I agree it should be on the ballot in EVERY state. Simple question should abortion be legal?
Yes -legal no restrictions
No - illegal no exceptions
As much as I'm pro abortion: no restrictions is bullshit too. Wouldn't allow aborting in the 9th month if not the life of the mother is at stake.
That's a C-section birth. There are not abortions in the ninth month unless the fetus has become nonviable, which is extremely rare. More common is Mom gets hurt and the fetus has to be born early. In which case it gets care as a premie baby and all the help the hospital can give it to live.
Again. Ninth month abortions do not happen. Anybody trying to get your vote or your money by telling you they happen is lying to you.
I am not even American and I guess I'm discussing on a rather ethical way and too far from the reality America is facing right now.
My only point was that if you'd allow abortions without any restrictions and simply define an abortion as a termination of pregnancy you'd also allow this.
I'd still rather vote for this than the abolition of abortion, just to be clear, but this would also be choosing one minor bad thing over the other.
