Bt already answered his own question, per what I said, in that abortions, depending on their locations, can be performed into the 3rd trimester. States get to decide the specifics

Sorry. I did not answer my own question. I asked for a list of states that allow unfettered abortions. Did I provide my own list? No.

Plane provided the list.

And yea, many discuss faith based positions......when they introduce them, where they want to.  What's this power need to pull my thread from another more appropriate location of dicsussion, where I was perfectly willing to debate it, now making it look ridiculous as some Jay Leno Headlines skit.  If I had wanted to discuss it in more detail here, I would have facilitated that.  And then to hide in this cloak of "its not my concern" really provides how shallow a move it was on your part.  If YOU wanted to discuss it in this thread, then YOU should have intiated something in this thread

I just keep wondering why

You are starting to worry me. Have you thought about counseling?

I am sure that any woman can get an abortion somewhere at any time she chooses. I would never interfere. I see this as her business and none of my own. I see this as the way that human beings are obviously designed.

Therefore, we are really talking about how sirs and Plane and whoever think the government should CONTROL the lives of women too poor to go to that place.

The whole idea of jailing doctors and poor women for managing their own lives as they see fit is repugnant to me.

Except mine was sincere. Yours per your own admission  simple tit for perceived tat.

Carry on. Consider my remarks or not.

LOL....counseling is your reponse to my sincere conclusion as to your "why"?  Yea, that's categorized as a crack.  You can accept it or discard it, it matters not

Because your degree is in.....?, and the diagnosis is......?

Perhaps I'm learning from you to not take what you say as sincere.  Perhaps. 

Anyways, moving on

Perhaps you can show where i claimed to have a degree in counseling? I wondered even hazard a guess as to a diagnosis.

But it doesn't take a degree to know when something isn't quite right. A parent or grandparent picks up those skills as a matter of course.

Perhaps it would help, perhaps it wouldn't. Perhaps you feel you don't need it. It was a suggestion, not a requirement to maintain your posting privileges.

And sure moveon.

Don't know how you can come to that conclusion, but you would be wrong.

Are you a parent?

Yea, I am.  As a parent, I'm intimate with the family, their idiosyncrasies, what's "normal", and what "isn't quite right"

Moving on.....at least hopefully
