Well the reason is that first off, politicians are involved in the law, and I think this issue should have legal involvement. The main argument for pro life peeps is this:
-also let me say first that I completely agree that you should have complete control over your body- The baby deserves life, as it is an individual living human being, and that life should be taken by nobody.
Legal involvement and legal involvement that is inclusive and open are two different things unfortunately. But yes I agree, legal structure is necessary. I'd just not have said politician that is blind to all things woman or post 1980s have the deciding voice.
I agree 100% that life is sacred and should be cherished, but speaking from a med student's point of view…there is no heart, no brain, no hands, feet, spine or NOTHING at conception. There isn't for several weeks. Allowing SAFE abortion (FOR THE RIGHT REASONS & AFTER MUCH EDUCATION) during this time period should be allowed. Now, later on when there is all the before mentioned things and the fetus is no longer a clump of cells, abortion should only be delved out by responsible doctors only for life altering reasons (ie: the mothers or babys life is in jeopardy etc.) if it is not for one of these reason, adoption is a wonderful thing.
Making abortion illegal is impossible. Its not going to take away the practice. Its only going to take away the safe practice. Illegal abortions will grow and the mortality rate of desperate women will only rise.
