[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Make abortion a federal right until 16 weeks. If states want more than that, that’s their issue and they can decide for the voters of that state. But everyone gets 16 weeks, minimum.

Problem solved. [/quote]

Not even close to problem solved. I had a friend whose baby died at 22 weeks. There was no heartbeat.

If 16 weeks was the law she would have been required to keep the dead baby inside her until the decomposition caused sepsis and posed an immediate risk to her life. That’s barbaric. [/quote]

People who advocate for a ban after 16 weeks either don't know anything about why women have abortions, or they don't care.[/quote]

We certainly know why they have them before 16 weeks though. [/quote]

Yes, we do. These reasons include:

-having a child would interfere with the woman's education, work, or ability to care for dependents
-the woman can't afford a baby now 
-the woman does not want to be a single mother or is having relationship problems 
-the woman has completed her childbearing and does not want more children
-the woman is not ready to have a child

Now, you may not think those are good reasons, but unless it's your uterus, your opinion is irrelevant.[/quote]

So in other words, mostly it’s for sake of convenience, and an absence of forethought to use birth control or a morning after pill.

Cool. Then your abortion should also come with a mandatory tubal ligation, so you never need to worry about a baby cramping your style again.  If I were in charge that’s exactly what the law would be.

You can still have your abortion for sake of convenience, but you’ll never carry another child again after that. [/quote]

Do you know how impossible it is to get a tubal ligation if you are under 35, unmarried and don't have kids? Literally they ask for your husbands permission, tell women they may get married and the man may want children. I have at least 2 friends i know who are children by choice and have struggled to be approved for tubals for a decade! [/quote]
