What's the worst pro-abortion argument you've ever heard?

[Gift_from_God]

I’m on the side of logic and common sense, and those two things will always win in the end. With that said, I believe it is illogical to say a fetus isn’t a human. In fact, I’ve heard awful arguments in support of it. What’s the worst you’ve ever heard?

The worst I’ve heard is “animals kill each other, so HA!”

Why bring another life into the world just to suffer?

This isn’t said by someone who is homeless or hungry or living a life void of people who love them. It’s said by people who find no meaning in their own lives so can’t accept that a new life would have meaning either.

It is my body. (the baby doesn’t have one)

We want to make abortions safe and rare. (how is it ever safe for the baby?)

A 14 year old girl from the neighborhood across from Planned Parenthood Naples,FL. She is yelling at us during our 40 Days for Life Vigil.

You’re wrong! your wrong you don’t know what you are talking about.

It’s my body. It’s my choice on what I feel I want to do. You can’t tell me what to do.

Why are you harrasing these people ?(Planned Parenthood employees and patients). Why don’t you all go home.

Another middle aged lady shows up to me with her SUV with disabled tag, rolls down her window and flips at us with the middle finger, then takes off.

“It doesn’t matter if its a baby! It doesn’t matter if its a person! I wouldn’t care if it poked its head out and asked me politely not to kill it because it was self-aware! If its in a woman’s body she can have it out!”

The guy who said that was an abortionist in training who had assisted in partial birth abortions before it was banned.

But to be honest, I perfer the pro-aborts when they’re consistant, at least it shows us what they really support. Child murder. No exceptions.

Its all pretty bad, really. Its like asking what one of Hitler’s arguments against Jewish humanity was the worst.

(Yes, I made comment about abortion and the holocaust).

It’s just a clump of cells.

 

[Benadam]

At the heart of almost every decision to abort a child is the view that the new human life is a curse. Then that hatefull view is added to the original self justifying excuse.

Eve’s view of her offspring changed between Cain and Seth. When Seth was born she seemed to be very gratefull. She went from " I have gotten" to " God has granted"

2nd vote for “it’s just a clump of cells”. I responded to this on a newspaper forum (tongue in cheek) by saying that adult humans are just clumps of cells too, and the guy seriously agreed with me.

 

[Corki]

Are you looking for “worst” as in most illogical or “worst” as the one that makes me fume?

The most illogical is “it’s better than letting another child be born into poverty”. There are so many inspiring stories of great men and women who came out of poverty that the idea that it’s better to be dead than poor is mind-boggling.

As for “worst” at making me fume, that vote goes to “it’s not a person until it can think for 'it’self.”

My son and I and a couple of thousand other Christians were participating in the fall Silent Life Chain,in Niagara Falls on Lundy’s Lane where we hold up inoffensive placards like “abortion hurts women”"abortion kills children,etc. and this “tough” guy slammed his brakes in front of a group of us and began harranguing us that there were too many “Feebs”(retarded people etc.) in the world and that they were useless and should be aborted

.We are asked to not respond to provocation but to start praying the Rosary which those around me did.I could not resist however pointing across the street at a young man with Down Syndrome who was witnessing for Life with his Father.I simply said,“why don’t you start with him”?He was at a loss for words,looked shamed and drove away.

It is easy to argue for murder inthe abstract when the human is not visible,thats why every potential abortive mother should be required by law to view a sonnogram,the fathers too-abortions would plummet

 

[iluvburpees]

All of them.

This of seems to be the newer argument often used…

“Of course the embryo is a human, with it’s own DNA code…of course it’s alive, and a living being…but is it *sentient * of self aware?”

:banghead:

:banghead:

Yeah, it seems this is the newest “fall back” argument, because they can no longer deny that the unborn child is a biologically distinct from the mother human being. This also serves as a good segue to advocating euthanasia for “non sentient” or “non-self aware” disabled adults. Kills 2 birds with one stone (no pun intended!)

Here’s the question though: From a religious POV this is easy to argue, but how do you argue this from a secular POV? W/o using religious terminology?

 

[simspt]

pro abortion activists always refuse to debate anti abortionists who use videos or pictures. Imagine that! The more advanced pro abortion argurments from philosophers are the worst IMO b/c of who they come from. Those who have educated themselves to the point of becoming moral imbeciles within academia.

That is exactly the arguement Zatzat used before she got herself banned.I said lucky for you your Mom was pro-Life and you should thank God,gaia or yourself,whoever it is that you worship and this was her response:

But thank God or gaia or yourself,your mom was pro-life right?

“{If I had been aborted, I wouldn’t have known about it.}”
As if she was a fish or frog in the womb.It’s the old “a rat is a pig,is a dog is a boy” arguement that the pro-murder camp lifted from the animal rights nuts both of which are diabolically driven by the Prince of the Air,Satan.

 

[Bendecida]

The “I don’t care!” argument. In other words someone says that human life begins at conception and/or brings up the seperate DNA fact and they get an “I don’t care!”

An effective secular argument is that none of us were ever “self-aware”. We came to this life because we are intended to do great things. If you abort a baby, think of the history that will never happen. Think of the lives that will never be touched. Think of what this child is capable of. for all you know, you could be killing the individual who discovers the true cure for cancer.

You know what’s really creepy, or weirds me out anyway. Abortion was legalised in the 70s.

The children who were aborted in the 70s, 80s and probably early 90s would be having their own children now. Their own families. Perhaps some of the kids aborted in the 70s would be becoming grandparents now?

Abortion didn’t just take the life of one child, it’s sick effects will be felt in the next generation.
