Abortions should be unregulated through the second trimester but once you have reached the third, you have had plenty of time to figure out whether you want it or not. Once in third it should be taken as a case-by-case basis of whether or not it is needed or worth it. But first trimester or early second trimester or 13-18 weeks imo should be perfectly legal for abortions. Brain activity begins in the third trimester, hence going case by case.
Good point. Abortion shouldn’t be treated as birth control but I’d definitely rather Kids not be born to parents that hate or don’t truly want them. That’s how you get cases like Gabriel Fernandez and Teresa Knorr. Not saying those kids didn’t deserve a life at all, but they 100% deserved better parents.
This way both sides are appeased. People have the freedom to abortions early on but by the time there is a properly developing baby, then the side that doesn’t want abortions is made happy because late term abortions are on the more odd side- coming from somebody who supports bodily autonomy and freedom
And don’t forget, the people that argue with this clearly do not actually understand government and believe one side HAS to win all the time, when government need to be an equal match otherwise it will crumble. This appeases both sides wants and would not be something that either side would then need to upheave and try to change with every round of new presidency or new power. We need to stop making blanket this or that and return to in the middle, good and humane decisions that don’t get undone
Nobody is getting a third trimester abortion for funsies. By the time they’ve reached their third trimester, they’ve already had gender reveals, decorated a nursery, picked out names and started planning a baby shower. Everyone in their family knows. Birth plans and maternity/paternity leave are being finalized. Third trimester “abortions” are really just a way of removing a stillborn fetus
