  1. If abortion is illegal women still try to have them and get injured because they are not done properly, this is cruel. If abortions are legal, they kill unwanted babies, this is cruel. I think make the abortions legal but educate people not to get pregnant if they don’t have a need to get pregnant. The same for euthanasia. In Australia that is the way it is, and it seems the best option to me.

  2. The right to an abortion if the fetus is nonviable and without brain function (2/10,000 and ~1/1000 for women over 40, with maternal morbidity even higher.) Can the government or any other entity force someone who is not harmful to any other “born” person to harm themselves? That is the question concerning the prevention of early abortions as well as other potentially harmful procedures such as vaccines. (Note that the battecry of “My body, my choice” is also used at anti-COVID vax rallies). Obviously, SCOTUS has ruled it is legal for private entities and even some governmental ones to require vaccines, and has even allowed forced sterilization of “intellectually disabled” individuals. But it could be justifiably be argued that all of these decisions violate the 14th Amendment’s general protection of American citizens.

    If the fetus beginning at conception has full legal rights, then that must be demonstrated by states in terms of all other legal areas (malpractice, violent crime, insurance, etc.). Although Alabama is as far as I know the only state that has called a fertilized egg onward a person, it has not bestowed full legal rights to that egg in other areas.

    The founding fathers were not privy to all the technological “advances” that occurred since the writing of the Constitution, but I don’t think very many of them would have relished the government messing with their bodies on spurious grounds/ Although they obviously had less concern about what states might do to slaves held in bondage.
