abortion is wrong and should be illegal
You've got your causality backwards. Banning abortion doesn't stop it, it just stops *safe* abortion. Countries with strict laws still have high abortion rates—women find ways, often deadly ones. Poland tightened restrictions and maternal deaths spiked. Meanwhile, places with legal access plus real sex ed and contraceptive funding? Abortion rates drop hardest there because fewer unplanned pregnancies happen in the first place. If you actually care about reducing abortion, the data screams the opposite of what you're arguing. You're choosing a moral stance that makes the problem worse, not better. What's your answer to that contradiction?
I think the the risk of women who are going to do illegally have an abortion make it justifiable that you shouldnt ban abortion, the massacre of killing around 1.5m unborn babies a year needs to come to a stop, of course i agree with you that banning something isnt going to stop it or make it any safer
You're actually conceding the core argument—banning abortion doesn't work and kills women. That's the debate settled right there. But on the numbers: calling a fertilized egg or early embryo a "baby" is doing philosophical work, not describing biology. A zygote has no brain, no heartbeat, no capacity to suffer. You're equating that with a born child. Most people—including many who oppose abortion—don't agree those are morally equivalent. Here's the real tension in your position: you say banning doesn't stop abortion, but you want to ban it anyway. That means accepting dead women as the price of your moral statement. That's not protecting life, that's performing morality on women's bodies. Why is the philosophical status of a cell cluster worth women dying over?
I think that it isnt justifiable to say someones life is more valuable than anothers and to kill that fetus to solve the proble isnt the right choice, biologically speaking birth is started at conception, doesnt matter about the heartbeats which starts at around 6 weeks and brainwaves that start at 10 weeks, when a sperm and a egg get together and the egg is fertilized, your dna is made that is 1 of 1, the stuff that determines what your eye colors, skin color, and everything else is. I think its stupid to say that it doesnt matter just because its smaller, or not as important because its not born yet, its not potential life and it is the murder and robbing of the future and that future is the most valuable thing it has.
You're treating potential as equivalent to actual. A fertilized egg has unique DNA, sure—so does every cell in your body. That's not what makes something a person with rights that override another person's bodily autonomy. By your logic, a one-celled zygote matters more than the woman carrying it. She's forced to risk her body, health, career, life for nine months against her will. You're saying her actual, lived existence is less valuable than something that might become a person. That's exactly what you claimed you'd never do—rank one life as more valuable. Except you just did. The woman's life got ranked lower. How is forcing someone through pregnancy and childbirth not valuing her life less?
I said that everyone has equal value and isnt justifiable to for anyone to say one is more important than another, if thats how you interpreted it, thats not how i meant it, going back to the question where you said banning abortion doesnt stop it, thats an obvious answer, but will decrease chances of it happening. Women still die from abortion that are even legal, and a study shows that chances of a women commiting suicide who had a abortion is 150% more likely then a women who hasnt had a abortion. Many women who have abortions regret it, have trauma from it, or feel guilty for what theyve done. If were talking specifically about women who have sex and arent expecting to have a baby or get pregnant, which is around 98% of the time I think that the women should have the responsibility and have the knowledge before the having sex and be ready to have a baby if their going to be engaging in those actions. I think that its not fair for the women to have all the fun and have none of the responsibility. Just because a women didnt want to take on the responsibility (only talking about if someone is having sex without the responbilkty) i dont think its okay for her to solve her problems with the killing of the fetus, we can also talk about different scenarios like rape or other things
That suicide study is debunked—researchers found the effect disappears when you control for prior mental health. Women with depression abort more, not the other way around [1]. But here's your real problem: you're punishing sex. "She had fun, now she pays." That's the actual argument. Yet you don't say men should be forced into fatherhood for the same "irresponsibility." Only women get nine months of bodily invasion as punishment for consensual sex. If equal value means equal responsibility, why does she alone pay with her body? He walks away free. You can't claim equality while designing a system that only burdens women. That's the contradiction you keep dodging.
Your looking as if the baby is a problem or a punishment, the baby is a miracle from god and we should look at them with the same value as yourself. I disagree with what you said earlier with bodily autonomy, yes there attached and dependant on the mother and cant live without her, until around 21 weeks where a nicu baby can be made, tell me moraly what is the difference between a 21 week old baby in nicu compared to a 21 week old fetus in the womb, you would probably say and most people would agree its not okay to pull the plug on the baby, and if someone said it where to be true, it would be very sad and evil and not moraly okay, Along with the fact that just because its in the womens body doesnt mean that the baby is her. Its similar to saying that if all ages could vote, they wouldnt be allowed to vote for the baby just because the baby is in her
A NICU baby can be disconnected and survive. A 21-week fetus cannot—it dies without the mother's body. That's the moral difference. One is dependent on medical support, one is dependent on another person's organs. Your voting analogy fails because the fetus isn't a separate citizen—it's using her body. She has the right to refuse use of her body, period. We don't force people to donate organs or blood to keep others alive, even if those people die as a result. Why should pregnancy be different? You keep calling it a "miracle." She calls it a threat to her life and future. Whose miracle matters more—the theoretical one or her actual existence?
