They're pretty reasonable restrictions when you read past the hysteria.

Restricting abortion is pretty reasonable once you get past the hysteria of the pro-choice crowd.

Restrictions in the last trimester? I'm okay with that, honestly, the Supreme Court is okay with that, and so is most of the country.

A complete and total ban on abortion from the moment of conception? Not so much.

Lack of heartbeat determines death.
So a fetus heartbeat at 6 to 7 weeks should determine life.
Sounds reasonable to me. Let's do it.

Also, since the fetus has it's own unique genetic code, that code is a unique "serial number" for a human being. So abortion is murder pretty much from the start.
Sounds reasonable to me. Don't get hysterical.

Female biology dictates that a lot of women are unable to know they're pregnant until they're at least that far into a pregnancy. When it comes to pregnancy tests: "You should wait until the week after your missed period for the most accurate result." https://www.healthline.com/health/pregnancy/five-signs-to-take-pregnancy-test

Even if they did, a ban as early as 6-7 weeks would leave only a tiny sliver of time for women to decide and act on it. And if there's something else going on in her life or any kind of wait at the abortion clinic? Forget about it. That's a flat-out undue burden under Planned Parenthood v. Casey.

A fetus may have rights, but a woman has her own rights as well.

There is a big problem in telling women they: A. Can't control their own wombs, and B. Consigning them to raising a child that they may not be financially equipped or mentally or emotionally prepared for. Having a child is probably the single most significant decision a person can make in their entire lives.

Finally, labeling abortion as murder would as a practical matter necessarily result in imprisoning millions of women, many of them mothers already or planning to become mothers later.

No hysteria, just facts.

If only we knew what caused pregnancy and had measures to prevent it from happening.

I think brainwaves make a better marker. I'd be open to restricting abortion once a foetus has brainwaves.

That is an interesting point and has merit. Never heard that before. Interesting.

Uh . . . actually no.
