While I would never associate myself with pro-choice and their stereotyping and demonizing an entire group , I do believe that abortion should be legal. I discovered that I personally don’t consider the fetus equal to a child. I’m appalled when people kill or try to kill abortion doctors. I wouldn’t blink an eye if someone killed a child murderer. So I had to conclude that my opposition to abortion doesn’t fit what I feel deep down. But it’s nothing I’m proud of. I can’t think of another area where someone would change positions and be disgusted by it. No analogy fits.
You’re right, or course. Abortion is a unique situation and one that is incredibly mentally taxing for the individual. I think we can craft scenarios that create a similar moral conflict, but there is no perfect analogy.
