It's just like playing with matches. If you don't want to get burned, it's nothing to play with.
If you burn yourself from matches, then treatment is legal in all 50 states to heal yourself. But this treatment is undisputedly harmless whereas this is not true for abortion.
Really with all activities you can do that are dangerous, you can say, “If you don’t want the risk, then don’t do the activity”. But with all of these activities (except for sex), if things go south, then you can legally get treatment in all 50 states since you aren’t harming anyone by getting treatment for the vast majority of activities (you aren’t harming anyone significantly if you put ice on your hand after a burn from matches).
Find some situation that meets all of the following criteria:
1. Feels very good to do on an instinctive level.
2. Has plausible risk to it if things go very south.
3. Treatment would harm some other entity significantly
And one bullet point from the following criteria:
4. Therefore, you should not be allowed to get the treatment due to the significant harm it would cause to others.
5. Despite this, you should be allowed to get the treatment despite the significant harm it would do to others.
It’s easy for me to think of many situations where 1 and 2 are met. It’s much harder for me to complete 1-3 and then get 4 or 5. Your answer for 4 or 5 should be something pretty much everyone agrees with.
I will tag one person who believes abortion should be legal and another who wants it banned. Let me know what you guys come up with.
