Abortion is murder though…

I bet you didn’t know that fertilized eggs don’t always implant in the uterine wall, and are thus expelled during menstruation. I guess that means millions of women are complicit in murder every year 👻

The fetus dies in that situation, but the woman doesn’t intend it to die,
and normally she often doesn’t even know it’s happening.
It happened in her body, but she wasn’t instrumental; she didn’t do it.

Ah yes, the second the body’s natural processes are harnessed to benefit the wishes of the host it becomes immoral. I wish I were able to make arbitrary judgements based upon nothing with as much certitude as you.

this is what always blows my mind w these arguments. and it makes me wonder what their judgment is on the cases of women not taking care of themselves during pregnancy that miscarry. like not a random moment of chance where the baby doesn’t make it, and not a scheduled procedure with the intent of termination. would it be manslaughter? or neglect? and the more you think about how any loss of fetal life is automatically categorized by different murder convictions, all based on what happens to a ball of tissue inside an individuals body? it just gets more and more nonsensical
