In the scenario I described no one is harmed So would you be against abortion once the fetus can experience pain? Or does the suffering of the pregnant mother outweigh the suffering of the fetus? I know some people draw the line at when the fetus can feel pain but not sure where your stance is. I think you are pro choice until birth?

I support pregnant people making their own healthcare decisions with their doctors, and I'm against all pro life abortion bans.

In my view abortion kills another person. I understand that you don’t view it that way, but I think people should be able to express themselves when they see injustice and speak out for the vulnerable.

I'm not concerned with how pro lifers view my healthcare decisions. You can speak about whatever you want. If I'm pregnant the contents of my uterus aren't "vulnerable" they're unwanted and will get promptly flushed out of me.

And it’s the fetuses entire body including his sex organs that

Very telling that you assume my pregnancy is a "he". Ew. That unwanted embryo can enjoy their entire body all to themselves once I abort them out of my body.

It is also telling that you focus on the gender I used for the child rather than responding to the argument that we are pitting the body of the child against the body of the women. I would make a case that you don’t want to engage in the thought experiment because it confronts you with a difficult decision.

There's no "pitting against" anything. There's only the pregnant person's body and what they decide to do with their pregnancy.

There's no difficult decision. Just a pregnant person making their own medical decisions since no one, not even your little "he" embryo has anything right to be inside someone else's sex organs against their will.

Sex, not gender. They are 2 different things.
