You're in the minority full stop.

The vast majority of Americans do not believe the government should be making health care decisions for you.[/quote]

Like I said, I know I'm in the minority on DCUM.  And abortion is not a "health care decision," in the vast majority of cases.[/quote]
Choosing not to give birth, which is statistically more dangerous than having an abortion, is a “health care decision” in every effing case.[/quote]

Then don't get yourself pregnant. Problem solved.[/quote]
Nobody gets themselves pregnant.[/quote]

Clumsily worded but point remains. If you have such a health care issue with giving birth, then see to it that you don't get pregnant.[/quote]

My “health care issue” with giving birth occurred when I was diagnosed with an ectopic pregnancy.  We had been trying for years and desperately wanted that to be a healthy pregnancy.  I begged the doctor to find a way to make it work.  
An acquaintance’s “health care issue” with giving birth occurred when her (very much wanted, planned for, IVF) baby was diagnosed with a fatal condition that also impacted her health and future ability to carry another pregnancy.  She found out during a routine ultrasound at 19 weeks.
A college friend’s health care issue” with giving birth was the additional mental trauma that would result from being forced to carry to term a pregnancy that was caused by rape.  A rape she could only remember in flashbacks, because the guy had slipped rohypnol into her drink at a party.  She was suicidal already before she even learned about the pregnancy.  Thank God for Planned Parenthood.[/quote]

In all three cases, most states allow abortion. Rare and legal.[/quote]
Which states will still “allow” it after Roe falls? What documentation will someone need to provide to their doctor, their hospital, their friendly local prosecutor, once new laws are in place? [/quote]
