The Intent of the Left ... Stopped by the Intent of the Right

“This radical pro-abortion bill that Senator Schumer has set for a vote on tomorrow allows for abortions at any point during a woman's pregnancy up until the time of delivery. It does this by prohibiting states from protecting an unborn child's right to life as long as one health care provider signs off that a pregnancy would pose a risk to the woman's physical or mental health.”
“This extreme legislation would invalidate all state laws that limit abortions after 20 weeks of gestation. This wouldn't just impact pro-life red states. This change is so radical that it would invalidate existing laws in blue states as well.”
“This bill would also invalidate laws that prevent abortion from being used as a method of sex selection.”
“This bill that the Majority Leader has teed up a vote on tomorrow would also invalidate conscience laws, which protect health care providers who have deeply held objections to abortion. Conscience laws are extremely common in 46 states, allowing individual health care providers to refuse to provide abortion services.”
"As shocking as this legislation is, it's not entirely new. It already failed to pass the Senate once this year. It couldn't even earn the support of all 50 Democratic senators.”
“I simply do not agree that the American people want abortion laws in our country that put us on par with the Chinese Communist Party and North Korea, two of the world's most aggressive human rights abusers.”
- The comments state the protections that The Left, represented by the US Senator from NY, want to remove. (Overturning Roe v Wade does not negate what the Left wants.)
- The Principle in Play Is Protection of Life.
- The same principle was in play when Ukraine gave up its nukes.
-
Give up the protection, the effect follows.
- The is why the Second Amendment to the US Constitution exists, and why The Left wants it gone.
Philosophically speaking, should the definition of "fully-formed" be determined by The Left that refuses to define "woman," for political reasons? (The last SCOTUS justice confirmed, a Leftist, refused to define "woman.")
Answer: Outside of Bizarro world, no. Within Bizarro world, of course. Keep in mind that world is in you.
Rationally speaking: slaughtering humans at a particular stage of their development, does not justify slaughtering other humans at a later stage of development.
