If the people of a state support banning abortion by a majority, then that state should be able to pass a legislation banning abortion. That's how democracy works. The minority shouldn't have a "will " because the majority doesn't recognise abortion as "healthcare".

What makes you so adamant in saying it's a basic human right ? Have you ever actually seen videos of abortions being performed? Have you seen how the entire thing works right ? By calling it a human right, you are equating abortion to other necessities in our life that we take for granted, and its a bit tonedeaf on your part.
If a state is going to ban abortion, its because the majority of the people in those states wholeheartedly don't support abortion. If a state like Louisiana bans abortion, then you can't argue with the will of the Louisianian people. Democracy will always prevail in America.
European countries like France had stricter abortion laws than all of United States until yesterday, who are they exactly to lecture us?
I always wonder how they define "Christian". Usually seem like a rabble of 'Old Testament is literally true' freaks.
I wish you'd been aborted.

I love the way you think that's relevant on an issue like this.
No one is forcing those people to have an abortion. THEY are removing other people's bodily autonomy, and imposing their religious beliefs on others.
So much for religious freedom eh?
Mate, it's a basic right for a person to decide whether they are ready to give birth or want to give birth, yes.
Now, that does not mean I support abortions up until late stages of pregnancy, but barring absolute medical emergencies or complete lunatics (very rare), that doesn't happen, and definitely not in the UK.
If only the US powers that be gave so much to gun control.

The whole "late term abortion" thing that right wing nuts blather on and on about is a straw man argument.
No one gets to 8 months into a pregnancy and suddenly goes "Ahh you know what, I don't fancy this."
On those rare occasions when such procedures take place, it is generally the worst, most distressing day of that/those parent/s lives. They've most likely planned out the early months of that child's life. Maybe decorated a nursery, bought clothes, picked out a name etc etc, before they're suddenly thrust into a HORRIFIC situation where there are no options left other than to terminate a wanted pregnancy.
For these far right lunatics to weaponise those sorts of experiences to punt their own theocratic agenda is an act of such incredible cynicism and evil that I can hardly even come up with the words for it.
Why should it come to an abortion for a person to decide whether they are "ready" to give birth? There are so many forms of contraception available.
Bro, leftists in America have been vouching for full-term abortions. Its not a straw-man argument. For them, having abortions is a victory for feminism.
A US tourist in Malta was refused a life saving abortion. It is the 'hellscape' that's coming with the end of Roe v. Wade, Planned Parenthood said.
A US citizen was refused a life-saving abortion while on vacation in Malta. The case highlights the danger to women with Roe v Wade being reversed, say campaigners.
t.co
Any proof for this? Or have you, like everything else you post, just pulled this statement out of your arse?
