just because the law says a woman CAN have an abortion, that is not a claim on anyone that THEY must provide it for her. She can go to anyone who agrees to provide it, but no one can be required to be that provider. And, the government cannot command anyone to be an abortion provider, against their will, just because of Roe-V-Wade. Just because it is “legal” does not make it mandatory for anyone not wishing to be part of it.

The unborn person is forced to be a part of it - the part who is murdered.

“The unborn person is forced to be a part of it - the part who is murdered.”

I am not arguing against that moral point.

But, until Roe-V-Wade is overturned, conservatives, whether social conservatives or Libertarians, should be united, as Conservatives, on what should be understood as the true LEGAL limits of Roe-V-Wade - abortion is “legal” but just being “legal” does not mean that anyone who does not want to participate in providing it can be required to be part of providing it.

Roe-V-Wade only means its “legal” which only means that yes, if you can find someone willing to help you perform it, it is not “illegal”. That’s it. And that is not a mandate, Constitutional or otherwise, that any individual or organization MUST be part of providing it, against their own conscience.
