Why are you here? Seriously. It is no great secret that this forum supports the pro-life affirmation that human beings have intrinsic worth- even pre born ones. That worth does not depend on another person. That their innocent lives should not be forfeit to the needs, wants, fears, choices of another. Even their own mother.
Further it is intellectually dishonest to support abortion and not realize all the arguments for it can be used to justify infanticide. And yes some women still kill their children even though it is clearly illegal. So why is that still banned?
To argue we must keep abortions legal because women will still seek abortions even when it is not, is not a valid one. (FYI it would be very unlikely to be illegal in all states even if Roe was overturned). Abortion is a great sin the slain cry out for justice from our Creator. Legalities be damned.
I mean why are you here in this thread arguing for abortion. Not on FR in general.
I already explained that I hate abortion.
I was simply trying to make the point that making it illegal, even if it’s not illegal everywhere, will not stop it.
I still strongly sense that few who oppose abortion genuinely care about these babies, especially if they’re born to young, impoverished, single, and minority women.
The contempt for these women runs deep among abortion opponents; it always has. Because they’re powerless and despised they become the target for all sorts of primal emotions that the abortion issue drags up.
I really wish I saw more compassion from abortion opponents but, to be honest, the usual response I see is a mixture of anger, mockery, and dismissal.
And you know what, most other people seem to see that, too.
