is in a woman's body and she decides to remove it according to the law. If it isn't legal she'd be in jail.
benalvino3: Tell me what he did? You people call it fetus and it does not have rights until its outside the womb but now it's a baby because the mother did not say remove it from my womb.
No ben, it's not "a baby because the mother did not say remove it from my womb". It's a baby because it was born to the point where it acquired life of its own.
wirinet: E surprise me too o! People getting arrested for taking cocaine. Maybe he thinks other countries are Nigeria where you can be arrested for just strolling.
For you to me arrested for taking cocaine in other climes, you must also constitute a nuisance or danger to society.
See what he posts as evidence of "take cocain or illegal drugs". A dealer, lol!
I will make sure I do all this before or after you rape me though I'd likely be your wife who must submit to you at will and would need your permission to contracept for fear your sperm is your baby!
Enugurangers: Like someone mentioned. Ben just likes to argue as an hobby.
He said women go to nightclubs to have sex. Are they having sex with Ghost at those Night clubs? How hard is it hard for some ashawo men to say NO and flee from the girls?
Ben is giving the men a pass for dumping their akamu in club girls but turns around to blame the girl when they try to abort the bastard seed planted in them by these men. what happened to cheap male condoms? I wonder if he is a club boy that dumps his akamu in every "holes" he sees at the club.
It would be good if he just liked to argue but I think this is truly how he unreasons. Funny is he's quick to claim one just doesn't want to agree with him instead of seeing how ridiculously absurd he is being.
benalvino3: Can you take cocain or illegal drugs? Why not? It's your body your choice right?
I am sure you are not in support of people who takes illegal drugs.
I seriously don't understand your reasoning. See as you decide I can not "take cocain or illegal drugs" and then provide yourself with a reason why I can't "take cocain or illegal drugs" when I can actually be taking "cocain or illegal drugs" at this very moment. Or do people who "take cocain or illegal drugs" ask for your permission or support ben?
I don't mind what "cocain or illegal drugs" you take, ben, so long as you do not let it negatively affect the proper operation of your mind.
benalvino3: The unreasoning is coming from you or you failed to grasp.
A woman had a baby right? It's her breast, she decides if she wants to feed the baby or not. It's her life, her body and her choice to be the mother of the baby and takes care of the baby.
Why can't she do this?
Because she had a baby, doh, and the baby has a body of its own so isn't "my body" anymore.
You do know that if one starves one's baby to death one would be done for murder?
I guess you are trying to apply the same rule to my foetus. Are you aware at all that most abortions are funded by men?
Enugurangers: I will give it time because the mods have refused to reign him in. Call the mods go do their job. Can you?
Report the offending post and move on. Mods will react in due time, though I must say I understand why they ignore this thread. It shows up in searches and gets lots of views.
