Yes a woman's right to choose whether or not to continue being pregnant, and whether or not to have a child..
The argument is her autonomy It's her body, it doesn't belong to anyone else, If you say an unformed foetus has more right to use her body to grow in than she has right over her own body then you're elevating the rights of that foetus over hers.
No one has the right to force her to have a child.
I don't know why anyone sees any good in that, for the woman, for an unwanted child, or society.
Apart from the fact that she may well have not chosen to have sex at all (rape)
She may not have chosen to have sex in order to become pregnant .
Humans have consenting sex for many other reasons than procreation, this is why contraception exists, and has done as part of medical science for a long time.
Before that a variety of other methods were used, with varying degrees in of success, but outside of sterilisation, or infertility, nothing is infallible.
Do you only ever have sex with your wife when trying for a baby??
Depending on your technique, poor, or lucky her..
Sometimes contraception fails, inside or outside of marriage.
You seem to think that women should always bare the consequences of having sex, where contraception failed (or where there was rape) and be forced to have unwanted children.
Why, what good comes of that.??
Bearing , and birthing children, let alone raising them is a heavy burden on a woman's body, and a big responsibility.
Why do you want to force that, on a woman especially when there is a safe effective way of terminating those unwanted pregnancies early on.
I said that your quoting of the pastor was garbage because the vast majority of what he alleges happens isn't true. Any half truths he puts are presented in such a way as to be deliberately inflammatory..
If that's what 'pro-lifers' are believing then they need to give their heads a good old shake, and get educated
I could list any number of horrible situations where the consequences for a woman being forced to have a child, or the way in which a woman was forced by a man to become pregnant, have been horrific, there are many millions of instances, of women being treated terribly, and they are true, but those horror stories are not necessary to support the 'right to choose' .
They lend weight, and draw peoples attention to bad situations, but however an unwanted pregnancy occurred it's still a woman's own body, it's her choice .
If you say as you did earlier that terminations might be ok in instances of rape or incest, why then, and not any other bundle of cells??
Does that bundle of cells that was formed by a rapist impregnating a woman have less 'right' to grow in a woman's body, than any other bundle of cells, why?, it's not their fault how they were formed is it?
As for the idea of religion or state, somehow forcing people into marriage, and then forcing them to stay married, if a pregnancy occurs that's a fine recipe for miserable people, miserable children and further abuse.
Or are you going to somehow police against all sex outside of marriage.??
Good luck with that..
Come to think about it, you're going to police against all sex inside marriage too, if that sexual congress is not intended for procreation purposes then stop it now!!
Yes men need to grow up and take responsibility for their own actions.
Part of that 'growing up' would be to stop trying to force unwanted pregnancies on women, or trying to control them in other ways.
tldr.
The only humane option is allowing women to choose whether or not to have children .
Principally through the provision of freely accessible and appropriate contraception.
But if that has failed, and the woman has no wish to continue an unplanned pregnancy then she should have the right to end it through an early termination.
Her body, her choice.
Anything else is forced continuation of a pregnancy which is inhumane.
