Reply #37: Most of the antis are OK with abortion if they approve of why

[Nobody]

Abortion in the case of rape, incest, or life of the woman. If they approve of abortion for any of these reasons, or another reason, they still are OK with the general concept. Just not if the reason isn't one they approve of.

However, where privacy enters the picture is that these people claiming to be pro-life don't know the circumstances of every woman's pregnancy. They don't have access to your medical records and the police reports of crimes against you. They can't make an informed decision for you. Nor should they. Not only that, but they don't have any stake whatsoever in the choice they want to make for you, they won't have to live with your death, if you're one of the unlucky wanting to abort because 10% risk of death was too much for you but not for the Board of Abortion Approvers. They don't have to live with the child they'd prefer you give up for adoption or befriend you if you're traumatized by being raped by a family member or a stranger. They don't want the responsibility, but they certainly would love to dig through your underwear drawer and make all of your most intimate choices for you and waltz away leaving you to live with their choices.

Any time a woman walked into an abortion clinic, these people don't know why she's there. They shouldn't. It's not their business. The reasons they do approve of mgiht apply in your case and they might not. But no one is about to open their medical records or the police reports or let them pry into the minutiae of their sex lives so that they can be tsk tsked at by the self-righteous.

And those who aren't bloody hypocrites and oppose abortion no matter what are showing that they value a blastocyst, a zygote, an embryo, a fetus higher than an already existing female human being. If they're aware of the risks that pregnancy carries with it, this is broadcast loud and clear. And doubly so if they don't support free contraceptives for all and detailed information on how to make sure it's 100% effective in every instance.

Because this isn't a perfect world. Nothing is 100% effective.
