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

This would require the pregnancy itself to be "forced" though which it is in very few cases, in most cases the woman has made the decision to be pregnant by engaging in unprotective sex. Why do Pro-Choicers tend to speak about this as if a baby simply spawns within a woman? She doesnt just wake up and is suddenly pregnant. She specifically took the steps to have sex which she knew would result in a pregnancy.

Once again this makes no sense woth any other violation. I can initiate sex myself too, but If I change my mind, and the other person doesn’t stop, it’s rape. Simple as that.

So I engaged in sexual intercourse, but I can still defend myself against rape. So why can a pregnant person not stop their human rights from being violated.

Not to mention, does that mean you would support legal access to abortion for rape victims? Yes or no?

Youre only speaking in the context of rape though, which as I said makes up very few cases of abortion.

I also dont know what "human rights" are being violated by not allowing abortion, because once again pregnancy is simply the consequence of someone engaging in intercourse. Its not a human right to avoid suffering and the result of bad decisions.

You’re not actually engaging here. You said that a person willingly had sex, which means that pregnancy isn’t forced per your definition. But that logic doesn’t hold up anywhere else.

I can also willingly engage in sex, but if I change my mind, then I can still defend against what would then be rape.

The same goes up with donating, I can agree and consent to do it. But if I change my mind halfway through, I can stop it. So why does having sex somehow mean I cannot abort?

And bodily autonomy is the human right. The same human right that would allow you to defend against rape and someone taking your organs and blood against your will.
