Ban the Abortion Ban

The Issue

The choice to get an abortion should be the person's (here incl. trans- and non-binary people and women) and not the government. No one should control another person’s body, or what they decide to do with it. I believe in a stronger community where we are all equal, where nobody imposes their beliefs onto others. To exclude women from their own bodies is an infringement of freedom and basic human rights.

Not only that, but the abortion law doesn’t include rape victims either, a rape victim can get a longer sentence than the assailant for getting an abortion. There are so many more consequences that the civilians and government must pay for the abortion law such as overfilled foster homes, child mortality and maternal mortality, etc.

Abortion is not murder "They can pretend fetuses are indistinguishable from babies, despite the fact that medical evidence tells us fetuses cannot live unsupported, even with a respirator before 21 weeks. They can pretend they feel pain, even though scientific consensus tells us that until at least 24 weeks, a fetus cannot feel anything like pain because they do not yet have the brain connections to do so." - Jennifer Wright
