The elimination of Roe has brought many states back to the stone ages…
For all we know these girl could have been raped by a family member, or other bad actor and the mother was just helping the only way she knew how.
I am sure this was extremely scarring and emotional for the mother and daughter, and now the state wants to charge them for murder…
The state this happened in didn’t change their abortion policy when roe v wade was appealed though.
I’m pro abortion, but not at 28 weeks. A baby can survive at 28 weeks. Not only did they cause an abortion, they then illegally disposed of a dead body.
I'm for abortion in emergencies, such as any time an expectant mother feels like it's necessary. Women are not mindless incubators and shouldn't be treated like them under the law.
No one is saying they’re “mindless incubators”, but “I want to fit in my jeans again” isn’t an “emergency” and doesn’t give them the right to take drugs to abort a baby that could survive out in the world at its age.
Just so we’re on the same page here - you feel that a woman should be able to abort a 39 week old baby?
I support abortion in all circumstances. The rights of the woman supersede that of the fetus, period.
And yes, when you infringe on a person's right to abortion, you are relegating them to the status of a mindless incubator rather than a person. I find that much more uncomfortable than aborting an unwanted fetus.
