Would it not make sense for you guys to all around support a viability standard to the cutoff for abortion? Scientifically it makes sense as the fetus, at that point, would be able to survive outside the womb. I think it’s completely reasonable to fight for the rights of actual viable fetuses.
Logically, wouldn’t it be better to support the viability line nationally rather than leave it up to the states, which would lead to blue states legalizing it further and further down the line, where you would argue for its personhood?
If your argument that the fetus pre-viability is to also be protected, I ask what you can legally do when a woman than has a miscarriage. Can you then prove that the miscarriage was natural or intentional? What legal standard would be applied in such circumstances? Women still need to get an abortion when miscarriages happen, or else they die, so would abortions be allowed then? I mean the fetus would be dead at that point.
No educated person would argue that a fetus is physically part of a person, but if you argue that it doesn’t have physical, mental, and hormonal effects on a woman you’re simply wrong.
For those that say and advocate for celibacy until marriage, what about if something unexpected happens during the pregnancy, maybe a family member dying, them getting kicked out of their place of residence, why not support a pre viability abortion, therefore they can adequately be ready next time.
If your argument is from the perspective of it not being constitutionally protected, I assume you’d like to then repeal all laws that aren’t expressly stated in the constitution like gay marriage, and yes, i know the right to life is in the constitution, but so is freedom, that of which a womens would be restricted if forced to Carry to term. The freedom to vote, the freedom to protest, and the pursuit of happiness is all in jeopardy when a women isn’t ready for a child.
Now post viability, I agree, these fetuses have the same rights as every other human live, the right to life, the right to speech and protest, but if that fetus cannot live outside it’s mother, the mother that if forced to carry the term it is actively hindering, than it’s not only logical but morally okay to have an abortion.
