100% agree. This isn’t about women’s reproductive rights or what they do with their bodies. Its about the right of a defenseless human life to live! Great video!
I was pro-choice at one point. It's all about perspective, and I was focusing more on the life of a woman over the life inside of her. However, I did still struggle internally with the idea of killing for the benefit of another person. I think it was Stephen Crowder's "I'm Pro-Life: Change My Mind" segment on abortion that changed my mind. I am pro-life.
The reason why a baby needs to stay in the mothers body for 9 months, is for protection. Although in the west, in progressive society, it's the most dangerous place to be. If it wasin't so vulnerable, then it wouldint need to stay in the womb so long, so the 9 months is immaterial when your deciding if its human. Its human from conception.
Given that there are significant opposing positions on abortion, it is too bad we couldn't come to a reasonable comprise. Oh, wait - we already did that with viability. The GOP needs to learn that they can't have everything their own way. Fighting over settled law only impedes the common goal of reducing unwanted pregnancy. The over-reach is going to backfire.
We need to redefine the American abortion phenomenon as “American Genocide.” Abortion is genocide. Murder. We are guilty of a worse societal crime than the Nazi Holocaust. The guilty always struggle with the problem of “language,” using words to say what they don’t mean.
Ill play devils advocate. NOT FULLY MY BELIEFS: Simply because something is "living" does not mean its on the same standard as humans, trees and bugs are living yet we kill them easily, and the philosophical reason why humans are on the next standard of life and don't deserve to be killed (high intelligence, ability to use logic and reason, our ability to point out and preserve highly sophisticated patterns, our 5 senses, the happiness we cause others, and our subjected consciousness) are all not present for most of the fetus' development. I will also point out SOME people on the right are quick to forget their values in protecting innocent life as soon as a drone strike or civilian casualty rates gets brought up, then all of a sudden excuses to justify the death of innocent people are plentiful, so the whole "abortions bad because it kills an innocent, and that's never justified" does not really work for lots of conservatives who justify the loss of actual born children in the name of patriotism, or say "shouldn't of been resisting arrest" when a innocent black man is shot... Once again this clearly does not include all conservatives, some do actually practice what they preach about protecting the innocent, but so many are hypocrites when it comes to abortion
The argument that ultimately changed my mind is this. "If you do nothing, the fetus will become a person." I can't articulate why that simple sentence had such an impact on me. But it rolls around in my head all the time now.

We were all a fetus at a point , were't we?
If you kill a woman carrying a child, you get charged with double homicide.

Pretty straight forward..... when you have a soul.
Killing an innocent person is Murder.

I need to know more about this.

You can tell Matt is used to debating people that don’t really know why they’re talking about rather than subject matter experts.

What I'm going to say, may sound indelicate.
