Simple Question: How important of an issue is abortion for you?

Simple Question: How important of an issue is abortion for you?
Abortion is a contentious issue. Both sides are overly stubborn, and unwilling to bend. The one side wants to use abortion like Birth Control. The other side refuses to take into consideration, the Life of the Mother and the issue of Rape. I will let the sides continue to fight it out, and I'll sit on the sidelines. I do not let abortion dictate how I vote. There are too many important topics that are being overlooked because of this contentious issue.
I'm only alive today because my mother strongly believed that abortion was immoral. She was 16 when she was pregnant with me and both her father and my biological father were pressuring her into having an abortion. Having been so terribly close to being killed before ever making it out of the womb has pretty much made me adamantly pro-Life.
Most Pro-Life people I know of aren't against cases that endanger the life of the mother.
It is basically an argument of when does a person gain rights. For Pro-Life people it is at conception and for the Pro-Choice side it is a different stages for different people, some at viability others up until the moment of birth. Pro-Life see abortion as murder and Pro-Choice see it as the government intruding on a woman's body so both sides are typically going to be rather obstinate in their views.
Food for thought: the sorts of societies that don't think women have the right to control their bodies are the same sorts of societies that sometimes don't think girls have a right to defy their family.
Just something to ponder.
Yet the latest bill that went before the House and Senate, had no provision for the health of the mother. So you may not be stubborn, but somebody is...
You mean like how prostitution and drugs are illegal in the US? You seem to be under the illusion that the US government doesn't already have control over their bodies.
So your solution is to make the problem even worse and increase the odds that people like your mother won't get any choice in the future (no society ever gets rid of abortion no matter what its laws say, it just becomes easier for powerful people to decide when and how)...? Gee, how clever.

Do you have a link to that? All the search results keep coming up with the Texas Bill stuff.
