Everybody is talking.

Everybody is talking about it.

But what is “it”?

“it” is “should the mother be a higher priority than the fetus.” The fetus being a human living and growing inside a mother.

Another way of saying it is: Does society, represented by the government, have a responsibility to protect human life? If you say yes, as you should, then where is the line drawn?

Is it when life begins or some other time in the future?

Roe v Wade was decided in 1973. The Supreme Court found that the ‘compelling’ point, in the light of present medical knowledge, is at approximately the end of the first trimester and in that time frame the woman has the exclusive right to pursue an abortion, not subject to any state intervention.

Subsequent to approximately the end of the first trimester, “the State in promoting its interest in the potentiality of human life may, if it chooses, regulate, ………”

The Roe v Wade decision did not conclude that abortion was “OK” anytime, anywhere, anyhow.

Reversing the Roe v Wade decision reverts the laws related to abortion back to the states. The voters in each state can elect their representatives to create state law to match the voters preference.

Since 1973 science has progress to the point that life can be detected much earlier than the end of the first trimester.

A woman today can decide not to get pregnant with all the prevention methods available today. Getting pregnant, or not, is a choice a woman can make. Once pregnant the choice is to kill a human life growing in her body or give birth to a human child. Adoption is an option.

The issue remains is human life to be protected.
