"This abortion debate is simple. If you don't have ovaries you don't have a say. This is a pure women's rights issue. At what point do we honestly draw the line between state and church? Let the women of our nation decide what they decide for THEIR bodies."
There are so many parts of this argument I disagree with despite being pro-choice. 1.) Men shouldn't be part of the discussion (though we make up half the voting population 2.) its not only a religious issue and 3.) the idea that it's only up to the women and their body leaves out the fact that it's not that simple because at some point, and it's worth debating when that point is, there is another life involved.
By this reasoning there should be no limitation on abortion and a woman can terminate a pregnancy at 36 weeks for no reason...just because. Now we know that rarely happens but since we know that rarely happens, why fight for that right?
What's crazy is that the vast majority are on the same page with regards to abortion, most people think abortion should be safe, legal and rare. And yet, the discussion is being driven by people on the right and the most prominent people pushing back on it make arguments like this.
