My thoughts about the whole abortion thing going on in the US.

First I must say that I'm a white male who is not American. I have been on the fence about the whole subject of abortion.

I'm against abortion being used as birth control. 1/4 women in America have had an abortion. I'm aware of things like rape and deadbeat fathers being a reason for abortion but 1/4 leads me to believe too many women are doing it because they've had unprotected sex and want to reverse the mistake. I've seen A LOT of online comments of people saying that it should be legal regardless of rape.

I never liked the argument of, "it's my body and the government can't tell me what to do with it". None of us can put drugs into our body and cross borders. You can't sell your on body parts/organs. We can't masturbate in public. None of us can be a threat to ourselves without someone checking up on our well-being. If someone murders a pregnant woman, they will be charged with both, not just for the pregnant woman.

Having said all that, I think that Missouri and Alabama has gone way too far. Women should be allowed to have abortions in cases like rape. I could even understand knowing your child would have some "deformity" and wanting to abort it because of feeling bad about having a child suffer. The 99-year prison sentence is just comical. 99 years? Really? I'm thinking more like a fine. There has to be nuance with the subject of abortion.

It's okay if you disagree with me, like I said, I'm on the fence.
