Abortion isn't a political issue. It's a medical procedure. For those who have religious convictions that run counter to abortion, it's a moral issue. But at no point should it be a legal or a political issue.
But, in the United States, it's been made one. By one party.
The notion of conservative v liberals means something different in the U.S.A. than it does everywhere else around the world, so that makes it difficult to relate for the rest of us, so I won't go there.
I have seen some very open-minded people express the belief that banning abortion means a woman who is "intent on having one" (as though any woman has fantasies of the day where she'll get pregnant just so she can abort) will just have to find an alternative solution if she lives in a state that bans abortions. Except that's not the point. When half the population of a country can be robbed of autonomy over their private medical decisions, we are reminded that the U.S. constitution holds that all men are created equal, not all people.
I mean, how would U.S. society react if there were legal bans on treating prostate cancer? Or on Viagra? If a pregnancy is an act of God that must be protected by the law at the expense of the mother's human rights, then surely the same holds true for cancer or erectile disfunction? It's easy enough to make fun of that idea because we're all socialized into considering these issues as not having any moral weight. It's not for me to say why that is.
It's also a bit naive to think that a woman who wants or needs an abortion may have the time or ressources to avail herself of an alternative solution when the need arises. Abortion is the medical recourse for situations when the life of the mother is in danger. That's an emergency. The kind where ambulances flash lights and get to disregard road laws.
