Luzius MeisserAbortion is often portrayed as a black or white question: either you allow it or not. But in fact, there are many shades of gray between conception andSee more birth. Georgia chose six weeks as the deadline, which I find rather short. From a religious point of view, the question is: at what point in time does the soul enter the embryo? Here, I think the best guess is three months. That’s the point in time until which nature/god often naturally cancels the pregnancy. Also, this seems to me like enough time under normal circumstances to take a decision. Abortions that happen after three months of pregnancy seem very questionable to me.
Jared Petersand when you grow a womb I support your right to do as you see fit with it.
