I'm not saying it's necessarily right, I'm just saying it's how they've always done it. Obstetricians are concerned with babies and the baby process; abortion politics only even entered into it in the last few decades. I think it's important not to have a situation where the doctor says you're 20 weeks but the law says you're 18 weeks.

I don't think the LAW should have any say in it whatsoever. The LAW needs to stay the eff out of my womb and my relationship with my doctor, tyvm.

And FOR THE RECORD, I have had an abortion. And I've NOT had an abortion and birthed and raised the (unexpected) child, alone. And I've had a baby within a marriage. And I, myself, am adopted. So I think I am pretty fucking qualified to speak to this matter.

The government needs to butt the fuck out. So do men who have never and will never experience pregnancy, childbirth and nursing. None of THEM are going to help buy the formula and diapers, find daycare so I can work, or feel the pain of MY loss after a termination.
