Should abortion be banned? 🤱

I am a believer in freedom of choice and the right of people to make private choices in their own lives. Especially with the abortion pill, if not for state restrictions, it never has been easier for women to get a safe and legal abortion in the privacy of their own home.

The abortion pill isn’t available for all stages of pregnancy and can have side effects like a miscarriage requiring medical supervision and may not be appropriate in all cases. Sometimes in person care and counseling can be better and should be allowed. But I think more medication abortions are part of the way forward and fewer abortion clinics.

I’m no fan of organizations that promote abortion and sexuality for purposes other than child birth. While I think care should be available for those in need of an abortion, I have problems with active promotion of such organizations. Maybe they feel like they have to zellous advocates for abortion when the opposition is so certain but I find it rather obnoxious. I hate the throwaway society, throwaway human life included.

I’d like abortion to be medicine, something private, non political. Something decided by families in the privacy of their own home or with a trusted doctor and not something brandished around town. Not a political issue but a personal one.
