Comment on Is the right to abortion a "negative right" or a "positive right"?

They have rights, the rights just don’t matter because a doctor decides so?
“Trumps professional medical opinions”
What do you think medical opinions are determining? Medically indicated abortions are relatively rare (and almost always permitted under restrictive laws), what other determinations do you think medical professionals are making?
What you are actually trying to do is categorise a persons desire for abortion as the same as medically necessary abortions to launder the credibility that the latter has. You try to get away with this based on the fact that one can find doctors that will do anything, even intentionally kill healthy adults. Reality check, here. Doctors like anyone else can engage in immoral behaviour, the mere fact that they do it does not make it moral.
I absolutely love that you couch all of this with “trust me I care, I’m a social worker”. You can care passionately about something and advocate for great harm.
I think you primarily feel misunderstood because you’re profoundly stupid.
