When my daughters get pregnant, I want them to have the freedom to decide but not be forced into making a choice on whether to abort or not. I will not want them to shuffle through multiple regulations to find out whether they will be criminals in this state but not criminals in that state.
In this series, I am not saying that women who have abortions are criminals. I rather discuss abortion policies and I am saying that, allowing abortion in certain circumstances and certain states, forces women to commit murder there instead of here. No offense intended. I use the word “murder” to convey my message more efficiently. It makes no sense that some states allow abortion while others do not. However, in those states that forbid it, a woman whose life is in danger, who was raped, or who was the victim of incest is allowed to abort. Thus, even when the pregnant woman is sick or a victim, lawmakers get to make her decision for her.
When something is made illegal, it is made criminal. A woman in whose state abortion is illegal can simply travel to another state to have one if such a state allows it. Practically abortion regulations are telling a woman, “You cannot kill here, but you can kill over there.” A woman must not be allowed nor must she be forbidden to have an abortion; she must want to have it or not have it whether she was raped, or whether her life and that of her fetus are in danger. Lawmakers are too much involved in a woman’s life. America is becoming so polarized that politicians take free will from a woman’s decision.
One side wants to allow abortion while the other wants to forbid it, and out of all those politics, the woman is being treated as a dumb child incapable of fending for herself. Having an abortion should not be a secret, let alone an act of shame and fear of being persecuted, cast out, chastised. Did you hear about that man in Texas who sued three women for helping his wife get an abortion? Abortion must not be about pro-choice or pro-life but about freedom to decide. It must be neither legal nor must it be illegal; it must simply be the woman’s decision to have one. Abortion regulations are unjust and unfair, not because they are arguably illegal but because they want a woman’s life to be in danger, or want the woman to be a victim for politicians to make her decision for her.
