No, I don't support mandated vasectomies or mandated tubal sterilization. I’m not interested in forcing people to get pregnant or not. I’m not pro-life because I want to control people’s bodies or punish people for sex. I just think once a human exists, it's wrong to kill them.

Consent to sex is not consent to pregnancy? If I go to a casino and bet on roulette, but it doesn’t land on my number, I lose my chips. I can’t say “now that I’ve seen the outcome, I withdraw consent.” You don’t get to withdraw consent from effects of an action you consented to!

If you willingly go swimming with a newborn, you MADE the newborn dependent on you to float, so you do NOT get to revoke consent so they drown and die. If you willingly engaged in sex, you MADE the fetus dependent on you, so you do NOT get to revoke consent via killing them.

Bodily autonomy is important, but you don’t have absolute bodily autonomy. When your actions with your own body are violently harming another person, that is not okay. Bodily autonomy doesn’t grant the right to kill another human person, which is what is happening in an abortion.

Abortion and miscarriage are the same? That's like the difference between cremation and burning someone alive; sure, they’re both the same thing procedurally (the burning fire part) but there’s a VERY relevant difference of whether the human being burned is alive. Abortion kills.

If the fetus is a parasite...then miscarriage is a success story? Loss parents' bodies were way better at “defeating” their “parasitic” children than the bodies of parents who got to bring their live newborn babies home? This narrative is unbelievably ignorant and disrespectful.

Pro-lifers are oppressing women? I believe that killing another innocent human is wrong, the kind of wrong that should be illegal. That’s normally not a controversial stance. It's not usually considered “oppressing” people to say you’re not allowed to kill others.

Me saying "someone killing you should be against the law" isn’t violating the separation of church and state. So me saying "abortion should be against the law" isn’t violating the separation of church and state either. It’s about equality and anti-violence for all humans.

Q: “Would you tolerate abortion if we removed the fetus alive and let it die naturally?” A: If you purposefully drop a newborn in the ocean, you only moved her environment, but you can’t say “I didn’t kill her, the ocean did.” That "removal abortion" is still killing. Not okay.

Using viability for personhood means a 24-week-old fetus is a person today, but that same fetus 30 years ago isn't, or that same fetus TODAY in a different country without a NICU suddenly isn't a person anymore! Personhood can’t depend on when or where you happen to exist.

What’s our goal for stopping abortion? We have no interest in controlling women’s bodies or punishing people for having sex or something. We just want to end legalized killing of innocent people, and the unborn are people.

“Most abortions are done with a pill. The pill doesn’t hurt the fetus, it only severs the connection from the woman.” Taking away your oxygen tank while you’re at the ocean floor doesn’t hurt you, it only severs your connection with oxygen?! That's still killing and still wrong.

Elective abortion is the deliberate killing of an unborn human via suffocation, lethal injection, or dismemberment. We're arguing that intentional killing of other human persons is wrong. That’s not usually a controversial position.

"Sex isn’t a contract to incubate a human within your body” The problem is that pregnancy is being talked about like it is an ACTION instead of an EFFECT. When you consent to actions you are also consenting to that action’s consequences even if you consider them to be undesirable

"I simply do not care anymore. Get an abortion if you want to, don't if you don't." There are innocent vulnerable people being VIOLENTLY KILLED every single day in our country by the thousands. Abortion isn't the kind of thing we're okay with ""just not caring about anymore.

"A fetus has value the instant the pregnant person decides it has value. Otherwise, it gains personhood at birth in my mind." I find it HIGHLY concerning that any human's worth - literally their life or death - could be solely dependent on what other people think of them.

If someone is dying of kidney failure, you can legally choose not to save them. But you may not kill them yourself. In pregnancy, there is no “just refuse to help” option—abortion is suffocation, lethal injection, or dismemberment of another biological human. #endabortion

It's simple: it generally shouldn’t be legal to kill people and a fetus is a person with an equal right to life. Abortion should be illegal; it's a lethal act of violence against an innocent person. I'm saying “don’t kill," which is NOT the same as forcing someone to do something

We're pro-life, not pro-forced-birth. I'm saying that killing another person shouldn't be a legitimate option on the table. Our government has TONS of laws that "force" you NOT to do things that harm others. Saying "you can't kill" is not the same as forcing you to do something.
