What is your stance on abortion?
Pro-life, but allow in cases of rape, incest, or danger to the mother or child
A compelling argument against the pro-life stance that permits exceptions for situations including rape, incest, or risk to the mother or child is that it contradicts the fundamental ideas of reproductive rights and bodily autonomy. These exclusions limit women's choices and autonomy even as they recognize the seriousness of some situations. Without hindrance or condemnation, every woman ought to be able to make decisions about her own body and reproductive health. Furthermore, making exceptions leads to a precipice where a woman's decision to seek an abortion is deemed worthy depending on the circumstances surrounding her pregnancy or the perceived danger, so sustaining discrimination and stigma. Thus, upholding a pro-choice position guarantees that every woman has equal access to safe and authorized abortion.
