The answer of they become a human being isn't precise. It's not like at 12 weeks gestation they aren't suddenly a human. Bodily autonomy should recognize that at some point, which will forever remain undecided, there are two bodies, one of which is unable to protest against their impending murder. The government absolutely has business in cases of criminality such as the taking of a human life.

The Brook in seabrook had roll to win machine. Not a felt craps table. All etg betting interface. I thought the max bet was 10 last time I went.

Wonder what's the next step, is this another thing people thing will be stopped in the Senate like the marijuana bill? I'm anti abortion, but I think it should be legal for the safety of those who need it. I think that term of "need" might be up for debate but it should be legal at least.

Exactly, the answer of when they become a human being isn't precise. It's not like at 12 weeks gestation they are suddenly a human. All these discussions around it just distract from the real issue of bodily autonomy. What a person decides to do with their body is between themselves, whatever god they do or don't believe in, and their medical provider. The government has no business in the doctor's office.

There are two public trails. Peverly pond trail is a half mile ADA boardwalk. Ferry Way Trail is a 2 mile trail out to great bay. They also host bike tours with access to closed portions of the refuge, shoreline cleanups https://naturegroupie.org/experiences/great-bay-nwr-shoreline-cleanup-0, and every October they have an open house where the public can walk to woodman point (normally off limits). They also have annual hunting permit raffles for Deer and Turkey for both Bow and shotgun.

People have to make all kinds of nuanced decisions. This is why this argument will go on forever and forever be used as an effective wedge issue.

Public policy should be to educate, provide contraception, and basically make abortion as unnecessary as possible, but it seems some want to have it both ways - don't educate, don't allow abortion, providing free contraception is condoning (or encouraging) "free sex."

The worst cases are the women who need D&C's due to ectopic pregnancies and the like and can no longer get them or have to go through hoops to get them, and then there are those whose babies have severe abnormalities and who will only live for a while after birth and women are being forced to carry to term.

This is "compassionate conservatism" I guess.

This was about forcing beliefs onto others, marriage is an example of that force coming from the left. Like I said elsewhere, I'm not interested in an argument over right and wrong, I'm just pointing out the fact that forcing beliefs is not unique to the right, it's probably more prevalent from the left.. even if they refuse to recognize it.
