Who argues that all abortions are the same or that everybody feels late abortions are “an easy pill to swallow?
I think the majority of people in Wisconsin understood — perhaps even better than you — the complex and uniquely personal issues involved in this issue, and
therefore rejected the Conservative Judge’s political position.
Everybody should already know that “Roe vs. Wade” itself allowed state laws (and of course women themselves and their doctors) to appreciate deeply and distinguish as well as possible what was involved in having abortions in early and later stages of pregnancy.
Well, I think it is obvious Wisconsin voters
do support women and their rights, and are
not trying to “erase” them.
Here is a fine study of the reality of — also the rarity and reasons for — women & their doctors choosing to go through with very late abortions. It was written just before Roe vs. Wade was overthrown. It explains well the agonizing and complex decisions pregnant women had to make even then — when they had the opportunity at all — to go through with “late term abortions.”
I hope you find it informative and that it helps you to see things the way most of us who defend women’s right to abortion usually see this matter:
This brief explains why individuals may seek abortions later in pregnancy, how often these procedures occur, and the various laws which regulate access to abortions later in pregnancy across the country.
