No one is saying they’re “mindless incubators”, but “I want to fit in my jeans again” isn’t an “emergency” and doesn’t give them the right to take drugs to abort a baby that could survive out in the world at its age.

Just so we’re on the same page here - you feel that a woman should be able to abort a 39 week old baby?

I support abortion in all circumstances. The rights of the woman supersede that of the fetus, period.

And yes, when you infringe on a person's right to abortion, you are relegating them to the status of a mindless incubator rather than a person. I find that much more uncomfortable than aborting an unwanted fetus.
