Hi all, I (atheist) had a discussion with my mom (Pentecostal) about a scenario and I’d like to get some more opinion from her side of the coin.
So she argues that abortions are morally wrong, but I proposed a scenario (a real one from our own lives) where a couple had 6 miscarriages and continued to try for more children.
My argument was that if there is value in a human life at the time of conception, then it would also be morally wrong to try to conceive a 7th child when probability tells us that it is very likely it would result in another miscarriage.
I feel that if you gamble a life with let’s say a hypothetical 80% chance of miscarriage then you can’t value the lives in both scenarios equally.
That isn't the same thing and as someone who has had a miscarriage your thoughts on the issue are actually hurtful. It is never known what causes a miscarriage so your probability scenario is invalid. Women who have miscarriages already feel horrible and broken when it happens. To say that them trying again for a child is the same as a choice made to terminate a pregnancy is really ignorant.
