Id like to know What kind of sick mentality ever declared that killing babies is a womans right in the first place. That's the part I don't get. Have you ever searched google images for "aborted foetus"? Second trimester abortions are not a bunch of cells. They are brutally murdered tiny people with tiny hands and fingers and they feel pain while they are torn apart by the abortionists tools.

It's an extension of bodily autonomy rights. If a finger nail clipping of mine could save 100 lives, I am within my right to deny anyone who asks me to give it up. I have full and final rights to my body. So, if someone can decide to not give a nail clipping to save 100 people, why shouldn't a woman be allowed to not give a whole plethora of bodily resources to sustain a life for months in the womb? I think this is the logic it relies upon.

I am confused by the US divide here, though. Usually, the right is pro freedom, against rules and regulations, and abortion feels like a freedom that they advocate removed by rules and regulation. Also, the US right seems to be in favour of less immigration and naturalization, more gerrymandering etc to keep the voting populace favourable, but if there were no abortions that would potentially increase demographics that tend to lean left (planned parenthood was started by people wanting to curb the black population after all), so this seems somewhat counter-intuitive. Also, if the unborn child is so important, why is the right so unwilling to increase maternal care and welfare, like proper maternity leave. If the nuclear family is important, parental leave like practiced in for instance Scandinavia, is very healthy to establish strong family bonds.

I have full and final rights to my body

I was not my mom's body at any point in time EVER. She doesn't own my life. At the literal second my dad's sperm entered that egg, she had a responsibility to take care of me until I can survive on my own. This is the reality of life. Women have a duty to take care of defenseless babies, not kill them. I never chose to be born, and I would not have consented to being aborted. I assume pro-choicers would not have wanted to be aborted... yet now they want to kick the ladder of life behind them and prevent others from being born. It's fucking psychotic.

This isn't about freedom, just like killing another human isn't about freedom. You are not free to kill, but you are free to abstain and prevent pregnancy, or to at least settle down in a stable relationship before doing an act that very clearly can result in a new life.

Obviously exceptions exist, but just aborting because of financial reasons is ridiculous. By extension parents should kill their children if one day they can't take care of them anymore. A fetus/embryo deserves human rights!!

I hope you get to watch someone you love starve. Not trying to be mean, but you seem very naive and sheltered.
