Saying that abortion should be legal because of rape victims, is the same as saying murder should be legal because some people kill rapists and pedophiles. The extreme minority of cases doesn’t excuse the 99% of unjustness. Thoughts?

ok so abortion is only for rape victims, who's enforcing that? you have to press charges? do a kit when you're freshly traumatized just in case you end up pregnant? do you have to wait for the trial where most ACTUAL offenders aren't found guilty? Just let people have the abortion damn.

abortion should be legal regardless of whatever circumstances led to choosing the abortion. it’s a matter of women’s autonomy, not the circumstances behind the decision

Here’s a question: if abortion was legal only for rape and/or incest victims, would that be acceptable?

If we are to “Believe Women”, would this have to be policed? Like would someone lie and pretend they were raped just to get an abortion?

Yeah, probably. And tbh, I don’t fucking care if it keeps an unloved child from being forced into the world. I wouldn’t wanna grow up that way. The mother wouldn’t love it. Hell, neither would the rapist, probably. Bro would be paying child support from jail. Just let her get the damn abortion and help make the world a place where women don’t have to anymore

Killing rapists and pedophiles on the other hand I don’t hate that though

It’s not their body it’s another body relying on them for support

No abortion at all under any circumstances is okay or ethical

Pull up an ultra sound of a baby who was conceived intentionally and an ultra sound of a baby that was conceived in rape. There’s no difference between the two babies

pull up a picture of a leech attached for medical reasons and a leech that became attached during a swim. There's no difference between the two things depending on you for support so it would be unethical for you to detach them.
