Regarding the inalienable right of an individual to maintain the privacy and control of their body, specifically in the realm of reproductive advocasy, we may always find a historically relevant perspective paraphrased from Ms. Margaret Sanger.
We maintain that a person possessing an adequate functional fund of knowledge of their reproductive anatomy and functionality is the finest judge of the time, circumstance & conditions under which their pregnancy should be managed. We continue to assert that it is the right, regardless of all and any other considerations, to ascertain if they will have a child or not, and how many children they will decide to bring into the world if they choose to decide to become a parent . . . Only upon a free, self-determining individual can lay the foundation for any unshakable structure of gender betterment.

Thank you for addressing such an important issue. I found it interesting that you would draw about the sometimes forgotten words of Ms. Sanger, she is a Beacon to us all, and an example of how the most repressive and ridiculous laws (such as The Comstock Laws banning Condom use literature) can be changed with persisitence and tenacity towards the ideals of a world focused on the humanistic quality of self determination.

Thank you for your input.
If one looks at previous threads of this type of comment, one would ask, to initiate a grounded conversation, is there any situation that you would allow an abortion?
Previously, seemingly reasonable, that is to most the population of this country, and the vast majority of western civilizations – For the protection of the life of the mother seems like a reasonable context to allow abortion.
Examples include, and there are many more,
1) Cancer of the Cervix,
2) Tubal pregnancies,
3) The many diseases that the mother has a >50% mortality rate, ie Epstein’s heart anomaly,
4) Rape of a women without their (implied) consent,
5) Episodes when the best intentions, like a tubal ligation and a vasectomy are performed but they fail, sadly this happens, and there are many more examples. These are not insignificant examples, as one sees them commonly in everyday experience as reported in the peer reviewed literature, and anecdotal experience. This is a confluence of opinion by both sides of the issue.
So, as a starting point to understand perspectives, do any of these in your opinion, warrant allowing a women to have the right to make the choice about what she would do with her own body, or do you feel that under all these circumstances the women has no right to choose what happens to her body? This would be educational to the discussion. Thank you for your kind participation.
