    That’s fine, but it seems disingenuous to use the general term ‘health care’ when you could be more specific with what that health care actually is.

      I don’t think it’s disingenuous at all. It’s treatment for a woman’s health. Calling out people for disapproving of health care is half the point.

      Abortion is health care.

        I mean, you literally said to call it by a general term to get people to think a certain way about it.

        I feel like we should tell them the specific information and let them make their own decision instead of resorting to sly tricks like this.

          It’s not a trick. It’s health care. People should think of it as health care because it is.

          Abortion is health care.

            Alright. I don’t think you’re going to see my point so I’ll just duck out.

            Have a nice day.

        Killing a 6 month premie isn’t abortion though. That fetus’ bodily autonomy was violated.

        Agreed that abortion is Healthcare. There’s also a tipping point where it’s no longer a cluster of cells, right?

          First off, when you say “isn’t abortion” it kinda sounds like you’re talking about mythical post-birth murder, which doesn’t happen and would be illegal. Not sure if you’re talking about that or not, but I thought I’d preface.

          Aside from that, when it’s “viable” it’s usually just induced labor. If it’s not induced, there’s a reason why they have to take more extreme measures.

          Aside from that, if you give an inch they take a mile. I would rather doctors and their patient be able to do what’s best for the patient’s health than to let the government interfere.
