I can't fathom what goes even through their brains.

Even if you are morally opposed to abortion, why should a woman in 2026 be forced to carry a child for 9 months and risk death and permanent bodily harm when she doesn't want to?

The thing that I find hard to wrap my head around with pro forced birth folk is why abortion is the top issue. Gun violence? Meh. Healthcare system screwing over millions? Who cares. Children having to starve due to poverty? Irrelevant. Somehow an unborn's potential life is more important than any of that.

I realistically know that it's because advocating for the unborn is uncomplicated. They have no voice to demand anything and have no past, but it's still hard for me to understand how children stop mattering the moment they are born.

The unborn are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.
