When the fetus is nonviable, there is NO “protect prenatal life” interest implicated. When that interest doesn’t apply, forcing women to carry a pregnancy to term is cruel and unusual punishment, an arbitrary and capricious invasion of bodily autonomy, and may reflect animus towards women.
I've twice had "routine" D&Cs (aka, abortions) for embryos that were no longer viable. Testing revealed the 2nd embryo had a trisomy like Kate Cox's case. I cannot fathom how horrified and despairing I would have been if forced to carry on with a failed pregnancy. www.nytimes.com/2023/12/11/u...
