I think abortion is 100% morally wrong. I find it repugnant and think I would be very hard pressed to ever consider an abortion if I were a woman. Perhaps in the case of a severely disabled child.
I support the death penalty. I support lethal self defense. Obviously very different from abortion, but I believe the state should have limited power to end life.
I support in an all cases, at all times, abortion if the mother's life is in peril or if the child was the product of rape or rapeincest. I support at all times abortion if the child would be born severely disabled.
The vast majority of abortions are to young teens/twenties and very poor females. In some, but certainly not all, of these cases, a child is a huge economic drain on a woman or family, and there's a high rate of child neglect and abuse in these situations at all. Bottom line here, if someone doesn't want a child, there's a high frequency of the mother perpetuating the same shitty life situations to the next generation.
I also anti-population growth. From a practical standpoint, I think the country is better off with the extremely poor having a lower birth rate. I think the extremely poor are better off having a lower birth rate.
I would set a cut off point..14-15 weeks. No abortion after that (except rape/incest/life in peril). That covers like 95% of abortions anyway.
Do I have a soul? Who knows. I do know that I find abortion morally repugnant but I am willing to concede there are some situations where it may be a net positive.
I am enthusiastic about this court decision (though I am somewhat nervous about electoral blowback).
Not u/AntonioOfVenice, but I share this belief.
