    Why, exactly, should abortion be regulated separate from any other medical procedure? I would guess the vast majority of answers are based in an ideology with patriarchal underpinnings, where the fate of women is the business of the male-dominated state.

    The vast majority of abortions in the 3rd trimester are medically necessary, often heartbreaking affairs. Roe was an antiquated compromise decision and should not be seen as a template for what is acceptable in a supposedly pluralistic society that honors the freedom of individuals to make their own decisions about their own bodies.
