@blue_prop K. But do they have nukes and jet fighters?

If not we have to keep collectively poking them, I guess.

@gypster2004 Careful. Thomas Aquinas might take a swing at you.

@justinamash @LibertarianMama K, but now that he has acknowledge the asymmetric elephant in the room... when are we getting our jet fighter stimulus package?

@chernobylurmom @Emilinalala @HedwigGraymalk @Heather4amazon @MelJonesladadee @AbortionChat The logical consequence of the viewpoint you advocate is necessarily one of controlling a woman's body.

What would the state need to eminent domain to ensure maximal survival odds of the zygote, blastocyst, embryo or fetus?

The answer is "most of the mother's body".

@chernobylurmom @HedwigGraymalk @Heather4amazon @MelJonesladadee @Emilinalala @AbortionChat I have to go get ready for work now. I'll check the conversation if it's still going at lunch.

Be well, all.

@Emilinalala @chernobylurmom @HedwigGraymalk @Heather4amazon @MelJonesladadee @AbortionChat Ah, they are including implantation failure. CDC does not, for whatever reason they define the pregnancy as only beginning with implantation. I think they cite the ACOG definition, actually.

[Ben Guernsey @DisgruntledBG]

@chernobylurmom @Heather4amazon @HedwigGraymalk @Emilinalala @MelJonesladadee @AbortionChat Yes.

[Ben Guernsey @DisgruntledBG]

@Emilinalala @chernobylurmom @Heather4amazon @HedwigGraymalk @MelJonesladadee @AbortionChat Honest to goodness "lol"'ed at that. Scared my dog. :P

@chernobylurmom @Emilinalala @Heather4amazon @HedwigGraymalk @MelJonesladadee @AbortionChat This... this is going to take a while, huh? Spaceships are natural. Bridges. That rock over there. That other rock that a chimp smashed until it had a sharp edge. Eggs are natural. Poached eggs. Scrambled eggs. Sunny side up. Deviled eggs don't actually have any devils in them.

@Emilinalala @chernobylurmom @HedwigGraymalk @Heather4amazon @MelJonesladadee @AbortionChat I'm not sure about that number. About half of all zygotes fail to implant.

From what I've read from the CDC, it's between 5-15% fetal, neonatal and perinatal mortality. (Black mothers are like three times as likely to have unwanted pregnancy loss). :/

@chernobylurmom @Heather4amazon @HedwigGraymalk @Emilinalala @MelJonesladadee @AbortionChat Huh. That is weird. Considering at no point in GSKs manufacturing process do they open a portal to an unfathomable dimension and channel mystical energy into their pharmaceuticals.

Or, if they do, they keep it secret, I guess.

[Ben Guernsey @DisgruntledBG]

@chernobylurmom @HedwigGraymalk @Heather4amazon @MelJonesladadee @Emilinalala @AbortionChat No. Women abort wanted pregnancies to save their lives, to save the lives of another fetus they are gestating (happens with IVF a lot more frequently), because the fetus will never attain viability... way more reasons than will fit in a tweet.

@chernobylurmom @HedwigGraymalk @Heather4amazon @Emilinalala @MelJonesladadee @AbortionChat Miscarriages, induced or spontaneous.

[Ben Guernsey @DisgruntledBG]

@chernobylurmom @HedwigGraymalk @Heather4amazon @MelJonesladadee @Emilinalala @AbortionChat All. The. Time.

Seriously, have you even looked into this at all? Abortions occur while the pregnancy is still desired literally all the time.

[Ben Guernsey @DisgruntledBG]

@chernobylurmom @HedwigGraymalk @Heather4amazon @Emilinalala @MelJonesladadee @AbortionChat Of course.

[Ben Guernsey @DisgruntledBG]

@chernobylurmom @Heather4amazon @HedwigGraymalk @Emilinalala @MelJonesladadee @AbortionChat Yes? Do you not? Do you think it was gifted to us by Hermes, god of the apothecaries?

[Ben Guernsey @DisgruntledBG]

@chernobylurmom @HedwigGraymalk @Heather4amazon @MelJonesladadee @Emilinalala @AbortionChat That abortion is the consequence of a lack of prevention?

If that were necessary and sufficient, spontaneous abortions would automatically occur in women when those conditions arose.

Abortion is the process of expelling a nonviable fetus.
