iirc it takes 9 months to birth a human on average. So someone could say abortion should be allowed at 8.9 month and someone can also say just 1 week.

I’m waiting for someone to say abortion should be allowed at 8.9 months cause i want to hear the reasoning.

Here’s my hot take: (ib4 ban) we should develop tech like artificial uteruses and just move unwanted baby/fetus/idk-the-terminology into these instead BUT we should also have a comprehensive social welfare program to raise ALL children/humans, and not conservative welfare where it’s like 1 mother figure taking care of 6 children with food stamps.

Given what i know about 2022 technology: if conservatives gave a hoot about child/fetus welfare, they’re have comprehensive social welfare programs, which would reduce the number of abortions bc at least the mother figure won’t be #rekt financially by have 6 kids.

    I think abortion should be allowed if the mother is a minor or if the pregnancy puts the life of the mother at substantial risk. I can’t justify ending a human existence for anything less.

      Yeah this is absolutely true. It shouldn’t be allowed for a woman to decide she can just stroll in and Plan C because she loves dudes nutting in her unprotected but doesn’t want to deal with what comes with that.
