Women's March Megathead

[Cashew]

Abortion is a desperate choice. It involves either a desperate medical situation or extreme economic distress. Nobody has an abortion for the fun of it. Even those who have an abortion for the reason of life or health of the mother can feel some combination of guilt and grief.   

1. That would be a lot more believable if a quick google search did not reveal plenty of people who think of abortion as a positive good.
2. Much of your party is in denial about the psycholocial consequences of an abortion, so your lecturing the wrong crowd.

Outlawing abortion in America implies that American females will go elsewhere -- across the borders -- to get abortions. But in any event, stare decisis prevails.  

Making it less socially acceptable to get an abortion is in itself a victory.

I wish that Adolf Hitler, Saddam Hussein, and Charles Manson had been aborted.

I can see why someone who does not believe in free will or moral agency would say that.

Let me be clear, I undertrand the consequentialist argument, however that is setting a standard in itself of when abortion is acceptable. The pro choicer argument by its very nature is the antithesis of this.
