What a collection of fucking horse shit. Every single point is so infuriatingly wrong.
*"Pro-lifers don't care about humans after they are born" - While this is obviously false, the proper response should be that it's irrelevant. The only group of humans who are currently legally killed while innocent are fetuses.
You people want to make it legal, if not a requirement, to let people die because they're pregnant and facing a medical emergency. Plus, nice work tacking the "while innocent" on there, thus neatly skirting the issue of whether you think the state should have the right to murder you or not. Also, how is it irrelevant? Being alive isn't the only thing you're supposed to care about - you do not care about quality of life, the right to make ones own choices, the ability to fulfill dreams or goals, nothing. Hell, you don't care about the millions of kids going to bed hungry in the US alone, once they're out, they're on their own.
You will hear arguments about false convictions... as if pro-lifers are OK with killing humans who are falsely convicted.
But you still don't have an issue with it, apparently. So the implication here is that you know that some innocent people will be executed, and you don't care.
*"Being pro-life should mean approving universal healthcare" - Again while healthcare, taxes and other financial policies can be a discussion, having an opinion on the economic policies does not imply what you think about actually killing a human while innocent.
Earlier you wrote that birth adds nothing to the life of a fetus except independence, which when contrasted with this means that you don't give a shit if the child is born into a life where a preventable sickness will kill it because the parents can't afford the care needed to treat it, as long as it gets born. Is it pro-life to be fine with the idea of kids dying from tooth infections, as long as you don't get taxed?
*"Pro-lifers simply want to subjugate women" - This comes from the perspective of thinking natural feminine features like pregnancy and motherhood as inferior to masculinity.
What kind of leap is this? Don't try to shift the focus. Do you think women should have the right to make their own medical decisions? No, you do not, therefore you do not think women should have the right to decide what happens to their life and their body. Plus, there are people on your side who want to ban oregnant people from travelling while pregnant. How is that not subjugation?
*"Pregnancy is a medical emergency" - Going back to considering natural femininity to be inferior, this argument often rears its head when discussing the exception a medical emergency. They say all pregnancy is a medical emergency in an effort to justify abortion.
Again, don't bring your bullshit about "natural femininity" into the discussion, it has nothing to do with that. A woman who is pregnant when she doesn't want to be is experiencing a medical emergency, yes.
*"Banning abortion increases unsafe abortions" - This isn't false (while I am not sure about the numbers, I give it the benefit of the doubt). But it doesn't mean anything. All banning of crime is bound to increase risk for those who want to do it.
Except that the risk they're concerned about here isn't the risk of getting caught, it's the risk of getting seriously hurt or dying. Haven't you spent a single second thinking about *why* people would still seek out unsafe, risky abortions if their access to safe abortions are removed? I'll give you a hint - it's not because they're thrill-seekers. And you clearly don't give a shit about the thought of desperate people dying if you just flippantly compare it to fucking sexual assault of minors. Is this the next thing you've got planned - calling abortion access grooming or something?
*"Banning abortions won't stop abortions" - Obviously. The law is in place to set a standard, and hold people accountable by that standard. All crimes that currently take place are not taking place because they are legal but because people refuse to adhere to the law.
So you don't care about how unethical a law is - it's there to be followed no matter the harm, is that it? Would you be singing the same tune if your medical access was restricted by law?
*"Don't force your religion on me" - This isn't always manipulative, as some pro-lifers make the mistake of using their religious beliefs as the reason they oppose abortion legally.
So yes, they use their religion as grounds why abortion should be illegal, and they should not get to do that as it is not my religion. There is no manipulation, and any religion which wants to take rights away from people is an enemy of the people.
*"The Bible approves abortion" - This is tied to the narrative that Christians are always behind opposing abortion for religious reasons. The effort here is to manipulate them into becoming pro-abortion because the bible is supposedly cool with it. I won't go into whether the claim is true or false, but it's interesting that most people who say this are against using the bible as the foundation of legal discussions.
There is no manipulation - they can't use their religion as an excuse to oppose abortion if their religion doesn't actually oppose abortions, simple as that. It's pointing out their own hypocrisy. Also, we don't use the Bible as a ground for legal discussion, we use it as a source of the opinion they want to form laws around.
*"Don't want an abortion? Don't have one!" - This is like saying "don't want rape? Don't commit it!" trying to sway people away from legally banning a violation of human rights. No, some acts should be legally banned and are beyond personal preference.
No,it's like saying "don't like blood transfusions? don't get one!". You do not get to have a say over what people do with their own bodies. Rape is a violation of someone else's body. They're not comparable.
*"Pro-lifers should be against gun ownership" - This argument usually comes after some mass shooting tragedy. It's an emotional manipulation used by politicians to justify confiscation of guns, which is not only unconstitutional, but clearly against the human right of self defense.
So basically, "who gives a shit about the number of innocent lives snuffed out in mass shootings, I have a right to my gun". Life is precious and important right up until you might have to do something to keep it safe. Hypocrite.
