[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The abortion issue goes beyond the actual medical procedure. It’s a freedom issue because it’s government overreach (something “conservatives” claim to care about). It’s an economic issue because being forced to carry an unplanned pregnancy keeps women from participating in the workforce (even if only for 6 weeks) and hurts our economy which we all benefit from. It’s an education issue because the majority of young women forced to carry unplanned pregnancy don’t go to higher education (which then impacts the jobs they can get which then hurt the economy). It’s a health issue. Just read the stories of women losing their fertility and worse because “exceptions” are vague at best. it’s a health access issue, because where strict abortion bans exist, OBGYNs are leaving and hospitals are closing. And it’s a CRIME issue. Women are most at risk from domestic abuse in pregnancy.[/quote] It’s also a MURDER issue. It literally puts an end to a developing human life. In 38 out of 50 states, if a pregnant woman is killed along with her unborn child, the offender can be charged with double homicide. Why? It’s a life because the mother/family *wanted* that baby? So human life has value on a sliding scale that is dependent on who takes that life? …and we’ve decided that if a random stranger/violent criminal does the job, it’s murder? But if the mother is responsible for killing her unborn baby, that gets the stamp of approval? Ick. . [/quote]
