I guess I'm not fully sure why those 2 things are have to be tied together. If they had the lowest mortality rate, what would that then infer? I mean, it's not as if you would say the pro life is then good.

not sure if you are being serious or not but many Conservative leaning states have almost comically bad underfunding for childhood services, one of the best ways to drop abortion rates is better sex ed and preventive care funding for children.

I fully agree with that. Completely. Those things should be pushed for in those States.

But like that's my point. Even if these same legislators pushed for those things, while also pushing for abortion restrictions, people would still be against the restrictions.

I feel like topics like these aren't fully arguing the main idea and are trying to bring outside shit into the conversation.
I don't think tcs idea is "since mortality rate is so high, they should have abortions legal", because even if mortality rate was low, he'd still want abortions to be legal.

Argue what you believe in. *Shrug* it's whatever though

yes, many red states are behind in literally every metric. UN classifies LARGE swaths of our country as 3rd world. basically anywhere outside of blue states and city centers is a just like in Deliverance. i know first hand. im 20min outside of KC. go another 20min away and its a rusty, pothole ridden, deralect building, uneducated utopia with dirty water and hook work epidemics drowning in meth. that is a large chunk of our country. and honestly i dont think they deserve any help. they want their life to be that way.

They also have higher maternal mortality rates in general as well. Whether or not that is attributable to overall health or abortion regulations has yet to be proven, since poorer southerners are generally in worse health than northerners.

Pointing out that a state has poor education which is reflected by low IQs is not comparable to racists saying non-white have lower IQs, which I assume is what youre getting at.

There's a slight difference in the ways those groups bring up iqs. I think people should still be careful in how they bring it up as a statistic to use in an argument

Fetuses arent infants


Then why are they treated like infants in court?

We should have the right to abort, but pretending what's inside a pregnant lady isn't a baby is just disingenuous.

People's unwillingness to understand where pro life people are coming from (in most cases going out of their way to misrepresent their position) is just a shit tier thing to do. It's something Donald Trump supporters would do.

.

Like, I don't get why we change the words we use to describe the fetus/baby/zygot/whatever, depending on if the woman wants the pregnancy or not.
Let's not play phrasing games.

I don't minimize anymore than any other medical procedure. But it is necessary for both the good of society and of bodily autonomy. Corpses should not have more control over their bodies than pregnant women, or worse, pregnant rape victims or children .

They shouldnt be. Fetuses are objectively not infants. Infants are specifically after newborns so theyre a few weeks old-1 year old which turns to toddler when they can walk. Idiots trying to equate fetuses to infants are the ones intentionally misrepresenting their position and emotionally charging themselves.


So if a pregnant mother gets injured by someone and the baby dies, the murderer should go free with a slap on the wrist?

No one likes abortion, everyone would rather prevent unwanted pregnancies. The problem is the conservative and Republican policy of ignorance. Want to lower unwanted pregnancies and abortion rates? Stop standing in the way of access to birth control, sex education and healthcare. Abstinence is not and will never be an effective policy.

Youre making disgusting emotionally charged posts with no substance. Having the right to an abortion is about bodily autonomy. Someone else is violating bodily autonomy whether they force birth or terminating a pregnancy against a persons wishes. This isnt hard to understand.
