I believe they had the choice to either get surgery to not have a kid, use condoms, or birth control, or just not have sex at all. But they decided to ignore the consequences and got stuck with a baby, and now people want to abort it?
The way you word it makes me seem like I'm thinking unlogically, but these people had plenty of choices and they already chose, so now it's time to stick by their decision.
Almost. The question is, who makes you Grand Arbiter in deciding when the freedom of choice ceases?
I fail in understanding why those holding to anti-abortion beliefs are still so zealous. As it stands in this country, abortions are not generally performed past the 22nd week of pregnancy, and abortions performed past this point are all together illegal in several states. More to that, it is my understanding of the issue that fetus viability during and before the 22nd week of pregnancy is near 0%.
Assuming the above to be true, it appears we as a society have recognized that at some point during a pregnancy, the fetus becomes a human and can survive outside the womb, albeit mechanically. Having recognized the problem of killing pre-natal humans, abortion regulation has been dialed to the point where humans aren't being killed in the womb and the freedom of a woman to choose, over the course of 5 months, whether or not to undergo an abortion procedure remains intact.
Having reached this point, it seems to me that any further push by the anti-abortion crowd truly is an encroachment against women's rights; and to make any further push demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of freedom. If it helps, try thinking of your, my, and everyone's freedom as your dinner plate when you were a kid; you might not like everything on it, but you have to clean that plate up if you want to stay strong and healthy.
