I just fully don’t understand their thought process. If you don’t like abortion don’t get one. What’s the point of forcing that opinion on the rest of the country??

The idea, at least from a pro-life perspective, is that the action itself is morally wrong and should be opposed. Their theory is 63 million Americans have been killed, and they need to stop it, even if they aren’t personally affected.

I see, I see. I guess the difference in opinion stems mostly from when something is actually considered to be alive. I would consider something to only be truly alive when it’s actually capable of surviving without direct dependence on its “parent” organism, in this case capability to survive outside the womb. After 21 weeks actually only about 1% of abortions occur, and that’s even an early estimate of survivability. And in most cases, abortions happen because they’re medically necessary

I have a couple more I could keep going. But the research you’re quoting comes from an institute created for the purpose of supporting anti-abortion legislation, and has had multiple studies retracted. Not the most reliable of sources

I do not see a source which says a majority are medically necessary.

While there’s no indication of where this study comes from, the spelling of fetus is the UK version of the spelling, suggesting the study was conducted there, so this wouldn’t apply to anything regarding abortions in the US

Can you present a source which says a majority are medically necessary?

You’re right, after a decently significant amount of research, it doesn’t seem like there is a study that exists that’s been able to reliably measure the exact percentages, so I will retract that part of my statement. Although, the lack of any other reliable data lends credence to the fact that the source you provided is unreliable.
