    Once again, facts don't give a single fuck about your feelings, rofl.
    Never said it was the majority.

    Of course pro choice is the majority.

    Abortion is what's easy. Choosing life and raising your child is hard. Most humans are selfish and self centered so yeah obviously it's going to be more popular. Particularly with young people

    You have clearly never known a woman who's had to have an abortion if you think it's an easy decision, habibi.

    The pro-life movement is 100% a selfish movement. It isn't about the life of the child, it is about those in the movement feeling good about themself.

    Does anyone think this guy even sees the irony between attacking me for "black-and-white thinking" after engaging in specific criticisms of every point Hawkins made against the Violinist Argument, and moments later painting all abortion-seekers with the completely manufactured, condescending, malicious broad brush he uses here?

    It's not all black and white. She's not Hitler. But "not as evil as Hitler" doesn't mean she's a good, honest person, either. She's actively denying the capacity to revoke consent and denying basic bodily autonomy to women all in pursuit of a religious extremist viewpoint that those she's targeting does not share. That is "evil", even if it's "not as evil as Hitler".
    Listen man a woman can fuck up her body any way she sees fit. She can get tattoos, do drugs, drink, have sex with thousands of people.

    But pregnancy isn't just her body. Now we have another body that's just as human as she is. But you fail to recognize this since to you it's "just a clump of cells"

    Abortion is not about freedom it's about convenience and avoiding accountability

    Because it's the truth.

    Most abortions are from selfish convenience, not rape. It's sickening

    Really? Rip that little sucker outta there and send it on its way then. I'm sure it'll find gainful employment and housing.

    To point:

    Abortion is not an easy decision, and I don't know a single woman who's had the procedure who did so because they simply didn't want to 'deal with' a kid.

    The same people trying to criminalize abortion are also making it impossible to afford to raise children. I know you claim that you're not that cruel, but hardly anyone else in your camp sees an issue with forcing women to carry medically nonviable pregnancies (which can lead to greater health complications to the mother, if not outright kill her in the case of septic fetuses) or simply making it more difficult to actually raise kids for people who -do- want them. It's a poverty bomb waiting to happen.

    Also blaming 'the youngs' for being lazy is such a tired boomer/GenX argument I wanted to just sail passed it but JFC my dude. What are you, fifty?

    Again, most abortions are for convinence.

    And rape I agree is a valid exception.

    Should I cart out the organ transplant bodily autonomy argument again or do we not want another six page derail?

    That you think those "fuck up her body" and are bad is, again, literally religious extremism.

    But pregnancy isn't just her body. Now we have another body that's just as human as she is. But you fail to recognize this since to you it's "just a clump of cells"
    I've repeatedly and openly stated I'm perfectly willing to argue on the basis that the fetus is a human being*, because none of that matters in the least in the question being asked, about abortion rights.

    Bodily autonomy trumps right to life in every case. Literally every single one. To enough of a degree we won't breach the bodily autonomy of a dead person to save a life. You're the one who has to convince all of us that there's a reason to change that principle. And you haven't even tried.

    *it isn't, definitively. Allowing for the sake of argument is not an admission of anything.

    Abortion is not about freedom it's about convenience and avoiding accountability
    That's a slanderous and malicious lie. It really is just hatred of women, for you, isn't it?

    Choosing to have an abortion because you cannot care for a potential child and do not want to subject it to the foster care system is not "selfish convenience".

    And again; exactly what is your process for ensuring rape victims can access abortion in a timely fashion?

    It doesn't trump in the case of pregnancy since pregnancy is a very very special relationship between mother and child that unfortunately modern women have been brainwashed to reject

    So which of these is true;

    A> You think a child of rape can just be straight-up killed by anyone, anywhere, at any point in their lives, and that's perfectly okay and not a crime, or
    B> You're lying when you think a fetus is a human person from birth.

    One of those two things must be true if you agree that there should be exceptions for rape. I'll let you pick.

    I.e. one that cannot be quantified scientifically or explained rationally and therefore doesn't bear mentioning in this discussion because it's basically religious in nature.

    Sure, Jan.
