      Really enjoyed this thoughtful conversation with @LilaGraceRose of @LiveAction. Respectfully shared some differences and talked through one of the most difficult topics of the day: https://youtu.be/yeHdaz5AlPY  (And yes, it’s been demonetized by @TeamYouTube.)pic.twitter.com/jbRrAOA6P5

      Safe, legal access to abortions leads to fewer abortions, fewer botched abortions, lower rates of death while giving birth and more babies carried to term. But, sure, call it "pro-life"

      This argument is a tough sell: 1) That stat has been debunked several times over. 2) But even if it were true, there's no possible way to reconcile the facilitation of "safe, legal access to abortion" with the view that abortion ends an innocent human life.

      1) Amnesty InTl, Guttmacher Institute, WTO, Human Rights Watch, and Doctors Without Borders beg to differ. 2) Have fun defining when life begins, so the view it begins at conception is even dubious on religious grounds. 3) Women have the right to make decisions w/o u butting in.

      1) Show me a specific study. Most have been misquoted and actually suggest the abortion rate is more directly tied to access to contraceptives. 2) Zygotes are living organisms. That's not even debated. 3) Why apply that here but not, say, child abuse, or other contested behavior?

      1) You mean this study you're misquoting that says legal abortion AND contraceptive use is best?https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2709326/ … 2) organism, maybe, but not a person. 3) Not the same cases. By protecting a child from abuse you aren't preventing women making decisions about their health.

      You're mischaracterizing both what I said AND the study. I said reduced abortion rates are *more* tied to contraceptives, not exclusively. And that study is with respect to *unsafe* abortion, not abortion overall.

      Let's cut to the chase. Answer this: your wife is 19 weeks into pregnancy. Dr. finds markers for a disease that guarantees, even if carried to term and w/ no miscarriage, the fetus will die almost immediately. Your wife has a 50/50 chance of dying giving birth. What do you do?

      You follow a guiding principle of preserving human life. If this is one of the exceedingly rare situations where there is a medical indication that a choice between the mother and the child must be made, then there's certainly room for such a tough choice to be made.

          While these scenarios are rare, there is a fundamental difference between accepting risk to one party because it's medically necessitated to save the life of another. Those are hard decisions, and they shouldn't be trivialized as a defense for unrelated, elective abortions.

          If you agree that this is the case, then even a compassionate, conservative stance on abortion begins with keeping it accessable, safe, and legal.
