Legalize abortions until week 20
Women have the right to their own bodies
fetus is a resident in the mother
As human beings, we have the right to make decisions about our bodies.
Dangerous pregnancies
fetus' right to live can't be applied here bc both fetus and mom would die from dangerous pregnancies
ectopic pregnancies, preeclampsia, HELLP
Raped women suffer extreme trauma
emotionally traumatizing to see rapist in baby
mother can resent baby
ex: Sarah said her pregnancy was so intertwined with her rape that everything about it was emotionally damaging
Self-performed abortions are unsafe
in some states women are jailed
Inflicting physical trauma that would be otherwise unnecessary
Infections, drinking bleach ,throwing self downstairs
Waiting past week 20 is harmful
unethical to wait too long (giving baby life while planning to terminate its life)
avoiding pain
Argument that we can't kill humans is invalid
No true definition on what makes a human a human
some say a we are humans bc of our great mental capacity-- false bc those who are mentally disabled are still considered human
We can’t say that “killing unborn fetuses is murder” especially when that fetus can’t be defined as a human
