Person Shows The World How To Respond To Anti-Abortionists If They Call You A ‘Murderer’

Abortion is a divisive topic, something that we’ve covered exhaustively here at Bored Panda. It is one of those things that people will never be able to really agree on. The chances of one ‘side’ changing their minds and being convinced by the arguments of the other are incredibly slim.

Still, there are effective and respectful ways of making your point about unwanted pregnancies, and anonymously contacting a person to call them a murderer is not one of them. Neither is camping out in front of Planned Parenthood to shout anti-abortion abuse at women getting check-ups.

This exchange, originally shared by the Insufferably Intolerant Science Nerd shows two vastly different methods of stating one’s position on abortion laws and ethics; we will leave it up to you to decide which is the most effective. If nothing else, the reasoned, thorough pro-abortion response perfectly puts into words what many people feel about so-called ‘pro-lifers’ and completely confounds the unsolicited, abusive accusations. Perhaps it could be one of the best comebacks to try if you ever find yourself harangued by placard-waving nutjobs at your local sexual health clinic?

I'm a visual editor at Bored Panda. I kickstart my day with a mug of coffee bigger than my head, ready to tackle Photoshop. I navigate through the digital jungle with finesse, fueled by bamboo breaks and caffeine kicks. When the workday winds down, you might catch me devouring bamboo snacks while binging on the latest TV show, gaming or I could be out in nature, soaking up the tranquility and communing with my inner panda.

"Pro-lifers" are not really pro-life. They're pro-birth. Whatever it takes to control women.

Call them what they are, and they are gestation slavers. All they want is to control and punish women.

Agreed. If they were truly anti-abortion then they would support free and easy access to contraceptives for both genders and make sure people knew how to use them. No woman who wasn't pregnant ever had an abortion.

I would contend that they are anti sex. I have been told by evangelists that pregnancy is a punishment for sex outside of marriage.

If you see them picketing just pelt them with eggs. Sorry her spiel is correct, but I'm not taking that length of time to debate religion versus reality. It's egging time.

Pro-life people are scary. Some of them actually attack people who perform abortions, doctors and patients. how is that Pro life? Does pro life care about children when they are already born but not wanted for any reason at all (isn't there too many people in the world already? We are overpopulated!). Do they care about life of children who are born, wanted but sick or poor? Do they donate? Also, if they are so so so for life, do they respect every life? Every cat, puppy, spider, tree, every plant, in general living creatures? Or their lives don't matter, just human, and by that I mean humans who aren't even born yet. Becaise those that are born obviously don't matter.

Pro-life is less about saving babies, and more about controlling women. I've noticed that once the baby is born, the pro-lifers suddenly lose all interest.

They killed our abortion doctor, Dr Tiller, in his church with his family and other families all around. The guy who did it is considered a hero to the anti abortion crowd.

There was a pro lifer working at an abortion clinic here in Melbourne few years ago. He knowingly infected multiple women with hepatitis C. He got prosecuted but ffs how evil and s**t is that.

Because life matters, people shouldn't get pregnant, if you respect life, why to have sex without resbonsability? And then take the life of the baby? People keep dong it, and then they go for abortion, that's scary.

I am pro choice. I don’t like abortion, and here’s the but, but it has been around since women started having babies. In some cultures, yes even today, a pregnancy is carried out then the unwanted child is either killed or exposed to the elements to die. Yes there are some pro life places that give a pregnant woman support. The problem is we don’t hear about them and they are too few we too little support. I don’t believe in abortion being just another birth control method for that wild night you didn’t use protection. If you think of abortion like that you need to look for better birth control or even a permanent solution if you don’t want children. I would a woman had a safe place to terminate a pregnancy. Most women are not murderers and to scream that at women is beyond words. I weep for the society that doesn’t care for the young it forces women to bear.

I really doubt anyone likes having an abortion in the same way no one likes having to go through open heart surgery but sometimes you have to do s**t you don't like for a better future.

The DREAM of everyone who supports a woman's right to choose is that there will be a day when abortion is not needed. It's not an easy choice. Nobody is happy about it. Perhaps one day there will be perfect birth control and contraception -- and access for all, no rape or incest, well-informed people of all ages. But until then, we must fight for the right of a woman to choose.

All valid and the reason why I do not see it being a problem. Your right it should not be a means of BC 100% and I am sure they do not just give abortions out, I am sure medical records would show multiple and the person would be denied. But you hit it dead on - China was prime example of babies being thrown in ditches to die, America how many babies die or are abandoned. It is a hard choice as a woman, and having a safe place to talk to someone and be presented with all options so they can make a informed choice and that is what I understand is done before they do the abortion. There is no joy or fun from an abortion, it is hard, it stays with you forever. But being forced into a situation creates more issues in the long run
