So does all that mean the child doesn't suffer? Does that mean that their suffering is preferable to abortion? Does it mean that the mother's potential life long side affects didn't occur? That her real risk of poverty, medical conditions, and death never happened? Or do all those things just mean absolutely nothing?

It's not a game. It's not about convenience. It's about being able to choose for yourself, your family, and your body. There is literally no other situation in which we force people to give up their bodies, risk their lives, or give up their livelihood for someone else.

I have two children. They could need one of my organs to survive, but no one could force me to donate. No one. No one could force my husband. No one could force you. But when a person is pregnant, suddenly their body isn't their own anymore. It's viewed as an irreversible event that we have to leave up to chance no matter what. People talk about children who would be alive if not for abortion. What about subsequent children who wouldn't be alive if an earlier pregnancy wasn't aborted? The women who would have died if not for abortion?

Sure, there's the "for the life of the mother exception", but in reality, it doesn't work out so clear cut. Doctors are afraid of spending their lives in jail and having insurmountable fines, so they wait until women are dying right here, right now. Women risk their fertility and their lives. Families risk losing their mother because of these unnecessarily harsh consequences. There's no other situation in which we say, hey, you might die from this, but we won't do anything until you're dying right this second because if someone can "prove" that you wouldn't have died, then we'll go to jail for life.
