Should a ten day waiting period be instituted for abortions?

Currently, their is a ten day waiting period for your right to own a gun in CA, if rights are subject to these kinds of laws, why cant the state implement them across the board?
Waiting periods for abortions, its for the children.

An abortion is less bad the earlier it is, so obviously not. If it’s early enough, when the clump of cells hasn’t developed a human nervous system, it should be at will. If it’s late enough, when the fetus would be able to survive outside the mother’s body, it shouldn’t happen at all.

Is that going to be the latest talking point? I wonder which it came from, the NRA or the anti-choice crowd. Maybe they’re working together now.

Medical procedures do not require mandatory waiting periods.

in CA, you have to wait ten days to get a gun. A single mom found out the hard way when she testified against a hells angel in Alemeda, she told the cops that he said he was going to kill her and they simply told her they would be patrolling her neighborhood and to call if she saw him.
They killed her son first and made her watch, then her. She needed a gun immediately not in ten days.
Most women know if they’re pregnant or not, whats ten days? I know its a right but so is gun ownership.
Come to think of it, no one should have an abortion unless they have a background check too.

it came from gunchris, he thinks its a great idea, like gun control* is for the children*, so is this!

A background check for an abortion? Now I know you’re not serious.

many states do not require mandatory waiting periods for guns either.
Abortion is a right and gun ownership is a right, lets treat all rights equally.

Well, this is slightly more original than the attempts to parody the arguments put forth by the gun control advocates.

I’ve always found such attempts at parody rather puerile.

I don’t recall too many of the pro gun control advocates on the dope starting threads suggesting that gun control was wrong because owning guns was excellent therapy for people with small penises.

why not? You say you’re in philly? you didn’t hear about this?

when you attack civil rights you attack all civil rights, lets do it!

Surfing and mc riding is better for that then gun ownership, duh! you put both between your legs

Er… you’re aware people need to get licenses through the AMA to practice any form of medicine including performing abortions.

No. There should be no waiting periods at all for abortions. Waiting periods for abortions like other anti-abortion measures have the sole purpose of persecuting women. In the case of waiting periods they are especially harsh to poor women, for whom traveling long distances repeatedly is a major burden.

Guns are not abortions.

No, they are about woman-hating bigotry and nothing else. The anti-abortion movement is composed of scum who care nothing for children or for anything else but the persecution of women.

No, let’s not. Lets make logical, not asinine decisions.

Foeti do not shoot people, so there is no need for a waiting period.

That was neither abortion nor was it indcestuous porn, thus no need for a waiting period.

I would be in favor of a 10 day waiting period for starting another gun control thread on this MB.

Sex-change operations do, I believe; two years at minimum. Understandable, since irreversible.

:dubious: For . . . ?

There’s also the worry that the person may not actually be transsexual, but just emotionally disturbed in some unrelated fashion. Unfortunately at the present the only way they can physically diagnose gender dysphoria is to cut open somebody’s brain and visually inspect certain internal components; which would be crippling or fatal for live subjects. So they feel the need to be extra careful.
