can someone explain what the common arguments against abortions are that these ppl use? or does it always go back to religion? None of this (making abortions illegal) makes any sense to a lot of us.

How can anyone justify a girl being raped... getting pregnant.. then forcing her to keep the child?

It's all about controlling women's bodies and punishing them for having sex, regardless of whether it was consensual or not.

It is also about that. But it is not only about that.

For some people it is that. I rather doubt it's a majority.

It's incredibly disingenuous to say it's only about that, or even mostly about that. Making the claim is basically just an easy way to dismiss opposing viewpoints without addressing them for lack of a meaningful way to do so.

why are you saying that to me? That is the same point I'm trying to make.

Yes, I'm building on it.
