I had the same conversation today with a family member about abortion.

“Okay. You’ve known a lot of women in your life. Who is getting an abortion at nine months?”

Followed later by "If someone is getting an ‘abortion’ at nine months, it’s because someone is dying. Either the mother is dying or the baby has encephalitis and is going to die painfully. Nobody is going through mine months of pregnancy only to then get an abortion.

I also dropped the idea that these laws are allowing rapists to choose the mother of their children. Not all states have exceptions, and often the ones that do require a conviction of rape. Do you know how difficult a conviction of rape is? First, it’s a difficult crime to prove. Second, pleading down to sexual assault means it’s no longer rape. You know who I primarily want making that decision? The girl can ultimately decide what happened and what she wants to do about it no police involved.

This discussion is all about whether you want cops showing up to arrest doctors and recently pregnant women who may or may not have wanted to be pregnant.
