No offense but there is much more to pregnancy than conception and any pregnancy takes a toll on the body. There are actually life long implications that come with bringing any pregnancy to term. It can also come down to which life? Pregnancy more often than reported on can result in catastrophic consequences for the pregnant person. I would die if I become pregnant again by any means. Flat out. What's more in most instances of incest, the person who becomes impregnated is younger than 14. That person's body is in no way ready to undertake all the requirements of carrying a pregnancy to term. While some women sail through pregnancy with no complications, much more the norm are problems and complications in myriad forms from the benign to the profound. They just don't make the news. My first child was disabled for life because of birth complications, my second ended in miscarriage at three months, my third was emergency c-section, my fourth was miscarriage, my fifth was c-section to avoid complications and my sixth was definite c-section. Those are major surgeries. Now, if I were raped and became pregnant as a result, I would die if I attempted to carry that pregnancy to term, no medical question at all. My uterus would burst because of multiple surgeries. So, by making blanket decisions regarding highly individual circumstances, it rarely comes down to just emotions. Neither the Supreme Court nor any legislative body belongs in this realm at all. It should have never become a legal issue, it should have remained a medical issue. I speak from experience, both physical and emotional.
I think you’re right that my blanket statement didn’t do justice to the complexity of the issue. This issue wouldn’t be so contentious if it were easy to judge. Thank you for teaching me something. Yet, I’m uncomfortable with the idea of no protections for the unborn. If this is truly a human being, and I do believe the burden of proof for a fetus not being a human person is on those who are pro-choice, should we not make laws to defend them? If you notice I didn’t say that the life of the mother should be an exception. Anyways, I don’t mean for this to turn into some social media fight. At the very least, I do want to thank you for teaching me that pregnancy is more complex than I had originally thought.
