Editorial: Abortion pill extremists are disingenuous absolutists

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

When the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe vs. Wade last year, freeing states to limit or ban abortion, we knew abortion pills would become a target.

What’s the point of a law, after all, that can be circumvented by using a few pills shipped to private homes anywhere in the country after a simple telehealth or online appointment?

Sure enough, anti-abortion activists and partisan judges are proceeding on multiple fronts to make it harder to safely end pregnancies via medication, currently, and rightly, America’s most popular method.

This unsettled time in the law poses big risks for the rights of individuals and businesses. In their zeal to end abortion, its opponents could undermine the federal government’s ability to regulate commerce, ensure food and drugs are safe and maintain privacy on the internet.

1. And I believe that

This particular drug is used for other medical purposes.

What ever happened to the idea that it's illegal to practice medicine without a license? Isn't that what these lawmakers are doing?

2. Because this deserves more rights than living, breathing pregnant people:

Pregnancy tissue at six weeks.
This does not have a heartbeat.

3. "Disingenuous absolutists" is absolutely right. They just don't care that other people do not share

their belief that personhood begins at conception or that a fertilized egg has more rights than a fully formed adult woman.

So where does that leave us when the so-called "pro-lifers" refuse to compromise? At some point, the opinion of the majority of voters in the US (the pro-choicers) needs to prevail.
