[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]

I’d offer that people who oppose abortion do so because, despite ALL the potential negative ramifications you have cited above (which some will absolutely cede are valid obstacles and concerns)— they feel pretty strongly that society’s “solution” to these issues cannot be the sacrifice of innocent children. 
Why should a civilized society accept the viewpoint that an unborn child must bear the burden of payment for all these circumstances by sacrificing its own life? 
In each and every one of the scenarios above, follow the sentence with “….so just get rid of the child and problem solved”

We do not enact that as a solution to any if life’s hardships once a child is outside the womb. In fact, I think we would thankfully all still agree that such an idea would be horrific and barbaric.

Those who oppose abortion simply react in that same way to the idea that killing as a solution to potential hardships and problems is just as horrific of an answer when the child is still in the womb as it is when outside of it. [/quote]
