Why isn't ok for a group of people to vote that in their communities, abortion is illegal, and anyone who doesn't like it is free to leave?
Why must there be a uniform position on something so divisive?
Hey, this is serious. Healthcare and abortion freedom is under attack from the GOP and my main criticism of this MAGA/religious fueled movement.
It shouldn’t matter which state you live in. Abortion and healthcare access should be universal. This isn’t a game.

Decisions like this shouldn’t be up for a vote, just like free speech shouldn’t be up for a vote. Bodily autonomy and personal healthcare decisions should not be dictated by the state.
And what of the bodily autonomy of the child in the whom? Does it not deserve some protection, healthcare and rights?
This is the endless loop we've been in for decades now, to me the only reasonable solution is free market where some places allow and others don't, and see what free choices people make?
At the very least, if it puts the mothers life at risk, that is a different situation in my mind
Free market solutions are great… but without valid (and accessible) choices for individuals, there is no free market. As such, a “free market where some places allow and others don’t” really is borderline NOT a free market.
While it’s one thing to say “states should have the right” to legislate … the size of jurisdiction (and one’s ability to immigrate and emigrate and feel represented) REALLY does matter.
If freedom to choose actually matters (as people on all sides of this issue say that it does, for different reasons) maybe divisive issues like this should really be legislated at the municipal level.
Agreed. 🤷♂️ let folks have differing opinions, it’s part of what makes American American
