denying that an unborn infant is a human life
"Unborn infant"...okay
No one is denying that women are choosing to abort human embryos or fetuses, or that those entities aren't alive.
Thinking that women don't know what they're doing when they get abortions is a right-wing myth, and the reason why they started forcing women into waiting periods, counseling and vaginal ultrasound probes. Like women don't know that they're ending the life of a potential infant. Most women seeking abortions are already mothers. They know what they're doing.

Unlike Animals here on Earth , Humans are Unique , they have SOULS
Okay. Is that soul created when human have sweaty, nasty, dirty sex? If so, what makes us different from animals? Why would you think that animals don't make souls by having sex?
If souls aren't created through some sexy biological sequences, how are they created? Are they created at all? Is there some soul storage warehouse where souls are waiting for fertilized human eggs for them to enter?
Are souls immortal spiritual beings that aren't born and that don't die? Are aborted embryos/fetuses imbued with a soul? Does a soul decide when to enter a body, or is it assigned a body by a higher authority? Is an aborted embryo's soul being punished for something it did in a past life, or did it choose its fate?
I have so many soulful questions!
But there have always been a few women die of abortions each year…10 in 2010 alone. So there is that undiscussed part as well.
In 2010, the US maternal mortality ratio was 12.7 (deaths per 100,000 live births). This was 3 times as high as the Healthy People 2010 goal, a national target set by the US government.
The U.S. maternal mortality rate has significantly increased from 7.2 deaths per 100,000 live births in 1987 to 16.7 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2016
The problem is particularly acute in the South. For instance, Mississippi’s maternal mortality rate, one of the highest in the country, has been climbing for more than a decade. From 2010 to 2012, the last measure, an average of nearly 40 women died for every 100,000 births.
So a decision in 2022 affected the 2010-2012 and 2016 maternal death rates?
