Hate to dissolution your preconceived (no pun intended) notions but I had mine from an encounter in my martial bed, 13 years after having the last of our planned ones

The Constitution doesn't take a position on either issue, which is why both decisions were the wrong decision and should be overturned.

How many success stories began ... ? I was born with a silver spoon and all the advantages. They most generally begin ... I had a chit head for a father, or raised in a group home I learned, or ...

Life isn't perfect and there are so many that will never find that out.

However, while all this is well and good, our wants wills, and desires are tools used to manipulate and yes while there are those back room, back alley abortions, some how there has to be an economically and sociably acceptable answer that will get us closer to a good end.

Sure wish that answer didn't involve a life ending in death, but then life isn't perfect and neither are our laws that govern our behaviors.

I kind of understand what you're suggesting here , I hope, that these issues shouldn't have even be brought up in the first place?
To that I would agree except that too many other things have impacted those things that clarification ended up being needed

Funny how the States only want their sovereignty when the issues are less controversial and when they want the federal government's money.

No I don’t agree with overturning these items.

Perhaps I'm more libertarian, but to answer the OP's question:

No.

In principle, I'm opposed to both, but the people have spoken. I can accept that.

Live your life in the way you choose without impacting my rights or my life choices and we'll be fine.

Not many but some I’m sure. But then again we’ll have women using coat hangars and going to back alley clinics. We can’t go back to that. I do wish though that some women, note some, would stop using abortion as birth control. There’s no excuse to have two or three or more abortions. That’s disgusting. Try using actual birth control or better yet keep your legs closed until you can support a child properly. Also fathers to be need to man up and support their offspring and stop impregnating multiple women. There are thousands waiting to adopt. Be responsible.
