We know too much now to pretend that abortion is not a brutal way to end an "inconvenience", I am embarrassed that the pinnacle of the women's movement appears to be the ability to be sexually irresponsible and further that "choice" by more reckless behavior. They want to make us think that pregnancy by rape and incest is rampant. We know better and we know using the term "rape" is often an afterthought. Adoption is a beautiful thing.
If rape, they can go immediately and get a D & C and in elected cases, there are so many forms of birth control, there is NO reason to even get pregnant. If the mother's health or life is at risk, it then becomes a medical procedure. It can be simple if women adhere to their business of deciding to take the chance to become pregnant or not, there in is the choice... If they saw an abortion in person, I think they would be shocked and revolted and certainly guilty of taking a life.
It is my opinion that the discussion around abortion lacks critical thinking from a medical perspective. As you argued the question of viability of the baby and the issue of rape, I believe the key issue here is the abortion method.
I suspect most people have no idea that when SCOTUS overturned Roe v Wade, the actual court case was Dobbs v Jackson.
Dobbs v Jackson was a case brought in Mississippi that changed the statute from allowing an abortion at up to 16 weeks to allowing it up to 15 weeks. Jackson was an abortion provider who was seemingly fine with the law at 16 weeks (4 months), but objected to the 15 week limit. The bottom line was that the 15 week limit banned the D&E procedure
After viewing the video, it becomes rather obvious why the law was changed. D&E is a brutal form of murder.
People who argue that SCOTUS was wrong to overturn Roe or otherwise rule that Mississippi can make this law, probably have no idea what they are arguing for (brutal murder).
I suspect that if the public was shown the video I shared with you, they would overwhelmingly vote to ban this procedure (with a few health exceptions).
Going back to critical thinking, it is almost certain that a woman knows she is pregnant before the 15th week. Usually, she knows well before that time because her biology (science) informs her. On top of that, pregnancy tests are cheap and available everywhere.
There is not much in the way of logical argument that banning abortion after 15 weeks is an infringement on a woman’s right to “health care.”

Vicki: Good points, TY.

Ray: TY for your good observations, and bringing our attention to the Dobbs case.
