IF indeed the Catholic Church gave $3mil to defeat the Kansas referendum then the Church needs to be taxed. They have forfeited the right to not pay taxes. They have become directly political. Tax them.

abortion saves greedy corporations a lot of money.....maternity/paternity leave and replacing those workers during that time is expensive

Don't worry, Indiana has that covered. I don't think they offer parental leave.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – Eli Lilly made significant changes to parental leave benefits for its employees.
New mothers, fathers, adoptive and foster parents will now be able to take 10 weeks off from work without missing a paycheck.
A birth mother will also have 8 weeks of paid leave for physical recovery for a total of 18 paid weeks. In addition, all new parents may take 10 weeks of unpaid leave.
The new program takes effect Jan. 1, 2019.
Cummins Maternity & Paternity Leave
12 weeks paid for primary parent, 6 weeks for secondary parent. |

It shows that certain States are concerned with the fetus but don't care about the baby.

Critical thinking may not be their strong suit probably due to the underfunded education system they grew up in. They obviously haven't figured out if they don't have the taxes they can't improve their citizens Health and Welfare.

I suspect the "certain states" you attribute this comment to believe the fetus is a baby.....
I've never heard a pregnant mom refer to the baby inside her as a fetus, though I've been hearing "certain leftists" insisting recently that a baby in the womb is not a baby, maybe this is the plan to change yet another definition.....pete doesn't even consider it life....sooooooo |

Sooooooo
Would I prefer an 80% chance of being born and having 100% chance of being a full citizen with rights, or a 100% chance of being born and a 50% chance of having rights?
It's not hard when you look at it that way.

Well, since you seem to assume all sperm need a life, if you did not know WHETHER you would be conceived, would you support laws against rape, even if they would make your conception less likely?

The Indiana legislature banned abortion because if the Indiana people were allowed to vote, they would've pulled a Kansas.

"Abortion will soon be banned in the state, but there are some exceptions"

The only exceptions are rape, incest, life/health of the mother. Many wanted a complete ban. You can be sure that Republicans will traumatize everyone involved each time there’s an exception.
So now domestic violence is a misdemeanor in Indiana but getting an abortion is now a Class 5 felony.
