HONEST QUESTIONS ON ABORTION
If abortion is morally equivalent to murder, why don’t you advocate charging women who obtain abortions with homicide the same way we charge any other person who hires a killer?
If every fertilized egg is fully a child, why don’t you push for criminal investigations of miscarriages to determine whether negligence played a role?
If you believe life begins at conception and must be protected at all costs, why oppose universal prenatal healthcare, paid maternity leave, and expanded child nutrition programs that would materially protect that life?
If abortion is a holocaust-level moral evil, why is it rarely your top voting issue when candidates contradict you on other biblical ethics like caring for the poor, welcoming the stranger, or racial justice?
If you argue government must stay out of healthcare decisions in nearly every other area, why is this the one medical decision where government control is not only acceptable but necessary?
If you claim to defend “small government,” how do you justify state surveillance of pregnancies, menstrual cycles, and medical records to enforce abortion bans?
If abortion is murder, why not support comprehensive sex education and free contraception, the two policies shown to reduce abortion rates the most?
If the unborn child has full constitutional rights, should pregnant women be allowed to claim them as dependents on taxes and receive child support from conception?
If you insist the fetus is a person from conception, how do you justify exceptions for rape or incest without implying that personhood depends on the circumstances of conception?
If you argue abortion bans protect women, why do maternal mortality rates often rise in states with the strictest restrictions?
If you believe in personal responsibility, why is the burden of an unplanned pregnancy almost entirely placed on the woman rather than legally enforced on the father from conception?
If your movement is truly pro-life, why is there often resistance to policies that reduce gun violence, expand healthcare access, or address poverty after a child is born?
