It doesn’t “thrust” companies into anything. It does, however, give them another avenue to virtue signal their Democrat politics, if they so choose. Bail money? Seriously?
“Virtue signaling” would be a symbolic gesture that has no real tangible impacts. This is not that.
Good point. Virtue signaling is changing the corporate logo to the flavor of the month. Bail money and plane tickets go far beyond that.
Private organizations are compelled to do neither
Private companies are allowed to do whatever they want as long as they do what you want, huh, Chuck?
If you don’t like what they do, boycott them and spend your money with another company. Just like companies can look around at the laws in play in the states they’re housed in and decide to stay or decide to leave.
That’s how the free market works… and it’s how free speech for companies works in a post-Citizens United world.
Quote: “As a direct result of this ruling, more women will be forced to choose between paying their rent or traveling long distances to receive safe abortion care,” said Mary Kay Henry, international president of the Service Employees International Union.
Hmmm, why not recast that more succinctly, “…more women will be forced to choose between paying their rent or traveling long distances to kill their babies…”
Decisions decisions…
Speaking of decisions, Bob, you ready to pay for all these babies?
And, oh yeah, you’re going to pay. Churches aren’t going to be able to help. Their attendance is dwindling while the needs are rising. Besides, throwing some diapers at the problem is an insult.
More women who need prenatal care and the costs associated with birth on the government dime. More government assistance. More free school lunches. And, guess what, the cycle generally repeats.
You know that’s what you’re signing up for, right Bob? More people who need government assistance?
Joe B uses the specious argument “you ready to pay for all these babies?”
By Joe’s logic, if lack of funds for care is a justification for abortion, you could apply it to senior citizens to justify euthanasia as social security teeters on insolvency . Really want to go there???
I’m not the one who is pushing for social polices that will lead to more people on welfare. The lack of funds for care is a reason people get abortions. It’s unfortunately cheaper to get an abortion than to have and care for a baby.
Strikes me that we could have had a lot fewer abortions if we’d have spent money earlier. The statements out of Huston and Bray – “we’ll couple any action with expanding resources and services to support pregnant mothers, and care for their babies before and after birth” makes my point for me, and is so much garbage. Why not do that 20 years ago if you actually cared about life, fellas, as opposed to any number of tax cuts? Maybe actually care about life as opposed to just throwing some bucks around to fool some voters?
And, funny you mention senior citizens since Indiana allows county hospitals to divert Medicare funds from caring for the old to building shiny new hospitals while the elderly rot to death in bad facilities. Strong pro-life attitude here in Indiana, indeed.
Joe B – Under your scenario why not advocate for as much abortion as
humanly possible!?!? That would solve our problems right??
Churches are dwindling and not helping as much because the federal
government is taking over more and more of the family financial
obligations that the church used to step in to help provide.
.
The government is destroying traditional family formation by taking the father
out of the house pholds. People are now looking to government to subsidize
them.
The church didn’t treat poor people that needed help like crack dealers trying to
get people hooked. The church offered community fellowship along with
spiritual up lifting that enabled people to be strong and better their conditions.
Government ( Dems in particular) are like crack dealers trying to get people
hooked on as many goverprograms as possible to keep them dependent.
The churches don’t do that.
You’re missing my sarcasm.
I’d rather pay the money and have less abortions. I wish we’d have invested in making contraception more available, better sex education, better funding of prenatal care, better access to affordable, decent daycare … 35 years ago. That, to me, is being truly pro-life.
I’d rather we have more people who can get an IUD so they don’t have an unintended pregnancy, in a situation in which the father doesn’t want to be a dad and is going to stiff us all on child support. Less unintended pregnancies will lead to less abortions. Reduce the demand for people getting an abortion, not the supply of abortion clinics.
There’s a study in Colorado which proved this out with IUD’s. Warren Buffett’s foundation paid for it. Republicans shut down more funding because they preferred abstinence be taught instead.
But I’m the only one. Everyone else (seemingly) wants to ban abortion, but also cut social spending. We can’t have it both ways. We are signing up to spend more, not less, which even Huston and Bray acknowledge.
As to churches diminishing, I think there are many factors and I’d put the government well down the list of reasons. Heck, the pro-life hypocrisy I point out … I’d put higher on the list.
https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2015/09/03/437268213/colorados-long-lasting-birth-control-program-for-teens-may-not-last-long
The churches are their own downfall. Their endless lies and hypocrisy have encouraged people to leave in droves. The government didn’t do that, bad church leadership did that. The call is coming from inside the house.
“For those in states with restrictive abortion laws, they could now face big challenges in attracting college-educated workers who can easily move around.” In their zeal to put out a biased article, did the AP ever contemplate that some college-educated workers are not obsessed with killing their offspring?
Some college educated workers also don’t like the idea that their daughter, if raped, should be forced to carry that child to birth by the government based on a religion’s idea of when life begins.
Many of the same people who spent the past few months telling me that their sincerely held religious beliefs meant they couldn’t wear a mask or get a COVID shot, consequences to others be damned, are now telling me that, regardless of what the women may believes, those beliefs are irrelevant and they should be forced to carry the child to term. That the benefit to society outweighs the imposition against the individual … the exact argument rejected not that long ago.
Can’t have it both ways.
Dominic M – The legacy national news media are one big echo chamber
advocating on behalf of the Dems. Don’t expect objective reporting.
The legacy national news media went from liberal bias to leftwing activism.
What happened to legal, rare, and safe???
The pro abortion side over played their hand by demanding NO restrictions.
Yes, because the anti abortion movement has stayed rational. They haven’t gotten more extreme with taking out provisions for rape and incest … and moving to banning any and all abortions from the moment of conception …. oh wait.
They, like the pro abortion folks, are about to find out how much support there are for extreme abortion bans. The previous status quo was a decent compromise for most Americans.
According to Pew, for the entire time since 1975:
Americans who believe abortion should be legal under certain circumstances has ranged between 48% and 61%
Americans who believe abortion should be legal under all circumstances – 21% to 35%
Americans who believe abortion should be legal under no circumstances – 13% to 22%
Pretty clear where the plurality lies. Of course there will be outliers who demand no restrictions, just as there are outliers who demand no access whatsoever. Both are radical positions and those numbers are shown above. The objective of self-governance should be to deliver policies that are aligned with the liberties and objectives of the plurality – it’s really not harder than that.
BTW, if you have a penis, better to ask your wife, girlfriend or daughter what your opinion on abortion should be.
If the courts and politicians hadn’t made such an issue of legalizing KILLING of babies….
Companies wouldn’t be faced with this issue in the first place!
Because companies only care about making money. So whatever the political minority issues is. Which is whoever has enough money to make an impact. That’s what the issue will be right, wrong, or make any sense.
Oh, I don’t understand why we even have them. They are only after their own agenda. Which to do what ever the public wants or the bolters their ego.
