see the linked "America" magazine article...an excerpt...
---------------------
Most Americans believe there should be some legal limits on abortion but that it should be available for women legally. So what are the 57 percent of Americans who believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases seeing that pro-life Catholics are not?

Maybe what supporters of abortion in the United States recognize is how deeply patriarchal attitudes about sex are ingrained in our culture, how little control women have over when and how they have sex—even with partners they love. Maybe they see the immense pressures a patriarchal culture places on women to have sex on a male timeline and its negative effects on women. Perhaps they are concerned about the horrifically high rates of domestic violence in this country. And the disturbing statistic that 1 in 5 American women will, at some point in their lives, be raped.
---------------------
And another...
--------------------
To attempt to outlaw abortion without caring whether or not abortions will occur illegally or without caring why so many women see abortion as so essential to their freedom, health and happiness is shortsighted. And it is that blindspot that makes the pro-life political apparatus appear so misogynist and cruel to its political counterparts. A movement that wants to end abortions has to listen to the voices of women demanding change. It has to seriously consider why women—particularly impoverished women—see abortion as a necessity.
--------------------

Again...this isn't simply my opinion, but the MAJORITY of Americans who are at least as morally grounded as the Pro-Life Movement claims to be.

Keep on losing.

This statement is just goofy.

respect for each other...meaning that husbands don't insist on having sex on their terms only. That's what she's talking about. Hope this helps you better understand that aspect of the author's paper.

Now, onto the rest of it...as well as the study of women who have over their reproductive lifetimes experienced forced or coerced pregnancies...that's a lot of women affected, and among the strongest of reasons why Abortion needs to be a legal option for all women in this country, regardless of where they live.

Do you accept the fact that women are indeed subjected to totally Un-Wanted pregnancies that carry risks of physical and/or mental harm for the rest of their lives?...and if so, do you agree that they deserve the OPTION of ending those pregnancies?

incest or coercion be required to carry it to term with all the physical and mental harm that can entail...and not given the option of ending it?

Which is that there are 6 million U.S. women who are parents of children whose births were the result of violent coercion.

Let that sink in.

namely, the fact that at any given point in time there are ~6 million women who, over their reproductive lifetimes who have been subjected to a forced or coerced pregnancy (see link). These totally unwanted attacks are all illegitimate uses of their bodies...specifically their reproductive systems. There is nothing "theological" about the process stemming from the introduction of sperm...it's all biology from there...and given that the innocent woman is a full-fledged Person, with all the rights thereof, she needs to be afforded the right to halt that process, if she so chooses, should she deem the risks and burdens beyond her capabilities. ONLY the victimized woman can make that decision.

For those women who were not forced or coerced into a pregnancy, there is no full legal process that can make a fair determination by outsiders as to the legitimacy of a woman's history or intent...and especially given the limited time between awareness of pregnancy and generally accepted...over many hundreds of years, by many societies and faiths...Viability/Personhood. Therefore, there should be no impediment up until that time. Furthermore, experience has shown that ending pregnancy after Viability is virtually always done for very serious medical reasons.

Given that more than 50 years of surveys show 80-90% of Americans (including Catholics) agree with this view...and that America is a pluralistic society, there should be an option of abortion for every single woman in America, regardless of where she lives or chooses to move to.

There are ways of reducing the number of abortions...without sacrificing the rights of so many women to live the lives they envisioned...and we all should join together for that purpose.
