A survey has found that abortion has passed inflation to become the top issue in the presidential election for women younger than 30. That’s a key finding of a KFF survey of female voters with results released Friday.

    No one is advocating for abortions at 8 months unless the women’s (or fetus’) life is in some kind of danger.

    Why on earth would a woman put up with the absolute hell that is pregnancy for 8 months, and then just wake up one day and decide “Meh, nvm, Im not actually all that into it” completely unprompted?

    It makes no sense and it doesn’t happen. At 8 months, numerous appointments have happened, a nursery of some kind has been put together, baby showers have been had, names have been picked out, vices of all kinds have been foregone (not just alcohol/smoking, modern women give up stuff like lunchmeats/fish/coffee) etc.

    If a woman is getting an abortion at 8 months, something went very fucking wrong, and it’s a tragedy all around, so we shouldn’t add the stress of navigating legislation on top of all that.

      But my question was about wether there was a consensus about where the line is drawn. This doesn’t really answer that.

        There isnt a line at this time, nor should there be, for the reasons that Ive stated.

        Its absolutely inhumane to expect a woman to navigate an arbitrary line when they have to make one of the worlds most difficult decisions, just because it makes some other people feel better.

          Allowing abortion at 8 months for other than medical reasons is just as insane policy as to not allow it at all.

            You’re telling on yourself rn. You obviously have zero empathy for couples/women in an intensely tragic situation.

              Oh now I’m the enemy for daring to ask a difficult question to which you failed to give coherent answer to?

              Life is not binary. This is not a yes or no question.

                Bro, you asked a “difficult question”, and I gave an IRL answer.

                You said “Is there a line drawn for abortion?”

                I said “No, nor should there be, this is why.”

                I expounded on why there shouldnt be a line. Im not sure what youre failing to grasp here.
