I think you'd have to ask yourself first why this guy elected a scenario describing pro-choice for rape as a fitting comparison to a woman's right to decide the future for herself, with consideration to what she permits to take up residence, like unto a parasite, in her womb.
Rape is not only illegal, but is one of the most horrifically violent assaults and personal trespasses on a woman's sense of self, sexuality and emotions, one can think of. Perpetrated by deviant violent people against their victim.
Which, while those characteristics can be attributed to the most ardent ultra-right wing conservative pro-life zealot when they take up the standard to force women to remain pregnant against their will, by law, it remains that a woman's right to choose is her right. Not her violation.
And when it comes to the god excuse to champion forced pregnancy and outlawing of all abortion, besides all the scripture that describes god's repeated murder of the born and the unborn, if one first accepts all life comes from god and all things happen by god's will, as the scriptures say, then spontaneous abortion, aka miscarriage, besides those aforementioned infanticide instances in scripture, make god the universal abortionist.
And another thing. Genesis tells us that humans do not become a living soul until they take their first breath. Per the Adam creation story wherein god breathed the breath of life into the Adam and he became a living soul.
A fetus does not take a breath in utero. Only after they're born, do they breathe. So abortion does not kill a living soul, so as to allegedly offend a god that kills fetus in utero with regularity.
And finally, if you really want to spin the Catholic anti-choice forced pregnancy by law zealot on his ass, bring to his attention that abortion saves! Returning a pure soul unto Heaven, so that they're not born into this world bearing the curse of god's ordained original sin.
alright well thanks everyone, I'm going to have to call it a night and I'll bring this stuff to him tomorrow and we'll see how it goes, I'm sure I'll be by again tomorrow and give you an update. thanks
