no one thinks it's murder. not even you. you're just lying to troll people (or because you hate women)
I genuinely do believe it is killing a human. The whole "its just a clump of cells!" is a reductionist argument that serves no purpose. We are all clumps of cells. I'm not religious either.
No, it's not reductionist. It's exactly what it is. What is reductionist is making it some kind of moral panic based on misinterpretation of religious text in order to force your perspective on others. The bible gives instructions on how to perform an abortion, and we know that abortion saves lives. Ectopic pregnancy, miscarriages, and other perfectly legitimate medical reasons are part of why abortion access is necessary and should be enshrined as female health care. If you are secular and still anti-choice, then you might not understand that your personal morality has no place in an operating room.
I'm not religious at all. Even though I'm not religious, I think it's still fine for me to speak out on things I view as wrong.
I'm ok with abortion if the mothers life is directly at risk. I'm not ok with abortion being a backup birth control.
Nope, that's exactly what abortion is, birth control. That is exactly what it was established as decades ago, and exactly what that partisan Supreme Court overturned against the will of the people.
Abortion is nothing less than birth control.
I'm glad you are admitting it. Many people try to hide this fact. I wonder why
