@jlelandg I don’t blame them. I get why someone who believes life begins at conception has trouble with the idea of abortion. What I always say is lets not argue about whether it is a life, let’s decide whether we want the government to say a person can be forced by law to support another life?
I know a couple pro-life people who had abortions. Both wanted to be pregnant. I bet they still walk around calling themselves pro-life. It isn’t untrue really, the fetuses would never had made it to term, or would have died moments after birth, they would never abort otherwise, but they really wanted the abortion to get it over with, and make it easier on the woman. The way they vote, they could have wound up in a country where it was really hard to come by a medical professional who could do the procedure. There is this overwhelming push in America that pregnancy is wonderful and natural and nothing ever goes wrong, but things go wrong all of the time.
Recently there was a nun excommunicated because she helped a woman get an abortion because her life was in danger. She had other children, but the church felt she should have stuck with the pregnancy and probably left her children motherless.
90% of fetuses identified with downs syndrome are aborted. No way they are all pro-choice women.
The pro-lifers get safe abortions, because the pro-choice people keep up the fight.
Back in the 90’s Mitt Romney was pro choice, I have no idea where he stands now, stating he is pro life for himself, but a young family member of his had a bad abortion and died, so he wants abortion to be safe. I have to assume his family member was Mormon, needed to hide her decision to abort, and had it done “back alley.” This is why all laws that inhibit a woman’s right to abort scare us. Laws that require parent notification, long waiting times, all mean a young girl might avoid a legal abortion even if it is available.
