    Alternative take: People should be able to undertake one of the hardest personal decisions/actions of their life without the chilling effect of others.

      What I don’t understand is why it’s legal to kill your child before it’s born but not after. It doesn’t make sense.

        If you deny women access to abortion related healthcare, they die. Abortion bans ruin lives, and if you really have to protest abortions (which you shouldn’t), direct your attention towards politicians, instead of harassing women who need healthcare and are already having a horrible time.

          The article you posted showed how a woman and her unborn children tragically died from a botched abortion. Her death had little to do with the abortion ban. In fact, if abortion was banned nationally, her life would have been saved.

          As for politicians- they don’t listen. So being able to convince these distressed women that there’s other options and help available is our best method.

        The great thing is though, it’s completely up to you to choose: If you want to carry a child to term, and have the requisite equipment, you can do so.
        If someone else doesn’t want to, that’s their decision too.

          Carrying a child to term is the natural outcome most of the time, except from tragic miscarriages. If Abortion was truly autonomy, it wouldn’t require clinics

        Cool. Your welcome to feel that way.

        But when you intimidate people who disagree with your flawed non scientific ideal of the start of life.

        You face restrictions on you right to gather near them.

          It is a scientific fact that foetus are human lives - they react to things, have a heartbeat, can feel pain, etc. The anti-science ones are the ones trying to make science say something that agrees with their worldview so people don’t have to face the outcome of their actions.

          Just say you were convinced that foetus are human lives - would you still be in favour of abortion?

        Because it’s not yet a child. It has the potential to become one, but it isn’t yet. Seriously, you can’t be daft enough not to understand the difference.
