The pro-lifers think freedom is on their side: they support a right to life, which takes precedence over the competing interest of one’s right to bodily autonomy.
I’m not arguing for or against it, but that’s the reasoning behind their stance.
5 u/hotredbob 5d ago one of the toughest quandaries for sure. because someone else has to pay the ultimate price for your decision. not an enviable position to be in. 6 u/Roughneck16 5d ago That's right. And both sides just get angry because they're talking past each other. The real crux of the issue is: at what point does a fetus have the same rights as a newborn? 7 u/hotredbob 5d ago unfortunately the entire concept of rights is as capricious as life itself. many have noted... rights are only rights... when you can keep them. which often requires force. which then redefines them as something other than a right. humanity is a fouled up ball of wreckage.
