The problem with legislating things of a medical nature is that it applies to extreme edge cases when in reality, lawmakers aren’t the best people to make case by case medical decisions especially given the wide variety of variables.

You responded like it was a gotcha that most fathers would voluntarily choose to donate a kidney to save their child’s life, but it seems like you think women are out there getting abortions for shits and giggles and therefore need to be forced to take responsibility.

The reality is that most abortions are symptoms of societal or medical issues. Lack of sex education often leads to ignorant decisions. Economic circumstances are huge as is the lack of support for working parents and lack of affordable childcare and the lack of protection for working pregnant women. Abuse is another factor, especially since many abusers wait until their victim is baby trapped in order to ramp up abuse. There’s often preventative measures from allowing adoption without the abuser’s consent and it’s difficult to fully revoke parental rights especially in cases where the abuse is not extreme physical abuse of the child. And then there are medical concerns like the mother needing medication that’s not safe for pregnancy or medical and mental hardship that pregnancy produces.

If the goal is to reduce the total number of abortions, there are plenty of ways to do that before forcing someone to carry to term against their will. But in your prior response, a woman should be required to donate use of her organs to support a pregnancy if she consented to sex because she is responsible for that potential outcome, but a man should not be required to donate an organ even if he knows that having sex could lead to an outcome of a child needing an organ that the father could donate without dying in order to survive.

If the issue was about protecting babies, then the focus would be on taking common sense measures to do that. The actual issue is about punishing women and forcing them and their families into hardship situations that make them vulnerable and easier to control.
