Bro, I think it's best you not even bring up abortions that are done due to the womans life being in danger. Its not genuine, because it's so very rare, most abortions are not done over it. It's not a legit argument. Murder is murder. If the womans life is legit in danger its self defense to abort the kid. If she was just too lazy or too stupid to take the pill or use a condom? It's not the same.Like I said: either it's a life or it's not. If it IS a life, No, momma can't snuff it. What have I said that is controversial here?
but having their life and/or health in danger is the wording of the proposed law in question that this threads about. Also i bring it up because even if it is rare (i have no idea about the actual statistics or if it is or isnt) its still a legitimate reason to have the option available so are pregnancys that are the result of a forced marriage, rape etc...
U keep trying to come up with hypothetical scenarios where u believe ur exposing an imperfection in a rule that pro chioce people think is perfect. but like any rule or law its not going to be perfect and will always be flawed. That doesnt mean we dont need them. Sometimes all there are, are shitty options, and we have to choose the least shitty out of the shit.
There are 2 sides pro and anti, but even within each side everyone has differing opinions and lines they draw. Different reasons as to when and why its acceptable or not.
Anyone on either side can come up with any number of hypothetical scenerios to punch holes in the oppositions views.
U think its ok if the mothers life is in danger. What if the mothers life is only in danger due to expected complications from the mothers excessive alcohol intake during her pregnancy? Its her own fault thru her selfish choices like in ur "whore" scenerios. Should she be allowed to get an abortion.
What about rape victims?
Before 24 weeks or after?
What if they're raped and dont know they're pregnat until past the deadline or cant get to a doctor?
What if the victim is a minor?
What if its after 24 weeks but shes 15 and the rapist is a family member and in a position of power over her and she couldnt get away sooner?
What if she cant prove shes been raped?
Should she have too?
There are no good or easy answers. Just the least shitty of the shit. And even though abortion might be a shitty solution it has to be an option available to those women who need it.
Lastly i already explained what was controversial. Ur analogy that compared 2 things as equals that were actually miles apart.
