CMV: Pro-life doesn’t make sense to me, at all

I’m a Muslim, and I might sound biased (i really don’t know) and just to safe, I‘ll be speaking from an Islamic pov. Keep in mind that my views don’t represent every Muslim, I simply follow the mainstream Islamic view. Also, I ***don’t support either pro-life or pro-choice completely***, but if I had to choose, pro-choice because it aligns closer with Islamic values.

So. Pro-life. Which btw, there shouldn’t even be a pro-life stance on this matter ffs. This opinion takes inspiration (?) from a Christian belief of baptism, and the State shouldn’t have religious biases playing into it.

Second, a sizeable portion of America isn’t pro-life, for religious reasons or not. It’s just cruel to impose your own restrictions on people who don’t subscribe to your opinions. Before someone starts slinging Iran and how female tourists have to wear hijabs at me, 1. look up pictures of women living in Iran right now, 2. that’s a headscarf. A *headscarf*. We’re talking about actual, human lives right now.

Third, there’s more of an advantage to pro-choice; not only do pro-lifer woman actually get to keep their baby, pro-choice and neutral women can choose not to (if they want). Basically, everyone gets to do as they see fit. Is that not the core point of freedom?

Call me naive all you want, but I really just want to know why we can’t have basic bodily autonomy. I’m mostly looking to speak with pro-lifers, but anyone who can offer another view is welcome. This has been repeated over and over, but please keep things respectful. This is a sensitive comment, handle it with care.

edit: you don’t have to be Christian to be a pro-lifer and vice versa. This is a mistake on my part.

edit 2: the pro-life argument has mostly Christian values and 47% of Catholic Christians are pro-life, hence why I misinterpreted pro-lifers as all Christians. I understand that this is no excuse for me to generalize a very diverse group of people and I’m sincerely, truly sorry for this. i’ve also changed all the Christian terms to pro-lifers. If there’s anything offensive in the text please lmk, and again I apologize.

edit 3: i have been soundly proven wrong. I feel slightly ashamed at not understanding pro-lifer reasoning now actually haha. Anyway, feel free to discuss and reply to old comments, though I may not reply back. thanks everyone :)

You are wrong that you have to be Christian to be pro-life, anyone who perceives a child in the womb as being human could very well be pro-life, unless they go as far as saying that they acknowledge the humanity of the unborn but murder is fine in that circumstance.

When do you believe that life begins? You have to answer that question first, in order to work out whether you are pro-life or pro-choice.
