Can somebody explain to me what the argument for being pro-life is?

As a conservative I think being pro life is complete nonsense. I've seen so many women's lives get destroyed because of unplanned pregnancies.
Imo anti-abortion and anti-Planned Parenthood is what is holding the Republican Party back.

There's a few different arguments but the biggest reason for people being pro-life is religious morality that committing an abortion is somehow against god or something. It usually has to do with this idea that pregnancy and sex are holy. It's why a lot of Christians think that condoms and birth control are also sacrilegious.

I think it's the fetus they find to have instrinwic worth as a potential human.

@Suckerfug: I usually think it's particularly stupid when a Christian person says that a fetus is a living creature because the bible itself, in Genesis, says specifically that a baby is not actually alive until it takes its first breath of air in the world.

@BlueMetalChick: no it speeks of adam a created man in those verses

@Mountainlady16: Regardless, I find it hard to take the bible's advice on the morality of infants considering that God told the Hebrews to round up all the babies in Jericho, take them to the seashore, and "dash their heads against the rocks." Because abortion is murder, but actual murder is totally fine, right?
