Do you believe that bodily autonomy is an absolute right? If your answer is yes then do you believe a woman should be legally allowed to drink and/or do drugs during pregnancy to purposely inflict a disability on the unborn child? On bodily autonomy - yes. I'm not sure if there are any laws on the books on your second question, but a person's rights ends where other person's begins. If the baby will be carried to term it becomes a person, then yes, it should be illegal. If it's going to be aborted, then who cares?
Maybe nobody would've 'cared' if James Harrison was born or not...but if his mother had aborted him, 2.4 million babies would've died in a 60-year span as a direct result.

Meanwhile, away from the increasingly theocratic States, and the ascendancy of the anti-feminist fundamentalist Lifers there, in the UK there is a different direction of travel where

the increasingly theocratic States God save the king. There is no shortage of people in the states who aren't happy with the current abortion laws. I haven't checked any polls, but I would guess the numbers are higher in the US than the UK. "55% against women being prosecuted" seems low, or at least lower than it should be IMO. |

God apparently doesn't want to. The King has cancer. |

Anybody else just a little curious why these 'experts' in a totally legitimate and lifesaving field of necessary medical procedures, just tapdance around very basic questions they should have no problem answering? It tends to imply that either they have no idea what they're talking about or, like criminals, they deny what they can't admit and only admit what they can't deny. And for a legitimate lifesaving medical procedure, why would there be anything they can't just openly admit to, or don't WANT to openly admit to? Medicine has never been a pretty industry, so shouldn't providing facts about saving lives trump 'oh I don't like the word you used so I'm just not going to answer'?

No. Considering the way you ask, I definitely do not want to know. Obviously they have a right not to answear to bullying. You use negative terms, but these do not prove disingenuity. The accusation must be backed with something more elaborated imho. By the accuser. (You) |

I guess now pro-aborts who for years have pretended that women can't get Plan B, it's so hard, they don't know where to look, it's too expensive, it's not like it's RX free, it's NOT like it's advertised on TV every single day telling women 'if you're not ready for kids, take this pill', girls have NO idea it exists, it's not like it's in every pharmacy, Walmart, etc. etc., are now going to have to pretend that Olivia's on a double secret tour that NOBODY can find out where the concerts are to get the Plan B.

I guess now pro-aborts who for years have pretended that women can't get Plan B, it's so hard... As I understand it, anti-abortion activists are citing the ancient Comstock Act as they seek to criminalize the act of sending abortion pills through the mail. (It could also end up having widespread consequences for those trying to access mifepristone—a group that includes patients having miscarriages. The drug is sometimes prescribed to increase the likelihood that these patients won’t need to undergo a more invasive procedure. So yes, things could get hard. www.smithsonianmag.com/history/comstock-act-transform-abortion-debate-180982363/ |

We were told 'abortion is the HARDEST decision a woman ever makes in her life and it's NEVER made lightly'.
We were told 'abortion is MOSTLY done for rape/incest and life-or-death emergencies, women DON'T just get them to convenience themselves'.
