I’m sure it isn’t. It’s absolutely inhuman and it’s not even sentient, so we gave it this cold, latin name to remind everyone that it’s not human, and that it’s okay to kill it. We did the same to the mentally handicapped in Germany in the 1930s. They weren’t sentient, and leeched off the nation liked a horrible, evil fetus leeches off its mother. Instead of calling those handicapped people people, we called them “Erbkranke”, to remind others that they weren’t human; that they gave their offspring the same diseases, they were different from us! Then we did the same with the jews, they were never human, they were a different race than us, and were more like rats than humans.

It takes a lunatic to believe that the answer to mental instability and suicidal thoughts is an abortion. If a woman wants to kill her own child, and feels compelled to take her own life because they can’t legally kill them, then that woman needs a psychiatrist, not an abortion.
Besides, despite the fact that there hasn’t been any scientific research on this topic, I would wager that the amount of women who would kill themselves if they could not get an abortion is incredibly low, and thus not reflective of the population as a whole.
