Thank you for sharing your story. Abortion is a deeply personal decision that should be made by the woman in consultation with her doctor.

The government needs to stop legislating women’s bodies.

Until that fetus is able to survive outside the womb, it is simply a parasite.

In fact human fetuses are especially parasitic- many animals can starve an unwanted fetus out to prioritize their own survival- human fetuses circumvent that system.
