Is that for them, they consider abortion a crime.
I don't want to disillusion you, but always bear this in mind - 50% of these people on the anti-abortion picket lines are addicted to their cause.
They they consider it both sacrilege and murder, because their God (the Nationalist Prosperity Gospel one they chose per their First Amendment right) put an embryo in a woman to turn into a baby. People are supposed to submit to their God; everything that happens is part of His plan.
Their right to a protected Religious practice is protected under the First Amendment. Their religion considers Abortion a sacrilege that must be abolished.
Their right to Guns to "protect themselves" is protected by the Second Amendment.
The Nationalist argument is that Abortion or any sort of bodily autonomy is not in the Constitution; those concerns are only codified by local law under the Tenth Amendment, like the difference between Murder and Manslaughter.
And they totally ignore the Ninth Amendment unless they can use it to benefit their positions.
You can argue with those people all you want, but they hide behind their interpretative twisting of the Constitution and the Bible for their personal agendas.
The true believers, the Religious cultists, Gun Fetishists and Forced Birthers never talk or act in good faith. They won't listen to your arguments or attempt to twist what you say to their position. The "nice" ones who "don't want to cause trouble" pretend to consider your arguments to shut you up, but then go on with their cult beliefs and activities, because their cult makes them feel important and powerful, which is more important than the wellbeing or lives of any of "those other people".
You can try, but I've yet to find any argument that will sway the True believers. The only ones you can reach are the middle of the roaders, and even then, you need to approach them in such a way they can emotionally connect to your arguments. Attacks don't work well, they were already sucked in to anti-abortion positions by appeals to their sense of emotional justice
Protect those babies! Abortion is being used as birth control by selfish young women who don't take responsibility for their actions! They can always put those babies up for adoption instead of killing them! Heartbeat at 8 weeks, 6 weeks, 28 day...!
It's exhausting.
And they're so willfully ignorant due to their need to justify some of the horrendous things they're willing to put others through to satisfy their cult addiction, it's hard not to approach them as an enemy. Which will not help your arguments to get them to think at all
Don't want to be a downer, but I'm providing you with most the arguments they're going to throw back at you to satisfy their need to prove you wrong. How you approach them to turn their mind is different depending on the anti-abortionist and how deep they are in their cult.
