I assumed that we would eventually evolve past this sexism racism classism, but I'm coming to believe that this fight will never be over...

Absurd to the of absurdity

Yup....

Born people, 1st priority, not yet born, not 1st priority.

This is from the code book:

(a) A person commits the offense of criminal abortion when, in violation of Code Section 16-12-141 , he or she administers any medicine, drugs, or other substance whatever to any woman or when he or she uses any instrument or other means whatever upon any woman with intent to produce a miscarriage or abortion.

 A person convicted of the offense of criminal abortion shall be punished by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than ten years.

Code Section 16-12-141 is the exact section that was amended to include the heartbeat provision. If a person performs an abortion in violation of the heartbeat bill, then Code Section 16-12-140 applies. It does not impose life imprisonment on anybody, and Georgia courts have held that it does not apply to a woman who self-terminates, only to third parties who perform an abortion. In Hillman v. State, the Court of Appeals of Georgia rejected the prosecution’s effort to imprison a woman who shot herself in the stomach to kill her unborn child. Interpreting Section 16-12-140, it said, “This statute is written in the third person, clearly indicating that at least two actors must be involved.” Accordingly, it “does not criminalize a pregnant woman’s actions in securing an abortion, regardless of the means utilized.”

It's about old white men having power. I am one I just don't get it. I never got any of the memos.

(The reply button still isn't working) I think it's a war on abortion, not women..

Why would the woman get locked up? Wouldn't it be the doctor in that state that gets in trouble?

Keep your theology off my biology.

I did not know I was pregnant until six weeks. My period was a few days late. Not unusual.

My husband and I were backpacking in the Wallowa Mountains of NE Oregon.

For the first time in my life, I napped in the tent after lunch instead of exploring higher. Could not understand why I felt so tired.

"Where'd you get those headlamps?" Terry asked as we descended steeply. Turning, he looked up at me. I laughed.

On the way home, we stopped and bought a pregnancy test. I was pregnant at 35. Terry was 40.

Claire was the most well-planned child. Before getting pregnant, Terry and I took parenting classes. We debated about having a child. Between us, we had 12 years of YMCA program director experience.

My joke is during the ten minutes we agreed, we conceived.

Don't know the heart beat bill.
