People who oppose abortion, why?

[CateM]

Why do you believe in stripping women of their bodily autonomy?

For a child to have separate rights from the mother, they should actually be separate from the mother

[Summeroflove]

Because. I don’t agree with stripping someone of a human life. She chose to have sex.


A man shouldn’t run away and not pay child support. A woman shouldn’t end the life of the child. Because she don’t want it.


A child doesn’t deserve to die. Rare cases for medical exceptions. That’s all I support. Even if you wanted to make other ones. Still.


As well as abortion up until birth. That’s obviously wrong even a lot of pro abortion people don’t agree with that.


Incest. Number one. That’s disgusting to people who would consent to that. Again they made the disgusting choice to do that.


Rape. Rape I have empathy for that one. But. Two wrongs don’t make a right. That baby did nothing wrong and shouldn’t die.


But even if you made exceptions to those things you could say. Sex IS a choice. No protection is a choice

[misogynistic_pig]

Making abortion illegal brings many benefits, such as reducing female promiscuity and raising the birth rate.

In addition, the woman should not have any kind of bodily autonomy, if she does not want to get pregnant, sterilized or not fornicate.

"... you have killed my children..."
Ezekiel 16:21

[CateM]

Dream on, bub. You're so delusional you think banning abortion will decrease female promiscuity like it's a bad thing. No, it won't. Besides, the world is already overpopulated

[misogynistic_pig]

Switzerland, legal abortion: 26% of promiscuous women.

Malta, illegal abortion in all cases: 2% of promiscuous women.

[Aerissa_Jade]

It is because they think it is murdering a human, so no point in trying to convince someone that murdering is okay.

It's really bad when I say plan B should be over the counter and as cheap as a bottle of Tylenol then no abortion hardly be needed and people call that abortion.

[NamerOfStars]

Why do you believe in stripping children of their lives? Under no other circumstance do you have a right to kill someone simply because their presence is making your life more difficult or inconvenient; why do you think you do here?

Have you really not thought through what would happen if declaring a right based simply on tradition or greater strength would lead to?

[mattdzz]

By your logic, a child is still financially dependent on the mother; so, why can't they be killed until they're financially independent? Doesn't this infringe on a woman's Autonomy?

From a moral standpoint I think abortion is just wrong- it's killing a human life, and should be a last resort to either protect the mother's life, or address some serious birth defect.

From a political standpoint I'm all for it. I believe abortions should be readily available, even encourage for lower class and black communities. These are a drain on our society as a whole, and should be limited in their growth.

A woman has a choice on who they have sex with- this is her autonomy.

[CateM]

And how is the black community a drain on our society? The only actual difference between a black person and someone of a different race is the color of their skin

[mattdzz]

No, it's not. There are persistent IQ differences that affect educational attainment, economic success, and pro-social behavior (vs criminality). Otherwise, why would they be able to tell where our ancestors were based on our DNA? Why did Europe develop Rome and long-range rockets, when Sub-Saharan Africa developed nothing?
Blacks in the US have on average 1/4 European DNA, and even at this, their IQ isn't even close.

[CateM]

So what? Just because a person is black doesn't mean they're a drain on our society

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Ok, I'll inject myself into this conversation (I hope @CateM doesn't mind since I'm not prolife). Just because you view someone as genetically inferior, for whatever reason it may be, the solution isn't to just kill everyone. Certain groups, jewish people for example, tend to be smarter due to having been under higher selection pressure.
If you think all black people are stupid (which is wholly untrue), encourage black women to date smarter men and have smarter families instead of mass murdering from birth. There's better solutions to this "issue".

[letuswaltzforthedead]

Mass murdering them from birth, I mean.

[PainusNdeeAnus]

If a child had to be killed in order for you to have sex would you still do it?

abortion is trying to have your cake and eat it too at the cost of someone who didn’t have a choice

I don’t understand why people won’t accept the consequences of heterosexual sex

[007kingifrit]

first off don't call it bodily autonomy that's childish, you are losing a bit of free time for 9 months you're not a slave. like i'm not against abortion but cool your drama jets

second, abortion should be limited in cases where the girl is totally fine and has a stable income or people supporting her, because 1. the baby is alive too and 2. those are my future soldiers, workers, and taxpayers. it is stealing from me to abort without reason even if i'm not the father.

[MCheetah]

I'm pro-choice, but man you are doing NOTHING but opening a whole can of idiot worms with this controversial question. (And by that, I mean the people who want to outlaw ANYONE from getting an abortion, not those personally against it.)

[SpokenTruth]

Because it's taking something that can never be given back it's taking someone else's life from them. That is called murder no matter what label you want to put on it. It's highly offensive to God and those of us who love children.

[shortster]

Because life begins when the DNA from the sperm fuses with the DNA from the egg. Also when you choose to engage in an activity whose primary purpose is procreation; you've already made the choice to have a kid.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

They’re against murder. They are against the idea of citizens having too much power and not enough obligations for responsibility.

[joeldalton]

It's not body autonomy to kill someone whose body is not yours.

[888theGreat]

A baby is not a part of her body , it is an independent life with a soul

[888theGreat]

they are only hooked together with cord , other than that , two separate people

[BJP21]

Pure ignorance. Plain and simple.

[MrTaboo]

Because its not their body. DNA says so.
