Perhaps there are bona-fides for performing an abortion but then doesn't that contemplate the matter of discussion, pyhiscal exams, alternate strategies to make a final determination. Isn't this what many people/states are recommending ? Taking it further doesn't such a horrible experience lend itself to thinking about prevention? Isn't this what intelligent thinking people do? Isn't madness sometimes defined as doing the same thing and expecting a different result? Isn't it madness then to suggest that woman have the right to an absolute right to an abortion time and time again?
I opine you decide.

The Florida bill on abortion now under consideration by the FL Senate after passage by the FL House looks like it has a number of holes with respect to the actual extent of scientific knowledge. It is based more on current politics fueled by religious ideas than by common sense or scientific facts.
Florida House Passes Abortion Bill Requiring Doctors To Describe Fetal Pain To Pregnant Women
"...there is also research to suggest that despite the presence of such a physical structure within the fetus, it still lacks the capacity to recognize pain. In a 2005 review of the evidence, the American Medical Association concluded that: pain is an emotional and psychological response that requires conscious recognition of a stimulus. Consequently, the capacity for conscious perception of pain can only arise after the thalamocortical pathways begin to function, which may occur in the third trimester around 29-30 weeks gestational age."
