I have a general question for the men on this thread who support anti-abortion: What are your views concerning the soul- does it begin at the conception of the sperm and the egg, or once the baby is born, or somewhere in between? Now I have heard stories of people who have provided testimonials they swear they were consciously aware or have a distant memory of being in the “dark” and then having some memories of seeing a doctor’s face when they were born. I’m just wondering if your perceptions of the soul being there in the mass conglomeration of cells has anything to do with how your views on terminating a pregnancy. Personally, I feel I am more middle ground- if the fetus is in the first trimester, I dont see anything morally wrong with a woman deciding it is better for the baby if she is bringing it into a cruel environment, but at third trimester, thats when it gets tricky. And it is very wrong personally for abortion clinics to abort a fetus at full term or if the baby comes out crying, to let it die and suffer. Like that is murder. But it’s not murder if in a petri dish, for example IVF, for the glob of cells to be terminated.
https://youtu.be/yRA0KMCEP2o. here is a video on pro life vs pro choice. Both sides are civil and make good arguments, showing that abortion is not so much a black and white issue- personal experience has a lot to do with how one views the issue. Note: many of the people in the video are women, so its nice to have some female perspectives on the issue since they are the ones carrying the baby most of the time (unless you are trans)
