Personally I don't understand why a general group of people, more often than not a group of
men, should get to decide what a woman does with their own body. I've gone through most of the pages here and most of the arguments I see against abortions take the moral stand-point. Saying that murdering babies is wrong, taking away someone's right to life is wrong, but by that logic shouldn't it also be considered wrong to condemn other people to painful situations, or possibly death because of a pregnancy?
The main thing that ticks me off about most of the Pro-Lifers with this argument is they mainly care about controlling a mass of people, rather than actually prioritizing people's life and quality of it as a whole. Most of these people don't even care what happens to the child after it's been born, so maybe we should take a look at some problems that occur after? Let's use an example I've personally seen more times than I can count, a woman gets pregnant, denied abortion, but were unready for the commitment of parent-hood. Their decision? Put the child into foster or adoption, do you know the horrors of the foster-care system? People die there or just get out-right abandoned, and more often than not quite a few children are put into abusive house-holds. Do we suddenly not care about that now? That's where another point lies, people only care about "saving the baby" as soon as a pregnancy is formed, they don't seem to give a shit about it after it's born, nor the situations it's life leads them, so most of these problems go unsolved as everyone is too focused on things they shouldn't be.
More on the point of people thinking it's murder, how is a coagulation of tissue that hasn't even formed a brain, much less any sense of consciousness / sentience considered a person? Are you saying that a unborn baby suddenly invalidates the rights of the person who carries it? Rights to bodily autonomy shouldn't be revoked because someone got pregnant, which let me add isn't always a choice as some people seem to keep saying here. So if getting pregnant is a choice, people should have the
choice to stop being so. And don't respond to this with "just don't get pregnant" because that, like said before isn't always a choice for the individual, because getting raped is still a thing. Furthering that stance, if someone gets raped are you seriously saying they have to go through with a pregnancy that could not only be devastating to someone's physical well being, but also their mental? Has literally anyone fighting against abortion thought of that instance? No? Well that's to be expected as it's mostly about controlling women, because people in politics can't seem to stand that women's choices are a thing.
Bottom line is, people shouldn't be trying to enforce this "one size fits all" scenario as everyone has different stances and experiences in life, that's what makes people different and because of these different experiences you can't properly restrict someone's rights like that, it just makes it absurd and any argument in favor of it only covers a small margin of people; not everyone has a choice in the matter and that fact should be remembered. Even if people aren't concerned with the right to abortion being revoked, they should at least use the overturning of the case as a wakeup call to realize, if these rights are on the road to being revoked, what else will be? Only time will tell but no one can say if it's for better or worse, and like
@The Catboy has stated quite a few times already, taking away the clean and safe environment for proper abortions will just lead to people choosing a very unsafe route for their abortions since every other way was taken, "dirty motels with dead bodies" seems to be quite a likely outcome in this scenario, not even taking into consideration the fact that people will most certainly take advantage of the prospect and use women looking for abortions as a means to further criminal activities, such as marketing "safe abortions" but then they just steal their kidney in a dirty motel and leave them for dead, overturning this case will most definitely lead to more deaths than saved lives.
Sorry for the rant, lol.
