Maria, love your writing and have been following you for years... i'm a bit confused by your comment on not wanting to have a kid if abortion becomes outlawed? it's a bit disturbing that to only want to have it if you can abort it! but maybe i'm misunderstanding the point
Thank you for your question! I’m not saying that the only reason I’d want to have a baby is to abort it. Abortion care, however, is prenatal care. Should someone get pregnant, and the pregnancy was not compatible with life, or if she miscarried and needed medical intervention in order to pass the pregnancy, that is an abortion. There is currently a case in Texas in which multiple women are suing the state because the abortion bans there made it so they had to carry pregnancies that were very much wanted but that were no longer compatible with life. Pregnancy comes with so many health risks, and I don’t to sacrifice my life in order to bring another into the world just because non-medical professionals have legislated I should. I hope that expands your understanding!
