For men who are pro life: what would you say to being told that you don't have a right over your own body? Because that's what you're telling women.

At the end of the day the issue is SO simple:

Whether or not you consider a fetus a person, it has o right to a woman's body.
If it's not a sentient being, much less a person then of course no argument will be made.
But even if you DO consider it a person then it has only the rights of any other person and NO person has a right to make use of another person's body against their will.

This is a bit of a go nowhere argument.

What many people don't seem to understand is that the rate of unwanted pregnancies goes down when abortions are allowed.

Areas that allow abortions also have sexual health education.

The argument over who gets to "control" the fetus is an unending one.

Focus instead on what's best for the community.

With that said, I'd be glad to argue with anyone who is opposed to education.

I think if a child is not wanted 100% , that child will not grow up being feeling loved and being encouraged on a daily basis... what will an unloved child be like in 15 years? There are exceptions, but my heart breaks when I hear all the sad stories and the number of people feeling uncared for, unloved, and hateful towards parents. I was unplanned but not unwanted. That’s very different.@JoeyFoxx
