My comments were a "broad brush" and not aimed at any one post. Abortion is an inherently emotional, religious, political discussion.
How current laws are being interpreted and enforced is certainly up for discussion. But the abortions taking place as a convenience and not because of a medical issue for the life of the mother are going to bring emotional responses from those who are pro-life. We don't think baby's lives should be ended because those babies are inconvenient. We think their lives matter, and that prevention of unwanted pregnancies should be the goal by people on any side of this issue.
This Coronavirus has everyone on edge. My 31 year old daughter had a call from her doctor telling her she is high risk, and she should not be working at her delivery job. My daughter can't afford to not work. I know many here on these forums have medical issues, family with medical issues, and huge concerns about the issue.
I pretty much avoid political and religious conversations here and online elsewhere. I've seen these forums as a great place to learn and not be confronted with these topics because I don't go to the private area here where these discussions take place. I was voicing my opinion, and my observation that those who give voice to right-leaning pro-life views are given short shift on many forums. And knowing those topics aren't discussed here is one reason I like these forums.
When people with Mod abilities seem to be given a different set of guidelines, it's frustrating.
