Me and my one conservative best friend often fight the abortion debate, but I have trouble finding holes in his argument. He hasn't changed my mind on abortion, but his arguments do bother me. I can't pin him down with my go-to arguments. Which are that the unplanned pregnancy ruins the woman's life, and that existing would lead to a lot of more suffering in the world. Here's my breakdown of what he says, and the conditions for changing sides.
- All human life is sacred, and killing any human who hasn't committed a crime is wrong.
- Even if there is a slight chance at living a happy and fulfilling life, it's better than no chance at all.
- Unplanned pregnancy doesn't always ruin someone's life, and if it isn't guaranteed 100% to ruin the mothers' life then killing the unborn is wrong.
- Being a person is irrelevant, because a fetus will eventually become a person.
He said he can change his mind if I can either prove a fetus isn't human, or an unplanned pregnancy is always worse than death. Any margin in which there is a chance for happiness, and he won't be convinced.
