"Why should those that don't, be forced to submit to their belief (what they consider)?"

That's how democracy works

And I wrote the issue isnt about who's paying for those procedures.

You asked what other medical procedures are being voted on. That's all I answered. I have no knowledge or opinion today on who's funding those procedures.

Then why bother appearing like you are debating it?

"It" being whether or not abortion should be in the public eye: I haven't been debating that. I accept that abortion is in the public eye and I join the conversation.

I don't share your assertion that the conversation shouldn't even exist.
 
Why do you need to vote on how I handle my pregnancy or any other woman's pregnancy?

No it's not. Not just because "some people consider it murder." Why do you think 'democracy works that way?'

I asked which access to medical procedures were decided by public policy. See the difference? So...what examples do you have? (that arent about the public funding them.)

It's not about funding. Which I already wrote. Esp re: this issue, since abortion is not funded with taxpayer $.

I do agree the conversation should exist. I questioned why you were involved in that conversation. I dont really buy that you are pro-choice but that's based on a certain evasiveness and lack of commitment. Of course I cant tell you what you believe.

It's as obvious to me as the sky being blue. That's how our government works.

Yes and the Google search answers that question. You're now free to move forward with the point you were trying to make with that question.

Because I want to. Simple as that.

Are you finished asking me all these silly 'why' questions and have an actual argument to build on or should I start treating you like a child who does the same?
...because that's going to look like this:
Me: *says literally anything at all*
Lursa: "...why..."
Me: I don't know, what do you think?
Lursa: <insert opinion>
Me: "Wow you sound so smart!"
Lursa: *feels better, runs along*

People declare things 'murder' just like that? I dont remember that happening in the US.

So again, what are "some people" using to justify telling strangers they're committing murder?

No, I asked for an answer and you gave me a link. If you cant provide a quote that supports you claim, just say so. I shouldnt have to waste my time looking for it in the source.

Sounds like the child you refer to below. If you come to a debate forum with no debate, no one can force you. Surely you realize that?

What would you like to argue? You just told me you were 'going with the flow' and pro-choice.

 

Just voted!! Women will be protecting themselves and their healthcare this year if allowed. I'm fortunate to have it on the ballot this year, sadly, not all women are getting this chance.

This abortion ban has been the driving force behind my vote. Trumps a danger to women in this country.
