If a woman gets pregnant and doesn’t want to have a child, the state should under no circumstances compel her to do so. If the woman’s community convinces her, for whatever reasons, to have the child, that’s cool. If the woman’s conscience tells her to go through with the pregnancy even though she has grave concerns, that’s cool. If the woman planned to get pregnant and bring a much wanted child into being, that’s the coolest of all. But the state has no place in that decision, none at all, not even a tiny place in that decision, period, end of story. This should have been settled 50 years ago. It sucks that it’s still a thing.
