New Iowa Law Restricts Abortion To Before Most Women Know They're Pregnant

[Rev. Rye]

The way a fetus works is, the way I see it, analogous to a tenant and landlord, if the landlord is letting her own body instead of her building. If the situation with her boarder becomes intolerable or untenable, it should be (and is) her prerogative to kick it out. Seriously,
I know the majority of abortions are performed with pregnancies that don’t have high stakes for the mother, but seriously, there are loads of examples (Hell, Wikipedia’s “abortion in Ireland” page shows a couple case studies) where it is simply the best option.

Honestly, if we could develop the technology to transfer a fetus from a pregnant woman who doesn’t want it to a non pregnant woman who does, I’d support it, and if it works, I’d say it would obviate the need that abortion fills. That said, that technology does not exist, and I’m sure someone who knows more about obstetrics will be able to explain why such an idea would be physically unsound, so I don’t think we’re likely to change that.
