You're completely entitled to your beliefs. If you support the decision regarding ending a pregnancy being between a pregnant person and their doctor, who would be performing the abortion, you are welcome.

What wouldn't be welcome is someone who would support, or advocate for, laws that take that decision away from a pregnant person and their doctor. Legislating the "extenuating circumstances" that you list is, at best, a very slippery slope. There are very, very few pregnancies that are terminated in the third trimester. If a pregnant person does need one of those, should they have to wait for their doctor to clear it with legal to proceed? If they are even willing to do such a procedure in the first place, for fear of legal or religious retribution? That is why people who support a right to choose don't necessarily accept these types of legislation.

Women in other states are being left with knowing that they cannot even get rid of embryos that, by all intents and purposes, would not survive and be spontaneously aborted in many cases. In which cases, in some states, they would be charged with crimes of the homicide variety, through no fault of their own. That's what this march is about.

I have never met a woman, whether it's a mother, hope to be a mother, or hope to never be a mother, who advocates for these late term abortions like people complain we do. So if you want to support anyone who wants to be pregnant, come. Or anyone who hopes to never be pregnant. Or anyone who doesn't know if they want to be pregnant. If you want to proselytize about how you would like to draw lines, with no knowledge of the individual people who are going through very different situations, stay home.
