Actually, it does matter. In only 0.3% of abortions is a woman pregnant against her will (due to rape).
So a baby conceived in rape or incest is less worth protecting in your eyes? If you had sex willing even if you used bc and had an unplanned pregnancy the woman’s desires don’t count.
The word RINO is like words like socialist, Marxist, privilege, oppressor, fair, fascist, NAZI and dozens of other words mean literally nothing. It means nothing more than the person using the word disagrees with the person they speak of.
People with 90+ lifetime ACU ratings have been called RINO.
Welcome to the time when the political litmus test has become a you know what size contest.
There are extremely few women who get pregnant against their will. Only 0.3% of abortions are due to rape. 95% of unintended pregnancies are due to women VOLUNTARILY participating in unprotected sex, by their own admission (Guttmacher). Getting pregnant was NOT against their will. It was a risk they DELIBERATELY chose to take.
Just because there are "extremely few" who get pregnant against their will is no reason to force them to go through pregnancy and give birth to their rapist's baby. Some politicians are advocating for just that scenario.
I also would not be surprised if the number of rape victims is severely under reported. I suppose many of them just quietly go get an abortion and are not counted by Guttmacher or anyone else. They may not be able to do that anymore if some extremists get their way, because they would have to go public with their most intimate details, reporting to police and courts before they are allowed to abort.

For the functionally illiterate that might be so. I think you and I know what all these words mean. Indiscriminate use of words as insults should not be embraced. It should be called out every time.
Women know that they're not using birth control when having sex and are able to report that fact to Guttmacher. That clearly indicates voluntarily participation in unprotected sex.
It indicates no such thing. The Guttmacher report is not black and white; there are many variables in the study. Anyone who thoroughly reads and properly understands the study would know that.

Sad but true.

Doctors know there's no way to save an ectopic pregnancy, or any other pregnancy that threatens the life of the mother. Women know there's no way to save an ectopic pregnancy. Apparently politicians do not.
The potential for tragedy is horrific.

Define "convenience". Now ask a pregnant woman to define "convenience." Don't be surprised if they're not the same.

Who are these politicians who want "no restriction" on abortion? Please be specific, and cite their positions.

Why would any girl want to go through pregnancy, delivery, and adoption at that age?

If you're telling a woman she can't have an abortion, you're forcing her to give birth.

Exactly! Thank you!
