How does banning abortion after 20 weeks create jobs or balance WI’s budget?

This is sure to balance our state’s budget and/or create jobs!

Republicans in the Legislature unveiled a bill Thursday that would ban abortions 20 weeks after fertilization, staking out an approach tried by abortion opponents in other states, where it has resulted in court battles.

Republican Gov. Scott Walker, who is preparing a likely run for the presidency, said in March he would sign such a measure, even though he declined to detail his position on the matter when he ran for re-election last year.

“The purpose of this legislation is to prevent unborn children from feeling pain,” the bill’s sponsors wrote to their colleagues in a memo Thursday.

The bill would make it a felony for doctors to perform abortions at 20 weeks after fertilization. Those who do could be imprisoned for up to 31/2 years and fined up to $10,000.

It’s important to note that as written, the bill banning abortions after 20 weeks makes no exception for cases in which the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.

  1. Well, as opposed to an aborted child, who only creates jobs femporarily for folks in biological waste disposal and what not, a child brought to term will require services and products thereafter, thus creating jobs. And unless they grow up to be progressives or their allies, they may even seek work some day.

    1. I can still see my, “dimples,” in the mirror, when I smile at this dreck coming from the keyboard of the Racine WI store partner that relies on child slave labor in several third word countries for the products they retail. After all what else is human life worthy of than making profits and being used by humans who deem themselves superior to other humans on the planet.

      Do those children have any right to follow conservative or progressive economic philosophies as the come of working age at about 5 or 6 years old? In the US are no conservatives victims of global free trade as opposed to global fair trade?

  2. How many rape and incest babies get aborted after 20 weeks? Why are the victims of such horrible crimes waiting so long to make that decision? We need to get more money for counseling and supportive services so that injured women can get their abortion or the morning after pill well before the baby can feasibly survive on its own.

    1. Blame the victims of rape for being victims of rape. Ever been pregnant?

      So we can read about your generous financial donations to or letters to the editor supporting Planned Parenthood clinics in WI, where, if I might ask?

      1. No blame stated or implied. I’m mearly pointing out that clearly we don’t have enough support and counseling services available to get these incest and rape babies aborted sooner.

        I apologize if my previous post implied blame on the victim. That would be sick and wrong. I just want people to get the support they need to abort these babies.

      2. No blame intended. Just a desire and a wish to see more funding for support and counseling to help these victims abort their incest and rape babies sooner.

        The trauma of carrying an unwanted pregancy caused by incest or rape must be unbearable.

  3. This legislation is to satisfy a political segment.

    If Walker and his legislative gang really do not want to cause pain, they would not have refused Federal funds for healthcare, would not have cut income for unions members and their families, would not have attacked Wisconsin’s educational system with cuts and privatization, would not have increased pollution of air and water with his support of mining.

    All of these and more have not only caused pain to millions in Wisconsin, but potentially their physical or economic death.

    1. Yes, I agree, MOST if not ALL of the policies implemented by walker has led to the death of the citizens of WI.

      He should be tried for genocide. Meanwhile he and his political ilk are attempting to prevent women from lawfully killing their babies after 20 weeks.

      What an absolute monster.

      1. jharp,

        Like most of the forced birthers, you’re lazy. Why aren’t you raising money to adopt a fetus? Contract with the mother to raise him/her in a neo-natal unit and find good parents to adopt. Why aren’t you saving the babies?

        1. Save the babies? I’m fighting against restrictions to kill the babies. Especially babies that are created from insest and rape. Those are the ones that should be killed probably up to 37 weeks. Most of the time the mothers of those babies probably don’t know for sure they have been impregnated untill well after 20 weeks.

          I d I nt want to house and feed babies. Maybe that is what you want. Babies should all be exterminated prior to birth, if that is what the mother wants.

        2. Forced “birther” wow. Nope I want women to be able to kill babies at their own discretion. That is the most humane thing to do for the mothers.

          1. Your completely humorless attempts at satire are disgusting to put it mildly. Your obvious misinformed stereotyping of a political “class of people,” we people not trying to make or force any woman’s decision for her about her own health and her own body, only reflects your open hate and abusive nature toward women.

            Totally lost on you, myself and nobody I know who belongs to any political persuasion is for abortions. But people I hang out with support affordable women’s’ health care and open access to sex education and affordable means for birth control and family planning which ultimately leads to the fewest possible abortions performed amongst our population.

            Put a sock in it and put a rain-coat on it, and kindly do humanity a favor and don’t inflict/infect the human gene pool with your progeny. As you seem to favor dictators controlling women’s choices, maybe we should force you sociopaths to be surgically or chemically sterilized. Reading your comments, it appears lobotomization has already been successfully accomplished.

            (my apologies for the double post)

            1. Being able to kill babies at any age of gestation as long as they haven’t been passed through the vaginal canal or been removed surgically through a c-section should absolutely be the right of the mother. No question there. 100% of aborted babies would agree if they could that it is the mothers right to terminate their life.

            2. And seriously… you honestly believe that the women that get multiple abortions don’t have sex education training???

              Whatever validates baby killing I guess.

              I don’t believe in abortions for myself or my family either however suggesting that the bulk of abortions are due to rape or insest is insulting to all is the dead babies oUT there. I’M not ANTIWOMEN but you go girl! I DO ENJOY YOUR HUMOR AND WIT.

            3. “nobody I know who belongs to any political persuasion is for abortions” says non, incredibly.

              Yet you clearly aren’t against abortions and those of your “political persuasion” have successfully purged the ranks of anyone even remotely against abortion.

              Or perhaps you are against abortion but just don’t want to do anything about it. Very brave.

              But most likely you just derive some pleasure knowing that some conflicted woman somewhere is about to have here childs’ limbs torn apart and skull crushed for her convenience. Hey, whatever it takes to get in good with the ladies. The “progressive ones” that is. Assuming you are a straight male that is, not that there is anything wrong with that.

              1. Thanks Denis for pointing out the obvious on Non’s post. Yes He/She knows NO ONE of ANY political persuasion who is IN FAVOR of ABORTIONS…

                Unless of course it is one of the millions of babies that are ABORTED because of RAPE and INCEST AFTER 20 weeks. Of Course everyone should be in favor of Aborting those babies as late as possible to insure that the abused victim can carry it up until the last possible moment.

                NON you are super funny!!!

            4. NON, you honestly believe that women don’t know how babies are made?

              You honestly believe that anyone on this site thinks that you don’t know anyone who supports abortion. What a pathetic comment to make to shift blame. You are so moral NON. I commend you.

  4. From the “smaller government,” adherents commenting here who have yet to figure out the difference between a baby or a gestating fetus, (these terms are not medically interchangeable) or, hearing from the entity that says blaming victims of rape isn’t blaming the victims of rape when it states, (May 8, 8:03 am above) “Why are the victims of such horrible crimes waiting so long to make that decision?” and then goes on to seemingly call for increased support for these women (which based on its following comments we can understand now was lying and an intentional sick attempt at satire) we get just another attempt by these compulsive fanatics needing to compel others to obey their repressive religious beliefs with a sharia-type law in our state. They will make you obey their beliefs or you will suffer punitively. Historical term, “inquisition,” appropriate here?

    This morning @ 8:12 am the right-wing misogynist and regular BB troll presumes it likely that only a straight male could be capable of having any opinion on the matter of abortion, while neither correctly reading nor comprehending, but never-the-less ascribing his own religious beliefs to interpreting my comments. To be totally expected of such rabid religious believers.

    And with a second accusation (blaming) of women (May 9, 9:37 am), “And seriously… you honestly believe that the women that get multiple abortions don’t have sex education training???” while claiming absolute dominion over his family (can we then assume a female spouse?) lies about its desire to control women. Of course controlling women is, “supporting and loving,” then, in its mind.

    From a year ago an excellent explaination to mindset the current pending anti-abortion legislation these American religious fanatics want to impose on all of us. Worth a read:

    http://www.progressive.org/news/2014/01/186821/huckabees-libido-patrol-march

    “Although women rightly feel targeted by this increasingly bizarre, archaic battle over birth control, the larger war is about God’s plan for sex. It doesn’t matter that declining birthrates around the globe are inexorably linked to rising standards of living. Or that giving a woman control over how often or when they conceive expands their opportunities, improves their lives and renders “libido control” a non-issue. Or that millions upon millions of men have benefited mightily from women’s willingness to take on that responsibility — one made so much easier by the advent of The Pill.

    1. Oh Non!!! I hang on your every word!

      Interesting how you reference an article that suggests murdering babies is a “form of birth control” exactly my point of course.

      But since you no nobody, including yourself that is actually for abortion I wonder who exactly is in support of such birth control measures.

      I again will ask you the question, where are these women who get multiple abortions that don’t know how to prevent pregnancies. I’m shocked that the health care providers who are providing the abortion services for the first pregnancies don’t mention that inserting semen into a vaginal area during sexual intercourse can lead to pregnancies that must be aborted.

  5. Wow! WOW! W O W!

    I agree, clearly babies aren’t babies until they exit the womb after full gestat ion of 40 weeks. Anytime before that, those of us that aren’t vile pieces of shit, should do everything they can to give mothers full access to terminate their pseudo lives.
