I pray that more sensible minds will not allow what the misguided people of Kansas want. "Dead in the Senate" is my hope .
Dead in the senate how? The vote was two years ago.

Let the states decide is one thing but to place it in their constitution where future generations have to get an overwhelming majority is wrong. And I'll say that about the states that put in their constitutions that abortions should be banned. If the states are going to decide then make it so the law can be changed when the populous requires it.
It can be changed when the population requires it, just get the votes. The perfect record of failure of anti abortion votes surely won’t last forever.

No, but viciously murdering a child in the mother's womb is evil, disgusting and WRONG and should be fought for ending as much as poverty. So, stop trying to make this a either or scenario. We Must uplift the poor and struggling middle class so they can live decently (in a happier state than what is given to them now) AND stop performing abortion for selfish reasons (and know I am talking about the 97% of abortions that don't fall under the category of rape, incest or the mother's health, so please do not bring that up as your argument for abortion).
Well said. The most innocent- those in their mothers womb- should be protected.

Life should never be treated as if it’s disposable.

Someone’s basic right to life should never be voted on.

But I guess that’s the evil society we live in.

Makes my heart hurt.

I think the extreme right has abandoned outright fascism, for the "illiberal democracy" concept of minority rule, such as we see in Russia or Hungary.
Mr. Barbarian you know that when something is as evil and disgusting as abortion is to an unborn child, thank God there is a sensible minority to stop the madness. Rights are good things and abortion is not a good thing.

Yet people still scream abortion is about bodily autonomy.

Deplorable.

They aren’t the one being ripped from their mothers womb.

Votings out, what then? That civil war you contend is inevitable?

What? Civil war? I think you’re taking about a different thread, now.

God steps in in times of true stupidity (abortion rights) and has someone rise to the occasion to settle the madness. So, there is always that option .

Roe didn’t cause that to happen but individual states voting will?

Since you don't acknowledge God, I don't think you agree with that assertion.

Fair enough.

Las vegas is still standing, and tell me how did he do with the Holocaust?

Do not bare false witness on regard to the actions of 'god'.
Look, 1) the responses of mine you are commenting on are not mine. My responses are being worded more generously and more milder than what I actually said so I'm not going to respond to your statements because... well, just because .

2) You must not have heard of Sodom and Gomorrah.

3) Who won World War II? Weren't the prison camps liberated?

4) You don't seem to know what "bear false witness" means. Here is some reading for you to do:

I’m trying to understand it. Abortion made legal nationwide, deity makes no move for decades. National protections overturned and a state votes on it then its going to do something?

How do you know he isn't making no move? Do you have the mind of God? Humans been killing each other since the beginning of humanity.

It doesn't mean he doesn't care.

How? Where is the "no you voted wrong so we are ignoring it" option found in the powers of the Kansas legislature?

Lack of anything that could be construed as action on its part.
That's where we disagree.

God can bring good out of the worst evil.

But this isn't a theological discussion, so I won't mention him again.

The question remains from that old post: Where is the "no you voted wrong so we are ignoring it" option found in the powers of the Kansas legislature?
