Abortion is not a right. Having sex is a choice. Having unprotected sex is a choice. When it's not consensual it is considered rape or sexual assault.
If there's a significant chance baby or mother will die in the process of delivery - it then becomes a matter of what's best for the entire family, and who is most likely to survive, not just 'kill the baby' and problem solved.
Demanding rights to abortion isn't much different than of me saying I don't want a brother, therefore I should have the right to kill him... Or parents saying one is enough, yet you did nothing to reduce the chances of having a second child.
Abortion is murder. Abortion is not taking accountability for a pregnancy that most likely is the result of consensual sex. People need to take responsibility for their actions instead of demanding the right to kill to somehow absolve them from wreckessly and purposely getting knocked up.
1. I completely agree with you that unprotected sex is a choice and that people should take responsibility for their actions. I, myself, am 100% against unprotected sex and believe that contraception should be used in 100% of cases when a baby is not planned.
2. However, I believe that a person has the right to use lethal force against an attacker to self-defense from their own death or bodily harm, regardless of whether the attacker is human, animal, alien etc. Similarly, pregnancy bears significant risks to a woman's health and life, and if she is not ready to sacrifice her health and life for a baby, she must do what it takes to prevent it. While some pregnancies may pose no immediate threat, in many cases, medical professionals are unable to predict such complications, and in areas where access to abortion is restricted, women may be denied the option of terminating the pregnancy due to the absence of a clear threat to their health.
3. I assume that you are from a western part of the world where (a) all forms of contraception are easily available, from free condoms to permanent methods and everything in between, and (b) there is no tradition of forced child marriages / reproductive coercion where a bride is usually a child according to western standards and cannot give consent. As someone who did not grow up in the western world, I strongly agree that contraception must be used in all cases where a baby is not planned, especially in countries where it's easily accessible. It's almost criminal not to take advantage of the accessibility of contraception when it's available.
I, again, want to express my strong agreement that contraception MUST(!) be used in 100% of cases when a baby is not planned, especially in western countries where it's easily available. It is important to take responsibility for our actions and prevent unwanted pregnancies whenever possible to avoid the need for abortion. However, in cases where contraception fails, or in cases of rape, women should have the right to make their own choices about their bodies and their lives.
