What is your stance on abortion?

Abortion is a medical procedure resulting in the termination of a human pregnancy and death of a fetus. In India abortion is only available to women who have been raped, whose pregnancy poses a risk to their health or there is a risk that the child will be born with a severe handicap. The procedure is only allowed within the first twenty weeks of pregnancy.

Kamala’s Warning: ‘Unhinged’ Trump Seeks Dictatorial Power in 2024

Kamala Harris has attacked Donald Trump for seeking “unchecked power” if he wins the White House again, placing what she described as his threat to American democracy at the heart of her closing argument to voters less than two weeks before the presidential election.In a rare statement from the vice-president’s residence in Washington on Wednesday, Harris attacked Trump for being “increasingly unhinged and unstable” and said there would be no “guardrails” to restrain him during a second term in office.Harris’s comments were a reaction to comments in The New York Times from John Kelly, Trump’s former chief of staff, who said the ex-president was an “authoritarian” who admired Adolf Hitler and fell into the “general definition of fascist”.“The bottom line is this: We know what Donald Trump wants. He wants unchecked power. The question in 13 days will be, what do the American people want?” Harris said in her brief remarks.The Democratic candidate was speaking before heading to Pennsylvania for a televised town hall on CNN, while Trump was campaigning in GeorgiaThe Trump campaign rubbished Harris’s comments as “desperate” and “easily disproven”.Polls put the two candidates in one of the tightest White House races in recent memory, leaving both vying for a closing message that wins crucial undecided voters.While President Joe Biden frequently referred to Trump as a threat to democracy before ending his re-election bid in July, Harris’s pitch had focused instead on defending personal freedoms, such as abortion, and economic benefits for the middle class, often dismissing Trump as unserious and bizarre.

Republican Heartland Embraces Abortion Rights Amid National Fight

Voters in seven states approved ballot amendments establishing a right to abortion in their state constitutions, continuing a broad repudiation of the abortion bans enacted since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.Missouri, which was the first state to officially enact an abortion ban after Roe was overturned in 2022, became the first state where voters ended a ban at the ballot box, with 52 percent approving the measure. A similar amendment passed by 57 percent in Montana, another Republican-controlled state. In two battleground states, Nevada and Arizona, measures to enshrine a right to abortion passed, with more than 60 percent of the vote for each.But the abortion rights movement also hit its limits, stalling in what had been a winning streak on ballot measures post-Roe, as voters in three Republican-controlled states, Florida, South Dakota and Nebraska, rejected amendments that would have established a constitutional right to abortion.Even as they hailed their victories, abortion rights supporters warned that the second Trump administration could use federal power to essentially invalidate the new state-level protections.President-elect Donald J. Trump boasted on the campaign trail of having overturned Roe — he appointed the three justices who helped swing the court majority. And anti-abortion activists have laid plans for a second Trump administration to use existing federal statutes to ban abortion pills, and to use the 14th Amendment to establish fetal personhood, which would effectively criminalize abortion at any stage of pregnancy. A Republican-controlled Congress could look to pass a federal abortion ban.Opponents of abortion rights looked at the results and saw victory. “Supported by the abortion industry and its allies, Harris and Walz campaigned with fanatical fervor on abortion — and the voters rejected them,” said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life.And Democrats who hoped that support for ballot measures would also lift their candidates to victory were largely disappointed.The groups backing the winning measures, however, said the victories even in states that went solidly for Mr. Trump were a clear signal that most Americans, regardless of party, age or gender, do not want the government restricting abortion.Republican Heartland Embraces Abortion Rights Amid National Fight

Congress Calls Trump's Gaza Plan "Bizarre And Incoherent"

Trump proposed unprecedented U.S. control of Gaza Strip during a White House press conference with Netanyahu, suggesting "long-term ownership" that could last 10-15 years.The plan calls for nearly two million Palestinian residents to permanently relocate to neighboring countries, marking a dramatic shift from decades of U.S. policy.Congressional leaders from both parties expressed skepticism, with even Trump ally Lindsey Graham calling the proposal "problematic."Middle East experts, including former Palestinian Authority advisor Khaled Elgindy, criticized the plan as "bizarre and incoherent."White House officials argue mass relocation is the only viable option and seek to convince Egypt and Jordan to accept displaced Palestinians.The administration estimates Gaza reconstruction would take 10-15 years, far longer than the 3-5 years outlined in cease-fire agreements.The proposal lacks clear details on how to handle Palestinian resistance to relocation or potential U.S. military deployment.Saudi Arabia immediately rejected the plan, stating it wouldn't normalize ties with Israel without a clear path to Palestinian statehood.Trump expressed uncertainty about the current cease-fire's durability while presenting his proposal.The plan faces significant implementation challenges and could complicate other regional objectives, including Israel-Saudi normalization efforts.

Jon Stewart Begs Democrats To ‘Please Stop Trotting Out Chuck Schumer!'

Jon Stewart criticized Democrats for repeatedly using Chuck Schumer as their spokesperson against Trump, calling his performances ineffective and monotonous.Stewart mocked Schumer's response to Trump's trade war threats, particularly his simplistic explanation about Mexican imports like Corona beer and avocados.The former Daily Show host expressed frustration at Schumer's basic observation that "guacamole is made of avocados" as a response to complex trade policy issues.Stewart sarcastically highlighted the Democrats' poor strategic choice in selecting Schumer to counter Trump, whom he described as "one of the most savvy presidential media manipulators in history."The comedian ridiculed Schumer's appearance and presentation style, particularly mocking his use of reading glasses positioned low on his nose.Stewart's criticism centered on the Democratic leadership's judgment in repeatedly choosing an "uninteresting" and "monotone" spokesperson.The commentary addressed Trump's threats of tariffs against Canada and Mexico, though focused more on the Democratic response than the policy itself.Stewart used hyperbole to emphasize his point, stating that Schumer's speaking makes him "want to bomb Canada."The piece highlighted the perceived disconnect between Democratic messaging strategy and effective opposition to Trump's policies.Stewart's criticism suggested a broader frustration with Democratic leadership's media strategy and public presentation.
