I fail to get why being against abortion makes one sexist

But aren't people just restricting themselves from the services then if they have to live in a rural area where it's not available then? If you want to have sex and have the abortion option, just move then? For example, I use certain services, but I know I couldn't have them if I chose to live in a rural area, away from it all.

Plus is not having abortion the issue, or the issue is not having it immediately available in all these rural spots?

If you really want to, I guess? But you still can't get prenatal care, an abortion consultation, or a termination, without the results of a blood test. The blood test measures how far along you are based on your hormone levels. You can't just request a termination with a home urine test, because you might be farther along than you realise. Maybe you are past the legal cutoff point for the procedure. Maybe you aren't pregnant at all.

I had a home test come up positive when I was still a virgin, but had some ... intimate contact ... with my boyfriend. I was a few weeks late, and started to panic. I didn't want to talk to my parents. My doctor was on holiday. So I bought a test, assuming it would be fine. I got a giant PLUS sign meaning positive. It didn't make sense but of course I believed it. I went weeks agonising and waiting and trying to get support information without my parents overhearing. I was totally terrified and very confused how it happened. By the time I got to the Planned Parenthood clinic I was almost hysterical. But they did a blood test, and sent me home. Three days later they told me I wasn't pregnant at all and it was likely a faulty home test.

When I actually was pregnant with my daughter I was planning the pregnancy and tracking everything on a calendar. I kept taking the home tests which kept saying negative. Then I started bleeding. I tried again the next month and did a blood test which said I was pregnant from the month prior. Already over 2 months. I bled through most of my pregnancy and she was born premature. If I hadn't had the blood test, and just used the home tests, there's a chance I would have received negative test results because of my bleeding.

Home tests have good dramatic value but they aren't considered valid until double checked by blood work.

You might want to read about how restrictive some US states are. It's not like Canada, if it was still a hot button issue for the left in Canada I'd agree with you because I believe it's pretty secure here.

There's also countries with even tighter restrictions than the US, including a few places in South America where they've forced mentally handicapped children who had been raped by their guardians to carry to term because the court rulings came up after it was either too unsafe to terminate or illegal under any circumstances.

It's an issue that varies throughout parts of the world. Not everywhere is Canada.

People who support individual freedoms Vs people who want control over others

I also fail to see the reason as well. There are female babies who are aborted in some cultures just because they're girls. I find that more sexist than anything. People in those cultures see nothing wrong with aborting God's Little Women.

But this is how it always is when you live in rural areas, that the further away from civilization you move, the less access you have to things, and that's just always been the nature of it. If they were to build all these abortion clinics all over the place, wouldn't that raise taxes a lot and would most people want that?

Also, I am not saying move and get a new job to get an abortion, I am just saying take a trip to get one, not move permenantly.

But I thought the problem was, is that there is not enough supply and demand for abortions for there to be all these clinics in all these rural areas.

The clinics would have to be performing abortions everyday, to have enough supply and demand to have clinics out there. It's not like McDonalds where you have a much higher supply and demand business, is it?

It's more to do with the philosophical platform someone embraces, yes.
Atheists would tend to let the woman decide, in most situations.
Theists have a tendency to want to impose 'god's will' on others.

And very conveniently gods will also just happens to be their will too. What a surprise.
