The child did not get to choose how it came into the world. No one has a right to choose to end the baby's innocent life anymore than anyone else has a right to choose to end someone else's innocent life. It is still a life regardless of how it came into the world and deserves protection.

In what regards is the child "innocent" in the situation of an unwanted pregnancy? It's quite literally using your body against your consent; it doesn't get much more invasive and non-consensual than that. No one has the right to use your body beyond your consent, whether it's an adult person or a literal fetus, and as such, you have every right to stop them from continuing to do so, even if that means they would die. Abortion has nothing to do with "life" and everything to do with consent and the right of autonomy over the use of your body...

You are reasoning in a circle, my friend. One heck of circle. Because if no one can "use" your body without consent, then I'm pretty dang sure the baby would object to "using" his/her body for murder, and would prob'ly wave a sign saying "HANDS OFF MY BODY" like you non thinkers do

This is actually really simple: the baby is the one violating the mother's body, not the other way around. If you are the perpetrator in the case of violating someone else's consent, then you do not get any say in how that person, the victim, reacts to defend themselves from you. This is the case in every interaction. If someone is assaulting you, then you have every right to take defensive action against them, including killing them, if need be; they give up their protections from you upon violating you. If someone breaks into your home, if someone is raping you, if someone is trying to force a medical procedure onto you, etc...youRead more

The mother, in 98% of cases, consented to act that she KNEW could cause a child to be created, so it is HER fault that the baby is there. Even in the 2% of cases that are rape, it still is not the baby's fault. The baby had no say in any of this, and killing him is very evil. However, I have come to expect evil from the democrat party, especially against children.

It's important to consider that consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy. Birth control methods, while highly effective, are not 100% foolproof. For example, a couple uses contraception responsibly, and yet an unintended pregnancy occurs. In this case, the woman did not consent to the pregnancy, and it could be argued that she should have the right to decide whether to continue it.
As for the 2% of cases involving rape, I agree that it's not the baby's fault. However, it's crucial to empathize with the victim who has endured a traumatic experience. It's not fair… Read more

Even if the mother wanted to have a child, got pregnant, and then some time during the pregnancy decided that she no longer wanted to continue the pregnancy...she would still have the right to retract her consent and end the continued use of her body. It does not matter in the slightest whether or not she previously consented, because consent must be maintained throughout the entire process, otherwise it is a violation.
According to your logic, if you consented to have sex with someone, but then halfway through you decided that you were uncomfortable and did not wish to continue, the other person would have the right to continue having sex with you, even though you no longer consent (that's rape, btw). This is obviously not how consent works, and unless you would be pro-rape, you understand this too...
