Here I leave aside the tendentious way in which advocates of abortion, contraception, and sterilization—where these are not medically indicated—describe these interventions as part of “reproductive health care,” although they are antireproductive, seldom have anything to do with the health of either mother or child, and in the case of abortion involve by definition not care but killing one of the patients.
42.I say “supposed” because it is not clear how the legal right to have an abortion, for example, in itself gives anyone a legal right to demand its provision, let alone legally obliging anyone else to carry it out or pay for it.
