What do you think about my view on abortion?

When it comes to the subject of abortion,I never belived in absolutes.I never thought it should be totally outlawed and I never thought it should be an everyday practice the moral and ethical implications of which to be dismissed out of hand.In my younger days,I tended to fall on the Pro-choice side of things where now I tend to be much more Pro-life.I agreed with the recent Supreme Court decision simply on a legal basis-even the supporters of the orginal Roe vs.Wade decision admit that the court invented a constutional "right"to abortion that simply never existed-and I do think that the way that abortion has evovled from "safe,legal and rare"to a cottage industry that people actually brag about is disgusting.That said,I think that they're are some cases where it may be warranted.I think no one of any common sense would disagree that it's necessary in cases where the mothers life is jeprodized.Not long ago,I would have put cases of rape and incest into that category,but now Im about 50/50 on that issue. I dont pretend to ever know what it would be liked to be raped and impregnated against my will,andI get how any woman in that situation would not want that child.No one would say she should be forced to RAISE and CARE FOR that child.But when you really think about it isnt aborting the child making that child pay for the crimes of another?The life inside you is not the one who raped the woman!By all means,go after the man you did that do you;have him arrested prosecuted and punished.But is destroying an innocent child who had nothing to do with it really fair?Would not that be compounding one tragedy with another?Am I right in how Im starting to feel about or am I off-base?

Being pregnant and raped is not cut and dry. It’s not just “carrying a rapist’s baby”. Pregnancy alone changes a woman’s body both physically and mentally, and even after birth, can be long term. Pregnancy can cause disability and even death. I am a firm believer, that pregnancy isn’t for everyone.

@NaturalBeautyQueen Ive never said otherwise.And I dont deny that even when pregnant,its the womans body and she does have rights.But heres a bottom line fact:when you are pregnant,its another life inside you as well.Its not JUST about you anymore;the child also has rights.Strictly speaking,its not exactly fair,but it is the reality.

@DavidT8899 as long as you understand, that is your personal belief. Not everybody shared the same belief.

@NaturalBeautyQueen Fair enough.

No woman “wants”to have an abortion. Period.
Abortions are brutal and soul destroying for any mother who has to have one.
Every woman should still have the right to be able to choose to have an abortion if needing to.
"a constutional "right"to abortion that simply never existed"
Who cares? A Constitution is always a set of arrangements, and yes abortion forces us to look into philosophical issues that are not so convenient, the fact that death and life are always near each other, it's not just good versus evil.

Then I think people that pretend to care about a foetus , if they are really honest, should make sure women are much safer in this world, they should focus on boys' education, and men's responsibilties. But do they, really? So abortion becomes a way to restrain women's rights, to make sure they spend their whole lives raising kids.

I think since men don't have to got through pregnancy they should be sidelined and the whole issue left up to women.

@Subsumedpat good answer
I was with Chief Justice Roberts. The Mississippi statute was something most Americans could agree with: 15 weeks with maternal safeguards after that. i hope legislatures will not try to please the fanatics on one side or the other and adopt something like that.

@LamontCranston I tend to agree that a middle ground would be best for the country.But lets face it:its up to the individual states now.

I’m pro choice and anyone who disagrees and wants to impose their views on raped children I hope die from painful cancer. I spit on them.

@LamontCranston Tried that for years, and rarely if ever is there good faith dialog. Now women and girls are going to die and be charged with murder. No civility left, folks.
@Fukfacewillie I've somehow managed to retain a large reservoir of civility.
On Independence Day, this quote from Founding Father benjamin franklin is especially apt:
"He that can have patience can have what he will.”

@LamontCranston Here’s a quote from my grandmother to the Founders.
