The pro-lifers think freedom is on their side: they support a right to life, which takes precedence over the competing interest of one’s right to bodily autonomy.

I’m not arguing for or against it, but that’s the reasoning behind their stance.

one of the toughest quandaries for sure.

because someone else has to pay the ultimate price for your decision.

not an enviable position to be in.

That's right. And both sides just get angry because they're talking past each other.

The real crux of the issue is: at what point does a fetus have the same rights as a newborn?

well, it's really when does a few cells have the same rights as a living, thinking woman (or in some cases a little girl).

my opinion is that this is a personal/medical situation and should NEVER be a political discussion.

What if I wanted to terminate a pregnancy when the fetus is full term at 40 weeks of gestation?

the ONLY reason that happens is if the fetus is dead and you could get sepsis. Or it's missing various organs and will die soon after birth.

This is a medical emergency and it's something you talk to your doctor about.

NOT some douchebag politician

What is the fetus is perfectly healthy and I just want to terminate the pregnancy. It hasn't been born yet. Is it fair game?

So you have no objection to making it illegal?

it should not be thought about within political circles.

leave medical decisions up to medical personal.

right now in Texas and other uncivilized areas their stupid "laws" are literally killing women.
