Actually, that's not even true. It was rule that she has a right to privacy, which doesn't make sense at all, as if abortions aren't happening right out in the open and many people publicly talk about it.
Constitutional rights
The right to privacy often means the right to personal autonomy, or the right to choose whether or not to engage in certain acts or have certain experiences.
Several amendments to the U.S. Constitution have been used in varying degrees of success in determining a right to personal autonomy:
The First Amendment protects the privacy of beliefs
The Third Amendment protects the privacy of the home against the use of it for housing soldiers
The Fourth Amendment protects privacy against unreasonable searches
The Fifth Amendment protects against self-incrimination, which in turn protects the privacy of personal information
The Ninth Amendment says that the "enumeration in the Constitution of certain rights shall not be construed to deny or disparage other rights retained by the people." This has been interpreted as justification for broadly reading the Bill of Rights to protect privacy in ways not specifically provided in the first eight amendments.
The right to privacy is most often cited in the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, which states:
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
However, the protections have been narrowly defined and usually only pertain to family, marriage, motherhood, procreation and child rearing.
1.)By the mother scheduling an induction.
2.)I disagree that it doesn't matter.
3.)You also are OK with infringing on the woman's rights once the 24 week period is reached (20/21 weeks in your personal POV).
4.) Why are you OK on that account but all of the sudden it is way worse to add a little bit more time on it?
5.)In the case of there being serious medical complications I support abortion, so that isn't an issue.
6.) As far as dying, that's a very small % and people living their lives every day do more dangerous things than being pregnant, like driving. Currently there is a 0.0185% chance of death at 800 deaths a year and there was probably something more involved there, like not having proper screening/care or the person had other medical issues. More people die even from falling down stairs.
7.) So you're still making a comparison if a very low probability vs a 100% guaranteed death.
You either do not understand what Constitutional right to privacy really is or you are pretending not to understand it.

2.) you can disagree but thats not how rights and law work. They disagree with you. I dont get to temporary trespass, or steal, or rape or assault etc etc
WHat would you have me do, ALWAYS violate the woman's rights and NEVER respect them and ALWAYS choose the baby making the woman a lesser as soon as she conceives? no thanks . . id never support that as i said. Viable already born person vs a ZEF, baby, unborn that could abort itself as fast as it conceived .. yeah thats a no sell for me. Its completely illogical.
Right. Like the reality of a baby surviving at 21 weeks.

1.)That's exactly how rights and laws work in our system. You get enough people on your side and you get to make the laws that define rights.
2.)You're already violating her rights. You just chose and support that violation to be arbitrarily set at viability.
3.) So somehow it's way worse to have that same violation exist for 24 weeks longer than what you already support.
4.) That doesn't make a lot of sense to me.
Yet we cannot do recreational drugs or have assisted suicide or, or...
Oregon became the first state to legalize assisted suicide for terminally ill, mentally competent adults in 1994, followed by Washington and Vermont. The Montana Supreme Court has ruled that physicians may prescribe lethal drugs to the competent terminally ill.Oct 5, 2015

Assisted suicide is legal here in Canada and our Prime Minister is going to legalize marijuana. BTW, it's not actually illegal to use the drugs here, though possession *is* against the law.
I'm just giving other examples that fall under the same criteria. There are plenty of others that would also qualify that the government prohibits as well.
In two cases from 1997, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that physician-assisted suicide is not a protected liberty interest under the Constitution. However, the rulings in Vacco v. Quill and Washington v. Glucksberg left the door open for states to permit physician-assisted suicide.

As I stated those examples may fall under States rights so take it up with the individual states.
The US Supreme Court left assisted suicide up to the states.
Supreme Court Rulings - Physician Assisted Suicide - Right to Die
So the court decided to make it states' rights in one case but not on others, even though they would fall under the same criteria. That makes sense and doesn't seem arbitrary at all.

What does the govt prohibit that if not done the person may have a myriad of side effects, some that may last for the rest of the person's life, great discomfort and pain and possibly even death?
Due process is protected under the 14th amendment , since assisted suicide is not a protected liberty the Supreme Court left it up to the states.
Neither is abortion, under that same criteria.
