I think abortion is a good thing, because it helps to keep the population growth rate down.
So if the population were tiny it would be ok to force women to undergo an unwanted bodily invasion? What does population have to do with anything? Would you think it acceptable to kill born children, or elderly people, if the population got too large as well? Pro-lifers think fetuses have a right to life, population has nothing to do with that. Pro-choicers believe women have a right to equal treatment under the law, population has nothing to do with that.

I think that abortion should stay legal, stay a choice of the mother. If somebody is against abortion, that's their opinion, they can choose not to take part in it. But if others believe they should be able to have an abortion, it should be available.
I think that beating your children to death should be legal, it's the choice of the parents. If someone is against beating children to death that's their opinion and they can just not beat their own children to death. But beating your children to death should be available for anyone who wants to do it.
Pro-lifers believe a fetus has a right to life and that a terrible transgression is occurring; asking them to stand by and do nothing is like asking a pro-choicer to stand by and permit other people to beat their children to death. You won't convince anyone that way.

Yeah, they're bad because people can use it as a way to just get rid of an unwanted pregnancy but then they can also help in the case of rape or health issues
Why should women be punished with an unwanted pregnancy, but those women who are raped get a 'get out of damnation free' card? If a fetus has a right to life why does it matter HOW a woman got pregnant?
