We need to stop bringing up the rape argument when debating forced birthers

I feel like whenever we resort to the rape argument we are basically telling forced birthers

"We get it elective abortions are wrong and icky but rape"

We need to hammer it home that elective reasons for abortion are just as important

I can't help but feel we fall into the forced birther trap when we go "but rape"

Because in the eyes of the forced birther it seems like a concession that elective abortions are wrong

Not to mention we know forced birthers don't give a fuck about women

They constantly dehumanize the pregnant woman in every argument they make

Trying to appeal to their emotions won't work since they don't even consider the pregnant woman an important aspect of this discussion

Sure some may say the quiet part out loud, but if you have debated a forced birther you know the gaslighting very well

"I do care about women" and then they go on and dehumanize the pregnant woman

Rape is something we can certainly bring up because that's a cold hard reality of these laws because they benefit rapists and cause suffering for the victim

But our pro abortion arguments shouldn't just hinge on rape

Elective reasons are just as important and that should be addressed in our arguments as well
