And I would ask for justification for that assertion because I think their position is unreasonable and tramples the rights of a good portion of the population to determine what happens to their own bodies.
Quote:You could say having a choice is reasonable because it makes everyone happy
I don't know that I would characterize having the ability to decide whether or not to terminate a pregnancy as "happy," I think it's necessary but regrettable.
My preference would be that every pregnancy was a wanted pregnancy (and was uncomplicated and healthy) and any woman who didn't want to get pregnant wouldn't have to worry about having to make the choice to abort or not. But that's not reality.
Abortion is necessary as a health and safety precaution for women. It's happened for as long as civilization has been around, and probably for millennia before that. If you make abortion illegal all that will happen is that abortions will become unregulated, will go underground and many, many more women will unnecessarily die as a result of botched procedures or post-procedure complications.
