  1.  @Tam-Ruh4856  It's the winning argument, as without 100% effective methods of protection, healthy, responsible individuals with healthy intimate relationships will sometimes become pregnant when they are unprepared to raise children. That said, it is not a reasonable expectation that people should be prepared to raise children before they have sex, nor is it a reasonable expectation that they give birth should conception occur. Abstinence is not an option for these people, they're in healthy intimate relationships and they must fulfill their partner's needs, or the relationship must end. Telling people to end their relationships is an absurdity, and you know it. Telling them to have less intimacy when they're already happy isn't going to win you any favor, either. If the cost of something is too high, people turn to piracy and other methods of circumventing the price. They'd rather take gambles to get what they want or need and worry about the consequences later, and large enough numbers of people avoiding consequences becomes a societal problem that you WILL have to deal with. Look at countries like India, where everything everywhere smells like human waste. If that's what you want, keep going the way you're going. If not, grow up and start advocating for adults to make the decisions they need to make without harassment from the law.

  2.  @Tam-Ruh4856  It is a need, one that adults take care of in different ways. Unless you're asexual, sex is an inseparable aspect of intimate relationships, and intimate relationships are a necessity for our wellbeing. Pregnancy is too high a price for sex, and people will never be willing to pay this price. Instead, they'll try to circumvent it because sex is vital to several aspects of human development, and is definitely more important than your childish judgment of the way others choose to live their lives.

  3.  @Tam-Ruh4856  Since you don't seem to have a firm grasp on all of the complicated moving parts of a relationship and what humans need, here are some comments from people that are having issues fulfilling their partner's needs. Sex is absolutely a need, and lackthereof tends to end a relationship. People are willing to end even marriages and fight vicious battles over custody over children and property for it. This isn't a problem that you can say "I don't need it" and have it eventually go away. Your urges will subside as your body starts to die, and the quality of intimacy decreases with age, and you will die with regrets. "I don't fully understand why I don't want sex myself. I just really don't feel like it. I love my partner and I find him attractive but nothing happens for me 'down there'. Sometimes I just lay face down in the bed and let him do his thing. Sometimes I spend hours working myself up to the fact that I have to have sex. I know it's not fair for him for me to just decide that we're not having sex. It breaks my heart and his heart everyday." "I feel like you and my girlfriend are the same person. I hate having to ask all the time but it just seems like we never would if I didnt. Im only home 10days a month and if I get it twice im lucky. I truly do love her but its just so draining I dont understand why she is this way."

  8.  @John-ls4xh  Condoms aren't reliable enough and even mentioning abstinence undermines your position by alienating anyone that doesn't follow your religion.

  9.  @John-ls4xh  Superb triple negative. You have zero credibility and your anecdotes cannot be proven, and it is counterproductive to your argument if they are. Abortion typically is not a mistake, as in 95% of cases, it is the right decision for all involved. That said, you were free to do what you think was a mistake, others should not be denied the very same freedom that you have already enjoyed. Women are free to decide what they do or don't regret, you can find plenty of stories of women that regret giving birth, and they are FAR more horrifying in comparison. Abortion causes less bleeding than childbirth, with childbirth having over twice as many casualties. Deadly force is deadly force. No, it is not an "equivalence" to murder, it's just deadly force. This is pointless to argue, I listen to far too many court cases for this "talking point" to be worthwhile.

  10.  @John-ls4xh  You can look up the complications of childbirth. They're worse and more frequent. What you experienced was freedom. You decided, you acted, you then decided that you made a mistake. Freedom is scary, deal with it. Deadly force is force significant enough to kill an organism.

  11.  @mathildeyoung1823  Nah, doctors don't treat risky pregnancies because it opens them up to litigation. Ectopic or not, they still run the risk of seeing the inside of a courtroom, and courts in evil states are not to be trusted.

  15.  @natepolitics1490  Men are not equal contributors to pregnancy, so they do not have any such say. IF they want such say, they should be forced to tear their anus several inches first.

  16.  @JAMBALAYATALKS  Abortion isn't murder, and I'm not concerned if you disagree with me. It's necessary and the opinion of abusers like you is irrelevant.

  18.  @mathildeyoung1823  Abortion prevents damage, human beings that have done nothing wrong will have no involvement in a woman's medical decisions.

  19.  @mathildeyoung1823  Don't violate women's bodies if you don't want to be killed.
    1
  20.  @mathildeyoung1823  That's good, then you won't be killed. If a fetus is inside of a woman's body without her ongoing consent, it may be killed if she isn't willing to suffer such violation. Your appeal to nature fallacy is noted and rejected. You do not have the right to a woman's body even for the preservation of your own life. You can get violated by dying if you violate women.

  21. It's a woman's personal choice, not genocide. You are evil for framing their healthcare decisions as such.

  24. The far Reich has always been worse. Abortion is a choice that should be left up to the individual, not the state. The Supreme Court had it right the first time around.

  26.  @mathildeyoung1823  No, they're not saying it. Whether or not it would actually be better is debatable, but living in despair creates more pain than dying in peace. Nicholas Cruz.

  27.  @annieg12  Because you're creating problems that are your responsibility to fix. One issue at a time, but "not killing babies" creates bigger issues than killing babies does.

  28.  @annieg12  I've never met a single pro-abortion individual, nor heard of any pro-abortion movements aside from old Chinese policies. That said, we're not stopping women from getting medical treatment at all. If you don't like our solution, it is your responsibility to provide incentives for women to choose alternatives to it. It is their choice, if you can't get them to choose to willingly have children, then obviously there's something wrong with your argument.

  29. Imagine how you'd feel if you had $50 to spend on groceries a month, and then ended up pregnant!

  30.  @Blitzinity  Intimacy is a vital part of human development, and intimiate relationships are necessary for a human's wellbeing. You are excellent proof of this, celibacy has caused you to become a toxic, hateful person. Where I come from, people are choosing death because they're "not overeating". You are a monster.

  31.  @Blitzinity  Terrible people often have great strength. I would rather be a kind, moral person than a physically strong one.

  32.  @deuscoromat742  Abortion has nothing to do with convenience, it's an absolute necessity. If people in Africa had access to sterilization, they'd take it. You should be forcibly sterilized, of course, as you would neglect the hell out of your children. Shame on you.

  33.  @brismarter  Your first sentence was a bold-faced lie. You don't care about anyone that you can't use. You are an evil manipulator and you've solved exactly zero problems since the dark ages. Until all other problems are solved, leave abortion alone.

  34. As quality of life goes down for people, selfishness goes up. There will be no "revolution", just poverty.

  35.  @joshuaedwards3322  A vehicle? I have no hope of affording one of those. You don't understand what it means to be impoverished if you think it's okay for kids to live like that. Wages can be enough if the demand for labor is higher, but the more of us there are, the lower the cost of labor.

  36.  @tgrey4827  Holy crap, you're pure evil. You very well could have died and you would force other children to die for what YOU want? The war will never end; we will ignore your laws and fight you.

  37. You're very wrong. No matter how much you try to convince women otherwise, they will still need abortion, and no matter what you call them, they will still get them.

  38.  @NaliTikva  Before forcing it onto others, you must bear that burden yourself.

  39.  @NaliTikva  Oh, so you're pro-choice then! I'm glad to hear it!

  40.  @NaliTikva  I think that the choice to have children should be made independently from the choice to have sex. This is because everybody needs intimacy for their mental health and development, but not everybody will have the opportunity to be able to provide for children, and not everybody is a good parent.

  41.  @NaliTikva  I don't know anybody that supports killing children, just abortion. Birth control is very helpful, and when it fails, we have abortion.

  42.  @NaliTikva  Abortion is ending a pregnancy. The same amendment that outlawed slavery at the federal level is the amendment that protects abortion.

  43.  @NaliTikva  Do not violate women's bodies, and you will not die.

  44.  @NaliTikva  That's a very extremist viewpoint you have. The rest of the developed world views abortion simply as ending a pregnancy and does not see a fetus pre-viability as a "child". The US is going through a serious case of kangaroo courts right now, but as the 14th amendment has been gutted, slavery can be legalized once again within the United States. Reproductive slavery has already been legalized.

  47.  @deuscoromat742  Deus Coromat thinks it is totally acceptable for children to starve to death. They don't need a basic standard of living, they're not humans with rights, after all.

  48.  @mathildeyoung1823  I disagree. Being unable to provide for children causes generations of suffering that could be prevented.

  49.  @mathildeyoung1823  There is no reason to go such a route. Abortion is available for fetuses, multiple methods of abandonment are available for toddlers.

  50.  @mathildeyoung1823  Yes, multiple methods of abandonment are available for toddlers.
