A fetus does not equal a human being

A fetus can only survive outside of the womb at 21+ weeks. I don't think we should allow abortions after that point. I'm no monster.

You are taking some giant leaps with what I said. Abortion is an awful choice for women to make but it's folks like you who want to demonize anyone who wants to guarantee a woman's right to choose and decide what is best for her. In a perfect world we would not need abortions if we had higher rates of birth control use and better sex education in schools. But I'm sure you think these things are awful too.

Your religious beliefs and those of our elected officials should not come into play when public health and safety are the concerns of the government.

I bet you think women who are raped should carry their babies to term. Or those who are drug/alcohol addicts as well.

Safe abortion access should be a protected right of women. You can outlaw or make them as difficult to get them as you want but women will still seek them out or they will harm themselves instead.
