Nobody wants abortions for no good reason. The key is that it's a decision that should be left to the doctor and the patient. Every person has their own threshold for what constitutes a "good" reason, and my beliefs on the matter aren't more valid than anyone else's. Why should I make medical decisions for any person? Why would anyone expect personal morals to be the standard by which everyone must live?
If you want to have an abortion for fun at 6 weeks, have at it. If you want that at 8 months, you’re not going to find many people agreeing with you.
Republicans says that’s what Dems want. It’s not.
At 8 months you have all your baby stuff and a name picked out. If a tiny fraction of a percent of abortions are "for fun" at 8 months it is not a reason to prevent abortions for all
But I think we’re all saying the same thing. Nobody wants abortions at 8 months for fun. They’re saying we actually want them to occur.
