Last week, the Missouri Senate passed a bill that would ban abortion after 8 weeks of pregnancy. The only exception is in the case of medical emergency, not in the cases of rape or incest. This is one of many, many hyper-restrictive abortion bills that have been pushed through by a few key senators. Many women don't even know they're pregnant until the sixth or seventh weeks, making this law very unreasonable. The decades old court decision, Roe v. Wade is being threatened to be overturned with new conservative supreme court justices.
I think it's inhumane and unconstitutional to criminalize abortion. Banning abortion won't reduce abortion, it'll merely reduce safe abortions, and women deserve bodily autonomy--as do all people.
