Abortion is about equality between men and women. A man and a woman engage in the same act however only the woman has to spend the next 9 months having her body ripped apart. Where is the equality in that? The only way I will become anti choice is if we pass a law that says if a man impregnates a woman he has to spend the next 9 months in a jail cell preferably with a rapist. Because in order to maintain equality a man has to have his body ripped apart like a woman after having sex. Abortion is about giving woman a choice to not go through 9 months of suffering just like a man does not have to go through it. Abortion is horrible yes, but in our male dominated, "boys will be boys" world that we live in, it is a necessary evil.
I would like to mention something related to the last part discussed in this video. The thing about personhood. I feel that the argument that a baby is not an independent person should be considered valid and sufficient for settling the pro-abortion cause. I accept that a foetus is a living thing. Rather i accept it as a member of the human species and being alive. Now to support my argument for abortion, i feel that a foetus in no way or form contributes to the society, and humans living in that society. Rather it acts like a parasite just feeding off of the society(through the uterus in which it is living, as his mother is consuming the resources from the society.). One might say that some old people or people with disabilities might also require assistance, but these people are actually worthy of assistance as they have already interacted with the society or have contributed to it in some sort of way, and even if they are not contributing at that particular moment, they have gathered resources like money or friends, and they use such resources to defend themselves or to tackle their problems. In the case of a foetus, the mother is forced to supply resources to it (without getting anything in exchange), whereas in the case of aged and disabled people nobody has an obligation to take care of them. Let's say if they don't have enough money, the maid might stop working for them, or if they don't have any friends they might have to do all of their work on their own. If they don't have money to pay for the hospital bills, the hospital has a right to stop caring for them. Essentially, if someone is being cared for there is some sort of exchange of resources in this case. Even a newborn baby creates some sort of exchange in the real world that a foetus in the womb cannot. So caring for a newborn baby, at least has some sort of logic, but asking someone to care for a foetus against their will sounds absurd, as the person caring for it literally has nothing to gain.(I am not talking about the people who willingly want to have the baby and definitely see the current womb investment of nine months to be paid off in the form of love, affection, and even monetary support few years down the line.)
These are clear thinking, responsible individuals. They will never give up their fight for the right to ghoulish birth control after irresponsible sexual activity.
Nobody is telling the stories of countless women who have committed suicide or cry every year at the anniversary of the day they committed abortion and killed their child...and the heartache and suffering that goes on from the mother who has to live with what she has done...you never hear those true stories talked about much do you?
At least she did it out of her own choice. Busy Phillips said having an abortion at 15 was the best decision she ever made. He talks about inherent value. Would he pay $300 per week in child support for each baby? If not, I guess people don't have value
@@bjhcvuaerpigfy in one word extremely. Another person responded to my post with one word: exactly. Right there you are outvoted 2-1, which is consistent with nationwide polls that indicate 65 percent of Americans are not opposed to abortion in the first trimester, which doesn't make sense either way if life begins at conception or if Rights begin at birth. Let me put it to you this way. I don't think my wife is able to get pregnant again, but if she did, she can't work and she can't collect disability because I make too much, but I only make enough to support me, her and our first daughter. If I asked you to pay me $300 per week in child support for the next 18 years. If you don't want to, we will have to abort. What's your decision?
54 million a year globally. New York Times says estimates of war dead in human history combined range from 150 million to 1 billion dead. That’s 2.5 - 18 years of abortion.
Moloch has been taking child sacrifices, unabated for 2000 years. The people who rule us are very religious. Wether you believe or not, they do. And trust me, Jesus is a much better role model, than the side they chose. Ever seen star wars? Of course you have. Ever wonder why so many people followed the old crusty emperor? Well, just ask a Hillary supporter.
If you kill a woman carrying a child, you get charged with double homicide. But when she doesnt want to take responsibility for her actions, it's just a clump of cells.
Elijah Butterfield How do you know it wants to stay alive? Technically before around 20 weeks in utero the fetus doesn’t have the brain capacity to care. It’s central nervous system is not developed thus it cannot feel any sort of way about anything. Regardless, we are all at the mercy of whomever we depend upon.
Elijah Butterfield Please show me video proof that a fetus before 20 weeks “tries to escape” from a suction. I would love to see that. What I think you mean to say it is responds to outside stimuli, much like a plant or bacteria. Just because something physically responds to stimuli, doesn’t mean it is acting on intentional merit. It only means that it is alive.
“Not a human person” used by the Nazi concerning Jews, used by Arabs concerning Jews, used by American slave owners concerning Negros, used by Darwinian evolutionists concerning the origin of species.
I never understood the argument that an abortion should be permitted due to the fact that it is dependent on the mother for life. A newborn baby is also completely dependent on its mother for survival. Yes, we've circumvented that a little, developing infant formulas and such, but still the baby is now dependent on a "mother substitute". Think about premature babies. For one thing- If it's not ok to kill the 8 months developed baby outside of the womb, why then should it be ok when that baby is still in the womb? Additionally, many premature babies are dependent on medical technology,such as incubators, to survive. Should we be permitted to kill those babies just because they are not capable of survival without a "host"?
Their argument is then that outside of the womb anybody can take care of the baby. Anybody can provide care for it but inside the womb it's only the mother and if she doesn't want it it's forced upon her.
@@bella3636 Yes, but a mother is inherently responsible for her child, regardless of her desires, the same way a court can order the father of that child to pay child support, regardless of what the father wants. It is inherently the father's moral duty to do so, just as it is the mother's duty to at least bear the child. Fortunately, in this day and age a mother can choose to give her child up for adoption as soon as it's born to a loving home who will care for her child, raising it as their own. I say fortunately because I was a child who was given up for adoption rather than being murdered in the womb.
That’s how slavery was justified, Blacks were not considered a person/human they said because they were not a full human; there for they could be slaves.
Absolutely every argument that was ever made to justify slavery can be used to justify abortion just by replacing "slavery" with "abortion", and "slave" with "fetus".
How can you compare a living person to a zygote? You are saying that Black people are equivalent to fetuses and zygotes. That's like saying dogs are the same as cows and should be treated as such. They are not equivalent and will be treated differently.
@@maddiecakes145 They're all human, so why not? Also, I never mentioned black people. I compared arguments for abortion to arguments for slavery, and you're trying to pivot from that by implying racism despite the fact that most slaves historically weren't black. The word "slave" itself derives from "Slav", as in the white Slavs who were traded as slaves mostly by Arabs. You brought black people up, so isn't it you who is comparing them specifically? You call the unborn "zygotes" as a cope to get away from acknowledging the unborn as human beings, despite the fact that they have heartbeats, brainwaves and the ability to feel pain by the end of the 6th week of pregnancy. Regardless, if you want to decide that "zygotes" don't have the same inherent human value due to developmental phase then why does that only apply to the unborn? Human development doesn't stop at birth and continues until about the age of 25, so why don't we grade a person's human value by how old they are when outside the womb? Furthermore, grading human value by development doesn't comport with abortion norms anyway, because a 20-week premie in the NICU supposedly has more human value that a full-term 40 week baby about to be born in five minutes. This is why the arguments for abortion are not only based on completely arbitrary reasoning, but are an insidious depravity of human rights akin to arguments for slavery, and as I said, the former can be turned into the latter just by switching out a word or two, and that says it all.
@@nightwingvyse I wasn't responding to you, I was responding to OP's comment in which he said "Blacks". I'm pretty sure that refers to Africans who were enslaved peoples. I'm not going to argue with you because I wasn't talking to you.
Abortion is not about a woman controlling her body; it’s (about) controlling another body. No one gives a damn about adult women controlling their body. You want to get a breast implant, get a breast implant. You want a facelift, get a facelift. - Dennis Prager Remember, the zygote, embryo and fetus all have DNA that is different from the woman’s. It IS a different body. Also, abortion can be a medical procedure, but it is, usually, NOT healthcare.
It amazes me that "people" who were once in the womb, say that babies in the womb aren't real! Then "people", explain your existence and how you got here....
@liddletoes definitely didn't begin in a woman's womb. You say "the womb" almost as if it didn't belong to someone. But there definitely is a process before anything grows in someone's womb. If boys didn't waist there sperms on the side of their beds and faces and different places and jarred it.... each and every sperm is the beginnins of human beings. perhaps the Republicans will pass an illegal ejaculations bill ..on capital hill... ? No one sperm should be more important than another.... using a rubber is murder... sperms just suffocate in between extra thin latex and penis...
@liddletoes... so we definitely all started out as sperm, correct? And sperm can be preserved and artificially inseminated to develop in someone's womb or or a womb... im sure it doesnt matter to a baby what or whos womb they get the privilege of borrowing. they just know they have a right to a womb...
100% agree. This isn’t about women’s reproductive rights or what they do with their bodies. Its about the right of a defenseless human life to live! Great video!
Honestly for me the most incredible thing is how these same people will fight for protections for Bald Eagles eggs, or sea turtle eggs and the habitat that they need to lay those eggs, but the human growing within a mothers womb isn't worth protecting.
@@SuperSupermanX1999 The issue is that they chose to have unprotected sex where the consequence is the possibility of getting pregnant with a baby. When you chose to do that, you have created another life. You don't then get to kill that life out of convienience.
Exactly.. as a woman.. it's my "choice" to kill my unborn and return to normal activities/live life as normal. But shame on me if I choose to not vaccinate my children or if I decide I don't want to pay rent but I'd like to stay in the house for 2 more months. After all my body my choice or woman rights. Nope. It only applies to murdering my unborn. It's disgusting.
As a VERY angry and honest old woman said. " With all the contraception options available today, including no sex before marriage, there are no excuses for an unwanted pregnancy, it's the womans fault - NO EXCUSES and if she has an active sex life, which is all of them, then the small amount that are rape wouldn't happen either ". She was really angry and she was really right.
I'm a teen girl and I've always been against abortion. It hurts to hear grown women say that I'm less of a woman just because I dont think abortion should be allowed.
@@anitabonghit7606 It depends on the situation. If a person is in action attempting to kill another person , that first person is no longer innocent therefore killing as an act of self defense is no murder.
So then every single president post world war 2 should be executed then? I mean Trump's first action in office was authorizing a drone strike that killed an innocent and defenseless 9 year old girl. So Trump is a murderer eh?
@@zwendathulo Who knows….. Abortion isnt murder, or there would be around 45,000,000 women in prison….. Instead, they’re walking around free as a bird….
I was pro-choice at one point. It's all about perspective, and I was focusing more on the life of a woman over the life inside of her. However, I did still struggle internally with the idea of killing for the benefit of another person. I think it was Stephen Crowder's "I'm Pro-Life: Change My Mind" segment on abortion that changed my mind. I am pro-life.
I was also pro-choice. Perspective really is everything. To me it was easy to emphasize with the women who were poor or young, or whatever stereotype I had for women who got abortions. My friend shattered this for me. She was a mid 20's comfortably employed, educated woman, she wanted children, she had stability and means, she just didn't have a boyfriend because she got pregnant from a one night stand. She killed her baby for her dating prospects because she figured being a single mom wouldn't be good for landing a husband. It felt so selfish to me, I just started questioning everything. I finally was able to see the other side.
Hopefully she still have her job and house cause the second any self respecting man finds out she killed her baby because she thought that it wouldn't help her get a husband they will call her out on BS and if she refuses to accept that she did something wrong leave her
The reason why a baby needs to stay in the mothers body for 9 months, is for protection. Although in the west, in progressive society, it's the most dangerous place to be. If it wasin't so vulnerable, then it wouldint need to stay in the womb so long, so the 9 months is immaterial when your deciding if its human. Its human from conception.
I believe a little over halfway through the pregnancy the fetus has a higher than 50% chance of survival if removed from the womb... but I could be wrong its been so long since Ive debated abortion
I agree with you.. But tell a mother with a painful difficult pregnancy that 9 months is immaterial… Maybe philosophically, but definitely not medically..
might wanna have a glance of world wide abortion rates and realise its actually the east that aborts. you are probably also rooting for russia at this point.
@@bonbonpony lol of course…I know that But you don’t know if your pregnancy is going to be complicated or if there’s going to be a lot of health stuff to deal..and women can’t just not have sex in their marriage because of that risk..would the marriage last ? I’m pro life….so abortion is not the fix for this stuff… But the problem is doctors don’t always listen to women’s health concerns especially during pregnancy… My issue is you can’t just be like “meh it’s nothing” women need support..and that’s often the attitude I hear..
@@sananton2821 Great, but there are still hungry, unloved and vulnerable children out there, with all of you anticomunists around. Anti communism hasn´t solved sh1t.
The argument that ultimately changed my mind is this. "If you do nothing, the fetus will become a person." I can't articulate why that simple sentence had such an impact on me. But it rolls around in my head all the time now.
Trevor Sampson I’m glad it had an impact on you, but I would make one correction. The fetus is already a person. Otherwise you have to answer the question of exactly when the fetus becomes a person and why. Inevitably, as Walsh says in this video, you would have to come to the conclusion that some people outside the womb aren’t actually people either.
"Homo est et qui est futurus" - irenaeus. Roughly translates to 'who is to be a human being, is a human being!' The quote continues, [for the whole fruit is already present in the seed]. It is an interesting argument that has been used for almost 2 millennia.

@@strangelyukrainian7314 Wow you must be some sort of ignorant uneducated backwater cousin humping hillbilly to say such stupid stuff. Are you honestly that blind to what a woman goes through during pregnancy and after childbirth? Incontinence, vaginal tearing, stretch marks, c-section scars, hemorrhoids swollenfeet, sagging breasts, damage nipples, morning sickness, back pain, leg cramps, varicose veins, possible death, not to mention the excruciating pain of childbirth itself. That is what I mean by "ripped apart". When is the last time a man had to go through the same agony because he made the same choices a woman? I am not going to try and make sense of your inane rambling but I will say this, in a world where 55% of the population are woman and yet 80% of absentee fathers are men how is that equal? If we truly want men To be as responsible as women when it comes to their obligations that we need to threaten them with bodily harm not just give him some worthless fine or some meaningless jail time which has little impact. Do you understand that when a man points his pene'us at a women it is the equivalent of him pointing a gun at her when you consider all the bodily damage and possible death that will happen to her because of his choice? How come he is not risking the same damage? Where is the equality in that? So unless you are willing to mutilate a man for making the same choices of woman then you have no right to take away her right to choose to not be mutilated herself.

If I was raped, I wouldn't want the baby. And if done in the first trimester, why is this a problem, and why is it anyone's business but mine? This is where the pro argument doesn't stack up.
I mean if you get raped you could always take plan B… rape is one of the worst crimes you can commit but it doesn’t relinquish the victim of any further responsibility. It’s still taking a life whether it’s rape or not when you take incest out rape only accounts for less than 1% of all abortions. Legalizing it ignores the majority in the name of the minority
I wish those who had an abortion and regret their decision, especially painfully (my heart goes out to them) would make public how they feel now. Help others avoid that pain and heartache.
@@swaggymcbaggy2178 omfg. A person is a human with their unique dna. Examples of such include jews, negr0es, caucasians, gay men, unborn children. Humanity of all these groups have been questioned at some point.
How about: 1) access to and education on birth control, and 2) resources for women without the financial means, environment or mental/physical/emotional health to support themselves during pregnancy and after the baby is born, through childhood?
It is not a conscious human being and it is inside the woman's body. Therefore it is the woman's choice whether any thing stays in her body or exits. Men do not have any right to tell women (the carriers) what to do with their bodies. This is ultimately their choice.
It isn't their own body that is of concern but rather the body of the child. You will find few pro lifers that would object to the woman removing the fetus if it didn't kill him or her.
@@kingorange7739 No I mean an egg cell already has different DNA from the woman before fertilization. The criteria for separation is separation. An embryo is a reproductive development inside a reproductive organ

It’s annoying that most woman want to say “what about rape and incest” like they got raped or where molested by dad. Those are extreme cases, most woman just don’t want to be responsible for their irresponsibility of sleeping with who ever and not using protection. And that is why they all want to be gods. Meaning they choose who lives and dies and no consequences
kunntakentay I think the top guy is long gone so will just ask you. If the mother is unable to take care of her offspring or has a pregnancy that is threatening her life is it permissible to have an abortion. I only ask because the dr. Minty is making it sound like, if you get raped are about to die whatever the contexts fuck you you’re have that baby no matter what. This seems a little extreme but what do you think.
DOMINICUS ROMULUS if the mom can’t raise the child, there’s adoption. Abortion is NEVER morally preferable to adoption. Also, this idea of the unborn fetus threatening the life of the mother; with the medicine and hospital facilities we have today; this issue is now virtually non-existent. It just doesn’t happen. But in the 0.000001% chance it ever did, then yes, abortion could be permissible. Of course, the focus remains on saving lives (pro-life) because the intent of it is to save the mother’s life. The intent is not to get rid of an unwanted baby.
@@Randomguy2341 A) If the mother cannot care for the child, the mother *should not be having a child.* I know the argument for "but muh contraception isnt 100% safe" is a common one, the simple solution is funnily enough..simple. Don't get your fuck on if you aren't willing to accept the 0.001% chance that you may become a parent. B) If the mothers life is greatly at risk, and it is a choice between the unborn child and the mother, then I can understand the argument for choosing to save the mother. My point isn't that, if you're a rape victim then you're on your own. I understand that there are severe cases. But people need to understand that these severe cases are, not exactly a majority. Just off the top of my head, 1% of women get an abortion due to rape, and in the case of incest it's less than 0.5% (I may be incorrect). In these dire situations, while I dont condone abortion and feel adoption may be better, I'm not going to hold these women accountable because let's face it... that must be terrifying to go through.
Me and my boyfriend want to have kids but are waiting till we can support them and are married. Also we haven't had sex which is easy considering he's in Ireland at the moment. Also we want to adopt so anyone who gets pregnant and doesn't know what to do please consider your other options

Stupid Question? Of course it is but so is murdering a baby because she couldn’t control herself! Rape and Incest is like 1 percent of an argument!
Nope men can have a say when there is more contraceptive options for them. It’s women who are constantly messing with their hormones and it’s her body. That fetus is in her womb affecting her life and as long as it’s is legal to abort that fetus will not be a baby until she wants it. Ever heard the saying “some people don’t deserve to be parents”? Well some people understand that and don’t want to have children. Contraceptive is a woman’s responsibility and the fetus is hers and she can abort or let it live that’s her choice.

@@yee9574 I concede that an unborn child is a human life. But I also concede that evil is sometimes necessary. Just look at war. It is the most evil and terrible of things and yet it is continuous throughout our history. Innocent people are always being killed by soldiers does that mean that the soldier is a monster? You might make the argument well at least it's not a deliberate killing of an innocent person however we know that innocent people always die in war and yet we always have wars. Why? Because it is a necessary horror in our human condition. As an example the Civil War was fought for equality among the races. Would you argue that the cost of human life was too great and that keeping slavery legal was a better alternative to allowing hundreds of thousands of Americans to be killed? Of course not, because when it comes to equality and justice there is no price too high to pay. And in the same way abortion is a necessary horror as it is a battle for equality between the genders. If you truly want to end abortion and keep things equal between the genders I would suggest you pass a law that says if a man takes it out of his pants without being 100% ready for the responsibility of being a parent then his penis will be surgically removed. That would end most abortions because it would end unplanned pregnancies.
The Abortion debate is not new. Philosophers, medical professionals, legal fraternity, religious leaders have been going at it for more than 1000 years. No amount of arguments will settle this soon so that everyone is satisfied with the decisions. In the meantime we will all have to settle for a middle ground. The words embryo, foetus, baby exist for the OBVIOUS reasons that they are different things. The definitions are long-standing. Whether you, anyone else or any group agrees /disagrees is irrelevant. Pregnancy happens to a Sovereign human being and nobody has the right to tell/force that human to either carry a foetus to term and give birth to it OR enforce abortion.What should be urgently reviewed and legally addressed are these - Using abortion as a substitute for contraception and /moral and responsible behavior - BAN late - term abortions. LIMIT the amount of "abortions on request" per person {will make them think twice?} to eg 1 max. - NO FREE abortions-make them Pay in the hope that they will adjust their behavior. To have limitless abortions on request is insanity, even if politicians are promising this, for multiple GOOD reasons. Abortion is an invasive, traumatic, surgical procedure with potentially life-altering and lethal outcomes. 🤔❤️🌍

@@LogicAndReason2025 by “we” you mean 7 justices on the Supreme Court in 1973. According to the sciences of embryology and genetics a new human being is formed at conception. State legislatures will now regulate abortion, not SCOTUS which has no authority to do so. Sadly benighted states like New York will allow pregnant women to slaughter the unborn human beings in their wombs right up until birth.
The issue isn't about whether the fetus is or isn't a person. The issue is that our society is sick. The poor and lower members of the socio-economic system suffer much more by "unwanted" pregnancy. As a progressive society, we need to make sure women are safe and taken care of. Currently, they are not.
@@goranmilic442 However, the woman partook in the creation of that other human. If you and your son were playing baseball in the yard and accidentally smashed their neighbor's window, the neighbor would want you to pay. But you say that you weren't meaning to smash their window. But that's the assumed responsibility of the parent playing baseball with his or her kid, same with sex. You may not have meant to get pregnant, but that's the assumed responsibility the couple takes by partaking in it.
@@litterill First of all, if woman was raped, then she didn't partake in anything, did she? So your argument still allows raped women to abort. Next, in your baseball example, you are forgetting that responsibility comes from contracts or crimes or damages. Having sex is neither of those, so it's invalid to compare damaging someone's window and having sex. Woman doesn't lose right to control her body, just because she had sex.
@@goranmilic442 We both agree rape is a horrible atrocious that should happen to no one, however, it accounts for about 1% of abortions that occur. Abortion doesn't solve the pain that the rape did- locking up the man who did and receiving compassionate love and counseling does. During a rape, there are 1 guilty and 2 innocents- the guilty being the man who did it and the innocents being the woman and the baby. Adding more violence to the baby doesn't help anyone. In fact, there are stories of women who have been raped and contemplated suicide, but upon learning they were pregnant gave them a reason to live. I am in no way saying that the rape was a good thing, but just sharing another side of the story. I'm a bit confused about what you meant that responsibility comes from contracts or crimes or damages, could you explain it more please? Partaking in a recreational activity one enjoys but having an unintended consequence of said activity does make one liable. But what about the baby's body? the baby has a right to its body as well. It is its own unique person with unique DNA.
Lol silly!….. Forced-birthers always think they defeat the abortion argument…. They just can’t defeat abortion itself… They were 63,000,000 in 50 years….. What were you so victorious about, again?…..
I can. The Geneva convention considers any “woman forced to get pregnant, stay pregnant, or give birth; to be a crime against humanity." So most people don't buy into his BS. He is pro slavery. see the evil that he is.
Imagen advocating for the goverment being able to force women to stay pregnant. What is this world coming to :/ and the fact is that all of them are trying to give fetuses SPECIAL rights that none else has. A born child doesnt have the right to use their mothers body how ever they want, a parent doesnt even need to give their vhild a kidney, even if it will lead to that childs death. Why should a fetus have special rights none else has?
This is the most profound and emotional description of abortion ( even hard to write). Visulize this- "A baby is in the safest most perfect place a human being can be-warm and pesceful in it's Mother. Than comes excruciating, prolonged pain and death!!" Quote is from the High Impact channel. There are scant few reasons that a civilized culture should support this. [P.S.( Lets stop using a "nice" word "abortion" and do what Democrats do, use a descriptive, emotional producing term in this case "baby killers"] a Savvy Simple Guy
Okay we'll use "baby killing" if you change "pro-life" to "pro-silencing-controlling-and-harming-women-without-actually-saving-any-lives-especially-those-of-born-children". Or if you prefer the much shorter "forced-birth".
But what if it was unwanted pregnancy in cases of being raped or something. And the mothers don't want to raise or even have the capability to raise the kids. Bringing a child into a world like that is even worse. And if abortion is banned completely, many people who want to abort but can't go through a proper facility may resort in extreme and unsafe methods. And there are many cases of mothers abandoning their newborn babies leaving them to death. So lt is inhumane to abort a fetus but it is humane to let them live in this life without the support they need?A child should have the life worthliving and be born a welcoming family. Im just saying banning abortion completely won't solve the problems but rather escalate it. Yes it is inhumane to do abortion even if it is a fetus. But we do have to consider the rights of the unborn deserving a worthwhile life and the mother as well. Instead of banning abortion completely. Why not focusing on sex ed, childcare and pregnancy rights to ensure when a pregnancy happens it is wanted and the unborn with welcomed into a welldeserving life
He doesn't care about that. they don't care about the life of a woman or pregnant teenagers, only fetus. In another video, he literally said that a woman should be forced to stay pregnant, no matter what, including rape and incest. Logic, bye-bye. Pro-LIFE they say.
Matt Walsh makes a bunch of fallacious arguments: - Its irrelevant whether the baby is a biological human, he is begging the question, the question is when do rights begin, not whether they are human. He is basing this argument under the assumption that all humans have rights, but this is obviously not true, as evidenced by the fact that dead humans don't have rights. Since the rights of a human end at death, therefore the rights of a human must have started at some point, the question is when. For anyone who says its the moment of conception, well the burden of proof is on you. To say its alive and a human is not enough. - Value is NEVER inherent, it is always subjective. There is no such thing as inherent value! Having said that though this is irrelevant to the question of whether a human has rights. I'm not sure why he brought this up, its completely pointless and a red herring. - Rights are based on self-ownership, it is an objective standard, he does not understand rights. So the burden of proof would be to show that a fetus has self-ownership, really hard to do since it has not or barely even developed a nervous system. - BTW, we DO recognise that some humans are no longer complete self-owning beings anymore, for example with mental illness, which is the reason why we put them in a care facility against their apparent will. You could wrongly say that they lost their right to liberty, but its more accurate to say that their liberty is no longer a self-owning expression. (this is a bit simplified due to me not wanting to right a book on this subject on a youtube comment) At the end of the day, a women owns her womb, its HER PROPERTY, she has the right to invite or dis-invite anyone from her property. Therefore she has the right to abort. Any other position is advocating for the enslavement of the women has a human incubator. END OFF! If you are pro-life, you are for slavery.
Connecting people wanting to save lives to slavery is the most bat shit insane stance you can take. But making ties to slavery, do you know the most dangerous place for a black child to be is in the womb? Yeah, the eradication of black Americans all for the idea of “her body, her choice”. What’s funny is that you think it’s a choice and not propagandized manipulation that makes you want to kill unborn children. Psychologically speaking, you’re insane for saying that a child in your womb is your property, you connect slavery to owning children yourself.
So if an abortion isn't killing a human then why if she is killed while pregnant does the killer get charged with double homicide? That's the sound of woke bubbles popping.
There are some things that need to be questioned, but things that are just right don’t need to be all it is a gateway to straight up anarchy and this is where we are heading along this road “The road to hell is paved with good intentions” - abbot Bernard of Clairvaux
I have a new friend who told me the other day about her pre-Roe abortion. She was 19, married, had a 9-month old, and told her doctor she wasn't having this baby. Her doctor said "I'm Catholic so I can't help you but I know someone who can." She had the abortion in the hospital with 4 other married women (they were in a ward together.) She added, she thanks God daily that she does not have that child and believes God is pleased with her. I'm still reeling. I confess, I also had an abortion, in 1979. I was the poster child for "abortion rights". Had the father wanted the baby. married me like he said he wanted to do (hmm) before the act that created the baby, the child would be...45 years old now. I...was stupid all round. The thing is, after I was married (to someone else) and had a baby, I also got pregnant again, but apparently miscarried. My body didn't get the memo, so it wasn't until 16 weeks that we finally determined there was no baby. That's when I understood what I'd done. Seeing my toddler, I was heartbroken at losing one (and yet it was like my body was doing everything it could to preserve and grow it,) and aghast that I'd thrown one away. And yet this woman, whom I really like--she's definitely challenging my thinking--threw hers away when she didn't even have to. She said her husband would have supported the child, supported her pregnancy. She just...didn't want it. People's hearts are HARD. (Mine too, in my way.) And our selfishness knows no bounds.
The main issue is that, while people are arguing that the child should be born, none of you care about the life that child will be born into. But will be quick to bash those living in poverty who continue to have kids and increasing the population thats living in poverty. People deserve to be able to decide what they want to do with their body, and frankly its not a strangers business 🤷🏾♂️
Yup. They care more about bringing a life into the world than the quality of life they'll have. It's well documented that the vast majority of unwanted children suffer greatly and are a net burden to society due to violence, not being able to keep a job, drug addiction, etc. Meanwhile, the forced-birthers distract from the fact the Republicans want to do away with minimum wage, abolish unions who will fight for fair pay, kill off the middle class while transfer the wealth to the ultra-rich, and ensure those without connections pop out as many cheap future labourers as possible (interfering with forced birth = imprisonment). Sounds like a dystopian/autocratic system trying to make cheap labour to the advantage of the very few to me.
The words spoken by Walsh in this video just went completely in one of your ears and out the other. Your point is a classic, pro-abort non-argument. The issue is not about the woman’s body but is about the body of the baby that she seeks to destroy. Mike drop!
@JayDubbya well there's the problem, you want to ignore the main part of this. "It's not about her body". Of course it is. Fact still remains, these women know their body better, their situation better, and what the childs environment will be better than any of you strangers, so to sit back and tell someone they have to do something that will likely be disastrous for them and the child, while doing less than nothing to help after the child is born, is crazy
@JayDubbya well yea, how much pain do you think a child aborted within the first month or 2 feels? I can show you TONS of cases where kids are tortured, assaulted, drugged, stuck in the system, etc
No one is "pro abortion". There are people who think women have the right to make health choices that affect themselves without the interference of the government. And, after all, Matt Walsh is free to carry to term any baby he may have. As is any woman who chooses to do so. No one can force them to abort against their wishes.
Thou Shalt Not Kill. How is it that grown woman are having sex without protection? I'm not talking about rape or incest victims. If you are an adult you have no excuse, us birth control or abstain from sexual activities!
@@delladillon8765 Thou shalt no kill apparently doesn't apply to the Christian god, because he arbitrarily kills about 30% of the fertilized eggs of human females.
@@delladillon8765 fairs, but there will always be situations where taking the precautions will not work (rare but not unheard of). I get that it is wrong to kill a human but I don't think that before something can deploy consciousness it seems a bit dishonest to call it a human or a person.
Actually, if you believe abortion is permissible, then you are for it, and therefore you are pro-abortion. If you are uncomfortable with the term, maybe it’s your conscience speaking.
I think it’s a massive misconception that the topic of abortion is a wrong doing. It is not demoralising, or inhumane, it’s simply the right to choose to continue on with the pregnancy or not depending on their present circumstances. These circumstances can be influenced by financial issues, health and medical conditions, age etc. The issue of abortion is, by most people, not taken lightly, and is proceeded after through thorough consideration. And the ignorance to this is quite reflective of the incapability of those against abortion to understand and empathise as well, with the party that is going through this matter. There are no hero’s or villains when it comes to these things, it’s just a grey area.
@@kingorange7739 what if your mother was raped tho? Would you want a half brother with a rapist of a father? Your mother was helpless and someone put a seed inside her, now she’s forced to give birth? I like how no one in the comment section mentions rape
@@JoshuaCurtin-gs6gb Because rape makes up so little of the abortion cases that to try to constantly mention it without covering majority cases first is blantant manipulation. But I’ll indulge you. Yes I and my mother for that matter (who is also pro life) would want to keep the baby. Because ultimately it’s not the baby’s fault for what happened and doing another crime against an innocent human being doesn’t right the previous one done to you. Should the rapist be castrated or killed? Yes. But ultimately the baby is also a victim like the mother
@@JoshuaCurtin-gs6gb Exactly! Also, no one mentioned that in Switzerland, when the fetus is conceived, they make a DNA test to determine whether they are going to have a healthy baby or not, and in the majority of cases, when tests show that a person will be born with a very bad illness they make abortion. Imagine saying this in the States?
Why is that his responsibility? If you are not prepared to take responsibility for having a child then take the necessary precautions to not have one. If someone has a child due to grape, there are many resources available for adoption and many families looking to adopt.
Someone tell me. Who is paying for these babies? We must show proof of funds and creditworthiness to get a house, car, credit card, phone and really anything. Why are we allowing people with no money or no desire to become parents? My kids will not suffer because their parents wanted them and had the means to support them.
How are you gonna decide for OTHER people when it’s the right time they should have a child . No one else can or should decide when it’s right to have a child except for the people involved
.... even worse. By belief and custom, unborn babies' status as human beings is determined by whether or not they're wanted, and that should be terrifying to all of us.
He didn't "end the argument" at all. He didn't even addressed the actual argument. Noone has said a fetus is not alive. By his own definition of "living states", even a spermatozoid is alive. I'm sure he has killed more than 60 million of those. And regarding the debate about the autonomy of a person, he didn't gave an answer either. This doesn't end absolutely anything.
The pro-life is flawed right from the start when they state that life begins at fertilization. Women's eggs become fertilized after the ejaculate reaches it. But not every fertilized eggs becomes a baby. Because under that logic, any woman who is sexually active and menstruating regularly is a serial killer
My understanding is simply this: Some people feel that infanticide is justifiable under any circumstance, and that the decision should be entirely up to the mother... and of course such individuals typically display the signs of a largely unconscious process of rationalizing as to why such a thing does not actually constitute infanticide, that the human life involved isn't really human, or some such manner of rationalization. In the distant past, there were definitely scenarios in which infanticide would have occurred as a matter of survival for an entire band or tribe, in the context of critical resource scarcity... though obviously, such conditions do not currently exist. In any case, the level of cognitive dissonances involved in rationalizations for infanticide that we have been witness to... they are deafening!
I am pro-choice. I have a question for those of you who are pro-life: Hypothetically let's suppose someone was brought to the ER because their kidneys exploded through no fault of their own. They need someone to donate one of their kidneys to keep them alive, and it just so happens that you are the only person who has the type of kidney they need (remember, this is a hypothetical thought experiment). Do you think the government would have a right to step in and FORCE you to give up your kidney to keep this person alive? If you say no, they don't have that right, then by what principle do you believe the government can use force to make a woman carry an unwanted pregnancy?
Pro-life person here. I agree, the government has no right to demand you give up your organs. I assume you are referring to Judith Jarvis Thomson's violinist argument. In it, Judith argues that because it is morally acceptable to unplug yourself from the violinist, it is ok to "unplug" yourself from the fetus. That reasoning would stand if the two examples were relevantly parallel, but they aren't. 1. Abortion and unplugging oneself are very different in nature, with the former being the intentional killing of a healthy human organism, and the latter being leaving someone in their original state, which so happens to be dying. 2. Organs are not meant for giving. That's why we each have our own set of them. We can, through commendable charity, give them to someone else, but in terms of anatomical design, they are meant for us, and us alone to use. The uterus is different though. It is meant to be inhabited. That's its fundamental function. 3. The violinist argument paints the relationship between a mother and her offspring as a stranger/stranger relationship when it is actually a mother/child relationship. Parents have a moral (and legal) obligation to their children, as seen by child support or child neglect laws. In the violinist argument, what if the violinist was instead your two year old daughter? 4. Sex is fundamentally ordered towards procreation. Heterosexual intercourse comes with the very real potential of pregnancy. When you consent to an action you simultaneously consent to all of the potential repercussions or side effects (ex. when you get in your car to buy groceries, you consent to the possibility of being in a fatal accident). Back to point 3, we have a moral obligation to our offspring. 5. If Judith Jarvis Thomson's argument of refusal was accepted, it would be well within a mother's right to refuse to breast feed her child (assuming she had no access to formula and breast feeding was the only option), thereby starving it. There's a lot more to be said on this topic, so feel free to ask! If you are open to it, I would recommend watching some of Trent Horn's abortion discussions or video by Emily Geiger at the Equal Rights Institute! Hope this helps.
A kidney is your body, not someone else’s. The baby conceived in a woman’s womb is not her body, it just needs her body to grow and survive. Abortion is the intentional destruction of human life and is wrong and displeasing to God.
This honestly made my brain lose cells 😂. If the woman doesn’t want to have a baby then why is she having unprotected sex knowing the consequences that could come with it. It’s her own fault so she should have to deal with it.
Thanks Matt for pointing out what should be so obvious to everyone (and yet is intentionally misrepresented and misconstrued) so some can try to convince themselves that it’s not an absolute atrocity to commit murder in the form of abortion, merely for the sake of not having to live with the consequences of their actions and take responsibility for the life they created. How many of these people that believe “blanket” abortions no matter the circumstance, are here themselves, simply because their own parents, whether they wanted to at first or not, made the conscious effort to care enough to bring them into the world? Thanks Matt for fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves…
So my Dad is an OB/GYN and I’ve had some discussions with him on abortion. He’s never done an abortion out of convenience. I’ve come to agree with him that an abortion is valid, if the health of the mother is truly at risk. I am a religious conservative and very much pro-life, except for the exception I’ve stated above. This is something I invite y’all to think on.
I’m pro life as well But if it’s not just the mother’s life and it’s not emergent? What then? I’m not talking about discomfort of course, but severe, chronic complications.. Something that effects quality of life or functionality? Some pregnancies can further complicate chronic health conditions..or reproductive conditions.. I ended up having to have a hysterectomy recently and at 30…because of this.. And that had it’s own complications.. I’m pro life, but it seems this exception really doesn’t consider women’s health..
@@robertalust5466 so you are fine with banning abortion for convenience then. Great. Welcome to the pro life side. You know as well as I do that almost all abortions are done for socioeconomic reasons, not medical reasons.
@@gopher7691not convenience Health vs possible death That’s the distinction I wanna talk about Not because of money or career or life interruption I’m talking like if a woman needs to be near death? Or can it be incredible pain or major symptoms that can’t be managed properly? And what are her resources and options if health is not acceptable as a reason? I know it’s not the common reason women seek abortions I’m talking about this one select instance… I’m zeroing in b/c I’ve struggled And women’s health aren’t really taken seriously unless you super advocate for yourself Even then…
If you really want to get rid of abortion, start advocating for policies that remove the reasons/causes why people abort their children instead of fighting a symptom. Advocate for policies that give people financial stability, easy access to birth control and education. All of these things are things you oppose because they're leftwing. So stop complaining.
No I won’t stop “complaining” about what amounts to murder because we don’t have endless government handouts at least not yet. We basically do already live in a welfare state so I’m not sure what else you’re looking for. Easy access to birth control? It couldn’t be cheaper or more available what planet do you live on ?
@@mattmac1271 Social programs and worker's rights in the US are an absolute joke. If you want less abortions, advocate for things which improve people's lives, like leftwing programs. Things which make people less likely to abort because they will be more likely to be able to afford children.
If you really want to stop infanticide, start advocating for policies that…. You can justify any horror by saying we can’t ban it until this or that policy is implemented. Abortion for convenience is murder. A civilized society must ban it even if it’s sex education policy isn’t to your liking
I like Walsh on most topic EXCEPT this one. His anti-abortion stance is based solely in his religious dogma. For the sake of argument, I will concede EVERY point (even though a lot of them are lies) in order to cut to the essence of the issue. A fetus is nothing but a parasite inside of a woman’s body UNTIL it is viable OUTSIDE of the body. A single woman should have sole rights to the disposition of that fetus up to a certain reasonable scientifically determined consensus point in that pregnancy. After a certain point, a married/partnered woman, after a scientifically determined point, should have to factor in the father’s wishes as well. Women will see this as a “take-over” of the body but we’re talking about a child and there are 2 contributors to that baby…without both, that baby doesn’t exist. Besides, a woman that believes in the 89 gender horseshit, your body has already been taken-over by man that wants to claim he’s now a woman rendering what it is to be a woman not very special anymore. People will gripe, “but that’s too complicated…blah, blah…”. It’s a potential baby…maybe it should be a little complicated BUT never to supersede the life, or have undue impact upon the “parents”. Religion should have no part of this equation.
@@mydogjesus How did that end anything? Everybody agrees that the fetus is a living human. However it doesn’t gain consciousness until around 20 weeks. That’s why I believe that abortions should be allowed up until that point of development.
@@professorcheckmate Yes it does. Before consciousness the fetus cant have a conscious experience, It has as much consciousness as a sperm cell or even a dead person, which is none.
Me, for example. I don't think I should give birth to an unwanted child. There are so many cases in Asia and in my country when newborns are killed by their mothers. Or left on the streets and die from hunger, beaten up to death. In Afghanistan, young girls are raped by the Taliban and forced to give birth to expand the group, and children are killed for illegal organ transplants because of lack of proper medical care and hygiene; women try to make an abortion from untrustful and unlicensed entities, or even to make it by themselves, and end up dying or severely injured after that. Abortion can be banned in the States, but I don't think it should be banned in my country. I don't think some population is ready to take responsibility for not getting pregnant in the first place.
If we give personhood to the fetus, then like anyone else they can not use their mothers body with out consent. Pregnancy is hard and should not be forced onto those who are not up to it, that's inhumane
@@NEPtune-fy1ug lol how the fuck is that strawman? That is the point of the argument. If it is human, abortion is wrong. It is not about choice, it is about if it is scientifically human.
ok...then that still doesn't give them the right to murder. A mother is a woman. If she doesn't want her child, then why didn't she just buy a pack of condoms at the store? Be smart. You simply don't have the right to murder babies...you are acting just like the nazis did with infants. They are not humans, according to us, so, therefore, it is okay to kill them. Your opinion shouldn't change morality.
@@califtom How did you like that vote in Ohio the other day?…. The forced-birthers were trying to make it harder to pass an abortion measure in November…. The voters rejected that!…. The measure will probably pass and ensure abortion rights in the Ohio Constitution!…. Looks like Matt Walsh didn’t end the debate after all….. This is a case of false advertising…..
@@hexl702too5 how’d you like that Dobbs ruling? I hope it made you livid. Baby killers won’t ever turn Ohio into the vile states of California or New York whether that upsets you or not.
The problem with your logic is that you assume a fetus is a baby or a child. But fetus is a pre-birth term and baby and child are post-birth terms. You can't equate them in your arguments. Otherwise I could equate a fetus with a senior citizen and claim that the fetus has not only a right to life but also a right to Social Security benefits. Why? Because a fetus will one day become a senior citizen. And there's no senior citizen who wasn't a fetus at one time.
If a person isn't created at conception, when does it become a person? At what point does your logic kick in to qualify as a life which deserves protection?
Lame. Our laws require that the person be of retirement age. It’s the same thing that keeps a teenager from collecting it. So is a teenager not human because the law prevents them from collecting social security?
How is it moral to force a female (and I say "female" because if I say "woman" I would be leaving out pregnant children) to remain pregnant when they don't want to be pregnant? How do you deal with the medical need for abortion? Say, in cases of ectopic pregnancies?
The way I've explained it to people is that the moment that sperm and egg meet that is no longer the mother's DNA and it is no longer the father's DNA. It is a unique and different individual and you do NOT have the right to dictate whether that individual lives or dies. For pregnancies that arise from normal/typical means (consensual sex) I'd say it's a case of "You knew the risks so act like an adult and deal with the consequences." For other cases such as nonconsensual I would still say the baby should live. It is NOT the child's fault what happened to the mother. The child should NEVER be punished for the crimes of the father. Ectopic pregnancies are a medical emergency that would endanger the mother's life and they are not comparable to normal pregnancies. On top of that, the baby would not survive 9 months growing in the fallopian tube. It's not made to house a growing baby. In such cases, the baby is doomed from the start either way. Untreated either the baby would die or the mother would die leading to the baby dying anyway.
I feel that it's the mothers choice on which she is physically and mentally ready to care for the child and that the mother should not be forced to carry the child because someone in the world thinks that abortion should be illegal no it's should be the mothers choice to do what feels right for her
Then maybe give up the baby for adoption? Or just try to be more responsible when it comes to having sex and using contraception. I became a mother at 19, I wanted to abort my baby. Then I saw her in an ultrasound and I realized she needs a chance at life. So I wanted to give her up for adoption but my parents forced me to have her basically. At the end of the day, I am glad as a woman, I took accountability and I became a mother. I can’t imagine life without my little sidekick. Sometimes, becoming mothers can better oneself and just who we need to move forward with our lives.
@@soulserenade.kcn1992 How disgustingly selfish and short sighted of you to assume that every woman in the world is in the same situation as you. fuck off.
I feel that it's the mother's choice if she is physically & mentally able to care for her 2 month old infant and 3 year old toddler. She shouldn't be forced to care for her children by giving them food and shelter just because someone thinks that neglecting them or killing them should be illegal. It should be her choice to do what feels right to her.
@@eviedp1 you use the word 'feel' twice. Should we as human beings just do whatever 'feels' right? Is there no objective right or wrong? Should I be allowed to walk into a school and shoot people because I 'feel' like it? Feelings come and go. I sympathise with mothers who become pregnant and are facing difficulties but there is practical help and moral support out there for them. Or adoption is an option. Is abortion really the best we can offer women?
If she knows that she isn’t mentally and physically capable to take care of a child then why would she have unprotected sex? If she’s responsible enough to do that then she obviously knows the consequences of it so she can deal with it.
The overwhelming majority of abortions aren't done for medical emergencies. That's because it's not a medical necessity in pregnancy related medical emergencies. The vast majority of abortions are not done to save the lives of mothers but to kill unborn children. That's just a fact.
At it's earliest stage, what may develop into a full baby is only a single cell. Nothing more, nothing less. And somewhere along the way is that shift from barely an inconvenience to murder. Early on, the developing cells are no more alive than a tree. Would you call killing a tree murder? Would you mourn it? Hold a funeral for it?
The preborn baby develops extremely rapidly. By the time a woman typically finds out she's pregnant, the baby is already well on its way to being visually recognizable as such. And is quite alive. Why do you worship convenience?
@@axelfirestorm2080 Even still, it is not fully human. Also, why would I worship convenience? I am not religious, I don't worship anything. On the contrary, I think that religion often stands in the way of a nuanced perspective.
@@lucad9667 Worship as in you make it more important than anything else. And yes, an unborn baby IS fully human. His or her DNA isn't anything BUT human. I can still remember seeing my older son's first ultrasound with his mom. He was small but definitely looked like a baby, even at only 8 weeks or so. He was rolling around and everything. Now he's almost 18 and a happy young man.
@@axelfirestorm2080 Great for him, but that's just one example. There are plenty of others where abortion should be an acceptable solution. Recklessly sleeping without protection all the way up to rape, there are plenty of reasons, and it is no ones business but the mother's what to do in that situation.
If that is true, are we saying that accidental miscarriages are also man slaughter? Why should a woman being raped not have the right to not be a mother is she doesn't want to? Why do we want to give birth to all accidental pregnancies as well? The family structure all around the world is already broken. Millions of children have no one to take care of them. Why do we want to creat more broken families? Matt always makes it a point to define terms. What is a woman? Right? An adult female human. What is a human? A person who can cry, sleep, laugh and see the light outside the world, with a pair of lungs, 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 legs, a nose etc etc. The population of the world is already 7 billion. And a vast proportion of them are struggling. We really do not need to bring in even more people if their parents themselves are not able to take care of them. The 3 months in which an abortion is allowed is actually to make a decision whether the particular being can be allowed to become a human and see the outer world. And that decision needs to be the parents' decision and the family's. Not the government's.. and not Matt's as well.
Any pro-lifer who is opposed to artificial wombs must admit that their opposition to abortion is not about saving babies but on controlling bodies. Some women do not want to be pregnant. Artificial wombs are an alternative to abortion.
The nervous system & brain are not even developed yet. So there is no pain or the fetus doesn’t even know what happening. Thus abortion is humane. Plus it’s a woman right, government does not have the right to tell you what to do with your own body.
So pain is the line where you draw the line at abortion. Guess I can shoot someone in the head while they are sleeping. No pain, no murder. And you're right about the other th8ing. The government can't tell you what to do with your own body, except if you want to use your body to kill another body. Guess it just depends on what you think is a "body."

@@bwp714 What do you mean "racist"? I didn't see anything racist on this thread.
Abortion is about equality between men and women. A man and a woman engage in the same act however only the woman has to spend the next 9 months having her body ripped apart. Where is the equality in that? The only way I will become anti choice is if we pass a law that says if a man impregnates a woman he has to spend the next 9 months in a jail cell preferably with a rapist. Because in order to maintain equality a man has to have his body ripped apart like a woman after having sex. Abortion is about giving woman a choice to not go through 9 months of suffering just like a man does not have to go through it. Abortion is horrible yes, but in our male dominated, "boys will be boys" world that we live in, it is a necessary evil.
I would like to mention something related to the last part discussed in this video. The thing about personhood. I feel that the argument that a baby is not an independent person should be considered valid and sufficient for settling the pro-abortion cause. I accept that a foetus is a living thing. Rather i accept it as a member of the human species and being alive.
Now to support my argument for abortion, i feel that a foetus in no way or form contributes to the society, and humans living in that society. Rather it acts like a parasite just feeding off of the society(through the uterus in which it is living, as his mother is consuming the resources from the society.). One might say that some old people or people with disabilities might also require assistance, but these people are actually worthy of assistance as they have already interacted with the society or have contributed to it in some sort of way, and even if they are not contributing at that particular moment, they have gathered resources like money or friends, and they use such resources to defend themselves or to tackle their problems. In the case of a foetus, the mother is forced to supply resources to it (without getting anything in exchange), whereas in the case of aged and disabled people nobody has an obligation to take care of them. Let's say if they don't have enough money, the maid might stop working for them, or if they don't have any friends they might have to do all of their work on their own. If they don't have money to pay for the hospital bills, the hospital has a right to stop caring for them. Essentially, if someone is being cared for there is some sort of exchange of resources in this case.
Even a newborn baby creates some sort of exchange in the real world that a foetus in the womb cannot. So caring for a newborn baby, at least has some sort of logic, but asking someone to care for a foetus against their will sounds absurd, as the person caring for it literally has nothing to gain.(I am not talking about the people who willingly want to have the baby and definitely see the current womb investment of nine months to be paid off in the form of love, affection, and even monetary support few years down the line.)
These are clear thinking, responsible individuals. They will never give up their fight for the right to ghoulish birth control after irresponsible sexual activity.
Nobody is telling the stories of countless women who have committed suicide or cry every year at the anniversary of the day they committed abortion and killed their child...and the heartache and suffering that goes on from the mother who has to live with what she has done...you never hear those true stories talked about much do you?
At least she did it out of her own choice. Busy Phillips said having an abortion at 15 was the best decision she ever made. He talks about inherent value. Would he pay $300 per week in child support for each baby? If not, I guess people don't have value
How confident are you that this is a good argument?
@@bjhcvuaerpigfy in one word extremely. Another person responded to my post with one word: exactly. Right there you are outvoted 2-1, which is consistent with nationwide polls that indicate 65 percent of Americans are not opposed to abortion in the first trimester, which doesn't make sense either way if life begins at conception or if Rights begin at birth. Let me put it to you this way. I don't think my wife is able to get pregnant again, but if she did, she can't work and she can't collect disability because I make too much, but I only make enough to support me, her and our first daughter. If I asked you to pay me $300 per week in child support for the next 18 years. If you don't want to, we will have to abort. What's your decision?

I never understood the argument that an abortion should be permitted due to the fact that it is dependent on the mother for life. A newborn baby is also completely dependent on its mother for survival. Yes, we've circumvented that a little, developing infant formulas and such, but still the baby is now dependent on a "mother substitute".
Think about premature babies. For one thing- If it's not ok to kill the 8 months developed baby outside of the womb, why then should it be ok when that baby is still in the womb? Additionally, many premature babies are dependent on medical technology,such as incubators, to survive. Should we be permitted to kill those babies just because they are not capable of survival without a "host"?
Their argument is then that outside of the womb anybody can take care of the baby. Anybody can provide care for it but inside the womb it's only the mother and if she doesn't want it it's forced upon her.
@@bella3636 Yes, but a mother is inherently responsible for her child, regardless of her desires, the same way a court can order the father of that child to pay child support, regardless of what the father wants. It is inherently the father's moral duty to do so, just as it is the mother's duty to at least bear the child. Fortunately, in this day and age a mother can choose to give her child up for adoption as soon as it's born to a loving home who will care for her child, raising it as their own. I say fortunately because I was a child who was given up for adoption rather than being murdered in the womb.
"It's funny how everyone who supports abortion has been born"-Ronald Reagan.
That’s how slavery was justified, Blacks were not considered a person/human they said because they were not a full human; there for they could be slaves.
Absolutely every argument that was ever made to justify slavery can be used to justify abortion just by replacing "slavery" with "abortion", and "slave" with "fetus".
How can you compare a living person to a zygote? You are saying that Black people are equivalent to fetuses and zygotes. That's like saying dogs are the same as cows and should be treated as such. They are not equivalent and will be treated differently.
@@maddiecakes145 They're all human, so why not?
Also, I never mentioned black people. I compared arguments for abortion to arguments for slavery, and you're trying to pivot from that by implying racism despite the fact that most slaves historically weren't black. The word "slave" itself derives from "Slav", as in the white Slavs who were traded as slaves mostly by Arabs. You brought black people up, so isn't it you who is comparing them specifically?
You call the unborn "zygotes" as a cope to get away from acknowledging the unborn as human beings, despite the fact that they have heartbeats, brainwaves and the ability to feel pain by the end of the 6th week of pregnancy.
Regardless, if you want to decide that "zygotes" don't have the same inherent human value due to developmental phase then why does that only apply to the unborn? Human development doesn't stop at birth and continues until about the age of 25, so why don't we grade a person's human value by how old they are when outside the womb?
Furthermore, grading human value by development doesn't comport with abortion norms anyway, because a 20-week premie in the NICU supposedly has more human value that a full-term 40 week baby about to be born in five minutes.
This is why the arguments for abortion are not only based on completely arbitrary reasoning, but are an insidious depravity of human rights akin to arguments for slavery, and as I said, the former can be turned into the latter just by switching out a word or two, and that says it all.

Abortion is not about a woman controlling her body; it’s (about) controlling another body.
No one gives a damn about adult women controlling their body. You want to get a breast implant, get a breast implant. You want a facelift, get a facelift. - Dennis Prager

Also, abortion can be a medical procedure, but it is, usually, NOT healthcare.
It amazes me that "people" who were once in the womb, say that babies in the womb aren't real! Then "people", explain your existence and how you got here....
Exactly!
@liddletoes definitely didn't begin in a woman's womb. You say "the womb" almost as if it didn't belong to someone. But there definitely is a process before anything grows in someone's womb. If boys didn't waist there sperms on the side of their beds and faces and different places and jarred it.... each and every sperm is the beginnins of human beings. perhaps the Republicans will pass an illegal ejaculations bill ..on capital hill... ? No one sperm should be more important than another.... using a rubber is murder... sperms just suffocate in between extra thin latex and penis...
@liddletoes... so we definitely all started out as sperm, correct? And sperm can be preserved and artificially inseminated to develop in someone's womb or or a womb... im sure it doesnt matter to a baby what or whos womb they get the privilege of borrowing. they just know they have a right to a womb...

I was pro-choice at one point. It's all about perspective, and I was focusing more on the life of a woman over the life inside of her. However, I did still struggle internally with the idea of killing for the benefit of another person. I think it was Stephen Crowder's "I'm Pro-Life: Change My Mind" segment on abortion that changed my mind. I am pro-life.
I was also pro-choice. Perspective really is everything. To me it was easy to emphasize with the women who were poor or young, or whatever stereotype I had for women who got abortions. My friend shattered this for me. She was a mid 20's comfortably employed, educated woman, she wanted children, she had stability and means, she just didn't have a boyfriend because she got pregnant from a one night stand. She killed her baby for her dating prospects because she figured being a single mom wouldn't be good for landing a husband. It felt so selfish to me, I just started questioning everything. I finally was able to see the other side.
Hopefully she still have her job and house cause the second any self respecting man finds out she killed her baby because she thought that it wouldn't help her get a husband they will call her out on BS and if she refuses to accept that she did something wrong leave her

The reason why a baby needs to stay in the mothers body for 9 months, is for protection. Although in the west, in progressive society, it's the most dangerous place to be. If it wasin't so vulnerable, then it wouldint need to stay in the womb so long, so the 9 months is immaterial when your deciding if its human. Its human from conception.
I believe a little over halfway through the pregnancy the fetus has a higher than 50% chance of survival if removed from the womb... but I could be wrong its been so long since Ive debated abortion

The argument that ultimately changed my mind is this. "If you do nothing, the fetus will become a person." I can't articulate why that simple sentence had such an impact on me. But it rolls around in my head all the time now.
Trevor Sampson I’m glad it had an impact on you, but I would make one correction. The fetus is already a person. Otherwise you have to answer the question of exactly when the fetus becomes a person and why. Inevitably, as Walsh says in this video, you would have to come to the conclusion that some people outside the womb aren’t actually people either.
"Homo est et qui est futurus" - irenaeus. Roughly translates to 'who is to be a human being, is a human being!' The quote continues, [for the whole fruit is already present in the seed]. It is an interesting argument that has been used for almost 2 millennia.
Abortion is about equality between men and women. A man and a woman engage in the same act however only the woman has to spend the next 9 months having her body ripped apart. Where is the equality in that? The only way I will become anti choice is if we pass a law that says if a man impregnates a woman he has to spend the next 9 months in a jail cell preferably with a rapist. Because in order to maintain equality a man has to have his body ripped apart like a woman after having sex. Abortion is about giving woman a choice to not go through 9 months of suffering just like a man does not have to go through it. Abortion is horrible yes, but in our male dominated, "boys will be boys" world that we live in, it is a necessary evil.

DOMINICUS ROMULUS if the mom can’t raise the child, there’s adoption. Abortion is NEVER morally preferable to adoption.
Also, this idea of the unborn fetus threatening the life of the mother; with the medicine and hospital facilities we have today; this issue is now virtually non-existent. It just doesn’t happen. But in the 0.000001% chance it ever did, then yes, abortion could be permissible. Of course, the focus remains on saving lives (pro-life) because the intent of it is to save the mother’s life. The intent is not to get rid of an unwanted baby.

A) If the mother cannot care for the child, the mother *should not be having a child.* I know the argument for "but muh contraception isnt 100% safe" is a common one, the simple solution is funnily enough..simple. Don't get your fuck on if you aren't willing to accept the 0.001% chance that you may become a parent.
B) If the mothers life is greatly at risk, and it is a choice between the unborn child and the mother, then I can understand the argument for choosing to save the mother.
My point isn't that, if you're a rape victim then you're on your own. I understand that there are severe cases. But people need to understand that these severe cases are, not exactly a majority. Just off the top of my head, 1% of women get an abortion due to rape, and in the case of incest it's less than 0.5% (I may be incorrect).
In these dire situations, while I dont condone abortion and feel adoption may be better, I'm not going to hold these women accountable because let's face it... that must be terrifying to go through.
Me and my boyfriend want to have kids but are waiting till we can support them and are married. Also we haven't had sex which is easy considering he's in Ireland at the moment.
Also we want to adopt so anyone who gets pregnant and doesn't know what to do please consider your other options

Question? If a woman can murder her son/daughter in the womb or now outside the womb, then when that child grows up to be a druggie or a kid who actually has its mother afraid for their life (happens in hundreds of thousands of homes), why is it illegal for that woman to kill their own kid ? Stupid Question? Of course it is but so is murdering a baby because she couldn’t control herself! Rape and Incest is like 1 percent of an argument!
Matt Walsh speaking facts.
Nope men can have a say when there is more contraceptive options for them. It’s women who are constantly messing with their hormones and it’s her body. That fetus is in her womb affecting her life and as long as it’s is legal to abort that fetus will not be a baby until she wants it. Ever heard the saying “some people don’t deserve to be parents”? Well some people understand that and don’t want to have children. Contraceptive is a woman’s responsibility and the fetus is hers and she can abort or let it live that’s her choice.
More contraptions? You are seriously going to tell me that the condom, birth control, and plan b pills aren’t good enough for you? 😂
@@kingorange7739 is a husband of 10 years going to use a condom? Women are the ones messing with their hormones especially in longterm committed relationships from the rod, pills, injections both from syringes and things you shove up there. Men only have vasectomy, condoms and pulling out. Women should be able to abort especially when women are the ones mostly responsible for contraception in the relationship.
It's not like the fetus got in her womb out of nowhere. It's most of the time a result of her decisions.

*I like to use the word “organism” when arguing with a pro-abortion individual. Since the left utilizes, only when advancing their argument of course, the lenses of science to view a topic, then surely they understand the life cycle of an ‘organism’. The entire pro-abortion stance and argument is one big hypocritical word salad, it makes no sense. This guy hit it on the head perfectly. Well done!*
I've come across several "biologists" who claim that any living cell(including somatic cells such as skin or hair cells) are organisms, rendering the word meaningless .
How has using the word organism benefited you at all when talking to a prochoice person? If at all 🤔🙂
Abortion is about equality between men and women. A man and a woman engage in the same act however only the woman has to spend the next 9 months having her body ripped apart. Where is the equality in that? The only way I will become anti choice is if we pass a law that says if a man impregnates a woman he has to spend the next 9 months in a jail cell preferably with a rapist. Because in order to maintain equality a man has to have his body ripped apart like a woman after having sex. Abortion is about giving woman a choice to not go through 9 months of suffering just like a man does not have to go through it. Abortion is horrible yes, but in our male dominated, "boys will be boys" world that we live in, it is a necessary evil.
@@Boaz833 Acknowledging Abortion is evil/horrible and then calling it necessary is insane. You've essentially conceded that an unborn child is a human life, and even so you still would call it necessary, especially when it occurs (assuming Matt Walsh's number is correct) in 60 million different cases.
@@yee9574 I concede that an unborn child is a human life. But I also concede that evil is sometimes necessary. Just look at war. It is the most evil and terrible of things and yet it is continuous throughout our history. Innocent people are always being killed by soldiers does that mean that the soldier is a monster? You might make the argument well at least it's not a deliberate killing of an innocent person however we know that innocent people always die in war and yet we always have wars. Why? Because it is a necessary horror in our human condition. As an example the Civil War was fought for equality among the races. Would you argue that the cost of human life was too great and that keeping slavery legal was a better alternative to allowing hundreds of thousands of Americans to be killed? Of course not, because when it comes to equality and justice there is no price too high to pay. And in the same way abortion is a necessary horror as it is a battle for equality between the genders. If you truly want to end abortion and keep things equal between the genders I would suggest you pass a law that says if a man takes it out of his pants without being 100% ready for the responsibility of being a parent then his penis will be surgically removed. That would end most abortions because it would end unplanned pregnancies.
The Abortion debate is not new. Philosophers, medical professionals, legal fraternity, religious leaders have been going at it for more than 1000 years. No amount of arguments will settle this soon so that everyone is satisfied with the decisions. In the meantime we will all have to settle for a middle ground. The words embryo, foetus, baby exist for the OBVIOUS reasons that they are different things. The definitions are long-standing. Whether you, anyone else or any group agrees /disagrees is irrelevant. Pregnancy happens to a Sovereign human being and nobody has the right to tell/force that human to either carry a foetus to term and give birth to it OR enforce abortion.What should be urgently reviewed and legally addressed are these - Using abortion as a substitute for contraception and /moral and responsible behavior - BAN late - term abortions. LIMIT the amount of "abortions on request" per person {will make them think twice?} to eg 1 max. - NO FREE abortions-make them Pay in the hope that they will adjust their behavior. To have limitless abortions on request is insanity, even if politicians are promising this, for multiple GOOD reasons. Abortion is an invasive, traumatic, surgical procedure with potentially life-altering and lethal outcomes. 🤔❤️🌍

A fetus isn’t conscious, when a person is deemed brain dead in the hospital (ie. unconscious) we often pull the machines keeping them alive.
You can pick any number of reasons to devalue another. “A fetus isn’t conscience so we should be able to kill it”. You’re not conscience when you’re asleep, so I guess we should be able to kill sleeping people too! The illogical of pro-aborts knows no bounds!

Given that there are significant opposing positions on abortion, it is too bad we couldn't come to a reasonable comprise. Oh, wait - we already did that with viability. The GOP needs to learn that they can't have everything their own way. Fighting over settled law only impedes the common goal of reducing unwanted pregnancy. The over-reach is going to backfire.
@@LogicAndReason2025 by “we” you mean 7 justices on the Supreme Court in 1973. According to the sciences of embryology and genetics a new human being is formed at conception.
State legislatures will now regulate abortion, not SCOTUS which has no authority to do so. Sadly benighted states like New York will allow pregnant women to slaughter the unborn human beings in their wombs right up until birth.
The issue isn't about whether the fetus is or isn't a person. The issue is that our society is sick. The poor and lower members of the socio-economic system suffer much more by "unwanted" pregnancy. As a progressive society, we need to make sure women are safe and taken care of. Currently, they are not.
That is something that can be changed. But it won’t change if it just keeps being used as an excuse to kill the unborn
Do other humans have right to use woman's body without her consent? If the answer is no, then fetus also doesn't have that right.
@@goranmilic442 However, the woman partook in the creation of that other human. If you and your son were playing baseball in the yard and accidentally smashed their neighbor's window, the neighbor would want you to pay. But you say that you weren't meaning to smash their window. But that's the assumed responsibility of the parent playing baseball with his or her kid, same with sex. You may not have meant to get pregnant, but that's the assumed responsibility the couple takes by partaking in it.
@@litterill First of all, if woman was raped, then she didn't partake in anything, did she? So your argument still allows raped women to abort. Next, in your baseball example, you are forgetting that responsibility comes from contracts or crimes or damages. Having sex is neither of those, so it's invalid to compare damaging someone's window and having sex. Woman doesn't lose right to control her body, just because she had sex.
@@goranmilic442 We both agree rape is a horrible atrocious that should happen to no one, however, it accounts for about 1% of abortions that occur. Abortion doesn't solve the pain that the rape did- locking up the man who did and receiving compassionate love and counseling does. During a rape, there are 1 guilty and 2 innocents- the guilty being the man who did it and the innocents being the woman and the baby. Adding more violence to the baby doesn't help anyone. In fact, there are stories of women who have been raped and contemplated suicide, but upon learning they were pregnant gave them a reason to live. I am in no way saying that the rape was a good thing, but just sharing another side of the story. I'm a bit confused about what you meant that responsibility comes from contracts or crimes or damages, could you explain it more please? Partaking in a recreational activity one enjoys but having an unintended consequence of said activity does make one liable. But what about the baby's body? the baby has a right to its body as well. It is its own unique person with unique DNA.

There was no argument, it was just arguments from emotion
Imagen advocating for the goverment being able to force women to stay pregnant. What is this world coming to :/ and the fact is that all of them are trying to give fetuses SPECIAL rights that none else has. A born child doesnt have the right to use their mothers body how ever they want, a parent doesnt even need to give their vhild a kidney, even if it will lead to that childs death. Why should a fetus have special rights none else has?
This is the most profound and emotional description of abortion ( even hard to write). Visulize this- "A baby is in the safest most perfect place a human being can be-warm and pesceful in it's Mother. Than comes excruciating, prolonged pain and death!!"

But what if it was unwanted pregnancy in cases of being raped or something. And the mothers don't want to raise or even have the capability to raise the kids. Bringing a child into a world like that is even worse. And if abortion is banned completely, many people who want to abort but can't go through a proper facility may resort in extreme and unsafe methods. And there are many cases of mothers abandoning their newborn babies leaving them to death. So lt is inhumane to abort a fetus but it is humane to let them live in this life without the support they need?A child should have the life worthliving and be born a welcoming family. Im just saying banning abortion completely won't solve the problems but rather escalate it. Yes it is inhumane to do abortion even if it is a fetus. But we do have to consider the rights of the unborn deserving a worthwhile life and the mother as well. Instead of banning abortion completely. Why not focusing on sex ed, childcare and pregnancy rights to ensure when a pregnancy happens it is wanted and the unborn with welcomed into a welldeserving life
He doesn't care about that. they don't care about the life of a woman or pregnant teenagers, only fetus. In another video, he literally said that a woman should be forced to stay pregnant, no matter what, including rape and incest. Logic, bye-bye. Pro-LIFE they say.
Matt Walsh makes a bunch of fallacious arguments:
- Its irrelevant whether the baby is a biological human, he is begging the question, the question is when do rights begin, not whether they are human. He is basing this argument under the assumption that all humans have rights, but this is obviously not true, as evidenced by the fact that dead humans don't have rights. Since the rights of a human end at death, therefore the rights of a human must have started at some point, the question is when. For anyone who says its the moment of conception, well the burden of proof is on you. To say its alive and a human is not enough.
- Value is NEVER inherent, it is always subjective. There is no such thing as inherent value! Having said that though this is irrelevant to the question of whether a human has rights. I'm not sure why he brought this up, its completely pointless and a red herring.
- Rights are based on self-ownership, it is an objective standard, he does not understand rights. So the burden of proof would be to show that a fetus has self-ownership, really hard to do since it has not or barely even developed a nervous system.
- BTW, we DO recognise that some humans are no longer complete self-owning beings anymore, for example with mental illness, which is the reason why we put them in a care facility against their apparent will. You could wrongly say that they lost their right to liberty, but its more accurate to say that their liberty is no longer a self-owning expression. (this is a bit simplified due to me not wanting to right a book on this subject on a youtube comment)
At the end of the day, a women owns her womb, its HER PROPERTY, she has the right to invite or dis-invite anyone from her property. Therefore she has the right to abort. Any other position is advocating for the enslavement of the women has a human incubator. END OFF! If you are pro-life, you are for slavery.
Connecting people wanting to save lives to slavery is the most bat shit insane stance you can take. But making ties to slavery, do you know the most dangerous place for a black child to be is in the womb? Yeah, the eradication of black Americans all for the idea of “her body, her choice”. What’s funny is that you think it’s a choice and not propagandized manipulation that makes you want to kill unborn children. Psychologically speaking, you’re insane for saying that a child in your womb is your property, you connect slavery to owning children yourself.
Sorry! 😕The argument is NOT settled once and for all.
Well it should be then. DNA has demonstrated that it's a separate person
I'm all alone now and wish I had kids.
Be smart.
So if an abortion isn't killing a human then why if she is killed while pregnant does the killer get charged with double homicide? That's the sound of woke bubbles popping.

Ask the law makers. Got nothing to do with the argument itself.
I have a new friend who told me the other day about her pre-Roe abortion. She was 19, married, had a 9-month old, and told her doctor she wasn't having this baby. Her doctor said "I'm Catholic so I can't help you but I know someone who can." She had the abortion in the hospital with 4 other married women (they were in a ward together.) She added, she thanks God daily that she does not have that child and believes God is pleased with her.
I'm still reeling.
I confess, I also had an abortion, in 1979. I was the poster child for "abortion rights". Had the father wanted the baby. married me like he said he wanted to do (hmm) before the act that created the baby, the child would be...45 years old now. I...was stupid all round.
The thing is, after I was married (to someone else) and had a baby, I also got pregnant again, but apparently miscarried. My body didn't get the memo, so it wasn't until 16 weeks that we finally determined there was no baby. That's when I understood what I'd done. Seeing my toddler, I was heartbroken at losing one (and yet it was like my body was doing everything it could to preserve and grow it,) and aghast that I'd thrown one away.
And yet this woman, whom I really like--she's definitely challenging my thinking--threw hers away when she didn't even have to. She said her husband would have supported the child, supported her pregnancy. She just...didn't want it.
People's hearts are HARD. (Mine too, in my way.) And our selfishness knows no bounds.
The main issue is that, while people are arguing that the child should be born, none of you care about the life that child will be born into. But will be quick to bash those living in poverty who continue to have kids and increasing the population thats living in poverty.
People deserve to be able to decide what they want to do with their body, and frankly its not a strangers business 🤷🏾♂️
Yup. They care more about bringing a life into the world than the quality of life they'll have. It's well documented that the vast majority of unwanted children suffer greatly and are a net burden to society due to violence, not being able to keep a job, drug addiction, etc.
Meanwhile, the forced-birthers distract from the fact the Republicans want to do away with minimum wage, abolish unions who will fight for fair pay, kill off the middle class while transfer the wealth to the ultra-rich, and ensure those without connections pop out as many cheap future labourers as possible (interfering with forced birth = imprisonment). Sounds like a dystopian/autocratic system trying to make cheap labour to the advantage of the very few to me.
The words spoken by Walsh in this video just went completely in one of your ears and out the other. Your point is a classic, pro-abort non-argument. The issue is not about the woman’s body but is about the body of the baby that she seeks to destroy. Mike drop!
@JayDubbya well there's the problem, you want to ignore the main part of this. "It's not about her body". Of course it is. Fact still remains, these women know their body better, their situation better, and what the childs environment will be better than any of you strangers, so to sit back and tell someone they have to do something that will likely be disastrous for them and the child, while doing less than nothing to help after the child is born, is crazy
@@earlparker5087 “disastrous for the child”?! Worse than aborting them you think?

No one is "pro abortion". There are people who think women have the right to make health choices that affect themselves without the interference of the government.

@@ricksmith2134 Sorry, but that's just standing logic on its head. If one was "pro abortion" one would be trying to get enforced abortions into law.
He didn't. Life begins at conception but rights begin at birth, hence the name birthrights not conception rights
How confident are you that this is a good argument?
Science doesn't give a definition of life. Life is a philosophical definition, science cannot give prescriptive statements, only descriptive ones.
I think it’s a massive misconception that the topic of abortion is a wrong doing. It is not demoralising, or inhumane, it’s simply the right to choose to continue on with the pregnancy or not depending on their present circumstances. These circumstances can be influenced by financial issues, health and medical conditions, age etc. The issue of abortion is, by most people, not taken lightly, and is proceeded after through thorough consideration. And the ignorance to this is quite reflective of the incapability of those against abortion to understand and empathise as well, with the party that is going through this matter. There are no hero’s or villains when it comes to these things, it’s just a grey area.

The pro-life is flawed right from the start when they state that life begins at fertilization. Women's eggs become fertilized after the ejaculate reaches it.

My understanding is simply this: Some people feel that infanticide is justifiable under any circumstance, and that the decision should be entirely up to the mother... and of course such individuals typically display the signs of a largely unconscious process of rationalizing as to why such a thing does not actually constitute infanticide, that the human life involved isn't really human, or some such manner of rationalization. In the distant past, there were definitely scenarios in which infanticide would have occurred as a matter of survival for an entire band or tribe, in the context of critical resource scarcity... though obviously, such conditions do not currently exist. In any case, the level of cognitive dissonances involved in rationalizations for infanticide that we have been witness to... they are deafening!
I am pro-choice. I have a question for those of you who are pro-life:
Hypothetically let's suppose someone was brought to the ER because their kidneys exploded through no fault of their own. They need someone to donate one of their kidneys to keep them alive, and it just so happens that you are the only person who has the type of kidney they need (remember, this is a hypothetical thought experiment). Do you think the government would have a right to step in and FORCE you to give up your kidney to keep this person alive? If you say no, they don't have that right, then by what principle do you believe the government can use force to make a woman carry an unwanted pregnancy?
Pro-life person here. I agree, the government has no right to demand you give up your organs. I assume you are referring to Judith Jarvis Thomson's violinist argument. In it, Judith argues that because it is morally acceptable to unplug yourself from the violinist, it is ok to "unplug" yourself from the fetus. That reasoning would stand if the two examples were relevantly parallel, but they aren't.
1. Abortion and unplugging oneself are very different in nature, with the former being the intentional killing of a healthy human organism, and the latter being leaving someone in their original state, which so happens to be dying.
2. Organs are not meant for giving. That's why we each have our own set of them. We can, through commendable charity, give them to someone else, but in terms of anatomical design, they are meant for us, and us alone to use. The uterus is different though. It is meant to be inhabited. That's its fundamental function.
3. The violinist argument paints the relationship between a mother and her offspring as a stranger/stranger relationship when it is actually a mother/child relationship. Parents have a moral (and legal) obligation to their children, as seen by child support or child neglect laws. In the violinist argument, what if the violinist was instead your two year old daughter?
4. Sex is fundamentally ordered towards procreation. Heterosexual intercourse comes with the very real potential of pregnancy. When you consent to an action you simultaneously consent to all of the potential repercussions or side effects (ex. when you get in your car to buy groceries, you consent to the possibility of being in a fatal accident). Back to point 3, we have a moral obligation to our offspring.
5. If Judith Jarvis Thomson's argument of refusal was accepted, it would be well within a mother's right to refuse to breast feed her child (assuming she had no access to formula and breast feeding was the only option), thereby starving it.
There's a lot more to be said on this topic, so feel free to ask! If you are open to it, I would recommend watching some of Trent Horn's abortion discussions or video by Emily Geiger at the Equal Rights Institute! Hope this helps.
A kidney is your body, not someone else’s. The baby conceived in a woman’s womb is not her body, it just needs her body to grow and survive. Abortion is the intentional destruction of human life and is wrong and displeasing to God.
This honestly made my brain lose cells 😂. If the woman doesn’t want to have a baby then why is she having unprotected sex knowing the consequences that could come with it. It’s her own fault so she should have to deal with it.
Stupidest argument I have EVER heard. But I appreciate the effort mate
Completely different topic. What are you on about.
I agree, he is right
Thanks Matt for pointing out what should be so obvious to everyone (and yet is intentionally misrepresented and misconstrued) so some can try to convince themselves that it’s not an absolute atrocity to commit murder in the form of abortion, merely for the sake of not having to live with the consequences of their actions and take responsibility for the life they created. How many of these people that believe “blanket” abortions no matter the circumstance, are here themselves, simply because their own parents, whether they wanted to at first or not, made the conscious effort to care enough to bring them into the world? Thanks Matt for fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves…
So my Dad is an OB/GYN and I’ve had some discussions with him on abortion. He’s never done an abortion out of convenience. I’ve come to agree with him that an abortion is valid, if the health of the mother is truly at risk. I am a religious conservative and very much pro-life, except for the exception I’ve stated above. This is something I invite y’all to think on.
I’m pro life as well
But if it’s not just the mother’s life and it’s not emergent?
What then?
I’m not talking about discomfort of course, but severe, chronic complications..
Something that effects quality of life or functionality?
Some pregnancies can further complicate chronic health conditions..or reproductive conditions..
I ended up having to have a hysterectomy recently and at 30…because of this..
And that had it’s own complications..
I’m pro life, but it seems this exception really doesn’t consider women’s health..
Define “health”.
All doctors save the mother. Not the same as ON DEMAND at all
@@robertalust5466 so you are fine with banning abortion for convenience then. Great. Welcome to the pro life side. You know as well as I do that almost all abortions are done for socioeconomic reasons, not medical reasons.
@@gopher7691not convenience
Health vs possible death
That’s the distinction I wanna talk about
Not because of money or career or life interruption
I’m talking like if a woman needs to be near death?
Or can it be incredible pain or major symptoms that can’t be managed properly?
And what are her resources and options if health is not acceptable as a reason?
I know it’s not the common reason women seek abortions
I’m talking about this one select instance…
I’m zeroing in b/c I’ve struggled
And women’s health aren’t really taken seriously unless you super advocate for yourself
Even then…
Matt is a walking argument for postnatal abortion.
If you really want to get rid of abortion, start advocating for policies that remove the reasons/causes why people abort their children instead of fighting a symptom.
Advocate for policies that give people financial stability, easy access to birth control and education.
All of these things are things you oppose because they're leftwing. So stop complaining.
No I won’t stop “complaining” about what amounts to murder because we don’t have endless government handouts at least not yet. We basically do already live in a welfare state so I’m not sure what else you’re looking for. Easy access to birth control? It couldn’t be cheaper or more available what planet do you live on ?
@@mattmac1271 Social programs and worker's rights in the US are an absolute joke.
If you want less abortions, advocate for things which improve people's lives, like leftwing programs.
Things which make people less likely to abort because they will be more likely to be able to afford children.
If you really want to stop infanticide, start advocating for policies that….
You can justify any horror by saying we can’t ban it until this or that policy is implemented. Abortion for convenience is murder. A civilized society must ban it even if it’s sex education policy isn’t to your liking
Great video! Logical and precise
Denying humanity is what slaveholders did
"The fetus is in my body, so shut up" is basically "the slave is on my property, so shut up"
No, the slaveowners said that that slaves WERE their property.
I like Walsh on most topic EXCEPT this one. His anti-abortion stance is based solely in his religious dogma.
For the sake of argument, I will concede EVERY point (even though a lot of them are lies) in order to cut to the essence of the issue. A fetus is nothing but a parasite inside of a woman’s body UNTIL it is viable OUTSIDE of the body. A single woman should have sole rights to the disposition of that fetus up to a certain reasonable scientifically determined consensus point in that pregnancy. After a certain point, a married/partnered woman, after a scientifically determined point, should have to factor in the father’s wishes as well. Women will see this as a “take-over” of the body but we’re talking about a child and there are 2 contributors to that baby…without both, that baby doesn’t exist. Besides, a woman that believes in the 89 gender horseshit, your body has already been taken-over by man that wants to claim he’s now a woman rendering what it is to be a woman not very special anymore.
People will gripe, “but that’s too complicated…blah, blah…”. It’s a potential baby…maybe it should be a little complicated BUT never to supersede the life, or have undue impact upon the “parents”.
Religion should have no part of this equation.
didnt end the argument
Yes it did. But you apparently lack the ability to understand logic and morality.
@@mydogjesus How did that end anything? Everybody agrees that the fetus is a living human. However it doesn’t gain consciousness until around 20 weeks. That’s why I believe that abortions should be allowed up until that point of development.
@@GoofyBeetsconsciousness does not equal moral value.
@@professorcheckmate Yes it does. Before consciousness the fetus cant have a conscious experience, It has as much consciousness as a sperm cell or even a dead person, which is none.
@@GoofyBeets no it doesn’t. To argue otherwise would be to enable the deaths of people in comas or even sleeping.
Really curious to hear from one of the very few that downvoted this video? Was there anything in particular they disagree with?
Me, for example. I don't think I should give birth to an unwanted child. There are so many cases in Asia and in my country when newborns are killed by their mothers. Or left on the streets and die from hunger, beaten up to death. In Afghanistan, young girls are raped by the Taliban and forced to give birth to expand the group, and children are killed for illegal organ transplants because of lack of proper medical care and hygiene; women try to make an abortion from untrustful and unlicensed entities, or even to make it by themselves, and end up dying or severely injured after that. Abortion can be banned in the States, but I don't think it should be banned in my country. I don't think some population is ready to take responsibility for not getting pregnant in the first place.
Imagine smashing an egg that had baby birds in it… exactly, it’s sick. That’s abortion .
If we give personhood to the fetus, then like anyone else they can not use their mothers body with out consent. Pregnancy is hard and should not be forced onto those who are not up to it, that's inhumane
Take responsibility & be celibate then.
@@StephanopoulosdionOops, you missed the part where women get r*ped. It's not the norm (thank goodness). But your argument is just nonsense
The moment we dehumanize an unborn baby is the moment we dehumanize everyone.
yeah nice strawman there. unborn fetuses are just unborn fetuses
@@NEPtune-fy1ug lol how the fuck is that strawman? That is the point of the argument. If it is human, abortion is wrong. It is not about choice, it is about if it is scientifically human.
@@NEPtune-fy1ug So when do you become a human? Because it sounds like you're still a fetus.
@@brianyi2995 a clump of cells isnt human, without any memories or consciousness
@@celestekoluria2695 when fetuses develop consciousness
Let's start calling it mother's choice, instead of women's choice, and everything changes.
ok...then that still doesn't give them the right to murder. A mother is a woman. If she doesn't want her child, then why didn't she just buy a pack of condoms at the store? Be smart. You simply don't have the right to murder babies...you are acting just like the nazis did with infants. They are not humans, according to us, so, therefore, it is okay to kill them. Your opinion shouldn't change morality.
He didn’t end anything.
well, considering pro aborts have never had a coherent argument perhaps it never started
Thomas B They do, but pro lifers are too stupid to understand simple facts.
@@califtom
How did you like that vote in Ohio the other day?….
The forced-birthers were trying to make it harder to pass an abortion measure in November….
The voters rejected that!….
The measure will probably pass and ensure abortion rights in the Ohio Constitution!….
Looks like Matt Walsh didn’t end the debate after all…..
This is a case of false advertising…..
@@hexl702too5 how’d you like that Dobbs ruling? I hope it made you livid. Baby killers won’t ever turn Ohio into the vile states of California or New York whether that upsets you or not.
The problem with your logic is that you assume a fetus is a baby or a child. But fetus is a pre-birth term and baby and child are post-birth terms. You can't equate them in your arguments. Otherwise I could equate a fetus with a senior citizen and claim that the fetus has not only a right to life but also a right to Social Security benefits. Why? Because a fetus will one day become a senior citizen. And there's no senior citizen who wasn't a fetus at one time.
If a person isn't created at conception, when does it become a person? At what point does your logic kick in to qualify as a life which deserves protection?
Lame. Our laws require that the person be of retirement age. It’s the same thing that keeps a teenager from collecting it. So is a teenager not human because the law prevents them from collecting social security?
How is it moral to force a female (and I say "female" because if I say "woman" I would be leaving out pregnant children) to remain pregnant when they don't want to be pregnant?
How do you deal with the medical need for abortion? Say, in cases of ectopic pregnancies?
Ectopic pregnancies are not viable
Ectopic pregnancies are non-viable.
The way I've explained it to people is that the moment that sperm and egg meet that is no longer the mother's DNA and it is no longer the father's DNA. It is a unique and different individual and you do NOT have the right to dictate whether that individual lives or dies.
For pregnancies that arise from normal/typical means (consensual sex) I'd say it's a case of "You knew the risks so act like an adult and deal with the consequences." For other cases such as nonconsensual I would still say the baby should live. It is NOT the child's fault what happened to the mother. The child should NEVER be punished for the crimes of the father.
Ectopic pregnancies are a medical emergency that would endanger the mother's life and they are not comparable to normal pregnancies. On top of that, the baby would not survive 9 months growing in the fallopian tube. It's not made to house a growing baby. In such cases, the baby is doomed from the start either way. Untreated either the baby would die or the mother would die leading to the baby dying anyway.
@@pcdeltalink036 So you think it's an actual person from conception?
@@maxxam3590 Yes, yes I do.
Someone should suit Planned Parenthood for human rights abuses against the unborn. Better yet, file criminal charges against them.
Why don't you do it then?
Thought you subject but anybody that denies a baby as a person is a seriously sick individual!!!
I feel that it's the mothers choice on which she is physically and mentally ready to care for the child and that the mother should not be forced to carry the child because someone in the world thinks that abortion should be illegal no it's should be the mothers choice to do what feels right for her
Then maybe give up the baby for adoption? Or just try to be more responsible when it comes to having sex and using contraception.
I became a mother at 19, I wanted to abort my baby. Then I saw her in an ultrasound and I realized she needs a chance at life. So I wanted to give her up for adoption but my parents forced me to have her basically. At the end of the day, I am glad as a woman, I took accountability and I became a mother. I can’t imagine life without my little sidekick. Sometimes, becoming mothers can better oneself and just who we need to move forward with our lives.
@@soulserenade.kcn1992 How disgustingly selfish and short sighted of you to assume that every woman in the world is in the same situation as you. fuck off.
I feel that it's the mother's choice if she is physically & mentally able to care for her 2 month old infant and 3 year old toddler. She shouldn't be forced to care for her children by giving them food and shelter just because someone thinks that neglecting them or killing them should be illegal. It should be her choice to do what feels right to her.
@@eviedp1 you use the word 'feel' twice. Should we as human beings just do whatever 'feels' right? Is there no objective right or wrong? Should I be allowed to walk into a school and shoot people because I 'feel' like it? Feelings come and go. I sympathise with mothers who become pregnant and are facing difficulties but there is practical help and moral support out there for them. Or adoption is an option. Is abortion really the best we can offer women?
If she knows that she isn’t mentally and physically capable to take care of a child then why would she have unprotected sex? If she’s responsible enough to do that then she obviously knows the consequences of it so she can deal with it.
Safe medical abortion is good. It saves women´s lives.
The overwhelming majority of abortions aren't done for medical emergencies. That's because it's not a medical necessity in pregnancy related medical emergencies. The vast majority of abortions are not done to save the lives of mothers but to kill unborn children. That's just a fact.
I always think it's best if there's a way to save both of the lives that should always be done over an abortion
Save lives reduce maxium speed limit to 25 mph. Save more lives and ban cars except for ambulances.
At it's earliest stage, what may develop into a full baby is only a single cell.
Nothing more, nothing less.
And somewhere along the way is that shift from barely an inconvenience to murder.
Early on, the developing cells are no more alive than a tree. Would you call killing a tree murder? Would you mourn it? Hold a funeral for it?
The preborn baby develops extremely rapidly. By the time a woman typically finds out she's pregnant, the baby is already well on its way to being visually recognizable as such. And is quite alive. Why do you worship convenience?
@@axelfirestorm2080 Even still, it is not fully human. Also, why would I worship convenience? I am not religious, I don't worship anything. On the contrary, I think that religion often stands in the way of a nuanced perspective.
@@lucad9667 Worship as in you make it more important than anything else. And yes, an unborn baby IS fully human. His or her DNA isn't anything BUT human. I can still remember seeing my older son's first ultrasound with his mom. He was small but definitely looked like a baby, even at only 8 weeks or so. He was rolling around and everything. Now he's almost 18 and a happy young man.
@@axelfirestorm2080 Great for him, but that's just one example. There are plenty of others where abortion should be an acceptable solution. Recklessly sleeping without protection all the way up to rape, there are plenty of reasons, and it is no ones business but the mother's what to do in that situation.
If that is true, are we saying that accidental miscarriages are also man slaughter? Why should a woman being raped not have the right to not be a mother is she doesn't want to? Why do we want to give birth to all accidental pregnancies as well? The family structure all around the world is already broken. Millions of children have no one to take care of them. Why do we want to creat more broken families? Matt always makes it a point to define terms. What is a woman? Right? An adult female human. What is a human? A person who can cry, sleep, laugh and see the light outside the world, with a pair of lungs, 2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 legs, a nose etc etc. The population of the world is already 7 billion. And a vast proportion of them are struggling. We really do not need to bring in even more people if their parents themselves are not able to take care of them. The 3 months in which an abortion is allowed is actually to make a decision whether the particular being can be allowed to become a human and see the outer world. And that decision needs to be the parents' decision and the family's. Not the government's.. and not Matt's as well.
Any pro-lifer who is opposed to artificial wombs must admit that their opposition to abortion is not about saving babies but on controlling bodies. Some women do not want to be pregnant. Artificial wombs are an alternative to abortion.
I’m more than fine with artificial wombs being created.
Artificial wombs is an aberration to nature and just utterly dehumanizes mothers.
The nervous system & brain are not even developed yet. So there is no pain or the fetus doesn’t even know what happening. Thus abortion is humane. Plus it’s a woman right, government does not have the right to tell you what to do with your own body.
So pain is the line where you draw the line at abortion. Guess I can shoot someone in the head while they are sleeping. No pain, no murder. And you're right about the other th8ing. The government can't tell you what to do with your own body, except if you want to use your body to kill another body. Guess it just depends on what you think is a "body."
@@SaintSC05 The unborn baby is not your body. in the US suicide is legal. if that is what you are talking about. the unborn baby is not an organ. The unborn baby is a human with all the organs of a human formed or developing. brain development ( which is part of other development ) starts at 3weeks . Which is inconsequential, it is not (in-human) just because it hasn't developed a brain yet.
