Ridiculous comparison. Hard-on pills are NOWHERE near being the same issue. She's just trying to make a "point".
I have always found it curious that the real determining factor for if the fetus is a human or simply tissue, is if the Mother WANTS the fetus or not. If a pregnant woman is murdered, the perp is usually charged with two murders, but if it's terminated with the Mother's permission, then it's just tissue removal and not killing.
After I actually saw ultra sounds of my own kids, I couldn't imagine thinking they were anything but babies. Show the women about to suck out that "tissue" an ultra sound and see how they feel about it. Not going to happen of course.
I've had tissue removed. I didn't need counseling after. A fetus is not just "tissue".
I realize there are financial implications to low-income pregnant women and they feel they wouldn't give the baby a good life. Killing doesn't sound like a great solution to some one not having a "good life". There ARE other options, of course, but it's just easier, quicker, and better for the mom and certain political interests to just go ahead and suck it out of there.
(BTW - I'm NOT a very religious person. It's not a religious issue at all for me.)
