The discussion we should be having is what are the restrictions? And before you jump down my throat - do people really believe there should be unfettered access to abortions in the 9th month? On the other side of the coin, obvious exceptions at all times is mother's life. What else and at what times?
We need to get the crazy and extreme out of both sides and start concentrating our national discussions in the middle where most of the country is.
i do not like abortion, but i like the fact that women had the option to make the best decision for themselves.
Perfectly stated!

Perfectly stated!We just posted almost the same thing on may 7th.
These are the best stances yet. That was my point all along. I was pregnant at 22 and engaged. So when my son noticed that our anniversary obviously is before nine months I was able to say to him honestly that he was a CHOICE. He wasn’t a mistake, nor did we even consider abortion. Had I been 16 and alone I would have gone the adoption route. I am against abortion for me. It’s a free world so I get to choose and I don’t judge those who choose abortion, I’m not here to judge.HughFreakingDillon said:my wife is another. exact same stance. that's the essence of pro choice.0 -

gift article....Abortion in the Founders’ era: Violent, chaotic and unregulated
By Gillian Brockell
May 15, 2022 at 7:00 ET
Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. calls himself an originalist, someone who thinks the Constitution should be interpreted only by how it would have been understood by the Founders when they wrote it. So it’s no surprise that his draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade is full of history.
At least seven times, Alito cited Sir Matthew Hale, a 17th-century jurist who didn’t think marital rape was possible because wives were the property of their husbands, and who sentenced at least two women to die for witchcraft. Alito also cited a legal text from 1250 by Henry de Bracton that, in another section, says women are inferior to men, and that they sometimes give birth to literal monsters.
Alito confined his exploration of the past to legal history and English common law. But to assess how the Founders would view abortion rights, it’s necessary to paint a fuller picture of what abortion was actually like in the time of the Founders.
And it was very different from how it might look in a post-Roe America.
Abortion in the Revolutionary War era
In the 18th-century United States and England, abortion was common enough that there were slang terms for it, like “taking the cold,” “taking the trade” and “bringing down the flowers.” It was less-effective and more dangerous than it is now; women seeking abortions often died from infected wounds or poisons. And it was generally unregulated, except for a few instances in England and one in colonial Maryland mentioned by Alito in the draft opinion.
In the late-18th and early-19th centuries, no states had laws against any form of abortion, though Alito averred that “manuals for justices of the peace printed in the colonies in the 18th century” sometimes "repeated Hale’s and [William] Blackstone’s statements that anyone who prescribed medication ‘unlawfully to destroy the child’ would be guilty of murder if the woman died.”continues.....
