This has never been a very rational argument. The 150 million orphans are alive, so if you cared equally about both groups (not making a ruling that’s the right thing, just that the assumption you and they are making), it makes perfect rational sense to focus on the ones in the greatest danger (who can be killed at will). It’s a little like when r’s respond to complaints about ICE murders by asking “oh yeah, and how many illegals are sleeping on YOUR couch?”. Like none of your business idc whe
Well same as orphans they’re alive until you do something about it, that’s my point. The difference is that it’s (relatively) uncontroversial (nowadays) that you *shouldn’t* kill orphans, which is why 150 million of them are alive. Orphanages are usually mistreating the orphans? That’s news to me but even if that’s true, unless they’re killing them it wouldn’t affect my point. Pro lifers are reacting to the fact the unborn are in greater mortal peril, which, as far as that goes, is true.
Did you know that a newborn child outside of its mother’s womb also cannot live without direct outside support? You made an objectively incorrect scientific claim. If I put a human on mars it wouldn’t be viable because we aren’t meant to be on mars. If you take a fetus outside its mothers womb it’s not viable because it’s not supposed to be outside its mothers womb.
What I think is wild is going to bat for an unborn fetus while thousands of children in foster care are mistreated? The whole point of the OP’s post was that pro-lifers care to much that a woman gives birth but then does nothing to help the thousands of children being hurt by a system meant to help them.
In my opinion, even if by science the cells are going to become a life and bla bla what the main focus is is the mother. It’s not so easy to just push a baby out and call it a day you struggle during and after pregnancy and your body is quite literally not going to be the same. There’s so many risks to pregnancy and also costs. If I was pregnant, which I’m a virgin and would use protection, I’d also abort the baby because why would I want the child to live in the system??
