When those arguments come up some people who support making an abortion harder to get back off.
Not because they don't agree. Because they know they'll lose if they do it that way. Now, if the bill becomes law, trying to support the rape argument in court might become more problematic. Then again, it might still work, by appealing to higher level courts.
I do expect you to show how it has actually helped.
Are you really going to quibble over the details of what, precisely, it is that you expect me to do when you cannot?
That would look very much like a win for the left, but when that bill is passed women would still have to get go though and external ultra-sound. Which was the major intent of the bill to start with.
So long as they were not forced to wait, it WOULD be a win. Furthermore, you seem to think that I'm saying you have to EITHER argue that it is rape OR argue that it is an unnecessary procedure meant to make it harder to get an abortion. That is not the case. Once that small victory is achieved, there is nothing stopping people from going for the Grand Prize, which is shitcanning the entire bill. But that might not be reasonable to expect to happen, & something is better than nothing. The problem comes when you attempt to sabotage your own side by comparing a huge amount of your support base to Godwin's Law!
