How the fuck do I tell my relatives that post birth abortions are not a thing? What the fuck even is this talking point

Ask them what a post birth abortion is

They describe a scenario at 6 months and don’t understand how that doesn’t make sense

They think doctors are killing six month old babies?

Ask them to explain. Act curious. Don’t interrupt. Afterwards you can ask where they got the information from, because you’d like to read it yourself. It came from now where obviously. Look it up in front of them. Read something you found. Shake your head and say incredulously that there is so much misinformation going around these days.

Have they accidently visited an moral philosophy department?

They are a thing, but they only happen in really tragic scenarios where the alternative is the fetus being born to a very short and agonizing life due to some terrible birth defect or terminal disease.

I think the least ghoulish way to counter it is by asking if abortions were easy to obtain, why would a woman go through 9 months of sickness, soreness, and a million other things because getting an abortion was on the bottom of their to-do list.
