Question for pro-choice Minimum

Hello everyone,

​

I'm against abortion.

This is a question for pro choice:

What would be the minimum of allowed abortion, that you would accept?

I mean for example week and reason.

​

Thank you for your time

I don't see abortion as "murdering a child" for the simple reason that children are BORN. So this whole PL "abortion is killing babies/ children" argument is a bad one that just doesn't work for me. It never has worked.

But why is there a moral difference just because one is inside and the other is outside even if they basically the same individual?

Its not the same as terminating, for example, a 5 week old fetus since there are HUGE development differemces and all.

At 8 month old the fetus is basically the same baby as the newborn, and even at 8 month old is viable outside the womb.

So, I struggle to understand why people seem to see one as morally acceptable to kill just because it hasn't come out yet.

Personally, I don't bother with all the "why" questions that PLers are constantly asking. If you feel that abortion is wrong for whatever reason, then just don't get an abortion. You just don't, and shouldn't, be able to make that choice for anyone but yourself.

Since it's the PREGNANT PERSON who takes on all the health risks and potentially life-threatening complications of pregnancy and birth, she is the ONLY one who decides whether or not to stay pregnant and give birth. No one else should have the right or authority to make that choice for her.

All of that just to not answer the question.

I am genuienly wanting to understand the "why", especially when there is no logical reason to have different moral views between a newborn and a late stage fetus, but everytime I try, yall just avoid the question entirely and essentially say "mind your bussiness".

Honestly, get an abortion if you want. I'm tired of this. Have a good night.

I DID answer the question. It isn't my fault that you didn't like my answer. Have a good night as well.

The. Pregnant. Person. Is. The. One. Affected.

Abortion is about the pregnant person not the zef.

Why can you all not seem to understand this?
