Rather than trying to find things we disagree on, why don't we try to find things we agree on?

Do you think people should be allowed to control their own body? Why/why not?

I don't think anyone is "mincing up unborn babies". I think you might misunderstand how abortions work in practice, but anyways.

> If you want control over your body, exercise that control to not get pregnant in the first place.

So you are of the opinion that if someone "screwed up" something, essentially made a mistake, they should have no options to correct that mistake?

What about if someone else made them pregnant without their consent? Would bodily autonomy become more important in your mind then, or same "don't get pregnant in the first place" apply, even if it's outside of their control?

> Start with the infamous account from the practitioner who boasted of her novel technique that begins with cutting the baby's vocal cords to muffle its screams

You mean the woman who lost their medical license after clearly not understanding how abortions work?

> It also says that Torres has made “public statements related to the practice of medicine which violate the high standards of honesty, diligence, prudence, and ethical integrity demanded from physicians licensed to practice in Alabama.” - https://cbn.com/news/us/abortionist-who-gloated-about-cuttin...

> I think we would be better off if people experienced the consequences of their actions

I think so too, but not everything is under your control, like pregnancy. And sometimes you try to do everything you can in terms of preventing pregnancy, yet it happens anyways, is it really compassionate to punish people who made mistakes? As a Christian (maybe you're atheist), I just cannot comprehend the lack of compassion for people and forcing them to have a unintentional pregnancy.

> Nobody is forcing anyone to have an unintentional pregnancy. What an unusual and manipulative way to frame the consequences of one's actions.

I'm not sure where you live, but most places on earth have a really shit situation wherever humans live, which is called involuntary sexual intercourse, if you haven't heard about it before, I guess consider yourself lucky. For the rest of the people who do experience that though, I feel a lot of compassion, and whatever they need and want to do to heal from that sort of trauma, should be OK, as long as they're not hurting other humans.

> Humanity was just fine for millennia

You also don't seem to grasp the long history of abortion, probably longer than even written history which is just 5000 years.

> By making abortions accessible, you make abortions necessary

Accessible or not, abortions are sometimes necessary, and sometimes the most compassionate route. If you were Christian, you might have understood, so I hope whatever degeneracy your chosen religion seems to have forced upon you, eventually lets up so you too can start to see compassion against your fellow human beings.

I hope one day you get rescued from all these deviant thoughts that seem stuck in your head, and you too find Christ in you so you can feel compassion for the other humans on the wonderful planet God created for us. Until then I'll pray for you.

		Wait... You're Christian!? And you support this? Oh dear. Your jewish overlords must be so proud of your sociopathic evangelism of whoredom and baby murder.
