Nearly two years after Texas' six-week abortion ban, more infants are dying - lemm.ee

Some 2,200 infants died in Texas in 2022 – an increase of 227 deaths, or 11.5%, over the previous year, according to preliminary infant mortality data from the Texas Department of State Health Services that CNN obtained through a public records request. Infant deaths caused by severe genetic and birth defects rose by 21.6%. That spike reversed a nearly decade-long decline. Between 2014 and 2021, infant deaths had fallen by nearly 15%.

There were 55,175 baby murders in 2020 in Texas, before the law went into effect. If we stopped 228 baby murders with the laa, thats good.

Abortion is not murder.

Yes it is. Its a delibrate action with the intent to kill someone. How is it not murder?

Independent life doesn’t begin until after birth and after the first breaths. Before then, the embryo/fetus is a parasite to the mother.

Flour, eggs, water, and milk is not a cake, even when combined in a bowl. Sperm is not a person. An egg is not a person. A fetus is the equivalent of cake batter and your mom licked my spoon.

A fetus is not a someone. Do you view miscarriages as manslaughter?
Show threaddragonflyteapartyJul 21, 2023
Yes, because now miscarriages are involuntary manslaughter and should be charged accordingly. /s

“Yes it is. Its a delibrate action with the intent to kill someone. How is it not murder?”

By your deeply flawed definition, lethal self-defense is murder, as is combat warfare, as is unplugging a ventilator based on the persons explicit instructions.

I wouldn’t expect more though, given your opinion.

Ok, I didn’t copy and paste the legal definition. Do you actually want me to bother, or are just here to call names?
