Why Writing a Simple 5-Line Text For A Abortion Right Is Impossible

 If you approached most lawyers....they'd tell you to avoid a 36-line text for the right.  It needs to be simple and direct.

So, here....do you reference 'birthing-people' or women?  Simple question.....no rocket science.  If you say 'BP's'....more than two-thirds of people will ask you what the hell are writing this way for?  It'll never pass.

Then you need to reference the limit....12 weeks, 14 weeks, 16 weeks, 30 weeks, or all the way up to delivery.  Which do you select?  I can tell you....you might have luck and get 65-percent of people to agree on the 12-to-14 week wording.  If you go beyond that?  It drops by a quarter for 16 weeks, and probably fewer than one-third of the nation would support a 30 week text.

So, here's the deal....it'll never be a right because you can't get the text to be agreeable. 

State by state?  Yes....you can probably talk fifteen states into a fairly liberal position of 16 to 20 weeks.  Maybe three states would word it in a way for 30 weeks.  

Beyond this....nothing is going to happen.  

But this brings me to this odd thing....maybe we should rename the United States into the Fifty States of America (FSA) and let folks know that it's mostly a divided country.  That would relieve us of faking folks into thinking we are one single nation and ruled via a federal system.
