Babies lives are equally as important, they have different DNA, so it is not "my body my choice." You are killing another person based on their location. They are a person from conception, and Pro-Choice people believe that they become a person at birth, which makes no sense.
@B5BJ3T8Republican 5mos5MO
I agree with this because even though it is your body the human you have in your womb should also have a choice to want to have a life for itself therefore the kid should be born no questions should be asked.
@B5BJV63 5mos5MO
A fetus is not a person. Pro-choice allows women who have been raped or who just don't want the huge responsibility of a child with an opportunity out of their situation. There are so many women who have complications during pregnancy or who realize that their fetus may have life threatening conditions, it is the woman's choice to decide if she is ready to bear that responsibility. Many women are also not financially responsible enough to have a kid and our orphanages in the US are already unfortunately overflowing. I personally think that we should care more about a human who is already living than a person who may or may not be born. If a person is a person from conception, what does that make masturbation?
@B5BN7YZ5mos5MO
Do you really not know the difference between a sperm cell and a fertilized egg that has implanted in a mothers womb?
Maybe withhold further comment until you understand the basic dynamics of reproduction.
A fetus is already a living being within the human species. Therefore, it absolutely is a human being. You don’t get to kill a human being because it’s financially convenient for you.
@B5TGBQP3mos3MO
You raise a fair point. There are indeed clear biological differences between a sperm cell, an unfertilized egg, and a zygote that has implanted in the uterus. I understand the argument that a fertilized egg represents a new, unique human life with the potential to develop into a person.
However, I still don't find that alone to be a convincing justification for granting full personhood rights to a fetus. There is a spectrum of development, and I believe there is a meaningful distinction between an early stage fetus and a fully developed, viable infant. The woman's bodily autonomy and right to make decisions about her own body and future cannot be completely disregarded in my view. It's a complex issue without easy answers.
@B5BGRB65mos5MO
The fetus is not considered a child until a certain point in the pregnancy, before that it’s a clump of cells with no conscience or feelings
@B5BN7YZ5mos5MO
That is incorrect. You must revisit the definition of child.
We are all clumps of cells, and our moral value is not from our current scope of consciousness or feelings.
@B5BGTCF5mos5MO
Would you rather the baby grow up in: 1. hunger because the mother doesn't have the financial ability to care for it?
2. abused, some mothers cannot stand seeing the face of an unwanted child, be it from rape or an abusive past relationship?
Having too many children in the world puts children in orphanages or family homes, and those will eventually fill up and run out of funding. What will you do when we have children living in the street, having more children in poverty, because that is the environment they were raised in and don't know any better?
@B5BN7YZ5mos5MO
So your solution would be 3. to kill the child…
@B5BKGZW5mos5MO
Some people dont want this baby, yes its good for the world to reproduce, but these babies could be forced upon someone and not wanted, making this babies life even worse down the line, yall are thinking on the outside, there are a ton of more side effects to anti abortion.
@B5BN7YZ5mos5MO
Your argument is it’s better to kill the child rather than risk a difficult life?
@B5BLNN65mos5MO
A fetus is not the same as a baby, which is an idea backed by science. Additionally, many women need to abort their pregnancy both for the health of the mother and the child, and those cases are common and need to be addressed.
@B5BN7YZ5mos5MO
There is not one place in the United States the bands abortion when the mother’s life is in danger. But please explain where science a fetus is not the same as a baby. If you are going to use a development milestone as an argument, which stage of development will you use? And why would a fetus at 30 weeks be any different than a baby who is born prematurely as they are both in the same developmental stage.
@B5BGQY35mos5MO
From science definition a fetus is not a human being, it can't think before a certain time and it can't live outside of the womb so it can't provide food for itself and get the nutrients directly from the food swallowed by the mother, therefore it is described scientifically as a parasite, not in the bad sense of the terminology but under a scientific aspect. Thus the mother carries the pregnancy and you can't force a human being not to decide what to do with their body, whatever their reasoning is.
@B5BN7YZ5mos5MO
What you said is completely false. The scientific definition of a human has nothing to do with obtaining food. Biology underscores the obvious truth that a fetus is a separate life.
A parasitic relationship is defined as being harmful to the host, which is not true for an unborn child in a mother’s womb. However, describing the relationship as parasitic admits that you understand we are talking about two separate beings here.
Finally, you cannot force the pre-born child to die without establishing what the concern would be to the mother. There is always an exception for the life of the mother to allow for ending a pregnancy in dire circumstances, but even then it’s not really an abortion because if you can save the fetus you should.
@B5C64W75mos5MO
First and foremost, an unborn fetus is not a baby, it is a fetus, with no sense of consciousness or feeling, and valuing the lives of a theoretical child as more important than the actual lives of the women who got pregnant either on accident or against their own will is a horrible stance because it is harming real people.
@B5C3TDG5mos5MO
No man should tell a women what to do with her body there should be a limit on abortion including how weeks its legal after ten weeks I don't think anyone should abort. I do not agree a nine year child be force to carry and birth a baby while she is a baby herself.
It is not a “baby”, per se, rather a clump of cells. If it cannot sustain itself without a host, it is not viable for life. Worry about the living children dying to gun violence and the children in foster homes.
@B5TGBQP3mos3MO
That's an interesting perspective, but I disagree. A fetus is not the same as a born child - it does not have the same level of consciousness or ability to survive independently. The woman's bodily autonomy has to take precedence. Just because something has unique DNA doesn't automatically make it a person with equal rights. There are valid arguments on both sides, but I don't find the pro-life position convincing.
