[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, “elective” is also a fraught term 
[/quote]

Birthing children is fraught.  You do not need to involve yourself in other women's reproductive decisions.  You have your own fraught reproductive journey so concern yourself with that.  Your birthing issues are none of my business.[/quote]

I was arguing with the person who was parsing the term abortion.

“Elective” doesn’t actually get into the nuances, either. Not all of the abortions that might fit under this term are done because the person just doesn’t want to be pregnant.

I’m With you that we shouldn’t be involving ourselves in any of it. This should all be up to the person that is pregnant and their doctor(s)[/quote]

Ironic, the people posting here don’t agree with this woman’s right to choose to be pregnant. [/quote]

^^^Willful misreading. It's been said time and again in this thread that this woman should have had a better social safety net, had better health insurance, had paid sick leave so that she could go on bed rest, have doctors who could talk to her about EVERYTHING including the option of terminating, should have had the option of delivering at the point of viability. But you conservatives refuse to engage with those issues at all.

Besides her death, what is horrifying is the reality and consequences of a state refusing to give women the choice of continuing or ending a pregnancy. If they choose to against medical advice there should be safeguards to help them. But if they decide they don't want to risk dying they should also have the option of ending their pregnancy. You are making this specifically about this one horrific story. When it's a much larger story about what pregnant women in Texas face. Will you step up and speak if there's a story about a woman who wanted to terminate a pregnancy, was not given that option, and then died? Will you? Doubtful. You'll find a way to blame her for her own death.[/quote]
