I was actually quite stumped by the “abortion is murder!” argument initially as it can get philosophical quick on what constitutes a life that can be “murdered” (i.e. does it have to be birthed, walking, able, etc, this is a bad summary)— but the spike in alt right violence against women, children, and just people in general in the US made the hypocrisy glaringly obvious.

A woman’s chance of getting murdered while pregnant (already distressingly high) has already increased significantly in states that outlawed abortion.
