The argument against abortion is that it stops the next Jesus coming. Since Mary was a virgin why don’t we just ban abortions for Virgins. It seems like a fair compromise.

Is that really the argument against abortion though? I hear more about how every life is precious and it's murder than anything about the second coming. And even that is just a thinly veiled cover for wanting to feel superior and slutshame others

If life is so precious, you'd think they'd try to help the homeless and poor in the present first instead of who's to come (or may not come) in the future.

And the rule only applies to other men’s women, never their women. Their women can do whatever they want. Law doesn’t exist for them. It’s just another way to control the well being of subordinate people. You have to suffer, they don’t. How they like power over other humans…it’s amazing.

No it's not the argument. @philluminati was making a sarcastic remark.

Anti-abortionists say they believe that every child deserves a chance, but when it comes down to voting for initiatives that provide support for the child after it's born, they say "fuck no; get a job" every time. They never stop to think that not all people are fit to be parents. They never consider the fact that sometimes it's better to terminate a pregnancy than to let the kid live a life of suffering.

The argument against abortion is that thou shalt make babies. There's no worry of Jesus being stopped; there only needs to be one woman somewhere who's willing to give birth to him, and there are almost certainly millions.
