Many don't know what they are in for. Others do, but their instict to procreate is stronger than their fears of what is involved and the associated risks.
If women are that stupid or feral, then maybe they shouldn't have rights. After all, they can't help but hurt themselves. I believe you've mentioned having a wife or girlfriend. Do you have children? Was she stupid enough to take the Big Chance of pregnancy? Why would you even have sex with her? She could be hurt, don't you know.
You really need to lose this dangers-of-pregnancy argument. It's pathetic. No one's going to buy that abortion is justified to spare women from a natural part of their life cycle, especially when they usually bring on those dangers by choosing to have sex. Childbirth is something the female body is made for. Abortion, not so much. I submit that abortion is more dangerous than bringing a child to term. Of course, that's difficult to substantiate with real numbers. I would think the most harm to the woman from giving birth is the financial and social consequences, not health-wise. That would be a more persuasive argument for you, though it's still very weak.
See above, as well as pleasure, ignorance, carelessness, etc. Why do people bungee-jump, sky-dive, fresh-water-kayak, swim with crocs and sharks, etc.? Why do people do all sorts of dangerous things?
And such people suffer the consequences of their actions - actions that don't contribute to the propagation of the species. I thought you were one of those heartless libertarian types.
Tell that to the women that still die or survive serious damage as a result of pregnancies. By forcing women to continue a pregnancy, you are the one pulling the trigger in the Russian roulette, make no mistake about it. That modern science has deceased the number of live rounds in the revolver does not change in any way your fundamental position as the one pressing the barrel against her skull and pulling the trigger. You really have to face up to that.
Ooh, OK, I'll go ponder.
I'm pulling the trigger? No, the abortionist does that. I'm putting a gun to someone's head? No, in most cases, the woman is doing that to herself by having sex. Your arguments are really spinning out of control.
I am open to new evidence that beyond any doubt proves that the fetus is a person of equal standing as the mother and thus should be afforded the same rights. If that is accomplished, I will gladly change my stance to anti-abortion based on reasonable balance of rights.
Think about what you're saying. You're going to allow someone to be killed, because you're not sure if they have rights? If it's possible those humans may have rights, why not protect them from being killed until we find out otherwise? The downside isn't near what you make it out to be.
