Me personally? I can’t ever carry a child physically, so I don’t feel that my opinion should ever matter at the individual level (and imo, the choice should always be at the individual level and not societal/political level). Asking for black letters rules and laws for something as gray as abortion is nonsensical imo. There are too many factors and too many circumstantial details that go into a decision like that. I don’t personally believe that having a blanket rule (even with exceptions, which are just mini blanket rules within the rule) makes sense because everyone’s situation will be different. I’m firmly of the opinion that the person carrying the potential child physically is the only person whose opinion matters. And to be even more “radical,” I’m also of the opinion that they should not need an excuse or justification to make that decision. It is their body that acts as the host and they, and they alone, should be the ones who make decisions about their bodies. Full stop.
