Roe v Wade caused the maternal mortality rate to drop drastically while it was in force. The maternal mortality rate has started to go back up in states that no longer abide by the principles of Roe v Wade. Some pregnant women in medical distress have also been turned away from hospital emergency rooms since the Dobbs decision as well.
It is still something that will need to be addressed. If the states don't have sufficient drug treatment programs available for pregnant women, the least they can do is offer drug addicts some sort of long-lasting contraception so they won't expose a fetus to their drugs and face stiff criminal charges.
I think that pregnancy may be the only situation where another living being is physically attached to another person.
The vast majority of abortions are done for the convenience of the mother.
That still does not detract from the fact that Roe v Wade's restraints on the States held the states back from implementing laws that were actually demonstratably harmful to women (via the drastic drop of the maternal mortality rate during Roe v Wade.)
Whatever the reason, that is freedom to control one's life, don't deny that to others just because it would not be your decision.
There is also the case of fetus in fetu. Does anyone have a problem with those being removed?
Likr I have said over and over again, pregnancy is unique and unusual.The vast majority of colonoscopies and amputations are done for the convenience of the patients. Should we allow this to go on?
Once again. I believe it comes down to protection of personhood.
Sorry, I don't just automatically believe the mainstream media.
I disagree.
And then their are the children who are condemned by your choice.
Wnat? I am.
Just happened to have this close to hand, must be Kismet?
I don't automatically believe in alternate facts either I figure that the truth is somewhere in the middle most of the time.
Then where is your support for universal healthcare, free pre-k, childhood support in general. I see this desire for babies to be born, but no support for them once they are here. If you really want to support fetuses as you say, even more important is giving them the support they need once they cease to be fetuses. Sorry, we are not seeing it and so we prefer to leave it up to those who would be bringing these fetuses to babyhood to determine whether they wish to do so. Again, not your decision.
Again, it boils down to personhood and when life begins. And you frankly do not know my history or my lief story.
