What should I say to people who justify Margaret Sanger's philosophy by saying that it outdated? And then go on to say that Christians are hypocrites because of the Crusades and the Inquisition? I mean, I know that the Crusades were to preserve the Holy Land, but what should I respond to that?
1. There is a difference between going back a few decades and going back a couple centuries.
2. New historical evidence has shown that the inquisition was completely different than what was previously thought. Heresy was a crime punishable by the state. The church was interested in correcting the heretic, not killing him. The state had no such qualms. The Church stepped in to prevent the irrational killing by the state. In fact there are stories where the accused for another crime would profess heresies once the Church stepped in to get tried in the ecclesial courts instead of state courts.
3. As for the Crusades, those were defensive wars when the Church ran them until greedy secular princes forced their will upon the war.
4. How can Margaret Sanger’s eugenicist, xenophobic, and racist ideology be outmoded when they still quote her. Anytime a prochoicer screams about anti-abortion, or anti-contraception advocates wanting to make women ‘incubators,’ they are quoting her.
5. One need only look to see how abortion affects the black community and the special education community to see how Margaret Sanger’s ideology is alive and well in America’s planned parenthood centers.

Hi. So let's say I'm pregnant and am unable to get an abortion simply so people like you can have the satisfaction of keeping your primitive beliefs alive, I'd like to know if you're going to cover all of my hospital bills? What about diapers, food, clothing, schooling, health bills and day to day expenses? Let's say the father isn't supportive, are you going to be it's father figure? Before you open your fucking mouth think about that.
To your economic concerns, yes, Universal healthcare. As to your question about me being a father figure, yes again, I will be a priest, so I will be a father figure to the community.
Also, please be kinder, you’re aggression detracts from your ethos.

"Find a way that a fetus can be removed from the womb and still survive, and then that problem is solved." That is a great idea, but how can you research that without killing any fetus?
That’s a very good question! And here’s another one. If we find that research would require the death of a person then would that research be ethical? We would probably agree that harming or killing a person, even if it’s for research would be unethical. That’s what we as a society decided after the Tuskegee experiments, that the rights of an individual cannot be tarnished for the sake of another, or even for greater society.
Therefore, how could one argue for the legitimacy of abortion on the grounds that the woman’s ‘choice’ trumps the rights of the unborn person? It’s agreed that killing is not an acceptable way to advance the cause of another. Therefore, abortion is unethical.

You see, with abortion it is not that one wants the fetus dead, just that one does not want the fetus in their body, they do not want to take responsibility for it. I think it is wrong to force anyone to take on responsibility. Find a way that a fetus can be removed from the womb and still survive, and then the problem is solved. Until then, no one with a uterus should be forced to care for a fetus against their will

You see, with anti-abortion and pro-life advocacy it is not that one wants the woman to be ‘forced’ to birth the child, just that one should not kill the child. I think it is wrong to kill people. Find a way that a fetus can be removed from the womb and still survive, and then that problem is solved. Until then, no one in a uterus should be killed.

Every month a woman's body releases an egg. It has the potential of being a human. If it is not fertilized, it gets passed out of the woman's body. Is that murder?
No,
1. because it is not fertilized.
2. because murder requires premeditation. One does not menstruate with premeditation.

"Consent cannot be revoked to endanger the lives of other people."-You. Do you know that that is a false statement? If you're dying of kidney failure and I say I will donate my kidney, I can go back on my word at any moment until the kidney has been transplanted in your body. Granted it's kind of a dick thing to do, but nevertheless I can do it. It's about having rights to my own body.
Right, but up to a certain point, which you pointed out beautifully.
If you’re dying of kidney failure and I say I will donate my kidney, I can go back on my word at any moment until the kidney has been transplanted in your body.
You would not be able to get your kidney back once it is in my body. Even if you were to have kidney failure and need a kidney. Why? Because kidney donation is a gift and once a gift is given it cannot be taken back, especially a gift so vital as a kidney which represents life in this life or death situation. Similarly once the child is conceived, one cannot take back the gift of life given to the child for one’s own sake. It would be like asking for your kidney back from someone who would die without it, and that is a ‘dick’ thing to do.

First of all let me say that I'm impressed with you, because most people that I find to be pro-life are irrational and frankly annoying. You take a logical approach and I appreciate this, though my question for you is "When do you believe life begins?" and once you've answered that. "Why?"
Well, thank you! To your question, Life itself began once, 3.5 billion years ago or so. Every one of us can trace our DNA back to that one primordial event. (Okay, possibly not because of polygenesis, the theory that life began in several different places at different times but ignoring that.)
Anyways, each human life begins at conception. I know this because at the moment of conception an organism is created from two separate organisms. This organism has human DNA and if allowed to grow, will eventually be able to reproduce with any other member of the human species. Before conception, you had two separate cells, the sperm and egg, and neither of them have the full human DNA, nor would they be able develop in anyway possible to reproduce with any member of our species.

Abortion is not wrong because it is a PERSONAL choice and neither you nor any law can tell me what to do with my body. No one is FOR abortion, but myself and many others are PRO CHOICE.
Abortion is still killing a person. You can’t claim its a personal choice as if that means anything. You realize that you could change abortion with any heinous crime, and the argument you make would be just as valid? (or rather, invalid.)
Prochoice is pro-abortion because you seek to legalize abortion. In the same way that those who wanted slavery to be legal were pro-slavery.

I have no obligation to sacrifice myself for anyone, particularly my health. Is it a nobel thing to do? Sure, but you cannot force me into sacrifice
Actually, morally and legally you are obligated to do so if the alternative is killing a human being.

Saying that consent to sex is consent to pregnancy is faulty. Saying the latter is ignoring the fact that consent can be revoked at anytime, one has a right to change their minds. And saying that one cannot have sex and complain about being pregnant is also faulty. If I cut myself, that is not consent to the cut getting infected, and I can use whatever means I wish to eliminate the infection.
Consent cannot be revoked to endanger the lives of other people.
You are right, you can use medication to eliminate the infection, because that medication is not killing another human being.
