What someone has said about abortion on another forum.
By "forced" they could mean by religion and abortion is against their family religion or get disowned. But is putting the baby up for an adoption against their religion as well?
What about just leaving their kid with their siblings to raise when the parent clearly never wanted their child?
There are other options out there than abortion.

There are other options out there than abortion.
Adoption is the path I would have chosen if I were in that situation. But I can't support an Alabama-style total ban, or the "fetal heartbeat" laws.

I will repeat my opinion on abortion:
Science should take up the matter, and develop incubators for underdeveloped fetuses. This should eliminate the "problem", right?
Unfortunately, the far right wants to force themselves on everyone and determine how women handle a pregnancy, as a part of trying to force their "rules" on the world.
Unfortunately, the far left wants to not have any trace of an unwanted pregnancy alive in this world.
I'm not kidding here. I've seen both opinions, and I'm not exaggerating at all.
And they say we are evolved???

Screw god on this topic. If they have that power to make this decision they can make the fetus survive outside. Otherwise, people should not push their god onto other people.

Science should take up the matter, and develop incubators for underdeveloped fetuses. This should eliminate the "problem", right?
The first steps towards eliminating the “problem” would be 1) compulsory sex education including on contraception, 2) increased access to contraception. This has been proven to reduce the number of abortions.
If there was a way of removing zefs from wombs that was less invasive than an abortion then that would dramatically reduce the demand for abortions, but it would massively increase the number of unwanted children. A substantial amount of money would be required to maintain the incubators and then raise the resultant children.
The “if you don’t want kids then don’t have sex” attitude is silly. It suggests that children are a punishment for having sex. If someone accidentally gets pregnant, or deliberately gets pregnant and then changes their mind, they should not be condemned to keep carrying a zef they don’t want.
With all the respect - sex produces babies and adults should be aware of that fact before engaging. Abortion should not be considered a replacement for properly applied contraception (like it used to be in Soviet Union).
But what gives people the idea that there is any significant amount of adults using abortion as a replacement for contraceptive methods?
We shouldn’t be using children as a deterrent for “risky behaviours”.
1 in every 200 women who are sterilised (“tubes tied”) will get pregnant. 36 in 200 who use male condoms will get pregnant.
Almost everyone, given the choice, would rather use contraception than abortion, as it tends to be less invasive. But millions of people don’t have access to contraception, or aren’t educated about it. And some people may even think that they want to conceive, and then experience a change in circumstances (bereavement, unemployment, relationship break-up, illness/disability) or simply a change in mind.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again - it is irrational to be opposed to abortion while being in favour of meat eating. And for zygotes and embryos, it is irrational to be opposed to abortion if you are in favour of products that kill bacteria.

It's not that hard to concieve people care more about people than animals. Also bacteria won't grow to become babies.
Hi, then I hope you are a true beliver and use most of your free time to help all that follow your creed that need help bc they have kids they cant take care of. If not, shame on you for uttering something thoughtless about something you lack understanding for the implications of what you utter.
I do agree quite strongly that every human is precious and has a right to live, if they do not with intent try to destroy others value of life.
Go out in the nature, enjoy the beauty and wonder. Then consider that everything you see, everything, fight with poison and teeth and claw, kill for food, kill for space, and then consider if this God of yours who created this decides anything descent for anything or care at all.
I would claim that the conclusion is that we all have to help each other survive as best we can and give support when its needed bc obviously no decent entity care except other humans.

The article seems more or less to tell what I consider to be how this is and should be thought about.
Last part of article:
'
Look, let's get real: abortion has been a part of human culture as long as there has been human culture, because women, like or it not, have always made choices about when they should and should not be pregnant (actually a very common phenomenon in many species). For ages, we have trusted women to make this choice. It's only in recent centuries, thanks largely to patriarchal religions like Christianity, that society has stopped trusting women to make these choices about pregnancy and child-bearing that we have evolved to make. Yeah, that's why nature gave us the uterus and not you dudes. Sorry, but it's time to start trusting women again. Deal with it.
'
As long as humanity cant and hopefully won't alter our biology, much that is said about abortion is confusing and frustrating. Our biology is hardwired for most of us to seek out the opposite sex, have a deeper relation than dump and run, form a family and have this deep connection we can have during intercourse. This is what our genes program us to do. And most humans will have a depressive and horrible life locked away from this. So this idea of zip up or cross your legs as hypothesis is not going to solve everything, and no one has a clue on how to solve it without the right for females to have the only say in the matter and give education and easy access to contraception. Most people that argue for the opposite belive they have a say in things they morally dont have a say in. Deal with it indeed.
What we all have a right to do is think, and talk, and thus be abele to find agreement not fitting for all, but fitting for most of us.

It's not that hard to concieve people care more about people than animals. Also bacteria won't grow to become babies.
Zefs aren't people, and aborted zefs also won't grow to become babies.
I don't really care what someone wants to do with their reproductive organs.
No one gets upset when a women gets her reproductive organs removed for one reason or another, or when a guy masturbates. Men masturbating kills millions of viable, healthy sperm and women getting their ovaries removed kills thousands of viable, healthy ova that could have become a viable, healthy human.
Humans have spontaneous abortions, AKA miscarriages, all the time anyways. No one yells at women or their bodies for having that type of abortion. Nature already aborts organisms it doesn't seem viable or useful, so there's no issue with women taking that into their own hands if a woman's body can decide that for her at any time.
If "God" didn't want abortion he wouldn't abort organisms in the womb nor give humans the tools to do that themselves. "God" is not some helpless entity watching in horror as his creations do things that displease him, he can stop abortions from happening any time he wants to, and he has chosen not to do so.
