Why else would anyone go into politics? LOL.

Well that's a loaded question: men can't get pregnant, they can't have another human gestate inside them, there is no other condition whereby the rights of that other human  become relevant so of course there isn't a similar law because its not needed.

No-one is advocating for women to have tubal ligation either.

It could be even higher than 1 in 3 . That number can't be explained by things like the failure rates of contraceptives, life-threatening pregnancies or deformed or dead foetuses, pregnant mothers with cancer, rapes(these are actual examples given during senate hearings to expand abortion rights on demand). 

Its many orders of magnitude different.

I don't think most people, men or women, are opposed to abortion per se.  Likewise I doubt most are in favour of abortion on demand.  Reasonable people recognize that- at some point in the pregnancy-there are two lives whose rights and future is at stake because that's the nature of the condition of pregnancy.

So then the argument moves to *when* do the rights of the baby over-ride the rights of the mother?  The answer is "It depends".  The answer isn't 'Never".

Thanks to sky news we have "everything has to be left vs right" morons like rusty now trying to turn abortion into a partisan issue in Australia when it never really has been.

Fuck off honestly.

Someone said to Kavanaugh, if he can name any law that is like this over male bodies. He just drowned.

I am not sure why they dont just legislate men must get vasectomies judging by their logic. Seems to be the same outcome, less problems and potential for long term disaster.

Imagine the shit storm.

I find it difficult to believe that women who vote National or Liberal are all carte blanche opposed to abortion. Similarly I doubt many of said voters would not hold feminist ideals about equality.

I have read as many as 1 in 3 women have had an abortion in Australia. Even if were 1 in 5 or 1 in 6 or even 1 in 10 that is still a shitload of woman accessing abortion. It's fairly unlikely they're all Green and Labour party apparatchiks.

For me it comes down to this. You shouldn't be forced to have a baby if you don't want to. 

Guaranteed if men got pregnant not only would abortion be legal it'd be free.

Well, a few days ago  in Melbourne we had pro-abortion activists marching and behaving as if they were in the US, where it IS a partisan issue.

And  you can't say that it isn't a political issue, because it is.  Unfortunately this issue like others in recent time has been hijacked by far Left feminist nutjobs, when most women are not like that and don't share their extreme views on late term abortion.

 As for "My Body, My Choice",  its not talked about much, but how many women would have kept the baby but didn't because their boyfriend was against it.  Quite a lot I'd say.  "My body my choice"? Well, no, not quite,  for lots of reasons.

The country is awash with guns.  The gun control horse bolted a long time ago

And oppose any form of gun control that would save the lives of innocents.

Selective morality at its best.

Hahahaha, so im a right wing evangelical fundamentalist because I disagree with killing babies? No, I just think that killing babies is wrong, especially from the second trimester onwards. 

If a women is unknowingly pregnant and finds out when her contractions begins or water breaks, she can justify an abortion by claiming giving birth will cause her profound mental and financial distress. Then she only needs to find two doctors who sign off and bobs your uncle, one dismembered baby. Most people would find this situation morally egregious, yet this is exactly the kind of murder the state sanctions. Given the laws are fairly new it is not unreasonable to think that late term, third trimester abortions due to personal reasons, change of mind, loss of employment, relationship breakdowns, etc, will become more common in the future, particularly as the current political culture continues to celebrate killing babies as some sort of FU to the patriarchy and embodiment of female supremacy.

She should've shown restraint hey Rusty:

A 10-year-old Ohio girl had to travel out of state to undergo an abortion after she was referred by a child abuse doctor following the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade reversal, the Indianapolis Star reports. Dr. Caitlin Bernard, an obstetrician-gynecologist in Indianapolis, told the newspaper she was the one to take the call from a colleague in Ohio seeking urgent help for the girl, who was six weeks and three days pregnant when the state’s six-week abortion ban suddenly took effect. The girl rushed to get the procedure done in Indiana, which is also expected to severely restrict or ban abortions in the next few weeks after the Supreme Court’s ruling. For now, while the procedure is still legal in Indiana, providers say they’ve seen a surge in patients coming from Kentucky and Ohio. “It’s hard to imagine that in just a few short weeks we will have no ability to provide that care,” Bernard was quoted saying.
