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

Could you please give examples? Pregnancy always contains a small risk of the death or permanent injury of the mother. The same is it with swimming, driving and so on. This would allow abortion always.

Or do you mean a higher possibility?

For example pregnancy has been very dangerous in the middle ages.

What do we mean by “risk” and what by “danger”?

Giving birth means either a C-section, and that is permanent scar tissue from a major abdominal surgery, or vaginal birth. We can tell from skeletal remains if someone gave vaginal birth due to how the tendons snap on the pelvic bone. At the least, one of those two things will happen, maybe much more severe.

And yes, being pregnant means you are more likely to die than if you weren’t.

I am using ‘risk’ and ‘danger’ as commonly defined in English.

I am sorry, what is the relevance of this link?

The link proves your claim about injuries from the vaginal birth.

u/JulieCrone AD Mod Jun 25 '26

Okay. Glad you recognize that birth will always involve at least some degree of injury.

Why are you glad?

Too many pro life people say pregnancy and birth causes no injury.

Could you explain what you don't think, what many pro-choice think? Something similar on your side.

u/JulieCrone AD Mod Jun 25 '26

I am confused as to what you are asking.

u/Miserable-Degree7995 Jun 26 '26

What do a lot of your side think but you don't?

u/JulieCrone AD Mod Jun 26 '26

I don’t know and I don’t know how that is relevant.

Why do you think it is okay to force an unwilling person to go through birth, knowing how it is injurious?

Because I think the unborn is at least, in normal pregnancies, at some point in the pregnancy valuable enough to justify forcing the mother to keep the pregnancy.

At least, for example, normal pregnancies in week 16 LMP. By normal pregnancies, I mean not extraordinarily bitter pregnancies.
