I think one of the funniest abortion stances I've heard was from my parents neighbor. He's a like, hard-core libertarian viking larper guy who is very tall and very fat and very bald.
He believes a fetus is human with a soul, but also its "basically attacking the woman's body" so if she wants to get rid of it, that's "basically self-defense". He compared it to shooting a home invader. So he supports abortion not as healthcare, but as killing a baby in self-defense
#this is genuinely the most ironclad version of the argument for being pro-choice is the thing#like im not even kidding i think it rly cuts to the heart of why i so viscerally hate prolifism#and why its such a transparent misogynistic power play against women#like im being a little facetious but i think the best most universalizable argument that forces even christian fuckheads to contend with#with the fact their politics h#inherently demeans the value of women is to consider if someone offered to temporarily attach their blood stream to someone#who would die without sharing that bloodstream. is the donor obliged to support ta#that person as long as necessary to keep them alive? abortion is a lot like this question imo and if you can frame it right (which i did#weakly here imo) then you can really put pressure on the gross fakeness of prolifers equating abortion to murder as is
