Philosophically, I believe that the pregnancy deserves to be protected at all stages. However, I understand that this is an unrealistic scenario and it's not something I actively fight for. I'm 100% in the camp of reducing the number of abortions via counseling, subsidized birth control, proper sex education, etc. One day, when we have an artificial uterus, we can finally put this issue behind us. Until then, I'm shit out of luck because America isn't ready to do the right thing.
"the pregnancy deserves to be protected"? do you mean pregnant women who want to have a baby need to be protected by that? then everyone agrees with you. do you mean pregnant women who don't want to have a baby should be forced to have it? then say so.
i am also in the camp of reducing the need for abortions, ironically it's mostly "pro life" republican lawmakers who oppose those measures, as i am sure you know. what do you mean when you say YOU're "shit out of luck"?
please be specific: are you in favour of the scotus overturning roe v. wade or not? are you in favour of red states introducing draconian laws to punish women seeking abortion - even rape and incest victims - or not? given all the information you have, knowing how it will impact different communities... i'm talking real world, not some imaginary future scenario.
