Something I think anti-abortionists (including myself) need to understand is that when you (rightfully) call out the fact that abortion is murder---or at the very least wrong, you're gonna get push back.

You're asking these women to confront a reality that's gonna force them to rethink every aspect of their life and how they see themselves as person.

Imagine if all your life you were told this thing was fine/okay to do, and that it's empowering for you to do it, only for you to find out you were actually committing evil in the process.

I doubt many people would be willing to face that reality because no one really wants to think of themselves as an evil person (lest they be a legit psychopath). Most people don't like confronting uncomfortable truths about things regardless of how necessary it might be because it's human nature to want to run from things that don't feel good to know.

Imagine if you found out that you were actually committing murder this whole time? Would you be so easily willing to accept that truth? Of course a bunch of these women are going to show major resistance because they don't want to believe what they're doing is horrible because by extension, it would mean they're a horrible person and they would have to wrestle with their self worth and regret because that's what it would translate to for them. No one wants to deal with that.

I'm not saying this erases it, nor do I believe all women who've had abortions are genuinely evil. But really take the time to look from their perspective here. Is it really any wonder that there's so much resistance/division on this topic?

I personally consider abortion to be anti-feminist due to the fact it allows men to not be held responsible for their irresponsible actions of sleeping with a woman they have no intention of loving or providing for. It allows men to treat women like commodities with no consequence.

People who say that abortion is needed because of the fact that rape victims exist, I feel are missing a MAJOR point in their arguments. And before you start blowing off on me, at least be willing to hear my perspective here.

I don't think it's a problem of abortion being easily accessible. I think it's a problem of rapists not having consequences.

1 in 3 women globally are sexually assaulted. Thus, the concept of a woman/girl becoming pregnant against her will unfortunately doesn't sound out of the norm at all. And regardless of the statistical reasons that women TRULY get abortions for, let's think about another aspect here.

If rape is such a common thing (which it is unfortunately) and women keep aborting the children they’re getting as a result of being raped, doesn’t that mean we should put MUCH more pressure to condemn and stop the rape endemic—which is why these specific sets of victims would hypothetically be getting abortions in the FIRST place? We’re only treating the SYMPTOMS here and not looking at the actual CANCER that keeps spreading.

If you guys put as much pressure on our justice systems as much as you push for abortion, it would probably gain more a productive response in the long run. Because I think we can all agree that we just want forced pregnancy to be stopped as much as possible.

Abortion is a rapist’s dream because then there’s a chance that if they do get you pregnant, that you’d be supported (if not pressured) to then erase the evidence of what he did to you.

If we're really gonna be saying that the circumstances a child is born into should dictate whether or not it should continue to develop, then I'm very sure a large percentage of us would not even be here today if that logic were to actually be implemented. If you look back in your family history enough, someone must've either gotten raped or put into a hard situation.

We need to crack on these corrupt justice systems that don't punish rapists accordingly, not have the children pay for the sins of the father.

I definitely don't like the way how conservatism handles abortion in some cases (because I feel besides making hospitals, there's still not much that's being improved), but I most certainly do not agree with the notion that the circumstances in which a child is made should dictate it's right to live. If that were true, I wouldn't be alive to make this post.

If rape is something you are so concerned about (as am I), then why aren't we banging on the doors of these justice systems instead of the doors of these clinics?

I'm pretty sure that if women are doing something as a result of a bigger problem, shouldn't we address the BIGGER problem then?

I’ve been thinking about making this post for a while, and I finally decided to make it.

At a certain point in my life as a pro-choicer, I discovered something: In order to be intellectually honest in my pro-choice thinking, I had to be willing to look around at all of the people I knew—my family, my friends—and be willing to say, “It would be okay if you had never been born.” And I had to be willing to say the same about myself, too.

And I actually was willing to say this. While my mother was pregnant with me, my father tried to pressure her into an abortion, and you know what I thought when I found out? I thought, “She should have gone through with it.” I was a burden; I made everyone’s lives difficult; I wasn’t worth loving or sacrificing for; I didn’t matter. I had so completely internalized this message about myself that finding out that I had almost been killed in my mother’s womb was no big deal. I mean, hey, it would have saved us all a lot of suffering. The cost-benefit analysis seemed perfectly clear: I just wasn’t worth it.

I wasn’t quite so obviously callous in my estimation of other people’s worth, but, had they asked me if I believed that they mattered in any real way—mattered in some way which did not include some reference to my thoughts or feelings about them—I would have had to say no. I would have had to say, “I am overjoyed that you were born because you have contributed so much to my life, and you make me so happy, and I think you’re wonderful, and look at all of the people who love you, but, ultimately, if you had not been born, it would have been okay. At the end of the day, there is nothing necessary about your existence. You are replaceable.” Those were the consequences of my worldview—the worldview which says that each and every child conceived in his mother’s womb is theoretically disposable; the worldview which can talk about “what you have to offer” and how “useful” you are, but can say nothing about the worth of the “useless.”

And I think our society has done a pretty decent job at living out that vision: the Vision of Replaceability. We don’t just treat the unborn this way. We treat the born this way, too. We give up on our spouses when our marriages stop being “useful” contributions to our lives. We give up on our families when the going gets too tough. We give up on our romantic partners when “the spark is gone.” We give up on our friends when we’re not getting what we “need” from them. We’re a culture of quitters. We love when it’s convenient for us. And people are often inconvenient; they demand our time and attention and care; they’re not perfectly suited to our desires the way objects are. So, we objectify them. We pay attention when it suits us and then tuck them away on a shelf somewhere where we keep the rest of our “toys.”

Is it any wonder that we don’t think that we matter? We’ve never seen it. Is it any wonder that many of us cannot even conceive of true selflessness? That the notion that someone might actually want good things for you and might actually not expect anything in return and might actually not just be doing it because “it feels good to do good things” seems so foreign and strange? Should we be surprised? It’s all we know.

And this is the root of the culture of death. This is where death starts. It doesn’t start in war zones or brothels or abusive homes or abortion clinics or execution chambers. Those are its manifestations, but that’s not where death starts. Death starts with people as things. It starts with “you are only as necessary as you are useful.” It starts with “you are not precious; you are replaceable.”

So, we leave ourselves with no resources when we are truly confronted with death. We have nothing real to offer to the suicidal, the eating disordered, the self-injuring, the depressed, the lonely, the abused. Nothing but empty words. We may say, “You are irreplaceable,” but do we mean it? Do we know what it would mean to truly mean those words? I don’t think we do. Not as long as we see each other as “choices,” as “options” in a sea of options. Not as long as we cannot honestly look one another in the eye and say, “It would not have been okay if you had never been born. You belong alive, and you matter, not because of what you do, but because you are you.” 

And for those of us who call ourselves pro-life, that has to mean something. It has to mean that we see people as people; that we treat them like people; that we love them. Maybe the reason that the pro-choice movement so often accuses us of “only caring about fetuses” isn’t all unwarranted hyperbole; maybe they’re responding to the very real lack of true, genuine, selfless love in our society, and maybe we’re all in that battle together. How on earth are any of us supposed to know that that’s possible—that we could matter in that way—unless someone shows us? That’s where the culture of life starts: the moment when we discover that we’re loved.

In Judaism , life begins at first breath not conception, so abortion is kosher. Thoughts on that?

I don't know all the specifics about what Jewish law says about life and abortion, although I know of several Jewish people who are against abortion from conception but it doesn't matter what Jewish law says about the beginning of life. They don't get to decide.

We know when life begins. It's not subjective. Every religion doesn't get to pick their own point when life starts and kill people who fall outside of that line. They can say they don't see life as valuable until a certain point, but they can't decide where it starts.

Science has shown us when life starts and any religion that says it starts at any point other than conception is objectively incorrect and should not be given any consideration when legislating the issue.

i get that you're a middle schooler from a religious background, but I highly recommend for you to research and educate yourself on the topic of abortion from other perspectives, because as someone who personally went through an extremely traumatizing (non consensual) experience which resulted in me needing to get one. I understand how you think that fetuses are living beings deserving of life, but you have no need to try and demonize me for doing something I already feel terrible about. I respect how you can have an opinion different than mine, but the information/messaging you are spreading around is incredibly harmful to a lot of people. I strongly urge you to educate yourself enough to let women make their own choices with their own bodies, and stop sharing harmful things online. You can have any opinion you like, but at the end of the day the post button is optional. With all due respect, save the tree not the apple.

Why not save both? I know it's the easiest option to just kill it, but human life is worth more than that. You don't have to raise it, just don't kill it. Also, getting that abortion didn't fix your trauma, it just added another one.

I did look at the other side, even agreed with some things, but in the end, killing is not the solution.

Also, it's not what they do with their bodies. It's what they do with their bodies AND someone else's. I understand that bodily autonomy is important, but the right to life ( the right to not be killed ) outweights it. You can't do something with your body if it hurts someone else.

My mother, 14 weeks pregnant : *cries because she just decided she doesn't want the baby anymore and can't just kill it like she did with the other one*

my honest reaction :

(I was the baby)

(btw that was a sudden decision, I was planned)

Like seriously, have you ever seen a video of a second trimester abortion, or a picure of an aborted baby?

THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ME!! Thank God they made it illegal in my country!

I was supposed to have an older brother too, but my parents didn't want him. They were married, finacially stable, and happy. My brother was a healthy baby boy, just not born yet. The only thing that was "wrong" with him is that HE WASN'T WANTED!!

I just know I would have been so much happier if they kept him. Being an only child sucks!!

Abortion is murder. The question is if it's worth it or not. It's healthcare only when the mother's life is at risk, which is pretty rare.

I will gladly debate anyone who thinks i'm wrong.

(also,english is not my native language, so don't bully me)

Isn't it ironic that dead people have more rights than a living (developing) human being?

I would recommend this pro-life documentary!

To start off, I really appreciate you not being aggressive or trying to find a fault in my words. However, getting an abortion doesn’t really help a woman heal mentally at all. Nearly half of all women who get an abortion regret it later, and a lot of them become seriously depressed. I get how carrying the baby and giving birth to them can cause a lot of stress and pain, but so can an abortion. It’s not very uncommon for a woman to start hemorrhaging from the abortion pill, and don’t even get me started on the other option for an abortion. It’s so sad and horrible for a woman who was raped, though, because it’s a lose-lose situation for her. But, her loss doesn’t have to be severe; there are many places that offer help to women who are thinking about aborting her baby. They can offer mental and physical help, most of them give baby diapers and other needs out for free. Just because you were put in a horrible situation doesn’t mean there’s no one to help you. If you seek help, help will come, and you will be okay again.

I have a question. We obviously share very different beliefs which I acknowledge and respect, but what is your opinion on abortion if the person was raped? Especially if they were raped underage. I as well believe that creating life is beautiful but that just seems downright murderous and disgusting. I would like to know your stance on it. Or, perhaps, if the parent would die during birth what would your opinion be?

that is a good question, and I myself used to think about it a lot and I didn’t really know my own opinion on it. However, my religion teacher showed me her opinion and why that’s her opinion and that really helped me and I hope (and think) it could help you too. She said something like this:

What is this? (And to which we answered a baby in the womb) Let’s say this baby was planned and the parents are very happy about it

Now what is this? (to which we again answered a baby in the womb) Let’s say this baby was conceived by rape. They look the same, don’t they. It’s because they are the same.

and as for if the parent would be likely to die, you never know what could happen. It’s still possible the parent could end up alive and well, and it’s also possible the parent could die from the abortion. No matter if you choose death or life, you could still die. There’s always still a chance you could die no matter what you choose. You could risk it to kill another living being, or you could risk it giving another living being a chance at a full, long life. I believe that you should always choose life, but though I strongly disagree with the people who don’t, I can see part of where you’re coming from.

that would make murdering a baby less horrific than fulfilling your pregnancy. it might just be that ive always been told and believe myself that abortion is horrible, but i believe that abortion is much more horrific than creating life.

y’all know, most people don’t even know what goes down during an abortion. it’s horror movie level graphic, and it’s to a baby, an itty-bitty child who’s DNA will never be replicated.

why in the world does everyone think that just because I support my beliefs online I automatically think that this is the only way people should ever live and if otherwise your the worst person on the face of the earth??? I’m sorry if I came off as malicious, all that I’ve been trying to say is that if you want a baby, go make one and give birth to it. If you don’t want a baby then don’t risk the chance of making one. People cause their own problems and then kill them because they don’t like it, and I think that’s horrific. (Also, what did I say so terribly that you think I should kill myself??? And that someone who wants babies to live is stupid or gonna go attack someone bc they aborted a baby??? Like chill out lol bro)

again i ask, what makes a baby in the womb so different from a born baby that justifies it being legal to kill it?

The fact that the fetus in the uterus needs the body of a whole ass different person to off of may give you a hint.

No one has a right to your body.

if you kill a baby inside a pregnant woman just because there’s a small chance that it could be painful, the population would decrease substantially. And, no, you shouldn’t be forced to give organs and blood regularly, because you shouldn’t be having sex and taking a chance at having a baby regularly if you don’t want the baby itself. If you wanna go get pregnant then you should face the consequences and have your baby.

The fact that the fetus in the uterus needs the body of a whole ass different person to off of may give you a hint.

and that’s so horrible that you can KILL that BABY? Because self control was lost, it’s ok to go shed a human being like it’s a piece of trash? After about 5 weeks it’s heart is beating just like yours and mine. That baby could have been the the president of the United States one day, but because you don’t like it being in you until it can exist outside the womb, you kill it. just for existing. that’s sadistic.

I may be pro-choice, but this is really well said!

To All My Fellow Pro-Lifers:

Pro-life doesn’t apply only to unborn children. It applies to the children of today, the children without access to school or food, the children who get hurt or die from preventable causes or crimes.

When we’re pro-life, we fight to protect all children.

Proud to be a Texan woman, you say? Proud that you have to bleed to death in a perfectly modern parking lot in 2025? Proud that your vibrator/dildo collection could land you a felony and prison time. Die in agony from a man's sperm, but be punished severly for an ounce of pleasure because you are a woman. It's very obvious men here legally hate you, and you think that's a badge of honor. Must be somethin' in the water?

If you're raped in the states where it isn't an exception for an abortion, you can either attempt to convict your rapist OR get an abortion elsewhere and go on with your life. Rape is basically legal there. Ive been stalked and harassed by men in those states. Only places I've thought about needing my gun or pepper spray. I feel a lot safer even in Los Angeles at night. I have yet to be bothered in blue areas. Leads me to think the red states are breeding grounds, literally, for rapists.

Has anyone else seen the prostitutes out in broad daylight in Memphis, TN? I thought they were poorly dressed high school girls until I saw them soliciting the other drivers and rolled past their pimps. Got to be kidding me. Apparently, the mayor doesn't give a f*ck.

Usually I like to explore a town, but not this one😅. I thought the lot lizards in Birmingham AL were bad. You know, if you southerners are going to ban abortion, then put a leash on your men. Pimping is rape. Yall arent holier than thou, are yah?
