No, I don't support mandated vasectomies or mandated tubal sterilization. I’m not interested in forcing people to get pregnant or not. I’m not pro-life because I want to control people’s bodies or punish people for sex. I just think once a human exists, it's wrong to kill them.

Many people need more than one conversation to change their mind about an important issue like abortion. Some people need a relationship.

PC:"You just want to control what people do with their bodies!"
PL: "No, I’m interested in controlling what people DON’T DO with their bodies, like kill other humans."

“Evicting” a fetus from your uterus is the same as dropping a toddler in the ocean; both are perfectly healthy humans, just too underdeveloped to survive in that environment. Forcing them into an environment where you know they can’t survive is killing and must be illegal.

You're most likely to take differing viewpoints seriously after forming a relationship with a person, rather than in the beginning, when you have no idea who the speaker is or what they’re like.

I think we should accurately describe other people’s positions because it demonstrates that we care enough about them and their views to try to understand them. We should love the people we’re talking to and not just see them as an object, a mind to be changed.

Most people will not change their minds about a serious subject after one conversation, so an ongoing dialogue with a friend can be really helpful.

Abortion is always safer than childbirth? Studies in Scandinavia, where they meticulously report all abortion and childbirth statistics due to their socialized healthcare systems, show that abortion has a higher fatality rate for mothers than childbirth.

There are very real problems and challenges that women face in pregnancy and motherhood, but the violence of abortion is an unacceptable solution.

Your value doesn’t rest in how happy you are or what you achieve. Your value rests in WHO you are: a human person deserving of respect and protection, even in the womb.

PC: “Freezing an embryo does not kill it. Freezing a human does. Ergo, an embryo is not a human.”
Ummm...Freezing an unborn HUMAN doesn't kill it, and freezing an adult HUMAN does. Because adults are larger organisms, which are harder to thaw.
This isn't the epic take you think

Consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy?
If I go to a casino and bet on roulette, but it doesn’t land on my number, I lose my chips. I can’t say “now that I’ve seen the outcome, I withdraw consent.” You don’t get to withdraw consent from effects of an action you consented to!

Just because a pro-choice person cannot determine where the dividing line is between a valuable human infant and (in her mind) a non-valuable human zygote, that does not mean that there isn’t a difference.

“I regret my abortion” is the easiest pro-life slogan to counter, because all the pro-choice side has to do is put up a woman who says “I don’t regret mine.” Abortion isn’t wrong because women regret it or it hurts them. Abortion is wrong because it kills an innocent person.

PC: "My body, my choice."
PL: "Do you think that abortion should be legal after viability?"
PC: "No!"
PL: "So...you ARE okay with controlling women's bodies."
Most pro-choice people don't actually think you have a right to do ANYTHING you want with anything inside your body.

Sometimes when pro-life and pro-choice people talk, they talk only about abortion. Forgetting that people are complicated, multifaceted creatures can ruin your chance to form a meaningful friendship with someone.

Almost all pro-choice people make bodily rights arguments, but most of these people, well-meaning or not, are flagrantly inconsistent.

PC: A acorn isn't an oak tree, so a fetus isn't a child.
Me: An acorn isn't an oak TREE because tree is a stage of development term. But an acorn IS an oak. Sure, a fetus isn't a human ADULT. But a fetus IS a human.
There are good pro-choice arguments. This isn't one of them.

"Women deserve better than abortion."
True, but I also think women deserve better than vanilla ice cream, and that doesn’t mean Baskin Robbins is wrong to offer it. We shouldn’t be selling abortion as a second rate option. We should be selling abortion as an unthinkable choice.

Pregnancy is not exotic. Or a disease. It's a perfectly normal biological process that my body is preparing to do literally every month. Stop degrading women. Stop degrading pregnancy.
