Opinion | Chrissy Teigen has shown what abortion is. Some refuse to accept it.

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Same with abortion.
43% : Unless you believe that a pregnancy should never be deliberately ended -- and few people do -- abortion should be treated as what it is: a medical procedure.
42% : That's why insisting that abortion should be "safe, legal and rare" might have been smart political strategy, but it has never made logical sense.
42% : I'm grateful to Teigen for setting the record straight about what abortion really is -- and what really was an abortion.
38% : And yet, because we hear so often that abortions are acts of thoughtlessness, selfishness or cruelty, people find it hard to acknowledge that abortion can be a medical necessity, or to call tragedies such as Teigen's by the correct name.
38% : Like most medical procedures, abortion is a solution to a problem."
37% : It extends, I think, to anyone who supports abortion rights but still insists that abortion "is not a good thing," as Kat Rosenfield argued in a column blaming the left for the post-Roe predicament we're now in.
35% : Kate Cohen: Forget 'abortion.'
35% : Abortion is a medical answer to a problem -- either an unwanted pregnancy or a wanted pregnancy gone terribly wrong.
