My personal opinions on it are more mixed but legally I think it should be an option for every pregnant woman

I don’t really know what “without any moral reasoning” even means in this context tbh. I think terminating unborn life is a tragic outcome we as a society should avoid when possible, but sometimes it’s necessary to protect the mother. At the end of the day that’s a choice that should be between a woman and her doctor.

Pretty impossible to talk on this point without using moral reasoning though

it’s a good question, but OP seems to not want to debate in good faith, but argue for the sake of argument & picking apart their opposition’s ability to debate rather than tackle the subject at hand. i would suggest you review this exact question in debates held on Jovan Bradley’s channel.

Statistics and research show us that women who have access to reproductive healthcare including abortion fare better than women who don’t. Here’s just one screenshot (link at the bottom) from a study showing that women who were denied an abortion were more likely to be in poverty, struggle to gain employment, and suffer economically five years after the denial. Out of curiosity, what is your standpoint on abortion without moral or religious arguments, OP?

Why are you yelling #5? It wasn’t a point yall needed to know nor understand. It was something I was doing for myself and yall definitely proved me right. If you’re this angry over a question I think you need serious therapy. All of you have issues if a question is making you this upset.

Again, you lack the ability to argue this point. That’s okay. However, just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Lawyers this for a living. You could have picked any legality standpoint and moved on.

Why would I have read your discussion with #2 before commenting? Maybe dial back the condescension a little bit, that’s uncalled for. I’m no closer after reading that dumpster fire of a conversation to knowing whether my comment is in the scope of your question or not, but it’s the answer I’m going to stick with.

You’re right. It’s a strange way to format the question, since something being legal ≠ morally correct. They consistently mention “thinking objectively” about the subject, but… that often leads to outliers and nuances being dismissed, though both are crucial info in medical science. I think people who are against abortions don’t know enough about the procedure, let alone the nuances and details required to make “objective” decisions for that patient’s care, which OFTEN require morality/ethics.

That’s the exact point of this post. I want people to actually look into the procedures and be able to back their claims. They need to realize their argument is flawed if they aren’t able to also argue based simply on facts, objectively, legally, or without evidence. It’s normal to have a moral opinion on the topic but if you can’t argue past that then you need to do more research.

You brought up #2 under this comment. I was commenting about YOU. You “are looking for opinions” but when the opinion is that it’s difficult to answer your question without moral reasoning (which is true), you claimed that as invalid since other people replied without criticism of your question’s logic. Then when they attempt to continue the discussion for further info of your question’s logic, you just tell them to stop engaging & demean their position… What kind of discussion is that??

I don’t think that you and I have the same understanding of the role that morals/ethics plays in abortion care… which therefore makes a mutual understanding of the question extremely difficult to ascertain. the comment was about 100% of your replies on this post, actually. if someone “can” answer the question as is, that’s fine, but that doesn’t mean the question is without flaws. It absolutely is a flawed question. Access to reproductive care is heavily influenced by ethics & morality…

… the ethics behind the Hippocratic oath is built off of morals. NAGPRA was put into place via ethics & morality. Boundaries on gender-affirming care for minors was created via ethics & morals... Is morality/ethics not solid enough foundations for these three examples of practices, two of which are in the medical field?

You need to be able to argue everything point you believe in without a once of bias. Like I said, you can have a bias. You can argue morally, but if you can’t argue without morals your argue is weak. Have a good day!
