bro do the republicans not realize they've basically gone commie? for them there's no longer a "my body" it's "our body"
If you believe a fetus is a life then you have to support banning abortion pretty much though.
I get where you are coming from but the thing about it to me at least is that you can really only do what you can do which is what you think is right, so like my wife and I agree that we could never have an abortion unless it was medically necessary because we do not think that is a good thing to be doing. But it would be wrong of me to tell someone else that they couldn't have an abortion because then I'm enforcing my beliefs on them.
If you look at it in the reverse, it's basically the same as someone who would have an abortion telling people who don't want to that they have to, which I hear actually happens in places like North Korea which is an Axis of Evil communist state, there are forced abortions there, and so we do not want to be like North Korea just "in reverse" we have to actually aspire to better to live up to the values of liberty and democracy.
Another thing I don't get, if the govt wants to promote family values and what not, why aren't they doing anything to make fertility treatments more accessible? Or make it easier to adopt? Instead they focus on forcing ppl who don't want babies to have them, when there are lots of us out there who would love to have a baby but have a hard time doing so and they have to jump through so many hoops to make it happen.
