It should be illegal to force another human being to forgo with something that affects their lives physically, emotionally and mentally. Many women cannot carry to full term, some are left with complications from pregnancy also before even giving birth. There are a lot of reasons why a woman would want or need an abortion and it shouldn’t be anyone else’s business as to why or if they should be allowed.

This is not merely a matter of personal autonomy, but a question of when life begins and who gets to make that determination. For instance, consider the case of a fetus that is viable outside the womb. If a woman wanted to have an abortion at this stage, many would argue that the rights of the fetus should be taken into consideration, as it could potentially survive and lead a full life independent of the mother. What are your thoughts on this? How do we balance the rights of the mother and the potential life of the fetus in such scenarios?
Indeed, the "my body, my choice" argument is powerful and speaks to the basic human right of autonomy. However, some argue that the rights of the unborn also deserve consideration. For example, in cases where the pregnancy is not a direct threat to the mother's life, some argue that the unborn child's right to life should also be valued.
However, I completely agree with you that no one should be forced to risk their health or life. The question then arises: where do we draw the line between the rights of the mother and the rights of the unborn? This is a complex issue that requires thoughtful discussion.
What are your thoughts on this balance between the mother's rights and the rights of the unborn? How do you think we can reconcile these two perspectives?

Yes I agree. I believe that women should be able to choose if they can abort or not. If someone was underage, or raped, or it was incest, or if there was complications with the pregnancy then I believe that abortion should be available and not criminalized. We shouldn't force a woman to carry on an abortion if she can't, but if a woman keeps getting pregnant and then aborting and then getting pregnant and the aborting, then we should look into that and maybe give her birth control or something like that. It is up to the woman and her beliefs, and after all it is her body. There will always be people who dislike abortion or people who like abortion, so I think that this matter is different for every individual and the option should always be available without it being told that it is good or bad.
