A friendly reminded to pro-lifers:

  • Your tax money doesn’t may for abortions.
  • We want insurance to pay for them.  That is our own money.
  • If you can’t understand how insurance works, please don’t drive.
  • Not only women get pregnant.
  • If you make exceptions for rape, you are sex-shaming.  You are saying people who had sex need to be punished, but people who didn’t want to have sex do not have to be.
  • Some people just can’t have a baby right now.  It isn’t in the cards.
  • Having sex takes way less time, care, money, effort, skill, and responsibility than raising or birthing a child.
  • A fetus is not a baby.  Just like a teenager is not an adult, and an elderly person is not a child.  That is how life stages work.
  • Bodily autonomy trumps the right to life.  Always.  That is why you cannot be forced by doctors or police to donate parts of your body just so save someone else.
  • Sex is not a crime or an offense.  It does not require punishment or consequences.
  • If pregnant people have to face the “consequences of having sex,” then so should HIV patients.  And I never see you preaching to them about not receiving healthcare.
  • Consent to sex is consent to pregnancy, just like consent to getting into a car is consent to being horribly injured in a car accident.
  • Abortion =//= murder  It literally cannot be murder.  Murder is illegal killing that is premeditated and not done in self defense. Abortion is not illegal and is usually done to defend a person’s way of life or mental/physical health or financial well-being.
  • Abortion =//= infanticide.  Just like a fetus is not a baby.  Infanticide is literally the killing of a baby.  Abortion is literally unable to be synonymous to infanticide.
  • Fetuses cannot feel pain until three or four weeks after the cut-off date for non-health-related abortions in this country.
  • This is scientific fact.
  • Fetuses remain sedate in the womb.  They may react to outside stimuli, just like you would while sleeping.  This means they only feel as much pain and fear as you would while under anesthesia.
  • Fetuses do not “flee” from a doctors’ tools.  They do not scream.  And they do not write badly-written, emotionally-charged whiny poetry while in the womb.
  • If you need to use emotional buzzwords like baby, murder, suffer, destroy, kill, crush, or slaughter, then you do not have a sound and viable argument.
  • The US foster and adoption system has some 250,000+ children of all races, backgrounds, ages, and health statuses waiting for homes.  If you are so pro-life, then encourage people to adopt already-born children.  Adding fuel to a fire will not put it out.
  • Do not call yourself pro-life unless you donate food, toys, clothing, school supplies, money, or time to an organization that helps or cares for already-born children.
  • Abortion existed long before Roe v. Wade.
  • Do not compare abortion to any other tragedy that does not involve fetuses.  It is not the holocaust, slavery, and do not compare it to the marriage equality movement.  DO not appropriate an oppressed group’s struggles for your own gain.
  • It’s okay to be selfish sometimes, especially if it’s for your own good.
  • I don’t owe my body, time, money, or resources to anyone but myself.  Sorry, not sorry.
  • Most women do not regret their abortions.  If they do, though, their feelings are perfectly valid.
  • Do not try to change the mind of a stranger who is considering abortion.  Provide them with scientifically-correct information from a non-biased source, but do not tell them how to live their life or what choice to make.  And NEVER give someone medical advice unless you are their doctor.  Never. Do not.
  • You cannot be pro-life and pro-woman/feminist.  Feminism teaches that all women* should have the right to live their life as they choose and pursue any opportunity there-in, within the law.  Pro-life is in direct conflict with this.
  • We are not pro-abortion.  We are pro-people-can-choose-what-to-do-with-their-own-bodies.
  • Fetuses do not and cannot have bodily autonomy.  It is literally impossible. Bodily autonomy is the status of not relying directly and physically on any other living being’s body, tissue, organs or fluids in order to sustain homeostasis and life.  People on life support use machines.  Dependent already-born persons preserve their own life within their own body without sucking blood out of other people.
  • Not everyone believes in God.  This does not make them wrong, “stupid”, ignorant, uneducated, primitive, or evil.
  • In this country, we have separation of church and state. That means we cannot make laws based on any religious creed or belief.  We also cannot force others to obey our own religion’s laws.
  • Making abortion illegal will not end it.  It will just make it unsafe.  Would you want someone you know to have to secretly get a back-alley abortion and die in the process?
  • People can get pregnant sometimes as old as seven or eight years old.  The worlds’ youngest mom was five when she had her C-section and her child was raised as her sibling.  She was the victim of sexual assault.
  • Just because you went through rape, trauma, a pregnancy, or anything else DOES NOT mean your story and life are the only ones that are valid!  Not everyone can handle what you can, and some people will handle things better than you did.  That is life.  Do not impose your own actions and story onto the lives of others.  It invalidates and erases them and their own personal struggles.  Thanks.
  • Planned Parenthood does not have an “abortion quota” and they do not WANT you to abort.  They make every patient take a counseling session in which they gage whether or not an abortion is actually right for you and whether you are doing it of your own will, or are being forced.  Every Planned Parenthood does this.
  • A father has no right to a fetus that the carrying parent does not want to carry.
  • A father has no right to force the mother* to remain pregnant.
  • 22% of pregnancies end in either manual or spontaneous abortion.  That means that some pregnancies end in miscarriage and that counts as a spontaneous abortion! Wow! So if you want to be that way, it is 1/5 gone.  Not 1/3.
  • Most abortions happen before sex of the fetus can be determined, so 90%+ of abortions have nothing to do with “killing baby girls,” and abortion is not an anti-woman industry.
  • WE KNOW THAT ADOPTION IS AN OPTION! WE ARE NOT IGNORANT!

Thank you!
