I disagree with them. Here's the bottom line: I want the abortion decision itself to not involve the government.
I think this is still a mistake based on a emotional response coz in reality, abortion has same effect as contraception for potential child.

Yes. Especially because abortions done for reproductive choice reasons almost always happen very early in pregnancy.
-
We have evolved a tendency to see taking something away as more serious than failing to give it despite consequences being the same.
-
It seems it served us better to put more effort into avoiding loss than seeking gain and moral intuitions formed around this.
-
Interesting studies done on this but never applied to the difference between not starting a pregnancy & ending one before consciousness.
-
We disagree on that. I can see where you're coming from but I believe you are mistaken.
-
I'm not mistaken in the facts. Contraception & abortion both prevent specific sperms & eggs from becoming people.
-
It just feels more like taking that potentiality away when it is done by abortion than by contraception or by abstinence.
-
I am not denying that my objection is moral and that the reality is complex.

I disagree. Contraceptions prevent pregnancy. I see that completely different from terminating one.
-
Yes, but not for the potential child. You'd be equally non-existent if your parents had used contraception or aborted you at 8 weeks.
-
Its a moral intuition that makes you feel that way rather than the facts of the matter in relation to the consequences for potential child.
