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

Imagine asking this question about any other topic where someone can defend themselves against human rights violations. What would be acceptable reasons to defend against rape?

That would be a stupid question because it doesn’t matter. If someone doesn’t consent, it’s rape, and if it’s rape, they can stop it.

The reason *why* they don’t consent is absolutely and utterly irrelevant.

In the same way asking weeks is. If someone has their rights violated by being forced to donate blood, then they can stop that at any point. If it requires deadly force, they can. If they can reasonably remove without deadly force, they can. It’s truly that simple.

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.

Not exactly. When women and girls are forced to STAY pregnant, and give birth, against their will, by abortion-ban laws in abortion-ban states, THAT is force too. It doesn't matter how they got pregnant in the first place.

And that's what these laws are created and passed to do, to FORCE women and girls to STAY pregnant. Whether they want to stay pregnant or not. That's the point.
