They are not even pro life, they’re against women’s autonomy, they’re perfectly happy letting a woman and a fetus die as long as she doesn’t receive healthcare she needs.
But to the point, incredibly common anti-abortion “argument” is this appeal to emotions, they lie that fetus has developed senses and actually wants to live and all that. All this shit isn’t rational, and yet very common. You’ll find a significant number of people who will use this “but it’s not a fetus, it’s a person with feeling, dreams, job, mortgage, and depression already”, like it’s an argument, but wouldn’t answer yes to your question to “will it be ok if it didn’t have this things?”.
I agree that none of it rational. I guess my point was more that “you’re killing the baby” is the weapon and “they are tortured in the process” is in the pile of ammo.
Like if I’m mad at you for killing someone, I’m gonna say “you’re a psychopath for murdering someone” not “you’re a psychopath for shooting them in the stomach”
I personally convinced more than one anti-abortion person out of their anti-abortion position, by definitively showing them that at the time abortion is performed, the fetus not yet posses the ability to feel. Those people were convinced into their anti-abortion position by those lying pictures of doctors going up there with sharp instruments and killing fully formed person that screams for help, and when discovered that it’s not the case, abandoned their stance.
So it’s a point of contention for at least someone, I know that.
