When you reference so-called heartbeat bills, please remind readers that a fetus has a detectable electrical “pulse” long before it has an actual heart or heartbeat.

Has anyone actually thought through the ramifications and realistic consequences of this new abortion bill? Who is going to care for these unwanted babies...perhaps all the women and men that support this legislation (that has little to no affect on their lives) will step up and support and care for these children through college age...if they support more children, they should be required to support the resulting unwanted children born to the unfortunates who can't afford to travel or move out of state.

If you are going to scream to protect unfortunates from themselves, you have to step up and take the responsibility for your actions over the lives of others you so desperately want to protect...otherwise you would have to be considered to be hollow, soulless, irresponsible, whining, childlike idiots...or Trump/DeSantis/Graham/Gulliani...etc... cultists.

You think there are too many homeless now? You think there are too many drug users. Too many shootings? Well do something constructive then instead of adding to the problem...sign a pledge to adopt all these unwanted children and prove why it is so important to SAVE lives that can be productive and law abiding citizens of your MAGA country. Prove that here is true long term concern behind your stated convictions. Educate, feed and care for these 15,000 plus per year infants, Mr and Mrs Floridian DeSantis supporters, to the tune of $20,000 plus per infant per year for 21 years. With 3% inflation per year that would work out to...lets see...15,000 times $20,000 for the first year equals 300,000,000 at the end of the first year. By the end of the 2nd year $900,000,000. By the end of the 3rd year, 2.1 Billion dollars. ( inflation not factored in) These babies you want to save don't just live 1 year, they accumulate and still need to be fed, housed, clothed, monitored, educated, cared for...so they don't end up on the street to survive. Adding to the homeless population problem and cluttering up your life and so on.

Do the math... it's elementary addition 1+3+9 and so on.... and all you have to do is add 0's...hope you have a lot of $'s to afford all those 0's...because once they are born you are going to have to pay for them 21 years going forward....
