A fertilized egg may represent life, but that certainly doesn't confer upon it automatic full-fledged U.S. citizenship, much less full-fledged humanity, until after the fetus can successfully survive outside the womb, which is usually in the third trimester.

I really wish Roe v Wade didn't exist at all. Every woman should have the natural right to make that decision for herself.

Case 1: Puerto Rico. Pregnant mom denied cancer treatment so as to preserve the fetus. End result: Mom dies, fetus dies.

Case 2: Ireland. Miscarried fetus remains alive in womb. State will not abort fetus until it dies on its own which eventually it does but not before infecting the blood of the mother. 2 days later, mother dies from blood infection. End result: Mom dies and fetus dies.

Abortion is far from a yes/no issue. It is horrific it is a tragedy. Equally tragic is the death of the mother. The circumstance around any one abortion decision can be too various to subject a woman to the rigid whims of some laws probably written by a man. She and her doctor are to have the opportunity to make a decision based on her unique case alone.
