Rejected petition Don't ban abortions.
All I would like the government to do is make society a more equal place for women, to start doing this, keeping abortions legal and within a woman's right is a great step in the right direction. Abortions are needed in a lot of unfortunate situations. You cannot take it away. Keep abortions legal.
More details
Women already already treated far worse than men are in society and taking away abortion rights is just a nail in the coffin. Women deserve to have a choice over their own body and other people shouldn't have a say in the matter. There are many scenarios where having an abortion is a reasonable option. E.g. if a women is raped then she can't be expected to keep the baby.
We shouldn't be prioritising unwanted, unborn children over women that could have their lives destroyed by having children.
