29. Late termination is usually done in emergency/urgent medical situations --

Jun 2023

For the health/life of the mother and when fetuses are unviable, etc. Why the FUCK does she feel the need to step into medical decisions and placate the far right?! Does she really think women are carrying fetuses for 8 or 9 month and then terminating for funsies?!

Klobuchar says she supports allowing abortion restrictions in late pregnancy [View all] Polybius Jun 2023 OP

Dammit senator it's between the woman and her doctor. It's nobody else's business Walleye Jun 2023 #1

She's merely echoing Roe v wade, which also allowed some restrictions in the third trimester. pnwmom Jun 2023 #3

Nobody aborts healthy babies in the last trimester without a medical reason. Walleye Jun 2023 #5

No, it's the opposite. She's confirming the REAL position of Roe v. Wade. pnwmom Jun 2023 #8

OK I'll buy that, but did Roe v. Wade prevent women from medically necessary abortions? Walleye Jun 2023 #14

No. Abortions were still permitted to protect the woman's life or health. Ocelot II Jun 2023 #19

No, it did not. And she doesn't believe it should have. This is what she said: pnwmom Jun 2023 #77

If nobody does it without medical reasons, then the restrictions won't matter Polybius Jun 2023 #20

Which means that the R's have been lying when they say Roe v Wade pnwmom Jun 2023 #78

That is where life or health of the mother come in. This is what Roe vs Wade said as well karynnj Jun 2023 #27

That is how Row V Wade ruled Tumbulu Jun 2023 #31

Most would agree with Amy K on this. mzmolly Jun 2023 #2

Roe v Wade agreed with her on this. Abortions on demand till 26 weeks, pnwmom Jun 2023 #4

Important point cilla4progress Jun 2023 #6

Exactly. mzmolly Jun 2023 #12

Yes n/t shrike3 Jun 2023 #98

Exactly. She's saying what the majority of Americans believe NickB79 Jun 2023 #80

MOST women would rather trust their doctors to practice good medicine Warpy Jun 2023 #81

Politicians make laws mzmolly Jun 2023 #87

They are not qualified to micromanage medicine Warpy Jun 2023 #91

Why DarthDem Jun 2023 #7

It's exactly the holding in Roe v. Wade. Ocelot II Jun 2023 #9

Fair. DarthDem Jun 2023 #15

She's just restating Roe v Wade, which is what almost all Democrats support. nt pnwmom Jun 2023 #11

Fair point. DarthDem Jun 2023 #18

I suspect to help define an acceptable Democratic position for herself karynnj Jun 2023 #30

I can't answer the medical questions, but DarthDem Jul 2023 #106

She didn't "make an announcement." She answered the question Dana Bash asked her in an interview. pnwmom Jun 2023 #37

Okay DarthDem Jul 2023 #105

Her answer was that she supported Roe v Wade, same as always. pnwmom Jul 2023 #107

Like pretty much all nationally elected politicians, Klobuchar PatrickforB Jun 2023 #10

Read Roe v. Wade. She's just supporting Roe v Wade, which worked well for 50 years. pnwmom Jun 2023 #13

I agree with you completely. How about this: Walleye Jun 2023 #17

You said it better! Thanks! PatrickforB Jun 2023 #79

YES!!!!! Grins Jun 2023 #102

No one, No body owns my body but me. BarbD Jun 2023 #16

+1000 hamsterjill Jun 2023 #36

that's probably a pretty popular position prodigitalson Jun 2023 #21

Polls show the popular position is even less than 27 weeks Polybius Jun 2023 #22

Gradations of gestation were always the case under Roe. Always. Late termination is dangerous. Hekate Jun 2023 #23

Late termination is usually done in emergency/urgent medical situations -- Sky Jewels Jun 2023 #29

Why the hell do you think she's doing anything other than supporting Roe v Wade, pnwmom Jun 2023 #39

Thus, after 6 months a woman's life is up to the whims of hicks and hacks in state legislatures? paleotn Jun 2023 #42

No, Roe v Wade worked very well for 50 years, and was nothing like pnwmom Jun 2023 #44

This! + 10,000,000!!!! paleotn Jun 2023 #41

Her statement is idiotic on it's face. paleotn Jun 2023 #40

Late terminations are dangerous -- they amount to childbirth, which is itself dangerous Hekate Jun 2023 #43

I agree Rebl2 Jun 2023 #70

She could have been clearer by simply supporting truthisfreedom Jun 2023 #24

Yes she could have but PlutosHeart Jun 2023 #35

She simply stated what Roe v Wade calls for. Apparently some DUers weren't familiar with the ruling. pnwmom Jun 2023 #45

This is what she said, and she's being very clear. pnwmom Jun 2023 #74

Agree... Hope22 Jun 2023 #90

Stop Snackshack Jun 2023 #25

Stop insisting she did anything other than support Roe v Wade. pnwmom Jun 2023 #75

The sticking point is "Who determines what interferes with the life or health of the women?" Midnight Writer Jun 2023 #26

WTF?!?! Sky Jewels Jun 2023 #28

It is what Roe V Wade ruled, before picking on Tumbulu Jun 2023 #32

Senator, one-sided, unsolicited compromise and negotiations is ridiculous mysteryowl Jun 2023 #33

It wasn't a compromise on Klobuchar's part and it wasn't unsolicited. pnwmom Jun 2023 #46

No. Just No. Merlot Jun 2023 #34

RRRRRR!!! paleotn Jun 2023 #38

Repeat after me. Klobuchar merely explained Roe v. Wade. As a lawyer, she probably read pnwmom Jun 2023 #48

"I support allowing for limitations in the third trimester paleotn Jun 2023 #58

What do you think Roe v Wade said? That's what it says, and it worked well. pnwmom Jun 2023 #60

Did your actually read my post? Apparently not. paleotn Jun 2023 #63

The vast majority of us support Roe v Wade AS WRITTEN. And you're not going to find pnwmom Jun 2023 #64

Again, you just don't get it. Read for comprehension please. paleotn Jun 2023 #66

I agree, it doesn't happen. And that's why Roe v Wade worked well. pnwmom Jun 2023 #67

In that we can agree. In my mind Roe served one very important purpose. paleotn Jun 2023 #68

Who doesn't love a politician practicing medicine without a license...? dlk Jun 2023 #47

She's a smart lawyer who can read Roe v Wade and summarize what it says. pnwmom Jun 2023 #49

No one is disputing Klobuchar's credentials or disputing the language of Roe v. Wade dlk Jun 2023 #51

So you oppose Roe v Wade then? I think it worked well for 50 years, pnwmom Jun 2023 #53

This is the problem with Americans, willing to compromise on the issue instead of getting it Bev54 Jun 2023 #50

Or maybe the problem is that some editors write titles merely to get attention. pnwmom Jun 2023 #57

Well they should support getting it out of the criminal justice system altogether. Bev54 Jun 2023 #65

I've wanted to give you kudos on every post in this thread. Thanks for trying!!! erronis Jun 2023 #71

Well, I try. Thank you for noticing. And this is such an important topic. pnwmom Jun 2023 #83

Uh, Amy? There already are restrictions in the stnadard of care Warpy Jun 2023 #52

Amy knows that. She's merely repeating Roe v Wade in response to Dana Bash's question. pnwmom Jun 2023 #54

She's got a pretty good shot at a future nomination as our party's candidate so this may be part CTyankee Jun 2023 #55

possible nominaton maliaSmith Jun 2023 #99

Interesting take. My son agrees with you about Michelle Obama and he is a prosecutor in Brooklyn. CTyankee Jun 2023 #100

I could almost think CNN deliberately wrote this story to stir up disagreements among Democrats. pnwmom Jun 2023 #56

She echoing Repuke talking points. paleotn Jun 2023 #61

No, she wasn't. The Republican talking point is that Roe v Wade allowed abortion on demand all 9 mos pnwmom Jun 2023 #62

She's following Roe v. Wade Kaleva Jun 2023 #84

I disagree. I oppose forced birth at any stage of a pregnancy. SunSeeker Jun 2023 #59

What the fuck is wrong with her? Novara Jun 2023 #69

WTF is wrong with you? Don't jump to your conclusions based on the OP/CNN. erronis Jun 2023 #72

What is wrong with some Democrats? All she's doing is restating Roe v Wade. pnwmom Jun 2023 #73

Post removed Post removed Jun 2023 #76

She just reiterating the law when Roe V Wade stood. Elessar Zappa Jun 2023 #82

IOW, as I see it, slightlv Jun 2023 #85

Never freak out about these sorts of headlines. Everybody should know this by now. betsuni Jun 2023 #86

I disagree with her. roamer65 Jun 2023 #88

What about in situations that almost never happen? Polybius Jun 2023 #89

Should be a decision between the woman and her doctor. roamer65 Jun 2023 #92

That's a position held by maybe 5 percent of the country Showbizkid Jul 2023 #108

Just give it 20 years. roamer65 Jul 2023 #109

Do you have a citation to support that 5% claim? ShazzieB Jul 2023 #110

Same. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2023 #95

Compromising with Right to Lifers only changes our goal posts. This is a medical issue ... marble falls Jun 2023 #93

Goddammit Amy. WhiskeyGrinder Jun 2023 #94

This is pretty standard. Even Roe/Casey restricted abortions in the 3rd trimester Marius25 Jun 2023 #96

Oh FFS ExWhoDoesntCare Jun 2023 #97

OPEN BORDERS!!! Its important to make these pubilc stances LiberalLovinLug Jun 2023 #101

Klobuchar is basically saying bring back Roe v. Wade. riversedge Jun 2023 #103
