Pro-Abortion Absolutism and Its Consequences

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : The Second Amendment guarantees the right to keep and bear arms, to be sure, but the government can legally forbid private citizens from owning machine guns.
51% : This is not only alarming in itself, but also portends even more radical anti-fetal public policies to come:Embryonic stem cell research (ESCR) has long treated early embryos as fodder for experiments.
50% : Thus, the World Health Organization recently published its "Abortion Care Guideline," which states categorically that abortion should be accessible "on the request of the woman, girl or other pregnant person."
45% : But now, even that minor restraint has been repealed by the International Society for Stem Cell Research, meaning that no time limits govern when the unborn can be experimented upon.
45% : If abortion is an absolute right, the state must concomitantly guarantee easy access to terminations.
44% : If passed, pro-life states such as Indiana -- which just restricted abortion (with some exceptions) -- would have their democratically enacted policies preempted by federal fiat.
42% : But now, the first absolute right is being conjured -- unconditional access to abortion at any time, for any reason, and without cost.
41% : Similarly, a controversial essay published in the Journal of Medical Ethics argued in favor of what the authors of the article dubbed "after-birth abortion," in order to "emphasise that the moral status of the individual killed is comparable with that of a fetus."
40% : Indeed, several notable bioethicists have repeatedly argued that infanticide is morally equivalent to abortion.
40% : If that is true -- and the right to abortion becomes absolute -- why would it not also include an unconditional right to kill unwanted newborns?
37% : Religious liberty can be restricted too -- just ask the Christian florist found financially liable because her faith forbade serving a same sex wedding.
30% : Princeton's notorious Peter Singer has stated many times that since neither an unborn nor a newborn baby is a "person," infanticide and abortion are morally indistinguishable.
