Alabama abortion law...

My question was, if she operates a vehicle DUI and has an accident, should she be charged if the baby dies? If it were the driver of the another car under the influence that hit the mother, they could be charged with the death of the child. That's a very fine squiggly line to walk.

 

Take booze out of it. Say mom-to-be was texting her baby daddy and smucked a light post. Criminally negligent homicide or just an oh well shit happens?

 

Good point. Impaired or distracted.

 

Quoted for posterity

 

Savor the moment.

 

If the baby is one day old, she gets charged. As you said, a fine line.

 

So where do you draw the line on planned or wanted pregnancy?

 

I am not twisting your words, I am using your logic. If you don't like that, find better logic.

Actions have consequences. You want to let people out of the consequences because "nobody wins". You're excusing the actions against a "civil" society, why is that?

 

I recall reading a disapproving comment or two on the ol internets when Melissa Paris raced at 5(?) months pregnant.

If we expect pregnant women to keep working we should also give them the benefit of the doubt to keep living as one person until the baby's breathing its own air*

*That was in no way, shape, or form a comment related to abortion.

 

Who expected her to keep working while pregnant? Was in her contract or something?

 

Because engaging in her chosen profession equals impaired or distracted driving?

 

Leave it to the dungeon to be literal in a convo about the slippery slope of in utero protection responsibility.

 

Hyperbole much?

 

Nah, he’s too preoccupied with being stupid much.

 

Great canned internet response. 2 points for you.

Can always count on your support. It's noted and appreciated.

 

Your parents didn’t tell you the hard truths, so someone had to.

 

My question was literal the first time it was posed. It is a slippery slope. Jase chose to avoid my follow-up question. looks like you have made a similar choice.

 

Pot meet kettle, you refused to answer the legit question.

 

Your question was irrelevant to my comment. I never said anyone expected Melissa to work. I said people criticized her personal choice then added my own opinion. Period. Ask a question relevant to my post and I'd have been happy to discuss the vast grey area in this topic. Abstract discussion is a little high brow for this place I suppose.

See above. You asked a question in no way related to me or my comment. How is not answering that "avoiding?"
