A pro life freak would call you a murderer and dismiss your argument immediately.
And I would ask for justification for calling a woman who chooses to abort a murderer when they don't also say women who experience natural miscarriages are guilty of manslaughter.
Quote:My girlfriend's argument, for instance, is that from her perspective a fetus, being your future biological son
So... she'd be okay aborting daughters? Why does it matter if it's a son?
I'm going to carry on with this reply as though you had said "future biological offspring or child" since that's gender-neutral and doesn't bring in the issue of sex-selection abortion.
Quote:is more important than your whole life
I will be the judge of what most important in my life, not some random guy on an internet forum's girlfriend, thankyouverymuch. I'd be very pleased if you told her that. She does not get to make decisions for me. She gets to make decisions for herself.
Quote:she'd prefer dying from complications if it was a risky pregnancy than to have an abortion
And she is welcome to make that decision for herself. NOT for anyone else.

She can carry on loving kids and being a teacher and not infringing on the rights of other women to decide what happens to their own bodies. Those things are not mutually exclusive.
