2. Breath of life.

Life does not begin at fertilization. Plenty of fertilized eggs do not implant into the uterine lining. These men are not doctors. They're not obstetricians. If all fertilized eggs =- life, then why does it take five or six in vitro in the hopes that one might implant? Their own bible goes on at length about the breath of life. Until that doctor smacks the baby on the ass, it doesn't breath.

My mother delivered, after 38 hours of labor, a child who did not breath. Yet she carried to term.

Whether I grow life in my uterus or not is no one's business but my own. I had a near fatal heart attack at 24. These idiots would sentence me to death in the event I conceived. And they'd decide for me. And get between me and my cardiologist and my OB/gyn.

Old white men making laws they will never apply to themselves, projecting what they would do if they could get pregnant and terminate a pregnancy.

Roe allows the religious right to carry to term, while respecting my own autonomy. No one is forcing anyone to abort. Yet they'd force me to risk my life in the hopes I'd deliver a white male fetus.

Roe ended the practice of women dying from back alley and unclean abortions. The RIght seeks more dead women.
