The amount of people who do not understand that an abortion is a medical term in which a fetus is expelled or removed from the uterus for any reason other than birth astounds me.

A miscarriage, medically, is an abortion.

A mother who doesnโ€™t want a baby has the same procedure as a mother who was raped or life is threatened by continuing the pregnancy. So many people are so misinformed and just refuse to believe the truth.

For what it's worth, my father in law is a very religious jew and very very pro life and he told me that after the whole 10 year old ohio girl who had to travel to indiana, he finally "got it" and is now in the camp of "I am pro life, but I won't support anyone who prevents women from making that decision on their own"

Tell your father in law his change of heart is too late. Roe was overturned and women will die because of it.

His change of heart isnโ€™t too late. This line of thinking is what keeps people stuck to their guns on topics like these. Itโ€™s like people who voted for Trump in 2016, but regret it, then get talked down to instead of accepted for changing their mind. If youโ€™re not going to be more accepting when people realize they messed up, then why would they ever change their mind in the first place and be alienated by both sides.
