If killing a clump of cells is infanticide then so is IVF and wanking. Might as well stop eating while you're at it too - if you eat meat you kill animals directly through your demand - if you don't you still kill loads of cells in every item you consume. Might as well start floating too since your body can crush and kill cells
Don't people see how ridiculous the argument is? A foetus doesn't have any indications of sentience until the third trimester at around 6 months. Abortions before 6 months, if they 'kill' anything, kill an un-alive, un-sentient being.
If these American conservatives really cared about the kids they'd achieve more addressing the fatherlessness problem, the inequality against fathers in family courts, reform gun laws and advocate for universal healthcare and further support a centralised, codified and compulsory form of sex education which currently does not exist in the states and would further support more affirmative action over the fostering of the approx 400,000 kids in the foster/adoptive system in the US at any given time. But no, I bet we'll be hard pressed to find anyone who supports all of these things - and if you don't, it's likely not really about the 'babies' but about control or you're simply incredibly misinformed on abortions in general.
Furthermore, research from the Guttmacher institute has shown that in countries where abortions are illegal, the rate of abortions performed actually goes UP not down. So weirdly if you oppose abortions, supporting abortions actually helps reduce abortions. Accessibility to the help that precedes an abortion is a massive help.

Nobody has the right to inhibit another persons choice. If abortions are legal, you can choose to not have one. It's not that hard. It's no skin off your nose and you aren't oppressing other people because 'muh 2000yo book says so'.
I haven't even begun to discuss the immorality of forcing women to live with children they cannot have - if a delivery is going to be lethal, you're sending a woman to death. If a woman was raped, she doesn't want the baby. Products of incest usually have severe deformities. Several medical procedures require abortions and can result in death if the abortion is not performed (e.g. stillbirth foetus that cannot exit the womb). Children forced to be born live horrific and severely disadvantaged lives most of the time.
It's a much bigger picture than 'killing' a clump of cells, you absolute fucking wingnuts.
