the abortion debate would be about five zillion times less horrible if - pro-life people remembered that it’s often a violent, excruciating process that women are forced into and terrified to have - pro-choice people remembered that many pro-lifers sincerely believe it is murder

I think I genuinely get both sides. I lean pro-choice but I mean, I get why pro-lifers consider the fetus a human. I can see the little hands. You'd have to be purposely dense to not get where that perspective comes from.

this is only true in pretty late-stage abortions; the vast majority of abortions happen before the foetus develops stuff like fingers often before it even has anything resembling a heart bmj.com/company/newsro

Framing it was pro- L vs C seems counterproductive, but we all do it People imagine it's a 39 week old baby bedding aborted, but with 90% pre 12 weeks, well before legal limits, most people aren't against the abortions that actually happen in practice
