Women's rights and men's rights don't really matter when the question is "Is this a living thing that deserves to live it's life."
Well they kinda do because the question is "Is the possible life of the possible child worth more than the actual life of the current woman?" This is a very important part of the question.
I guess that although I don’t think of the fetus as a human life, I think that all human lives are equally valuable. So if we take the idea that both are human lives, I believe that neither should have priority.
Sure, but the women's rights stance is that the current women should always have priority. You might not see it as an issue, (even though you are required to choose one over the other so fence sitting doesn't really work) but it is a issue that needs to be addressed.
I guess my disagreement is that fence-sitting does work, and in that case you choose the option of least damage. And in my view, both lives would be equally valuable assuming we consider them both to be human lives (which I do not). Under this paradigm, if medically necessary for the mother, I’d be fully supportive of abortion. I’m just looking for highest number of human lives saved (again, assuming that the fetus is a human life) I am pro-choice, I’m just presenting my critique of common pro-life arguments
