On a fundamental philosophical level abortions in the west happen because comforts and hedonism are prioritized over the life of the unborn child. You're not doing an unborn child a favor by snuffing it out of existence so it doesn't live a life of poverty. Hell, I was born in an extremely poor country, and billions other were and if you ask all of these people would tell you they rather exist and struggle in poverty (with a potential chance to escape it) vs not existing at all.
Wish the pro-abortion side would just be honest and stop talking about rapes or incest that account for such a negligible part of abortions. Like just be honest and say I rather finish college, or I want to fuck around without consequences, or I don't want to be burdened by caring for a kid.
That is what the majority are saying, even in here, people have repeatedly said if the person is not ready to have a child because they cant facilitate it, that encompasses nearly everything you just listed.
This thread specifically has some arguments because the thread was targeted purely at health.
The vast majority of pro-abortion are, its not you, you don't get to say or control women like you want to, so fuck off. Sure you can cherry pick responses or arguments that are solely around health, but the vast majority of pro-abortion people have made it quite clear that its not someone else that gets to dictate.
I wish the antiabortion side could just be honest and say they want to turn back the clock and control women again, revoke their right to vote and label every woman that has had sex pre-marriage a whore.
