Moral and legal are two different classifications.

I think it should be LEGAL to have an abortion no matter your reasoning. The reason for this is we need to preserve the bodily autonomy of people who can become pregnant.

Weather or not it is MORAL is another question.

It is LEGAL to protest outside of a veteran's funeral. However, I would argue it is not a MORAL thing to do.




There are plenty of ways we don't protect people's bodily autonomy though. For instance it was illegal for anyone to take Paxlovid until FDA approval.

If we can ban someone from taking a potentially life saving drug it doesn't seem crazy to ban someone from taking what half the population believes is a life ending drug.


We’re talking about morality in the context of this article, since abortions based on this testing are legal in the United States and most other developed countries.
