Only about 3-9 million of those live in orphanages globally and at least they get a chance to live.

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

re they sleep, just don’t kill them. Pro lifers take that same attitude towards the unborn and even if you disagree with it, it’s not inherently hypocritical.

Yeah those fetuses aren’t alive so you’re prioritizing cells over a living being who usually are being mistreated in the orphanages. And by your own logic that means we should be prioritizing them first.

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.

Not even until 6 weeks old, besides if a woman chooses not to have a baby, then she has every right to get rid of the cells inside her.

Do you know what it means for something to be alive?

Yes, I do but to be clear a fetus cannot live without its mother for months on end, take it out of the womb and it would die because it cannot live by itself

I’ve seen two people now in this thread saying “orphanages”. We are aware that America doesn’t do those anymore, right? That’s what the Foster Care system replaced. Those kids are getting bounced around from house to house, not in one large building anymore

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.

Yes I think ppl doing that is wrong. We should be caring for both. What I think is wild is making a scientifically incorrect statement that you presumably know is wrong because you said you know what it means for something to be alive.

But it’s not incorrect a fetus CAN’T live outside the womb and while a baby can’t either I will choose to care for a living breathing human than a fetus. If a woman doesn’t want it, she has every right to an abortion and I will always believe that

all qualities of life are also met by single celled parasites. if you are going to base your pro-life argument off of science you should at minimum familiarize yourself (in depth) with human embryonic development.

Yes, single cell parasites are alive as are fetuses, and I didn’t even say I do make my argument based off science. They made a scientifically incorrect statement claim that is objectively wrong

Scientifically speaking a fetus isn’t even considered viable until 22 weeks (at the earliest) also if you aren’t basing your arguments of science then what ARE you basing it off?

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??
