Lawmaker's Goal: Overturn Roe v. Wade

"Abortion would be illegal for most women in Indiana, including victims of rape and incest, under a bill filed this week in the Indiana House. Indiana's legislators have chipped away at abortion for decades, imposing waiting periods and other restrictions, but the measure proposed by Rep. Troy A. Woodruff (R-Vincennes), is the first direct attempt in years to outlaw most abortions. The only exception allowed under House Bill 1096 would be for a woman whose health or life would be permanently impaired if a pregnancy continued. The bill would define life as beginning at conception and make it a felony to perform all other abortions. Anyone convicted would face up to 8 years in prison."

Now, i won't get into my views on this subject because we would all be here for fucking DAYS. . .but to not allow a woman to have an abortion when she was raped by her father? I can't even put into words how wrong that is. A woman that is RAPED by anyone and becomes pregnant by that. . .I mean, pregnancy is hard enough, but could you imagine carrying a baby to term when that baby was conceived during an act that you didn't want to happen? Just. . .wow. . .really.


Abortion should be legal for one reason, and one reaason only, because it only affects women. Now, some may argue that it does involve men, but only if they perform the abortion, so it really doesn't affect them at all except monitarily. A woman, whether married or what-have-you, can have an abortion without her SOs consent. A man who does not want to be a father cannot force a woman to have an abortion.

Therefore, the illegalization of abortion ONLY affects women. For this reason alone abortion should be legal. It should also be legal because it is MY body and I can do with it whatever I please - shave my head and dye it purple, tattoos all over my body, having 15 kids, or NOT having 15 kids - MY choice, NOT yours!
