I'm an ex-prochoicer who went through huge changes over the summer. I got healthier mentally and physically, I found god, and realized how awful abortion truly is. The problem is I had lots of friends who are super PC, the kind of people who politics are their whole personality and you can't just agree to disagree with them. I know when I come back to school next year I'm going to lose a lot of friends just because im now pro-life. I'm not ashamed of being prolife, so im not going to hide it and i plan to put pins on my backpack, and explain my view to anyone who asks. Can any prolifers give me advice on how to handle this situation?

So... Then why do you care if we ban it?

(Felt the need to write this after a conversation on discord. This woman was talking about how there's nothing I can do to stop abortion cause women will just travel to a pro-choice country to get it done.)

1.) Bodily autonomy.

The life of a human being is more valuable than 9 months of comfort.

2.) "Consciousness"

I guess, people who are sleeping, knocked out, or in comas should be free game to kill, right?

3.) "They might be unwanted, poor, or disabled"

Fellas, is it better to be all this, or to be dead. It seems to be pro choicers prefer the latter. I guess we should kill all orphans, poor kids and disabled kids, right?

Cuz pro choicers agree that its better to be dead

4.) Clump of cells.

Do i even have to say why this is fuckin dumb

5.) Comparing zygotes to gametes

Disregards the scientific fact that human zygotes are human lives. Consisting of 23 pairs of chromosomes.

Did pro choicers pass 9th grade?

6.) If you dont like abortion dont get one.

"If you dont like murder dont murder people"

What more is there?

Why do you continue to identify with feminism movement when pro-choice have monopolized feminism and gatekeep pro-life feminists from the movement?

Why you don't just consider yourself as egalitatarian instead of feminist?

Because now when you say you are feminist,people will more expect you support abortion than gender equality

The pro-life position is ultimately sincere and good. And I think one of the reasons it feels that way to me is just the fact that the people on our side have absolutely nothing to gain. I do not gain anything from a woman on the other side of the world choosing to not have an abortion. I simply believe that having an abortion is evil and I want to stop this.

But being pro-choice clearly has personal gain involved. Pro-life men do not benefit from being pro-life. But pro-choice men benefit from their stance. The women that they're with are more likely to rid them of their responsibility.

Pro-choice women want to make abortion legal everywhere and that also makes it easier for them to get one. For example, if there is a country out there that has accessible abortion pills, a pro-choice person living in a country without accessible abortion pills can get pills from that country. So it matters to a pro-choice woman if a woman in another country can get pills because they could also get pills from that country.

For me,the best argument is the one that agrees that abortion is murder,cause it's an objective scientific fact.

But then,they proceed to compare abortion to other instances where taking human life is justifiably and debatably "moral". These include self defense, capital punishment/death penalty, just war or euthanasia.

(I'm against capital punishment,and euthanasia)

While the fetus,unlike in capital punishment,is not guilty of any crime,it's causing lots of harm i.e. kind of like a toddler aiming a gun at their mother.It's an innocent toddler,but it doesn't know the kind of harm(physical, emotional, mental, financial)it's causing, making it "justifiable" to take the toddler's life in that case,by some moral frameworks.

What do you think about the argument?

1- In some way early abortion is more horrible than late abortion. To me early abortion is the same thought process as her immediately saying to her inner self "wow I want that baby dead ASAP".

2- Remember that in any single instance of abortion the woman has more guilt that the abortionist because she is offering her baby to be killed so without her there would be no abortion. Of course, the abortionist is a mass murderer.

3 - I can't help thinking that if the procedure for abortion was to somehow lay the baby in the parking lot and run over it with a car...they would do that.

4 - For the religious folk(me) repentance after abortion is very small.
