John Legend on abortion law boycotts: 'Money talks'

"Particularly when these studios are hiring people and bringing people to the state and saying, 'Come work with us here in this state,' but if you get pregnant there you're going to be treated like a second-class citizen,"

That's the most silliest comment I've heard from the pro-abortion crowd, there wont be any second class treatment of pregnant women full stop in any of these states.

the idea that any state would get involved in making a reproductive decision for a woman "is just unconscionable to me.

The abortion industry is subsidised by the taxpayer, taxes are collected by the state - its that simple unless the abortion industry becomes self funded until then the States are entitled to get involved. Its the same silly argument feminists love throw around when men make comments, again the abortion industry is subsidised by the taxpayer and net taxpayer in society are men, men are entitled in having a say in how their hard earned money is spent.

John Legend gets involved with this stuff for one reason - publicity. His music sales have tanked, as have ticket sales.

No actual babies are being killed.

What is abortion?

I do wish people (men) would stop laying that guilt trip on women.

If they didn’t do anything wrong they wouldn’t need to feel guilty about it.

May the innocent and babies win the brutal war against them by heartless organizations like Planned Parenthood who profit off vulnerable women.

And may every pregnant woman, planned or not, receive every bit of support they need to help them do the most noble and difficult job in the world, bearing our future generation.

I don't care if people want or need abortions. It's their choice. But there is zero reason for anyone to expect the government i.e. taxpayers to pay for it. If you don't want men choosing for women (my body, my choice), then don't suddenly think it's ok for the government to get involved.

The difference between this and the gay-bakery case is the issue of discrimination. Boycotting these states have nothing to do with discrimination, it rests on the believe that a woman's body is hers and that life doesn't start at conception or with a heartbeat.

I don't believe life starts that early, I don't believe any babies are being murdered. I think people are free to feel that way, but I'm horrified to see the consequences this have on real people. No one gets an abortion for fun - it's a hard decision, based on love for a hypothetical child you know you can't take care of. There's even evidence that abortion lowers crime rates, because unfit parents don't have to become parents and raise a child with high probability of being criminal.

it rests on the believe that a woman's body is hers and that life doesn't start at conception or with a heartbeat.

I'm on the border here. If you could explain to me exactly when life begins, it would help me a lot.

I would agree with you that in the very early stages after conception 'no actual babies are being killed'. I would describe that abortion act as an unfair denial of an opportunity to have a life by people who do have a life.

But, the level of violence against the unborn and denial of thier rights gets more severe very rapidly. A 12 week fetus has every human feature as well as internal organs. They can survive outside the womb as early as 24 weeks. A 40 week fetus is as human as a newborn, but can be legally aborted in some places.

So, to be fair, the severity of the crime starts off comparatively minor but rising quickly to murder of a human.

So, I ask you the following re abortion at various stages....

1: Don't you think it is wrong to deny a pre-heartbeat (up to 6 weeks) fetus the opportunity to live by violently destroying it and removing it from its mother’s womb?

2: Don't you think it’s a crime against an unborn child if at 3 months, it is violently dismembered, the remains vacuumed from its mother’s womb and thrown in the trash can?

3: Don't you think it’s crime against an unborn child if at 9 months, it is violently dismembered, the remains vacuumed from its mother’s womb and thrown in the trash can?

Looking forward to your reply.

Instead Laws that are agnostic towards religion should be common place, and enforceable everywhere.

@Jonorth

it's a hard decision

If the baby is just a blob of tissue with no rights, why would it be 'a hard decision'?

The separation of Religion and Politics should be enforced by a Global Law.

The laws of a Land should not be governed by Religion enforceable by Laws of that land, except towards those who adhere to that Religion.

Funny when guys join in the abortion debate. Same ones who want control of it are the same who would deny any access for women to debate if it's men getting sterilized or castrated.
