I’ve brought this argument up and been smacked back with “what about a pregnancy that could kill the mother”? Or “what about a baby you know will be permanently disabled”?
Don’t have the best response to those yet, just call it a tricky issue.
For a pregnancy that would kill the mother (ectopic/tubal pregnancy) you don’t need an abortion. An abortion is the intentional killing of another human life. A procedure done to save the life of the mother, which inadvertently causes the baby to die because it was not viable and would have died anyway if the mother died, is not the same thing as having an abortion. For the sake of time I won’t get into all the different examples of things that can go wrong during pregnancy that would cause emergency action to be taken but suffice it to say there is no situation where a baby has to intentionally be murdered to save a mother.
Pregnant women who are in a life and death situation go to doctors and ers where a life saving procedure might be done that unfortunately can’t save the baby as well. Pregnant women don’t go to abortion clinics when they are in a life and death situation. That’s a lie the pro choicer tries to use just like the rape and incest examples they always bludgeon us with, which in fact, make up a very tiny percentage of abortion cases. You can bring their lies to light by asking them if concessions were made for rape and incest and the life of the mother, would they be against the rest of abortions and they always answer “well, no, I’d still support abortion b/c I support a woman’s right to choose”. That’s what’s known as a “logical fallacy” in debate and these fallacy’s are some of their favorite ones to use.
They don’t really care about the life of the mother or rape and incest cases. But they think it will garner sympathy for their cause if they prop those up as their examples for abortion being legal, when in reality those cases make up the smallest percentage of reasons why people have abortions. 🤷🏼♀️
I have a question (and probably an ignorant one too). if someone is raped, wouldn't the first thing they do is take birth control pills? Or do those only work before sex?
Thank you for this. Definitely going to use your line of questioning at the end in the futuee
If you like to listen to informational type talks while doing other things, check out Stephanie Gray Connors on YouTube. She’s an amazing pro life advocate who has been giving talks on abortion and debating philosophers and abortion doctors for years. She’s AH-MAZING!
I would check out the talk she gave at google first maybe, and then the interview she did with Matt Fradd but honestly, you can’t go wrong with listening to anything she does. Some of the debates on YouTube though are harder to hear, the sound quality isn’t the greatest. She’s also started to get into the Euthanasia debate and those talks were really powerful and motivating as well.
An abortion performed at a hospital in a medical emergency is different. And extremely rare. “Bans” on abortion almost universally carve out an exception for medical emergencies. These are also exceedingly rare.
99% of abortions are done at abortion clinics and are a choice. That is reality.
I'm pretty sure all states' abortion laws include exemptions for rape/incest, medically necessary situations (ie, ectopic pregnancies).
As for the "disabled" part, how screwed would we be if Stephen Hawkings's parents had said, "Oh no! ALS? Yeah, might as well just hit the delete key now. Save everyone the hassle that's just going to end up in pain and misery."
And if you just want to off a child or you were hoping for a kid with green eyes, there's still like 16 states you can choose from to find a nice hospital with a credentialed physician to help you slake your thirst for innocent life all the way up to the 3rd trimester.
I will guarantee with 100% certainty that every child conceived in rape or incest is grateful they were not aborted.
