We have natural rights.
One is able to believe, choose and do what they will and to do to their body and life what they will. One can do to another’s body and life that to which the other has given their consent. As such, one is able to terminate their life, ingest what they will and, if a woman pregnant, terminate her pregnancy. Man-made laws cannot prevent one from doing so. These abilities, by definition, are “natural rights”, i.e., what one is able to do that cannot be prevented by law.
You bring up some good points in this post and the world would be better off if more people followed these points.
Many do. Enough do. Evolution of our species only depends upon some. Possibly the 80-20 rule, the Pareto Principle, applies, i.e., 80% of evolutionary change comes from 20% of the population. About 1/3rd of our population have sufficient wherewithal to live their lives as they will. History suggests that there will always be enough.
Some believe that, "the meek will inherent the Earth." The meek, collectively, do not have the wherewithal to operate and manage the civilizations of Earth. Civilizations evolve. If they do not evolve, they stagnate. Some linger. Some die. Historically, land-based civilizations have been created by those in positions of power and influence for their own benefit. Some believe that civilizations should exist for its citizenry. There are some in positions of power and influence who are working towards that end. One can believe, choose and do what they will. There is a natural morality, a Golden Rule. "Live life harmoniously and responsibly." To impose upon another without their consent is disharmonious. To do it intentionally is irresponsible.
Yes, it is a mantra.
Aside from the fact that no citizens body should ever have laws made about its care, maintenance, or prohibitions of human contact that does not involve the creation of a victim, there's a universe of biological facts that will always require abortion services. Ectopic pregnancy is when a fertilized egg grows outside a woman's uterus. An ectopic pregnancy most often occurs in a fallopian tube, which carries eggs from the ovaries to the uterus. This type of ectopic pregnancy is called a tubal pregnancy. Sometimes, an ectopic pregnancy occurs in other areas of the body, such as the ovary, abdominal cavity or the lower part of the uterus (cervix), which connects to the vagina.
An ectopic pregnancy can't proceed normally. The fertilized egg can't survive, and the growing tissue may cause life-threatening bleeding, if left untreated.
And besides all that we have the heartbreakingly common miscarriage. Medically in every case it is best to remove the tissue, typically by DNC, especially in later stages of pregnancy.
Biology is not a conspiracy to disprove the Bible. It's the cold hard fact that women will die unless this insane power grab by conservative Christians against all the stark realities of human suffering is not pulled out stem and root.
First of all no one loves abortion, it's a heartbreaking tragedy more often then not, but compared to the infections sickness sterilization and death of regular wives, even church going wives, who experience a miscarriage and find that their life depends on immediate medical help. In Texas that help may never come.
Vote blue, if possible vote minorities and females to better reflect our ethnic diversity and give everyone a voice, not just the alpha male "he man women haters club" members that will happily kill all of us for standing up to their rape culture.
Thanks for your contribution to the discussion. In another posting I raise the question of why the state anti-abortion laws have not been ruled unconstitutional with respect to the First Amendment. I've written letters to the ACLU. NARAL and Planned Parenthood.
