    "Look if someone wants to murder their child, that's up to them. Who are we as a society to interfere?"

    Well, very clear example of what Republican rule looks like for the 2024 election and every other one after it. Perfect worst case scenario to use in ads anywhere in the country, that until now was an extreme hypothetical. Think what the new hypotheticals look like now.

    A doctor and a parent aren't allowed to murder a two-year-old child. The government absolutely should stop people from killing their children or punish them if they do. You are right though, it is just like when a child is two.

    Does discontinuing life support on a terminally ill patient constitute murder, in your opinion? Should families, with their doctors' input, be allowed to make these decisions when no advanced directive is available?

    If a child is 2 and on life support without hope of recovery, doctors and parents are allowed to decide when to remove the child from life support. And no a fetus in the womb is quite different than a 2 year old.

    It’s murder if this woman has to deal with complications to her own life (without modern interventions she may actually die)

    Texas state legislature are some of the most backwards idiots

    Republicans on a national level will continue to lose because they can’t seem to let go of a deeply unpopular stance and insistence on keeping their hands up people’s wombs.

    Inflicting pain on their "lessors" isn't a bug in GOP policy, it's a feature.

    **** dude, don't give the Texas GOP any more ideas.

    I don’t expect to change your opinion on this but it’s not at all like if the child was two. A two year old isn’t within the body of the mother and using the resources of that body to survive.

    As many know I’m one who tries to find middle ground on issues but if you believe that abortion is murder in all cases there is no middle ground. At that point it is a matter of political success regarding which side wins.

    The family has openly stated that they very, very much want to have at least 1 more child.

    How is rendering the mother infertile "pro life"?

    Throughout human history there as always been an evil element among us that endorses child sacrifice. The general acceptance of abortion is its current manifestation. It certainly confirms the existence of original sin.

    Abortion is the holiest of sacraments of the political left. No issue is more important to them than the ability to murder the unborn.

    Yea let’s kill mothers for a non-viable fetus that will also kill the mother, great right?

    a molar pregnancy isn’t a viable fetus or anything resembling a child, but under current laws would force a mother to carry to term. Even a choriocarcinoma which is a deadly cancer

    Texas republicans are not conservatives, advocates for government tyranny

    Throughout human history there has always been a toxic element that has tried to deny science, scientific progress, and forward movement in the path toward enlightenment.

    Furthermore it is often hampered often cruelly by those who adhere to misguided religious rational and government actors seeking to play off of people's ignorance for their own fear.

    That has been far more of a detriment to our society than whatever child sacrifices you are talking about.

    It isn't like it in that the child is not inside the mother, it is exactly like it in that the mother is killing her own child.

    “Pro-life” is a branding term. As we see another poster is taking about abortion as human sacrifice. This is not about consistency in all cases but religious zeal.
