The main issue is not whether abortion should be allowed, but why unwanted pregnancies happen in the first place, so proper sex education and access to contraception should be the first line of defense, with abortion as a last resort rather than a first option. If someone is old enough to decide to have sex, they should also be ready to bear the consequences, because avoiding consequences is not a solution, it just shifts the problem into another form. On the my body my choice argument, a fetus has its own DNA and sometimes even a different blood type from the mother, so it is not simply a part of the mother's body, there is another biological system involved, which means bodily autonomy alone is not enough to override the rights of that second being. The viability or not yet conscious standard is also problematic, since newborns and toddlers are also not fully developed yet they are still protected, so if being underdeveloped becomes a valid reason to end a life, that logic becomes dangerous if applied to other stages of human life. On physical risk, being statistically safe is different from having no risk at all, since there is still a chance of uterine rupture, severe bleeding, or infection even in a reputable hospital, and that risk falls on the woman's own body. There is also a contradiction regarding time limits, because if a fetus is considered not yet human, why is there a gestational limit for allowing abortion, since the existence of that limit itself implicitly admits that the larger the fetus grows, the more it is recognized as human. The violinist analogy often used to justify abortion is also flawed, because in that analogy the person is kidnapped against their will with no part to play in it, whereas pregnancy outside of rape is a consequence of a deliberate action. The legal and safe versus illegal and dangerous argument is also not really just two options, there is a third option, which is strengthening prevention upstream so that the rate of unwanted pregnancies goes down in the first place. For rape cases specifically, how a person was conceived does not determine whether they deserve to live, because judging a fetus's right to life based on the circumstances of its conception rather than who it is now is a logical error, just as no one would say an adult deserves to be killed simply because they learned they were conceived through rape. Demanding responsibility while also providing support systems such as adoption, social assistance, and psychological help are not mutually exclusive, both can be pushed for at the same time, rather than just giving birth and then washing one's hands of it. Regarding the Turnaway Study data, the study is methodologically controversial because the sample is not representative, participation rates were low, and it is prone to self selection bias, and in fact the study did not find differences in emotional, social, or motor development, only in self care skills and economic stress. The claim that a negative cycle automatically continues is also not supported by resilience research, since many children from difficult circumstances still develop well depending on protective factors such as family and community support. Rejecting options like adoption or social assistance just because they do not guarantee a perfect outcome is also flawed, since the abortion option itself is not free of consequences either. The claim that ACEs data proves it would have been better not to be born is also mistaken, since descriptive data about trauma does not automatically lead to a moral conclusion, and philosophically speaking, comparing existing to never having existed at all is an uneven comparison because there is no subject who can be said to benefit if they truly never existed. Finally, demanding strict evidence from the other person while using a looser standard when making one's own claims is a double standard pattern that kept showing up throughout this debate, and it never actually answered the most critical question about the double standard of no guarantee of readiness meaning it would be better not to exist at all.
