Roe-v-Wade was finalized in 1973, prior to that the ONLY individuals that could get a “legal abortion” were financial stable white females as they had their doctors admit them into the hospital for dilatation & curettage (D&C) surgery or take the only birth control pill available at the time, Ortho-Novum. The rest of American women had to rely on “that person” with the knitting needles or coat hangers.
Fast forward to 2021 and TX has now enacted a law that restricts abortion & allows no consideration for rape, incest, or being mentally challenged. I have yet to hear from a “conservative Christian” how a fetus conceived via rape, incest or one being mentally challenged is a blessing. Now to my understanding if a female presents to any medical establishment & informs she has been raped the morning-after pill is given immediately, but there is no morning-after pill when conception is due to incest or to the mentally challenged. I do not have a logical understanding of how the “conservative Christian” believes it is okay for a child as young as 8 years old to give birth to a baby or a mentally challenged female to understand the changes in her body. And yes, an 8-year-old can get pregnant.
Now being fair to the “conservative Christian” anyone getting pregnant in 2021 is doing so because she wants a child or she believes “this man” will marry her. There are more than enough birth control methods on the market in 2021 & there is no logical explanation as to why a female is pregnant in 2021. Again, aside from rape, incest, or being mentally challenged, there is no logical explanation for unwanted pregnancy in 2021.
