"Fertility is an awesome thing, not a disease that needs to be cured. Some people can't have children, so be grateful and don't work against your fertility!"
- "Chocolate is an awesome thing, too. Some people are allergic to chocolate. Should people who are not allergic be forced to eat chocolate, even if they don't want to?" (Chocolate can be replaced with any other awesome thing)
- "Fertility is awesome, but liberty is far more important."
"If you don't want to have children, you're obviously selfish." (Seriously, people have implied this!)
- "No, I'm not. What's selfish is when people neglect, abuse, or kill an already
existing child in order to live the life they want to live. Are you
selfish just because you don't work at the homeless shelter full time?
There are a million ways to do good in the world."
- "Frankly, if I ever
had children, I'd go crazy from the lack of sleep and time to myself,
which wouldn't be good for anyone."
"Pro-life women are just voting against themselves."
- "So... you're implying that all women secretly want abortions, even if they don't know it? Way to respect women as individuals."
- "Anti-racist white people must hate themselves."
"You really think a clump of cells should have rights over the person carrying it?"
- "You mean like how a child has more rights than their parent(s) because child abuse is illegal?"
- "You know, I would really like to kill my next door neighbor because they're annoying the crap out of me. But noooooo, the government thinks my next door neighbor has more rights than me."
"Planned Parenthood does great things! So what if they perform abortions? It's only 3% of their services!"
- "Would you support a charity that kills a few people a year?"
- "There are other ways to get affordable birth control. Just saying."
- "Says the person who dislikes Salvation Army for their anti-LGBT+ policies." (Or whatever)
"Birth control causes an abortion mentality!"
- "Yeah, the same way marital sex causes a marital rape mentality."
- (If the person saying this is conservative) "So... does owning a gun for self-defense cause a murder mentality?"
"Stop complaining about misogyny! Men also have problems, and they're just as bad, if not worse, than the ones women face."
- "Yes, the same way we shouldn't complain about government oppression because of the risks and responsibilities of being a political leader." (Note: if the person is a statist, this argument will not work)
"Hobby Lobby is violating women's rights!"
- "Dude, it's not like they're going to be fired for using Plan B. They just have to pay for it themselves."
- "Hey, can you buy me a white tee shirt from (insert controversial brand here)? No, it has to be that brand! If you don't pay for my white tee shirt, I'll sue you! You're denying me the right to wear clothes!!"
"I support free healthcare!"
- "Me too! I believe people should be free to choose whatever healthcare plan they want! Darn you, government!"
- "Yeah... free healthcare that means I have to pay more taxes."
"Capitalism gives corporations too much power! That's why the government needs to be more involved."
- "But that gives the government too much power."
- "Corporations can't put you in jail. The government, on the other hand..."
"The Supreme Court said abortion is a constitutional right, so your opinion is invalid."
- "Ingraham v. Wright happened a few years after Roe v. Wade, and the ruling was that that it does not violate the Eighth Amendment for teachers to beat up children to the point of injury, so if you're against that, your opinion is invalid."
- "Yeah, because legality determines morality, and therefore the law is always correct."
