Yet the people who "prioritize" the life of the child pretty much gives families the middle finger once the baby is born. They want to get rid of safety net programs, no improvement of the current healthcare system, no investment in mental health programs, no early education programs, no help with daycare cost, no investment in child protection...I could go on.
I don't think most people feel like having an abortion should be a decision that one should take lightly, but if woman for whatever reason feels like she can't or shouldn't give birth is her business alone.
That applies to the right-wing crowd and those Christian Evangelical groups, but not everyone that opposes abortion believes that way just like not everyone who supports abortion believes that it should be legal all the way up until birth. The debate is more nuanced that people like to admit.
And abortions can never be the woman's business alone. Nevermind that every baby has a father, so the idea that women can kill someone else's child without a thought to how that other person feels should seem kinda messed up to everyone even if ultimately it's the right choice. Women need doctors to perform abortions. What doctors allowed to do is regulated by the government. That doesn't just go for abortions. Abortions are just the hot bed topic.
To be clear, I don't think abortions should be illegal. If our particular society deemed that ending human life, even in a rudimentary state, was immoral under all conditions then there would be no abortions. However, it seems that the majority of the nation believes abortions should be legal with some restrictions (e.g., late term), so, as a democracy, that's what we should have. I just don't like the framing of the abortion debate.
