look i’m Catholic and i’ll agree with same sex marriage. there’s zero logic behind it, and it’s wrong and impossible to legislate and enforce morality. if you like it and it doesn’t hurt me and mine, who cares what i think? live your life fam, and be happy! i’ve got no problem with it :)
but the thinking behind abortion is that there is literally a life at stake that has no voice of its own. there’s exigency circumstances that apply here, of course (ectopic pregnancy being a prime example), but unless both the life of the mother and the child were to be forfeit should the pregnancy continue, the push against abortion is literally to save a life.
so no, this doesn’t quite make sense there.
of course i’m sure guest has an essay to write so i’m gonna leave it here.
There's "abortion-on-demand" and then there's an incredible spectrum of medical necessity. Miscarriages are far more common than births and, once they happen at a certain stage, they require an abortion procedure to keep the mother safe and healthy. All across the red states, women are suffering and dying because they don't have access to that medical care. I am curious how that makes you feel. Is it okay with you if a non-viable pregnancy is terminated or should a woman be made to wait until fetal heart tissue ceases its contractions for them to get care, even if they may die or become infertile?
excellent question. i believe that every chance at life must be given. every measure, every means. miracles happen, and cutting short because it’s starting to look bad takes away that chance. THAT SAID, trust the professionals, and if they say that statistically there’s no practical hope left and to forgo this last resort to save the mother’s life and fertility would mean harm or death to the mother, then the priority is the life-safety of the mother. my wife had a DNC and my mother had two. my wife is Christian and my mother is Catholic. i understand this from my experience and shared trauma with them.
the procedure itself isn’t inherently evil, nothing made by man is. it’s how it is used, even abortion.
