Why should you carry a pregnancy and risk death of you do not want to? Isn’t having your freedom impeded considered a punishment in this country? |
There are lots of things we are not free to do in this country...doesn't mean we are being punished. |
Would death qualify as a punishment to you? Do you understand that the US has the highest maternal mortality rate of any developed nation? |
No. If I die from cancer, I am not being punished. |
If someone prevented you from removing cancer or whatever was causing you pain or suffering, isn’t that a punishment? My mother is a physician from a country where abortions were illegal. She watched a mother of 3 bleed out and die from a botched abortion and supported choice thereafter. Do we need to have that happen in the US? |
Our laws allow for abortions where the life of mother is in danger. |
Why should the woman wait until her life is in danger? Isn’t that too late? Who determines whether the woman’s life is in danger? What if the woman has pre-parting depression and is suicidal? What about the fact that pregnancy changes your body and your health forever? What is the woman is raped? Who determines whether a rape actually occrred? Or better yet, who determines whether a miscarriage occurs? Did you know that there are women who have been improsoned in America for a miscarriage? Abortion is a decision that should be between the woman and her doctor. Why do you want government bureaucrats to get involved? |
Yes, there are situations where the mother's well being should be considered. However, it is wrong for abortion to be used as a matter of convenience. |
| ^.... and back around to slut shaming. |
No. In other aspects of our society we tell others that they need to be responsible for their actions. Why is this any different? |
Why do you want to force people who find pregnancy inconvenient to have children? |
Why is having an abortion not taking responsibility for one’s actions? |
Because the baby's ONE chance at life is just as important as your convenience. |
|
Abortion is an act of violence. Why perpetrate violence on women? |
If you get rid of laws allowing abortion, a lot more mothers’ lives will be in danger. |
