[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I guess I am an outlier, but not planning on my kid getting pregnant at college. But I'm in full support of banning abortion after 15 weeks- I have trouble how parents feel otherwise. You KNOW what this fetus becomes. At 15 weeks we know enough that the fetus is capable of feeling, so really don't understand how people can be pro-abortion at this point. Totally understand f-ups happen and the women shouldn't bear the brunt of it for life if they aren't ready but 15 weeks is plenty of time to stop things before it turns into a human that feels pain.

Oh yes, you aren’t planning on it, unlike all those other parents who WERE planning on their daughters getting pregnant in college. I guess my best friend from high school was planning on getting attacked and raped at 4pm by a random stranger with a knife in an alley next to her dorm, but YOUR daughter is making no such plans so she should be fine.

Again, I don't quite get this. If she were raped, she would take the morning after pill. If her birth control pills failed she would get an early abortion. If early abortion is banned outright, I will take her elsewhere. There are a lot of options between regulating abortion and having 3rd trimester abortions legal. I mean seriously, how can any parent of a child support it?  I honestly and sincerely dont see it.   There will always be plenty of options for early abortions in the US but honestly its just easiest to put the girls on the pill or IUD, they are headed there anyway realistically. Who among us is still practicing natural family planning these days?[/quote]

How dense are you?  These people are coming for the pill, IUDs, the morning after pill, “early” abortions,  traveling to get an abortion, receiving abortifacients in the mail. All of these are at risk right now, which we know based on laws that have actually passed, have been proposed, or what politicians have stated as their goals.  This is not a drill. This is what’s happening. [/quote]
