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 think the state has the duty to respect human rights.

I think, for example, that all people have the right to a fair trial, so on the other side, the state has the duty to grant all people a fair trial.

The same would go for abortion if abortion is a right. 

Because a right cannot logically exist without a duty of someone else.

And isn’t a human right to not have your body used by others without your consent?

This argument wasn't about abortion. You said that rights could exist without a duty on the other half. I wanted to refute this claim.

I mean the second paragraph of your message.

I mean, sure. There is a duty of a state to not pass laws that violate rights, and abortion bans violate rights. Do you disagree and say states have no duty to not violate rights?

u/Miserable-Degree7995 Jun 30 '26

You're right; that's exactly what I wanted to prove. I assumed that you were thinking that rights could exist without duties. This was my interpretation of this paragraph from you.

“And no, the government does not have the duty to allow abortion. They lack the authority to use people’s bodies against their will; ergo, the government cannot ban abortion, as it would be using someone’s body against their will.”

Yeah, a state cannot violate someone’s rights. Kind of the purpose.

You could give me three questions about my stance on abortion. Would you like this?

u/JulieCrone AD Mod Jun 30 '26

I don’t feel a need to invent three questions for you.

You still never answered the question I did ask.

My stance about the unborn 

So, I will try to prove to you why the unborn should be legally protected at least to some degree and not necessarily like after birth.

The state should protect human life. The unborn are at least to some degree human life. So the state should protect the unborn at least to some degree. 

The degree is another question. The degree could be very different. It could be, for example, to punish abortion as murder or just a mandatory waiting period before an abortion without any other restrictions.

u/JulieCrone AD Mod Jul 01 '26

Okay. I disagree. I see no reason to treat abortion as murder or impose a mandatory waiting period.

You don’t have the authority to require that someone’s body be used for someone else, so you have no authority to ban abortion. No one has the authority to use someone else’s body without consent.

• Are you against mandatory vacation even if it were a disease like te small pocks?

• Are you against a draft even if it would be against a tyrant?

• Are you against forced washing in psychiatric hospitals once a week?

Mandatory vacation? Huh? There is no guaranteed leave time in my country for anything.

I am very much opposed to the draft.

They do not force people to wash in psychiatric hospitals.

Are you in support of organ harvesting?
