Comment on "Pro-life" and "pro-choice" aren't actually opposite positions
FreshParsnip@lemmy.ca 2 days agoI was against abortion myself when I was younger. But even if you see it as murder, at some point you should realize the situation isn’t black and white and there are situations where abortion makes sense. A friend of my sister is having an abortion because the fetus has a rare condition where it’s intestines are growing on the outside and it won’t live long anyway if born. I would think most sensible people would at least be okay with abortion in situations like that. Why make a baby be born to suffer and die immediately?

The argument isn’t about rare foetal abnormalities. You’re using an edge case where abortion is justified to try and justify people using it as a sick form of contraception.
Everyone I know who is pro life does. As well as advocacy organisations.

Talk about a straw man arguments… Holy shit dude, >people are dying because of bullshit beliefs like yours. No one is using abortions as some kind of regular birth control you fucking nutter.
It’s a fucking medical procedure, people don’t choose to have medical procedures when there are much less dangerous and much much much cheaper options like condoms and the pill.
