I do not believe in abortion as a form of birth control, and I don't think anyone goes into an abortion without some serious thought put into it. But men do not have to carry a child, they just do their thing and then it is up to the woman and that is not fair. We bear the burden. Rape, incest, life of the mother or fetus that is not viable. As my daughters are all educated and left comment on face book of course their Aunts ( hub's family) started to call them satanic and I stepped in and said quit picking on my daughters. I do not insult your children when they post right wing propaganda, I just love them. That stopped the hate for a while.Out My windowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456481267171643227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-80630522309104228032022-06-27T07:45:54.384-05:002022-06-27T07:45:54.384-05:00Very good points.

My point was how is ok to force women to sustain that life. Especially when no one (likely including that anon) would be ok with being forced to sustain life other ways (eg forcing her to give up a kidney). I agree with abortion being necessary when we are talking about womens lives as some Times abortion would be medically necessary. But I go back to the root for me - that any one telling anyone else what they can do with their body is wrong in 2022. Abortion should be a choice (for any reason) and the root for me is that has been taken away by a group of morons. For me yes, the health risk a risky pregnancy creates should allow for abortion choice - but truly any reason the woman deems fit is just as valid for access to abortion. I’m true horrified like many commenters.

They expressed profound anger, disbelief, and shock that state by state, legislators and governor's get to decide what's in their personal medical and mental health best interest when it comes to an unplanned or risky pregnancy. That's what pissed me off about anonymous. It's sickening to hear and read people run around changing the narrative to fit some complex of righteous superiority. And actually, abortions are lower than before Roe v Wade, so facts are not there either. "As of 2017, the rate of legal abortions sits at 13.5 per 1,000 women, the lowest rate ever recorded, according to the Guttmacher Institute."SAMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16485146123969622896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173509801114364154.post-69048986276693571662022-06-27T06:03:10.605-05:002022-06-27T06:03:10.605-05:00Some really think they have the moral high road, y...Some really think they have the moral high road, yet have no problem denying basic health care, housing, food to children and mothers.
