People who decide that an abortion is not a choice someone might make.

They have decided to ignore human nature.You know.

I wish we were all smarter. Perhaps a law to keep dumb people from owning a business?

How far are the right wing authoritarian/Christian reconstructionists willing to go with rolling back laws/rights? Regarding Italians (Alito)? Not allowing women to hold office (Coney-Barrett or Sotomayor)? Not allowing African-Americans to hold office (Hi, Clarence!)?

Don't they realize that abortion or not, White people fertility rate has been lower than non Whites, so limiting abortion will serve to increase the number of non Whites, making replacement of Whites happen that much faster?

No one has to leave the country to get an abortion. I suggest you look at this map: https://reproductiverights....These other countries you mention have some restrictions on abortion as well:Sweden: after the 18th week. https://www.wsj.com/article....UK-England, Scotland and Wales: 23 weeks, 6 days with "no gestational limit for abortions if there’s evidence of a fatal fetal abnormality or a significant risk to your life if you continue with the pregnancy". https://www.msichoices.org.....Hong Kong: "In Hong Kong, termination of pregnancy can only be performed within 24 weeks of pregnancy unless it is necessary to save the life of the pregnant woman. However, each medical provider, the doctor or hospital, may have different time limits. " https://www.healthymatters....

I know of no state in the US that doesn't allow abortion to save the life or health of the mother.

Yes. Egyptians were having abortions.Abortion should not make people so uncomfortable.It is normal.

like having sex.It is natures way of insuring continuation of the species.The Right to an abortion is here, like Booze was here before prohibition.

We shall relive the '20's and '30s and be gone by the '40sUnless we can govern ourselves in peace.

WEll?

My point is that legalizing abortion will be difficult for poor single women and unwanted children.It means twelve year old girls who get raped by their dad will be obliged to carry the fetus to term.Wealthy White Women won't notice a bump in the road.

No, abortion is not "nature's way". It's a human-made intervention, whatever one's opinion of it.
