I’m tired of calling argument “pro-life.” It’s pro choice and anti choice.

Because abortion involves killing a child that was already conceived, at which point it becomes wrong. You can make a choice to not raise a child, that also doesn’t give you the right to kill the child once you’ve created it before or after birth.

Ok and your solution to helping women in China is taking away women’s rights in America? Maybe if you eschewed the bad faith arguments and talked about solutions instead of how you FEEL, we could get somewhere. But removing the choice from women puts you on the same morality level as the people killing baby girls.

Also Sex selective abortion absolutely happens in America as well, to a lesser degree but it absolutely still happens. And the first step to solving that is making it illegal to kill unborn children in the womb at all

That’s not a solution. That’s putting desperate people into desperate situations because of how you feel. You won’t stop abortions by making it illegal. You’re simply making people risk their health for a child they can’t provide for.

You don’t have to conceive a child if you don’t want to. We don’t stop violent crime completely by making it illegal but it’s good that it is. Also pro lifers literally have tons of free services to help struggling parents, feel free to volunteer at a CPC if you want to help.

It is definitely terrible and it’s not sometimes, it happens very very often. Like every day kind of often. I’m on the fence about it because im an SA survivor and people who live through this didn’t choose to get pregnant and the fetus didn’t choose to be conceived but also harming it because of someone else’s evilness also isn’t cool in my opinion. It’s a push and pull for me

okay first off no one’s okay with people killing their child AFTER birth. But also, even pretending that a fetus is a living child that can be killed, no living thing has the right to use another living things body without their consent. If the mother does not consent to being pregnant, she has the right to abort the fetus. Women are people not incubators.

Anonymous replying to -> #6 15h

Yeah I agree. And just like it’s wrong to kill a child after birth because you don’t want to raise it, it’s wrong to kill a child before birth if you don’t want to raise it. I’m not sure what exactly you think a fetus is but it’s objectively a living human being, and a human being in an early stage of development is a child. All living things have a right to not be killed. You cannot kill a breastfeeding infant, for example, just because it’s dependent on your body to live.

Anonymous replying to -> #5 14h

A breastfeeding infant is not dependent on one person to survive. It can be fed by anyone who is lactating or by formula in a bottle. Perhaps fetus was the wrong word to use, most abortions happen when it is still an embryo, which is a clump of cells. Sure, it has the potential to become a baby, but so do individual sperm and egg cells. No one considers those to be killed babies though.

And again, it does not have the right to use the mother’s body against her will. The adult (hopefully 😭) and alive woman gets to choose whether she wants to be pregnant or not.

So is it being dependent on one person or being dependent on someone else’s body? Formula was not a thing throughout most of human history and many places today still don’t have access to it. People in the US don’t have access to it. If you could breastfeed your baby but decide not to and it starves, is that not neglect?

You get to choose whether you want to be pregnant or not. You get to choose whether you want to be a parent or not. You don’t get to kill your living human child after it was conceived because you don’t want to be a parent anymore. And an embryo is a living human organism. All humans are clumps of cells. That’s what being a living organism entails usually

if you give up children for adoption you are legally no longer a parent of that child. that's also not the same as not having a legal obligation to care for your offspring. up until that child is put up for adoption that parent is absolutely legally required to parent them; regardless of long term intentions

What’s unclear? You said people have to parent those children not matter how short term, I’m telling you that no parenting has to be involved other than carrying it and labor and to me that’s not even being a parent. There literally is no obligation other than nourishing the baby and making sure it’s not physically injured and tbh a lot of people don’t even care to do that and the baby has to suffer for it. It didn’t ask to be here just as it didn’t ask to die either
