I will give you a hypothetical example to think about.
Your wife was raped by a number of men about 3 months ago who have never been traced or caught. She is in the hospital and you get a call from the doctor explaining that your wife is pregnant and unless she has an abortion she will die. By the state law he is not permitted to abort the unborn child.
You live in a state where the male governor has decreed that an abortion will not be permitted under ANY circumstances at all.
However you live close to the next state which does allow abortions though you may have to pay to save your wife's live. You don't have enough cash to pay for it and the insurance company will not pay for it either.
So what will you do?
Take your wife to the next state where she can have an abortion, and if necessary beg or borrow the money?
Or let her die because some men in the state where you both live have passed a law stating that is is forbidden, despite the fact that she will die if she does not have an abortion?
Remember that this is a hypothetical case, but it can be real for some people.
i don't think you are going to find a lot of people who disagree with that. most people are in support of abortion for the big 3 reasons. rape incest and risk of death.
those 3 instances are not the majority of abortions though. numbers of which i believe are in the low teens percentage wise. so for whatever other reasons (woman's choice) the majority of abortions are not about that.
lets put another hypothetical out there shall we.
i am firm supporter of my body my choice. however i also believe it should work both ways. if a woman tells me she is pregnant and i am the father.... i will simply say your body your choice. i do not wish to have a baby.
is that fair ? i should then be free of any obligation if that child is born. after all her body her choice right.
