Unbridled9 posted... Abortion is medical care, as is health care related to preventing maternal mortality in general, as I would have thought my earlier posts in this topic would have demonstrated.
Barring situations where there's legitimate health concerns, I don't see it as medical care. Even if I did I would want things in place to ensure it doesn't become a safety hammock.
If you're trying to argue against abortion, you're failing. All you're doing is further illustrating the point that poc deserve MORE access to health care, not less.
It seems to me that post is just highlighting negative aspects of pregnancy and then using that as justification for a procedure simply because there are negative aspects. Like saying that, since there's a risk of crashing and car exhaust can cause health problems, we should all give up cars.
Edit: Also, let's be honest here. No one here's going to be moved from their position. I don't believe abortion should be permitted except in instances where there are serious medical issues (such as situations where a mothers life is at risk) as I value the unborn while you are not going to be moved from your pro-abortion stance. My only real reason for sticking around ATM is because Fa said something insanely stupid about abortion rates that I, as someone who enjoys studying history, find insane and rewriting history to fit their own world view. We're not going to convince one another to change what we both see as a key moral foundation to our world views.
You're suggesting that the state's regulation of abortion, back into ancient times, had an effect on the amount of abortions that occurred in said state. I'm suggesting it didn't, or if I am to temper my argument somewhat, its effect was minute.
I also have a great interest in history and read it daily. If abortions didn't happen in states where it was illegal, why does it happen so much in the Bible in states where it was illegal?
