> And it doesn't change the fact that real experiences of actual people are completely missing from the discussion here. I mean, if you want to take your position, where is the discussion from the pro-life crowd about people who weren't aborted and appreciate that? Or the people who decided against an abortion and what changed their mind? That would be a good discussion to have too and would reify the whole philosophical debate. But that's absent as well! And rightly so, because there's not much that's going to be accomplished by arguing from cherry-picked anecdotes. Moreover, the perspectives of women who have deep trauma and regret for their abortions have been firmly pushed out of the public debate for my entire life (indeed, for as long as I've been alive, the "debate" has only been pro-choice people arguing against straw men). > And I'm sorry it so frustrates you that you believe minorities are used at proxies to advance views that are predominately held by white liberals and find it so disrespectful, but a lot of people also feel that you championing the government to control our bodies is indeed very disrespectful, so there's enough disrespect to go around. Honestly, if you can't participate without inflaming the discussion in each of your comments, maybe just take a beat before commenting?
