What would you do if your wife was unexpectedly pregnant?

Let's say that you have a wife who accidentally got pregnant. The pregnancy is dangerous and making her sick. Unfortunately, you live in a state that has banned all abortion and it's also illegal to travel outside of state to get one. The doctor says it's best for her to continue the pregnancy and pray for the best even though there's a huge chance she might die from this

That's really not a hard scenario. You go to a state where a legal and safe abortion can be obtained. If one has to leave the country to do so, then that family must make that sacrifice.

@calicuz The problem with that is it pretty much means family planning becomes a privilege based on your economic status which is not great.

@calicuz And we both know the next bigoted talking point will be "don't those stupid poors know how to keep their legs closed."

True, but the ugly truth is, most abortions are performed in low income areas of cities. Where tax dollars pick up most, if not all of the expense. Abortion should never be a solution to a problem, because a child should never be viewed as a problem.

@calicuz Well first off a clump of cells is not a child. And late term abortions are vary uncommon and usually for medical emergencies. If getting an abortion is considering a child a problem than by that same kind of reasoning a blowjob is cannibalism. And having a medical procedure to prevent child from a life of poverty is a better option.

You're entitled to your opinion, and I respect your opinion. I'm just a little baffled at how this became an issue again in our country. Everything was fine, we had limits on abortion, funding for abortion and everything was fine. Now we want a total ban on it or no limits whatsoever. What the hell happened?!!!
I thought the abortion rights and limits were working fine and now all hell has broken loose.

@calicuz No surprise. The right in the USA has been hijacked by extremists they have catered to for decades.

Yes and it's only getting worse. As soon as there is balance, somebody comes along and has to stir the pot.
