By 1965, all fifty states banned abortion, with some exceptions which varied by state: to save the life of the mother, in cases of rape or incest, or if the fetus was deformed. Groups like the National Abortion Rights Action League and the Clergy Consultation Service on Abortion worked to liberalize anti-abortion laws.
The Supreme Court 1973, in the case of Roe v. Wade, declared most existing state abortion laws unconstitutional. This decision ruled out any legislative interference in the first trimester of pregnancy and put limits on what restrictions could be passed on abortions in later stages of pregnancy.
*** I talk a lot about my teenage mom. Well I was born March 1973.****
The court issued its decision on January 22, 1973 in regards to Roe v. Wade
Interesting that my own little ole life may actually have to do with this case being so active during my mama's pregnancy. hmmmm.
I have really never thought about that before until right NOW.
I am never going to ask her though. What a yucky conversation to have with my mama.
Well I only got to see the first one today. It sounded pretty good, and of course I knew it would need a bit of work. But unfortunately, it is just TOO big of a project for me to undertake. If I were a handyman of sorts, it might be a great project. But I could tell that it would require a lot of time and perhaps a good $50,000 worth of improvements.
It's a lot, though not out of reach based on the asking price....
But honestly, when it is all said and done I can find things for the same amount of total investment that are move-in-ready. So it doesn't really make much sense. That one is off the list. I'm not the slightest bit discouraged however. I've just started, after all, and I'm not in any kind of real hurry. I just would LIKE to buy something before year's end.
i can appreciate your stance on the abortion issue as well as your reasoning for your opinions. I even agree with you on a lot of it. But I myself am pro-choice. For all the reasons that Twinace mentioned above and because I am afraid a ban on abortion would lead us back to persecution of women for their "reproductive sins." I am also afraid of the all the backdoor butchers that would inevitably surface.
I would also like to see this country hold men as accountable for supporting children as women. Right now, my "baby daddy" can throw shit at me that costs me time and money, but the state has only been able to shake him down for about $500 to $1000 a year. Daycare is $640 a month! And that with me constantly going down to the child support office and waiting and filing paers. As long as he gives me something his ass is in the clear. All the money he owes me is just ink on paper, unless I hire an expensive lawyer to prove that he has a pretty successful under the table business. More time and more money for me.
