First of all Armstrong, abortion is permitted up to a point in the majority of the US. Check your European abortion laws. There needs to be restrictions and not even from a religious point but from a human rights point. The thought that women should have the right to do whatever they want with their body while pregnant is the biggest bunch of bs. Why should they be allowed to kill a baby? By around 14-16 weeks that’s a baby in there whether you like it or not. You can be like a small child that doesn’t want to listen to mom and dad and scream no, it’s not a baby so that you have the selfish right to do what you want when you want but it’s still a baby.
I do not believe all abortion should be illegal but I do believe it should be a states rights issue. I think a few states go overboard in both directions but that is the beauty of states rights - the people elect the politicians they want. If the people don’t like the laws then there will be changes. California and New York don’t need to be Texas and Oklahoma.
