to do with central issue of "Personhood"...be sure to read that post and link, but in the moment, I'll outline it.
>The ONLY 'Un-Debated' Person here is the innocent Woman who was impregnated against her will...not the Fetus. Therefore, the only true "Victim" is that woman, and she deserves the option of Abortion.
>The mere fact that a woman has the biological ability to turn the meeting of egg and sperm into another human being does not mean that she HAS TO under any and all circumstances...especially when that situation is forced or coerced on her...and could cause immense harm, both physically, mentally and emotionally for the rest of her life...and possibly even cost her her life. It needs to be noted that 90% of people in this country...including Catholics...agree with that perspective when it comes to forced/coerced pregnancies.
>I've provided you and everyone else on the OF evidence that at any point in time approximately 6 million women in the U.S. will acknowledge they've had a forced or coerced pregnancy during their reproductive lifetime, so such occurrences are not rare.
>It is not possible for others to judge the validity of a woman's claim that a pregnancy was forced/coerced, nor is it justifiable for others to intrude on her privacy to try and investigate their 'suspicions' of her...for example, questioning her over her need for miscarriage medical care.
>As regards concerns that a pregnancy was not forced or coerced, again it is not possible for outsiders/government to "process" such investigations and reach valid decisions in such a short time period...i.e. before 'Viability'...as had been defined in Roe v Wade.
>Finally, the United States is a pluralistic nation, not defined by any one religious belief, and the majority of Americans believe that the option of Abortion should be available to all women...therefore it should be available and safe, meaning all Health Care Systems should be able to provide such a service.
Summarizing, the only "Prudential Judgement" that should be reached on the issue of Abortion is a return to Roe v Wade.
