That's strange, I thought people DID advocate the right to shoot people in their house or on their property.

It would be nice if one day I heard a discussion on ways to reduce the number of abortions. Meanwhile, I've seen arguments about the legality of it, which I submit would not reduce the number, thousands of times.

How about jail time for parents that conceive without passing a proper fitness test for parenting.

The critical point is that some want to elevate a zygote to a person and some even want that 'person' to have a separate existence that acts as a yoke on the mother.

What sort of 'life' are we talking about when a woman does not want to cope with a pregnancy and its aftermath?

Yup, that's what conservatives want.
Poor people will suffer
The rich will still get out of state safe abortions
sad
Banning abortion is akin to banning alcohol. Women will still have abortions and people will still drink. Its reality
