I feel like the abortion debate isn't going anywhere. Abortion in itself is not an inherently evil thing. You're simply removing a fetus from the uterus. This is something that needs to be done when you have a miscarriage for example. In cases where the baby is still alive you're terminating the pregnancy, thus killing the baby. This is usually where religious people start to join the debate because killing someone goes against the Word of God, making abortion an immoral practice. Almost all of the tactics of religious people involve convincing pro-choicers that the fetus is in fact a living being with a nervous system and they'll start telling you how it has nails and showing pictures of the different stages of the development etc., all in an attempt to convince the public that abortion is murder and it's awful and needs to end. Most ppl agree that killing another human is bad. The thing is, those tactics don't work. Everyone knows they're killing a baby when they get an abortion, it won't stop them from having one. No one WANTS to get an abortion. It's not a nice thing to go through. Most women getting an abortion are in really tough situations. Abortion isn't the problem. Abortion is a symptom of a fucked up economic system and a fucked up world in general. Getting rid of it won't solve the issues leading to an abortion. And yeah I'm sure there are people who use it as a contraceptive, and to those people all I have to say is, use prOTECTION.
Ultimately, abortion has been around for a while. People will always try to get rid of an unwanted pregnancy because it's unwanted. It's better that people have access to safe abortions rather than them DIYing it at home and simultaneously risking their lives.
