‘Personhood Act’ to Prohibit Abortion
Introduced in Ohio

Original Article

Posted By: MDConservative, 7/14/2022 9:32:07 AM

Ohio State Representative Gary Click (R-Vickery) this week introduced a bill to protect preborn human life from abortion. Titled The Personhood Act, Click’s legislation stipulates that the state “shall recognize the personhood, and protect the constitutional rights, of all unborn human individuals from the moment of conception.” The measure would not prohibit abortion in any case where doing so would “endanger the life of a mother.”

Comments:

When exactly is the "moment of conception"? When sperm meets egg forming a zygote looking for a uterus? The bill doesn't define the term. So, if that is your "moment of conception", it would essentially ban all common birth control medications. This should prove interesting. Many "pro-life" women use oral contraception.

I think about abortion is that it's not that big a deal. As for sex try to be prudent and careful and not get pregnant, and if you do then plan to go to the nearest state for an abortion that allows them. This is not a no-brainer but it's close

Maybe I'm missing something, but "moment of conception" means an egg has been successfully fertilized. Am I incorrect? Birth control's purpose is to prevent fertilization. There is clearly much to be discussed as to situations/time frames of if/when abortions can take place legally and morally. But isn't contraception a separate topic? It seems that it is intentionally being packaged with the abortion discussion as a way of ginning up fear and distracting from the abortion legislation on the table in various States.

Having been a miscarriage sufferer, one at 7 weeks 3 days and one at 14 weeks 1 day, I think I have some good experience when it comes to this topic. It makes no sense morally and religiously to define life starting ANYWHERE else besides conception, what we now know as when 2 gametes combine to create a wholly different set of DNA but for centuries was known to be connected to the sex act and philosophers as far back as ancient Greece made assumption concerning male seeds being planted in fertile wombs etc. One might make the argument that implantation is a better moment but other than some blood tests and guessing, that point is hard to pinpoint exactly and morally, is thus very ambiguous. All that said, abortion laws in this country can not be written solely with morality in mind. They have to have legal and scientific/medical backing. And they have to have evidence that can withstand the rigors of a court battle. Ambiguity is rewarded with being struck down by every court in the land. This is why "heartbeat bills" make more sense. The heartbeat is detectable as early as 6 weeks into pregnancy. It can be seen on an ultrasound and in fact is one of the first things they check when you present with bleeding during early pregnancy. It is not unusual to have a very early intravaginal ultrasound to confirm a heartbeat, especially for high risk moms. All expectant mothers (assuming they are young and healthy with no history of bleeding or previous miscarriage) now know that as soon as that heartbeat is detected, their chance of miscarrying their baby plummets to just 4%. That is a verifiable medical fact.

#2 One of the main reasons some religious people avoid hormonal contraception is that there is evidence that "the pill" and other hormonal birth control methods actually can prevent implantation of a viable zygote into the uterine lining. If one believes life begins at conception, then this action can in and of itself morally be considered abortion.

Yesterday, I chatted with a lady who was forced by her parents to place her newborn for adoption when she was 16/17. This was in the 60s'. She thought about abortion but was talked out of it. She had lots of inner torment for decades. She has reconnected with her son. He calls her 'Mom.' Life is wonderful.

Stupid name for what sounds like a good bill. Dems scream about "democracy" in our Republic, but the LAST thing they want is actually living by laws that have to be passed in elected bodies rather than forced on us by their leftist judges.

Migrants sent from Texas are still arriving in D.C. months after the state's governor followed through on a promise to send those who crossed U.S. border illegally to the nation's capital. Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) first announced on April 6 that the state would send people crossing the U.S. border from Mexico to the steps of the U.S. Capitol. Abbott’s announcement came as he voiced opposition to President Joe Biden lifting Title 42, the public health policy the Trump administration started during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Republican pollster Rick Shaftan is like a lot of political junkies: He looks to his mother for hints on what real America is thinking. Lately, their talks have been about former President Donald Trump and whether he should run again. “Here’s the thing: My mom, of all people, my 96-year-old mom points this out,” said Shaftan, who just finished polling Republicans in Iowa about the coming 2024 presidential caucus. “She says, ‘I don’t see Trump doing anything. What’s he doing? He’s not making any news,'” Shaftan said. Of course, Trump does make some news, but it's mostly complaining about the 2020 election results...

A staggering 71 million more people around the world are experiencing poverty as a result of soaring food and energy prices that climbed in the weeks following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the United Nations Development Program said in a report Thursday. The UNDP estimates that 51.6 million more people fell into poverty in the first three months after the war, living off $1.90 a day or less. This pushed the total number globally at this threshold to 9% of the world's population. An additional 20 million people slipped to the poverty line of $3.20 a day.

Millions of Americans rely on the federal government to cover the cost of college. Education loans have existed for generations, but borrowing only really took off in the past two decades. Soaring college costs, higher enrollment, changes to the federal lending system, labor market demand for credentials and paltry wage growth have all contributed to the $1.6 trillion in outstanding federal student debt. This does not include debt originated in the private market.

Many seemed barely able to shuffle through the narrow space; how they would maneuver their bodies into the 18”-wide seats that awaited them was another mystery.

With no end in sight for the Ukraine war, Macron said, the French should brace themselves for costs to remain high. “This war will continue,” he said in a televised interview marking France’s national holiday, Bastille Day. “The summer, early autumn will be very hard.”
