Is abortion less of an issue simply because there are less abortions?

[The Arizonan]

I think down the road, if we're very good at framing the issue, we can get it down to 10 weeks. It can't probably go beyond that.

It's unfortunate, but we will never get legal abortions down to 0 and never will make it completely illegal (except for the mother's life). But we've made great strides since 2010 to undercut the access and availability to abortion clinics and hindered the ability to open new ones, while shuttering many clinics. I count that as a solid victory.

This post explains exactly why Republicans aren't in touch with woman. Woman have brains too, they can make the best decision under their circumstances. Nobody ever wants to have to have an abortion, but life isn't perfect. A woman shouldn't be forced to have a child that she can't take care of, have a child who's father raped her, or if she's still in high school and a child would ruin the rest of her life. We can't just make these laws and expect woman to stop being raped, and having accidental pregnancies. A fetus is not a person and needs to stop being put above a woman's own life. Abortion is a constitutionally-protected legal medical procedure.

Have you ever heard of giving a child up for adoption?

While a fetus that is not fully developed is not a person, everyone was a fetus at one point. How would you like it if your mother had an abortion while she was pregnant with you? Would you say that your mother has the right to abort you?

I'm not advocating banning abortion, I still think it should be legal. I don't believe in abortions, except as a last resort.

EDIT: An unborn child should be considered a person if it is fully developed.

Yes, she should be forced to have the child in all of those circumstances. None of them are in any way the child's fault. Children don't get to choose the manner in which they are conceived, and they certainly do not deserve to be killed because of things that weren't their fault in the slightest.

A fetus is not a child and it is a fetus until it pops out.

Even if it is fully developed?
