So is malnutrition, lack of childhood vaccination, lack of pediatric healthcare, etc. I would rather see the government put forth the effort to make things better for the children we already have than adding to the problem by forcing women to have children that they can’t afford to care for or want.
The truth is that children in the world are dying everyday and many of those people who would outlaw abortion really don’t care about that fact.
It may not be moral according to your values but I would rather the government not get involved in the decision of my wife and sisters and daughters to have a child or not.

Declaring an embryo or a fetus is a person with the same rights as the mother means that they can arrest and place pregnant women in restraints and force them to carry the baby to term. They’re heading that way in Alabama right now.
There has to be a right for women to choose if they want an abortion before viability. To do otherwise is to relegate women to second class status. Even more so than they already are.
This is why the passage of the Equal Rights Amendment is vital to resolving this issue.
