As a note to those who don’t know: this varies by state, but generally speaking, you cannot become a licensed physician without having learned abortion care.
I just received a secondary application from University of Michigan Medical School. Looks like I know what school isn’t going to receive my application.
I think abortion will be treated much like slavery in the future. People will look back at past atrocities and ask “how did people think it was okay to kill babies that inconvenience them?”. It will be as bizarre if not moreso than owning a slave.
I agree with you, except it will be the opposite. “How did people think it was okay to force women into this with no choice? Even at the risk of their own lives in a country with a high maternal mortality rate.”
“How can they have freedom be one of their foundational guides, but think restrictions on what women do with their bodies is alright?”
How did people think it was okay to force 13 year olds to give birth to rape babies? How did people think it was okay to force a woman to give birth to the corpse of her already confirmed dead child or carry her dead child until it rotted inside her? How did people think it was okay to let women go to jail for having a miscarriage? How did people value a bundle of formless non-sentient cells more than rape victims or children or even just women in general who deserve autonomy and respect? How did people understand why it was wrong to force someone to donate their organs without consent, and yet still tried to force women to donate their wombs and in some cases their lives without their consent?
Oh yeah, because they were fucking idiots, like you.
No, what will actually happen is they will wonder how people could ever mistake a clump of cells as a baby and force women to carry a child they don’t want.
I like when people use the “clump of cells” argument like that doesn’t perfectly describe all life as we know it. You sir are just a clump of cells, can I take your life because you are an unwanted clump of cells?
Early foetal development stages are literal clumps of pluripotent cells. A lot like most medical test matter when it comes to testing mechanisms in human/eukaryotic organisms. What both lack, is Organisation and viability. If we were to follow your argument, we wouldn’t be allowed to use nearly all medication developed in the last 50 years or so. Also: whom would you try for the repeat murder of Henrietta Lacks?
That clump of cells would need “conciousness” or the ability to think for itself to be considered sentient, something you apparently lack as well.
There’s the ad hominem. Out of curiosity how do you determine if someone or something has a consciousness, how do you feel about people on life support that are clinically brain dead? How about people in a coma?

“how did people think it was okay to kill babies that inconvenience them?”.
Let me fix this for you.
“How did we create a society with so little support for mothers that some had abortions for financial or lack-of-support reasons?”
That’s the real tragedy. If a woman doesn’t want a baby, then she’s going to be a horrible mom and raise a horrible person. Those people can have abortions all day and night for all I care. But the women who might want one, but can’t afford it, but don’t feel safe in their own home, that’s society failing.
Hopefully in ghe future the need for abortions is close to zero becuase of better education, birth control and standard of living.
But today it is better to have abortions than put people into this world when nobody is going to take care of them the way they need.
I think they will look back at this time and think “how sad that they did not have the tools and care needed to avoid abortions”.
That’s completely fair and very possible, but I do disagree morally that it’s better to have an abortion than to bring a baby into the world that isn’t wanted. Want should not dictate the viability of life nor the concept of basic human right to life. Most times the right thing isn’t easy or even what we want, but that should not get in the way of doing what IS right. Should there be better foster care systems and increased funding for both systems and families willing to foster/adopt? Absolutely. But the failure of our government to put spending where it should to assist with fostering/adoption and, as you mentioned, in education and standard of living, does not change the morality of the ending of a baby’s life through abortion.
