ADF, a conservative Christian lobby group that counts among its allies JD Vance, has stated that its goal is to see abortion rights curtailed in Britain, says Guardian columnist Zoe Williams
Personally I believe that even if we agree that a foetus is a living human right from the moment of conception, no human has the right to force another human to use their own body to sustain them. I can’t demand that you let me connect us together with an IV so I can use your blood even if my life depends on it. Never mind that those “edge cases” are actually extremely important to a lot of people.
Buffer zone laws exist because those protests consistently target people seeking help in vulnerable situation, not the people with any power to actually make the changes that the protestors want. Your right to protest must be balanced against people’s right to access medical care.
None, and I do mean none, of the things you mentioned in the third and fourth paragraphs of your comment were brought about by abortion. Are you seriously trying to suggest that any of those things were better in, say, Victorian era Britain?
If those were the motivations behind abortion it’d be far, far easier for them to promote contraception instead. Why would this sinister lobby bother waiting for conception?
The ADF also has serious problems beyond just the abortion debate, though. Nobody should be associating with a group that has chosen to argue in court that barring people from adopting children on the grounds that they’re Jewish is okay.
If you adopt a child and neglect it, you can’t say that child is forcing itself on you.

A lot of them are people offering them help.

No, but abortion isn’t the solution. It’s a way of covering up. It’s like burning down a forest to get rid of grey squirrels. Sure, it might solve the problem but it’s a terrible “solution”.

Then why do we need abortion if contraception exists?

No idea what that is. I’m just talking about abortion here tbh.

Maybe read the article before commenting on whether or not it’s a “Farage W” then
This is lemmy, nobody reads the article
