There is obviously a significant portion of the US population that believes it has the right to control whether a woman carries a fetus to term or not. How is that not trying to control a woman's right to self-determination? And the attitude that, 'yeah, just carry that baby, give birth and go on about your life' is really, really dismissive of the emotional and physical realities of pregnancy. It's bullshit. No one has the right to force another person through that.
I was talking to my daughter about this a little while ago and her instant reaction was, 'well, what if the son or husband of the doctor kills the person trying to murder their wife or mother...that's justifiable, too, right?' Such a smart girl.
I can't believe that this is really happening...
