So first off, I'll start of as saying I am pro abortion, plenty of them suckers , we're just better off without them. Seb may get his panties in a bunch ut who cares.

I was more interested in the legalities.

How is a right to privacy a right to kill a fetus but not the right to shoot heroin in my eyeballs?

Both are private medical decisions.Abortion clearly has a greater direct impact and is sexist since the man has no say, but not the point.

It's really a reach that only abortion is protected.

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

This is the part of the law that supposedly offers the right to an abortion.

Whatever you feel about the merits or demerits of abortion, Roe vs. Wade was an atrocious piece of judicial legislation which deserves to be overturned in its entirety.

Liberals suck at jurisprudence, there's just no way of getting around it.

That's kind of my point. I agree with wide availability of abortions. But constitutionally Im om the fence. It just makes no sense to grant this exception under that guise if it doesn't apply to other situations.

And it really cant get more sexist that mothers have the sole decision to have a child or abort because they would endure 9 months of duty, and yet they can legally attatch wages and send the man to jail for something he has far less say in.

Far less as both parties presumably chose to fuck.
