Why doesn’t the Left view abortion though the prism of oppressor/oppressed?

The Left is known for framing arguments based on the status of whether a person is oppressed or the oppressors.
With the Palestinians and Jews, the Jews are the oppressors and the Palestinians are the oppressed, so they must be defended.
With transgenderism, the trans person is being oppressed by all those who view it as abnormal.
When it comes to black crime, the black criminal is the oppressed and the police are the oppressors.
With illegals immigration, the immigrants are the oppressed and the citizens, the oppressors.
We could go on and on.
But when it comes to the topic of abortion, we have a vulnerable
child who didn’t asked to be conceived and is totally at the mercy of its mother, not being viewed as the oppressed?
Clearly, if anyone is being oppressed, it’s a child in the womb who is denied life by its oppressor mother.
Not only is she the babies oppressor, but she is his/her judge, jury and executioner if she chooses the path of abortion.
We should force to Left to live consistently by their own ethos.

Intersectionality is a Marxist ploy. It isn't really about oppressor versus oppressed it's about seizing power, a means to an end. Unborn babies can't vote or give you money therfore they have no value to a leftist. It really is that simple.

They do! But to abortion proponents, women are being oppressed by being denied the agency to terminate their pregnancies. I’m not arguing that this is the logical way to view it, just sharing their viewpoints.

The Lefties push victimhood every chance they get, particularly when directed at issues supported by white, Christian Republicans. It is selective and doesn’t have to make sense.

They do. The women are their oppressed and the men are their oppressors.

The disagreement is such a simple one. We, who are opposed to abortion, think the fetus is a human child. They think it is not yet a human being.

It’s puzzling given the eugenic-racist roots of abortion. And the disproportionate amount of Black babies murdered. Sad.

Devil’s advocate here - an embryo/zygote/ clump of cells is not a “child” and therefore cannot be “oppressed.”

That's why they dehumanize the unborn (fetus, blob of cells, tissue). Easier to not care about them as humans.

Just like the same people did during slavery

Child sacrifice is a sacrament in their godless religion of self.

They do. The poor mother is oppressed by the baby inside her. She must abort so she can go on whoring without using birth control. It's HER TRUTH!

They do. They just don't view the baby as part of the equation. They view it as evil white men trying to stop a woman from doing what she wants.

Because Moloch says it’s not really killing if you give it to him.
