Three of the most common objections to the pro-life position are…
Abortion is a woman’s private choice.
Even if a fetus is human, it’s not a person.
And, if you ban abortion, women will be forced to get dangerous, back-alley abortions that are medically unsafe.
What would you say?
These arguments are known as the “privacy” objection, the “personhood” objection, and the “back-alley” objection. Often, abortion advocates will rattle them off all together, making their case seem strong. It’s not. The next time these objections come up in conversation, here are three things to remember:
– The claim that abortion is a woman’s private choice ignores the status of the unborn.
– “A fetus is human but not a person” is an assertion, not an argument, and it undermines human equality.
– The “back-alley” objection,” is based on a lie, that it assumes the unborn are not human, and that it is demeaning to women.
