Abortions and recent laws related to it have always been followed by a heated debate. It divided people and made them choose between “pro-life” and “pro-choice” or “pro-reproductive rights” and “anti-abortion”. After Texas implemented an anti-abortion law on September 1st, 2021, people became even more vocal about this issue, stressing what really is at stake in this case. One of the TikTok users @drq_dpt made a video accentuating what should change in the system after a fetus is recognized as a baby. This TikTok soon became viral with more than 400k views inviting people to discuss this matter further.

These two viewpoints draw a very strict line between what people believe is the right thing to do in case of unwanted pregnancy. Those who choose “pro-life” are known to be concerned about the well-being of a new life, not taking into account that the woman who is carrying the fetus would not be able to raise and take care of the newborn. Their main argument is that even at the very early stage, the fetus is already alive and has the right to live. “Pro-choice” supporters think that women are the ones in this case who have the right to have the final say. There are numerous situations when an abortion is needed in order to save a woman’s life.

Quozette Valera who is a pelvic floor physical therapist shared her thoughts on TikTok about the anti-abortion law and how things should change so that both, the fetus and woman, would be well. One of the most important parts of the debate is whether the fetus should already be counted as a live human being. Having this in mind, the TikTok user presented some of the possible implementations in case the fetus is considered to be a baby.

She started her video by suggesting there should be a life insurance policy that would entitle women who had a miscarriage to receive insurance. While applying her makeup, she also added that with this implementation, having 6 miscarriages would then make her a millionaire. Quozette suggested that if a fetus is a baby, then child support should also start not from the moment the baby is born, but right after the pregnancy is confirmed. She then goes on with a few more examples of how things should change once the fetus is treated like a baby.

The TikTok user ended her video by saying “But now because a fetus isn’t a baby, you just want to control a woman’s reproductive rights”. A lot of people in the comments agreed with the creator, stating that it is easy to demonstrate one’s morals, but it takes time and recourse to actually make these things happen.
