I think the bottom line is that everyone is entitled to their opinion. Think what you want. But when you inflict your opinion on someone else, you cross a line. When your opinion hurts someone else, you’ve gone too far.

A fetus doesn’t become a person when the heart starts. It becomes a person when its body can function without the critical support of another person. As long as it needs a uterus, it’s existence depends on the owner of said uterus.

That’s _my_ opinion. With a big fat period.

Maybe what these legislators should be doing is finding a way to develop an artificial womb. Then men can make their own damn babies and abortions become donations.

Silly me, that wouldn’t work either. Those same me. Would have to quit work to look after them. And we all know _that_ doesn’t happen.

Sorry, I’m a Canadian watching your American shit show wondering how you all get through a day. Read The Handmaid’s Tale. Margaret Atwood. You’re getting closer every day.
