What happens is that women still get pregnant Right. Accidents and rape will always happen. At that time, the right thing to do is tough out the nine months, then give up the child for adoption instead of killing the infant.
There's a good chance I would experience life-threatening complications, like last time. This is the one case where I think abortion is justified. With a doctor's advice that the mother's life is at risk, then and only then do I feel abortion would be a fair decision. As long as a normal healthy pregnancy is predicted, the baby should be carried to term.
They have unsafe abortions. As women have had since time immemorial. Right. But just because women want to erase the mistake doesn't make killing a justifiable solution. As I've said before, it's the same as killing an unwanted newborn (which has also been done since the beginning of time.) If you wouldn't protect and defend women who dump their newborns in Dumpsters, why protect the women who do the same thing but earlier? I realize that women may get hurt getting illegal abortions, but they shouldn't be killing their babies and getting the abortion in the first place. If she carried the baby to term as she should, a mother could save both their lives instead of risking both.
As I've said before, you don't have to agree with me and I don't expect you to. You seem happy to accuse anyone who feels differently from you of being less intelligent or "cognitively dissonant" without any consideration that maybe an intelligent, rational person could come to a different conclusion than you.
You seem to see yourself as some champion of justice protecting women, but you're blinded to the fact that the people on the other side of the fence from you are doing the exact same thing, but defending the cause of the babies instead of the parent. The difference is that in my scenario nobody has to die or complications leading to death are a rare occurance, but in an abortion scenario, there is a death. every. time. A mother's life is not worth more than her child's. They are both lives worth saving and defending.
By bolstering contraception methods and awareness, unwanted pregnancies could be severely reduced. What few mistakes still occur should be carried to term, the mothers staunchly protected during the pregnancy, and then the child should be given for adoption no questions asked if the mother chooses. No one needs to die.
