And the states should work things out with the cities.
I believe the smaller the entity responsible and able to do a function, the better.

I'm talking about a fetus that is painfully ripped from the only environment it knows.
Personally, I would support very early abortion (i.e. morning after pill).
After a heartbeat and/or brain waves, the rules change.
As I indicated before, the female has the right to say no.
That is the control she has on her body. When with child, she shares that body with that child.

Trump tried and was fought and stymied by the left.
In contrast, Biden actually invited them.

There are several policies on these issues (both good and bad) that are worthy of their own thread.
I'm just trying to make the point that Republicans/conservatives are generally compassionate when taking their position.
Liberals usually focus on having the government help the victim cope with their plight while conservatives focus on reducing the number of victims--hence would-be victims don't have a plight to cope with.
An indication as to the benefits of one philosophy over the other is the migration from blue dominant states is usually to red states.
