People aren't forced that's true... but they are and have been operating on false facts....
There is no such thing as a "false fact." A thing is either factual or it is not.
a fetus is not just a lump of cells
Well actually....yes it is.
A single cell even exhibits a characteristic known as irritability meaning they respond to stimuli or changes in environment. This is most usually what you people who try to discuss abortion from your "feelings centered" perspective mistake for "pain."
All living organisms exhibit this characteristic, even plants and some unicellular organisms.
Would you consider the harvesting of plants (because their plant cells demonstrate the characteristic of irritability that you mistake for "pain") as murder also?
If not then you're apparently guilty of at least one double standard contradiction huh?
. and just like every other living thing that baby wants to live
Baby?
That term doesn't really mean much in scientific (factual) terms.
A puppy is a "baby."
So is a lamb, and a calf, and a kitten, and so on.
But you anti-choice/ anti-freedom people use it to pull at the heart strings and elicit emotion surrounding this procedure which is actually completely clinical, sterile, scientific, medical.
a huge majority of woman said that 16 weeks is too far along to abort a healthy baby by a healthy mother
Have you got a credible link to support this "huge majority" claim?
Most polling has been showing for quite sometime that a strong majority of voters, especially women, support the right to choose and were/are apposed to the Dobbs decision.
This is what (mainly) led to Trump's defeat and then to the Republican's defeat in the 2022 midterms.
