As of now, the vote would still ve 5-4 for abortion in the U.S. Supreme Court. However if one of the "liberal" justices dies, then it may be overturned.

I think that it needs to be pointed out over and over how the bible defines life as beginning with the first breath "the breath of life". The first breath is taken after the child is born and out of the womb. If they argue it, than ask them if they are saying the bible is wrong. They rget really uncomfortable and squirmy at that point.

how long do you got? Its been a major sticking point for 2500 years. Yes, you read that right. 500 years before Jesus this was being debated by pagans.

This is from the original Hippocratic Oath:
>Similarly I will not give to a woman a pessary to cause abortion.

Humanity will debate this issue until there are no more humans.

To answer your second question: yes, in order to get rid of it would require nothing short of a constitutional amendment of two parts of the US constitution.

It will survive because (as I was told by few politicians) if the issue becomes "obsolete" they will lose a big pillar of their campaigns

Forgive my swerving a bit off-topic but contraception also influences politics especially in countries where the Catholic church or Islam have influence.

Before I retired I was a pharmacist so I offer a couple of comments regarding Emergency Hormonal Contraception (The 'Morning After Pill' ).

EHC is NOT a form of abortion. It prevents the implantation of the fertilized egg. In 50% of cases the egg fails to implant anyway (this is one of the major problems in IVF). EHC sways the balance to around 98% of cases. In the UK it can be taken up to 3 days ,if purchased, after unprotected sex or 5 days if prescribed by a physician (different drug).

The woman should report any kind of abdominal pain experienced within a few months to her physician because, if the medication fails, there is an increased risk of an ectopic pregnancy. This doesn't mean that EHC causes ectopic pregnancy. The fertilized egg takes 5-10 days to travel to the uterus to implant so if it implants in the fallopian tube it does so before the drug has had time to work and would have done so anyway.

If the woman vomits within 3 hours of taking the drug she needs to see her physician for a revised dose and, possibly, an anti-emetic. This IME is extremely rare. If it's later than 3 hours she can go ahead and vomit all she wants.

Since some kinds of medication can prevent EHC from working and there are women for whom it is not suitable (alternatives are available) so the pharmacist or physician should be asking a few questions. Actually, I remember many instances of women launching into a blow-by-blow account of the previous evening's activities and having to tell them that I only needed answers to a few specific questions.

Another important thing is to establish that the woman could not have become pregnant before the unprotected sexual intercourse (UPSI - yes, it really is called that) in question, for example the previous week. If she has then, as far as is known, the EHC does no harm - but it won't work! I did mention that it is not a form of abortion.

Finally, EHC is a less reliable method of contraception than 'ordinary' pills and condoms. I used to say to regular EHC users that there is a name for such people. They are called parents.

As long as evangelicals have a large voting demographic.

Roe v Wade...Don't know.

I don't think anyone likes abortion. But it's a necessary thing. Who else has the right to decide, other than the woman carrying the baby/zygote/fetus...? It is indeed a sad thing when it has to happen as no one can argue, so the celebration of the right to abort must not be equated to some kind of sick pleasure that comes from doing it.

Such is the confusion that pro-lifers have with the issue. They can't differentiate between the two. They think we're celebrating the right to kill. Um, duh...

This is frightening. I hope and pray it does. This has to be left up to the individual. Back alley abortions are a real thing and they will become a problem (I bet in places that they have made abortion problematic, they already have, but I am afraid to look up those numbers). It is a frightening question.

As long as a coin has 2 sides.
Depends on how soon Trump can get impeached lol
