People who need dialysis can't survive without it. Does that mean we can kill them just for the sake of convenience? You might want to think about the standard you're setting as there are many people who are dependent on external support for survival. Another example is diabetics and insulin. They can't live without it. Does that mean we can kill them just for the sake of convenience?
Not convenience abortions. From the ABC/WaPo poll taken after the SCOTUS decision was leaked:
Mother's physical health is endangered
82% keep them legal
12% make them illegal
Pregnancy caused by rape or incest
79% keep them legal
16% make them illegal
Serious birth defects detected
67% keep them legal
23% make them illegal
Convenience abortions (98.3% of all abortions)
48% keep them legal
45% make them illegal
The US is about evenly split on whether or not to keep
convenience abortions legal. Those are the abortions performed to kill
healthy babies in
healthy pregnancies, the "I don't want a baby because [insert random reason here]" abortions.
