Why does it bother you (is bother the correct word?) that people even get abortions? I’m very much pro-choice and I just don’t see the argument in pro-life other than stripping women of their rights. No need to reply, I’m simply curious.

Why does it ‘bother’ me that people get abortions?
Why does it ‘bother’ you when a person is raped?
Why does it ‘bother’ you when someone walks into a kindergarten and shoots a group of children?
Why does it ‘bother’ you when someone is stabbed to death in their own home?
It’s because you recognize that an atrocity was committed toward an innocent member of the human race, and you know that is wrong.
Scientifically speaking, you have always been a human, since the moment you started existing. Logically speaking, this means that you have ALWAYS possessed your human rights, the most basic and important of which is the right to your life.
Abortion is the intentional killing of an innocent human. It does not matter whether that human can feel pain, is awake, or is dependent on someone else. No one has the ‘right’ to kill them, not even their own mother.
