As I See It
Let people decide abortion laws
Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos may be on to something. He actually wants to let the people be able to make a decision on an issue important to them. Vos is suggesting Wisconsin hold a referendum on the issue of abortion. You and I and every other eligible citizen would get to cast a ballot, and once and for all decide how the medical procedure should be regulated. Many expect the issue to ultimately be settled by the Wisconsin Supreme Court, but why not let average Wisconsinites have a say? Current state law outlaws abortions after 20 weeks. Under Vos’ plan that would be changed to somewhere between 12 and 15 weeks. So he wants to let voters decide, but the only option is that abortions should be illegal after somewhere between 12 and 15 weeks? Not 16 weeks? Not 17? Not return things to the way they were before? Perhaps that question should be more open ended. Marquette University Law School polls consistently show a majority of Wisconsin residents support legalized abortion. How about asking if abortion should be legal just like it was before the decision to overturn Roe v Wade? That would be letting the people decide.

Abortion is murder in the simplest form. Want to not have a child and not have to make a decision on who gets to live and who doesn’t? Wear a condom!!
Humans are a clump of cells in the womb and out.
I find this topic humorous today as we all get ready to celebrate the birth of Christ this weekend/monday.
Merry Christmas.

It should be multiple choice.
No restriction including while in labor.
You can then pick a range of weeks let’s say: 10 to 15; 16 to 20; 20 to 25. These ranges should not be the final of course.
We can the see how people stand on this subject.
It may give cause to people who callously say the first option: no restriction including labor some pause.
A straight yes or no does nothing.
The Wisconsin Supreme Court will decide in the end and we already know the outcome of the decision.

How about 0 to 3 months old? 3 months to 1 year old? How about 75+ years old?
Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Merry Christmas to you killers.

The majority of WI residents support legalized abortion when [blank]. Shaw conveniently forgets the [blank] part.
They do not support goulish, demonic, unfettered baby killing.
The U.S. already stands practically alone in its liberally allowing of abortions. But the Dems have convinced the Karen’s and their daughters they must have abortions to be real women. Babies for votes.
