Fucking Jesus freaks need to just shut the fuck up already. I used to be much more tolerant, but the more time drags on and these lunatics consolidate political power, the more I wish they'd all die in a fire or something equally unpleasant.

Hells yeah.

It's actually 20 weeks, but typically the line for viability is as much as two months later. Regardless, I don't think we should be making bright-line rules based on the world record holder for viability.

I agreed with most of the other stuff you said, though.

This will never pass. Colorado is also the state laying the foundation to legalize marijuana.

The religious wackos mostly stay down in the south eastern part of the state. They are the subject of jokes and ridicule for the rest of us.

uhmm, this article is complete bullshit. THIS is what democracy is. AND Is democracy in action. Maybe YOU dont agree with the policy, but others do, and it is rule by majority, so you have to let the people decide and vote. Good on Colorado for putting it to the people. More things like this that are "A waste of money and time" should be up for votes.

American democracy is far more complex than simple majority rule.

Of course, you're welcome to explain to me exactly how state governments can pass laws that overturn Supreme Court rulings.

I thought this was going to be about Horton Hears a Who

Just because a majority of people in a given geographic region decide that something is true doesn't make it true. This isn't about laws, it's a scientific issue. A fertilized egg is no more a person than an acorn is a tree. It's a cell with a diploid set of chromosomes. Even the bible doesn't go so far as to say that life begins at conception. Take "For the life of the flesh is in the blood" Lev 17:11 for example. A fertilized egg has no blood, so it is not alive by that definition. And, as much as I hate slippery slope talk, a law like this can lead to more places than just outlawing abortion.

HA!

Damn I realize why I left Colorado when I read stuff like that... I am tired o religious idiots trying to force world view that is irrational on everyone else. The funny thing is that those are the same people who do not want to give health care to those babies once they are born.

the states' rights thing worked out so well in the past

That's what you have decided is right for the rest of us? Gee, thanks.

Here's what needs to be done: outlaw pregnancy! Make it illegal to have a baby. Then watch as all the christian right lunatics start using the "it's my body, my choice" arguments. Besides, it's time to let this species die.

It's too bad the cool blue states on the West Coast are so far away from the cool blue states on the East Coast or we could just form a more perfect union already.
