If our opponent has good motivations that lead to terrible outcomes, we can still affirm the good motivations. That's common ground. "I get you want [positive thing]. Me too. But this approach leads to [negative thing], that's the problem."

The idea that abortion is somehow not killing is a sad, desperate joke. Walking denial. Pro-choicers who argue this can't own what they're actually defending.

If it's "religious" to argue life begins at conception, it's also "religious" to argue life doesn't begin until birth. The pro-choice position has its own metaphysical premises, usually assumed and unexamined.

When abortion is seen as morally neutral or morally good, community members are more likely to view a woman who refuses to abort as irresponsible, even selfish, for choosing to carry a difficult pregnancy and expect resources from the community in the process.

Unplugging a brain-dead patient isn't like aborting a brain-developing fetus. Brain death is defined by irreversibility: it's the *permanent* cessation of function. If we believe a coma patient were likely to awaken, we wouldn't unplug. Our future cognitive abilities matter.

Pregnancy is not a punishment for sex. It is a result of sex. Abortion restrictions aren't about punishing adults for having sex, just like child support isn't about punishing adults for having sex. Instead, both are about protecting & taking care of the children adults created

It is extremely difficult for people to defend elective abortion without first devaluing children in utero. That's why pro-choice rhetoric is rampant with dehumanization.

In nearly every instance, abortions aren't triage cases where the fetus must die to save the life of the woman. They are almost always situations where, absent abortion, there's no significant threat to either one of their lives.
