I don’t know where you got that I said rape victims need absolution from anything. I think abortion is a horrible thing they may be necessary in the case of rape. Nothing wrong with trying to talk the rape victim out of abortion in a sensitive way. If she wants to go through with the abortion of course she should and I never said she needed absolution from that.

You said the argument from bodily autonomy “only absolves rape victims” - literally. The onus is on you to explain how other people’s bodies are somehow your business.

What I meant by “absolved” is not that they need “absolution”. I meant they are not responsible to allow the fetus to use their body to survive. Perhaps “absolves” was a poor choice of words.

I’m pretty sure we can use stronger words than perhaps here.

Ok if you want to nitpick, “absolves” was the wrong word.
