The 0th Amendment: Abortion!

someone on this site, i think FromWithin, says that republicans proposed an abortion compromise that democrats rejected: that abortion be legal in the first 2 trimesters, and even legal in the 3rd trimester in some circumstances .i dont know why democrats would reject that, i guess they figured there was no need to compromise since it was already legal .

but now there is a need to compromise !who knows what kind of wackos donald trump will put on the supreme court who will undermine this basic human right !so let us add abortion to the bill of rights while we still can .

Amendment 0 - Abortion

A well planned family, being necessary to the happiness and stability of a free State, the right of a woman to have an abortion in the first or second trimester for any reason, shall not be infringed.

Yes, do it

I don't believe he would actually support the amendment at all.

Typically I would leave this to the Supreme Court to decide. But since your proposal should really really bug FromWithin and others like him then sure, pass your Amendment.

Side: Yes, do it

So the death penalty is inhumane, but killing the innocent garners thunderous liberal applause? And you wonder why we think liberalism is a mental illness...

Murdering your child is not a human right. The zygote has a right to live, whether it is an accident, born of rape, poor, crippled or retarded. Abortion is an extremely selfish action that's primarily justified with the argument that a zygote is not a person, the same argument that people have, made throughout history when trampling people's rights for their own selfish gain. Abortion should only be allowed if the mother's life is threatened by childbirth.

Zygotes, are technically not people, rather a mere set of tissue within the uterus. This isn't just about the life of the child, it's about the life of the mother. Also, it's not even guaranteed whether the baby will live. I see your argument as selfish and close-minded because you are not seeing the factor of how this might endanger the mother. Additionally, it is not right to allow violence in this country, right? So rape is then considered a violent crime, not a sex offense. These decisions are guaranteed to women by the 9th Amendment under Roe v. Wade, and reinforced with the right to privacy, also guaranteed under the 9th amendment.

A sperm cell isn't alive, you're right. However, a sperm and egg combined, making a zygote, does have a right. Life begins at conception

Side: No way

The Constitutional hurtle created by abortion is due to the self-incrimination created by the word abortion. A woman can have and a Doctor could have performed a Gender Specific Amputation without making the same self-incriminating confession publicly.

What if that baby grew up to make the world a better place? You would never know if you took it upon yourself to end it's life.

How about closing one's legs like that actually prevents pregnancy?

That is not very good reasoning. Let me see if I have this straight: All babies have potential, therefore, everyone should get pregnant? That's not was the person was saying. They were saying that babies that are conceived shouldn't be killed.

Side: No way
