    What gives the woman ownership over DNA that is clearly not hers?

    That's the biggest boatload of horse puckey ever. On what do you base that opinion? Has anyone ever actually said those things to you? I'm guessing not.

    What we want is for the following to apply equally to all Americans, including women of childbearing age.

    Amendment IV, Section 1:

    The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

    I can think of no search more unreasonable that that of a woman's uterus.

    Amendment XIV, Section 1:

    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.

    Well, it IS her DNA. The question is whether or not a fetus should be considered a human being with rights. It's an age old debate, and it will never end,

    It is not her DNA. It is demonstrably unique and separate from the "birthing person", to use a term popular on your side of the aisle.

    It's virtually impossible to employ logic and reason with those whose arguments are entirely emotional, and mostly based on religious beliefs.

    Such as? Please describe what you mean, and if possible, research the percentages of these "uncommonly cruel" procedures among abortions in general. Be prepared to prove your point.

    I don't know about you, but I carry my parents DNA. I am pro-life, so I dont know about the "your side of the aisle". Are you pro-choice? I think there are better ways to reduce abortion than criminalize it.

    Yes. Its political football. Its at State level now, where is belongs, but looks like the fight continues and GOP is losing ground.

    There are things which makes it unique, but you do carry your parents DNA, which is why people inherit their looks from their parents.

    I'm sure it would appear that way to somebody who erroneously attributes personhood to a mindless collection of cells.

    We knew that over time there would be more middle ground found on this issue once Roe v Wade was overturned. Abortion isn't as big of a political football in places like Europe for that reason. That was one of the arguments to overturn it. Democrats were also only discussing elective abortion until birth. The two sides will now be forced to meet in the middle. The Supreme Court created an artificial backstop for this issue.

    Personally I think all women should be issued an AR at the legal age and trained on it. Men should be given waiting periods and thorough background checks.

    That hasn’t ever happened but glad to see republican fearmongering is working so well. The plan to get abortion has been in the works for a generation

    Most do agree with an upper limit — usually around 20 weeks. Even more believe that should be the call of medical professionals and their patients — not politicians

    That said, a strong majority does not support abortion on demand with no or nearly no restrictions

    Partial birth abortion.

    An abortion performed minutes prior to birth.

    There’s no constitutional support for abortion. Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg said that.
