Pregnancy is not an injury. It is not a disease. It is not a disability. It is not a medical emergency. It does not require medical treatment.
The treatment she proposes, disables a normal physiological process. Disabling of normal processes is not therapeutic. And it intentionally causes death: but death is not a treatment. Death is what ethical medicine is supposed to prevent.
And the State has no interest in causing infant death.
"The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government." - Thomas Jefferson
“[Pregnancy] does not require medical treatment.”
That may or may not be true, but most pregnant women nowadays get regular medical care and I don’t think anyone would encourage a pregnant woman NOT to see a doctor.
I’m opposed to abortion and I would urge this woman not to have one but the fact of the matter is that if she did not have an abortion she would still need regular checkups during her pregnancy.
I’m sure this woman will prevail in her suit and if she does not she’s almost certain to prevail in the violation of her civil rights suit that she will file later.
