Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Ummm. Wouldn't that also kill the baby?
When was the last time someone checked the lead levels in the drinking water in North Carolina?
You're assuming the bill is about mothers. When you realize it's about doctors, things make more sense.
That would only be relevant if their intent was to protect unborn fetuses.
It's never been able the babies. It's about abusing and controlling women.
If they cared about kids, they would be angry about Trump and the other republicans raping them.
It's the US. I'm sure it was checked, found to be dangerously high, they determined that work needed to be done immediately and then it just wasn't done.
If you close one eye and then the other, it doesn’t look that bad.
The fact that they have any hope left in their lives is their most admirable quality.
Not necessarily.
By the time any death penalty (execution) would actually occur the birth would have ample time to come to term, if it was viable.
That'd be interesting though. I suppose the mother could continue to attempt to abort the pregnancy while incarcerated.
? the deadly force would be used against the pregnant woman thus killing her and the baby
People aren't necessarily good lethal shots. Modem medicine is amazing. And funny enough. That dimwit just might consider that and shoot below the waist. To incapacitate but not kill. This is an important distinction in many jurisdictions.
The irony being the perpetrator of an attempted murder would enjoy freedom while the victim of an attempted murder would be incarcerated.
Ultimately, the value of life is arbitrary.
You’re just kinda, saying words, huh? Like an ai but somehow worse?
It's amazing how people think they can just talk around a point and no one will notice what a coward they are.
