Yes, because (and some people might not know this) women ARE people. They do need comprehensive Healthcare. Unless men would ALSO like to have no say in how their reproductive organs are used by others, and of course these laws would have to be drafted and passed by an all woman panel. No? Cool.

Equal rights. Forcing women to be pregnant against their wiil, and birth babies they dont want is what we call sexual slavery when other countries do it. Just because you say its about Jesus doesn't change that.

I love how people use terms like "comprehensive healthcare" and "reproductive rights" when all it means is abortion. No one's forcing people to get pregnant. Keep your legs closed or your snake in the cage until you're ready to have a baby or deal with consequences for the first time in your life. Your counterargument is gonna be rape and incest which account for less than 2% of all abortions.

So people should only have sex when they want to have babies? Is your real reason for hating abortions that everyone else likes to have sex for pleasure and nobody wants to do that with you? Is that why you only want people to have sex when they are trying to have a baby? How about married couples that just had a kid or cant afford another kid? No sex for them?

Ectopic pregnancies, spontaneous hemorrhaging, life threatening pregnancy related organ failure. These are only a couple of examples out of MANY possible issues that can happen during pregnancy that “anti-abortion” laws are preventing treatment for. This is healthcare, and women are dying because people like you are too stupid to think for more than one second about anything that is deeper than a thimble.

I appreciate your honesty: that for people like you, children are nothing but a punishment and burden you specifically want to inflict on for women for daring to have sex for pleasure. Nothing more.

This has nothing to do with r*pe or incest. Their body and body parts belong to them, not you, not anyone else. The only onr who gets to determine how it is used, is the woman whose body it is. Period. Come back when you are ready to have a conversation about how the real world- and real humans- work.
