It's not needed if their argument is based in religion. I would also say, if this person believes that an unborn child is alive and that abortion is bad, then I would suggest this person doesn't get an abortion. Also, someone else's medical situation is none of their business.
I personally believe that entertaining someone else's view on this topic that thinks it should be illegal, is a problem. It's akin to giving flat earthers a platform to spew their shit. I'm all in on aggressively shaming people for their back ass views, and if they don't like that, they can fuck off.
I know that's an emotional response that doesn't work in places like Congress, but fuck these people. The people writing laws against abortion don't care what the people have to say. There are very few politicians that actually listen to and represent their constituents. It's wasted effort to try and have a civilized debate on a topic like abortion with them, because they have already decided what they're going to do, and nothing any of us says will change it. If I can shame someone enough that they at least shut the fuck up, then that's at least something, because nobody that's entrenched in their abortion views are likely to change from one person's opinion. It's like Nazis prior to Trump. Clearly, they were always here, hiding in the woodwork waiting for their opening, and trump normalized it.
