[ryoder 1,590]

Interesting part is decision is based on the Kansas state constitution.

Well, that's why states also have their own constitutions, congresses and supreme courts.  It should be heralded as a huge win for states' rights, too ... but it won't be.  Well done, Kansas Supreme Court.

Does the state of Kansas have a recall law for a supreme court justices?

[turtlespeed 221]

You don't have to be in favor of something to support not having a law against it.

That said - I am encouraged that Kansas did the right thing.

So now an 11 year old girl in Alabama who is raped will be forced to carry the rapist's child to term and give birth to it.

Must be God's will.

'bama, 'nuff said. Besides, American women are not doing enough to ensure the continued domination of Caucasians. Someone has to step up.

I don't know why this is an issue - 

Alyssa Milano and Bette Midler are demanding a sex strike until body autonomy is acheived - 

She says no one can afford to get pregnant under the current regulations - and no woman should have sex until the laws are changed.

Most people, until this post I would have likely typed all, understand that laws and twitter posts are different.

No different than the Taliban. Both groups are a bunch of backwards hicks.

I have no trouble understanding the difference -

At least not nearly as much as you did with the  context being replied to -

 . . . Or do you believe that there are laws in the US concerning birth rates.

Yes, laws that outlaw abortion will increase birth rates.  By definition.  Laws that outlaw birth control will have a similar effect.  Laws that outlaw sex education will also have a similar, but less direct, effect.

I was asking Justin - but ok - 

The article was about declining birth rates - which laws are causing that?

You are equating women using refraining from sex as some form of protest to a state legislature banning abortions, even if pregnancy is due to incest or rape.

They are the exact opposite. On one side there are women who have made a decision with regards to their own body, on the other side we have a state legislature taking away the ability for women to make a decision affecting their own body.

Laws giving women something closer to equal power and access to birth control.

Women deciding not to have kids early is causing declining birth rates.  That's true in nearly every society - the more educated and empowered women are, the later they have kids, and the fewer kids they have.  And laws that give women the right to choose, that give women the power to say no to men, that give women educational opportunities (especially sex education) and that give women employment opportunities all tend to decrease birth rates

Dang. 

My nibling shared something on FB that I thought was pretty telling on the abortion debate. 

“OK, if the baby starts at conception, then so should child support, as well as equally shared responsibility for birth costs.”

I'm  sure the millions of women against abortion at the front of the pro life movement would agree.

The only ones that probably would disagree are deadbeats that don't really give a shit about anything, including abortion.

first they compare a fetus to a cancerous tumor, now they compare it to a cake.  I guess that's an improvement.

You seem to be sure of a lot of things about women. I don't see any of them speaking up in agreement.

Ya, if they're deadbeats like I already said.  Their stance on abortion really wouldn't matter.   It seems most men don't have a problem supporting their wife/girlfriend through their pregnancy and beyond, but maybe I'm wrong.

Ok, maybe they don't want the support of their baby's father during their pregnancy.

I would hope most men would also support their girlfriend/wife regarding decisions they want to make around their own bodies. The Alabama law says we are wrong.
