  • Killing a chicken to eat and killing a developing human are two very different things, but okay.

    I consider the chicken I am eating right now as something that was more of a living feeling thing than a little blob in someone's uterus. Re

    legalized murder of a baby embryo*

  • Yes it is killing. It is alive. It metabolizes and grows and has a heartbeat. So it's not just a "blob", it is a developing human that is already alive.

    IT'S NOT KILLING! IT'S NOT ALIVE! IT'S A FUCKING BLOBBY THING THAT IS NOT ALIVE! Don't get me wrong, i have nothing against babies. but i

  • Not really. Biologically speaking in regards to what is a new human life a fertilized egg fits the bill, sperm and ovum do not. Without intervention and under normal circumstances a developing fetus will grow into a 25 year old college graduate or what have you. Without intervention and under normal circumstances a sperm will not do that.

    There are distinct differences between a sperm and a growing fetus. There are differences between an embryo, growing fetus, and baby, but they are much more nuanced and, often, quite arbitrary.

    No shit sherlock! It's almost the same nonsense for comparing an embryo/early foetus to a human born, which a lot of people do in that thread.

  • I support it. A lot of people here are saying that it's wrong, but honestly, is it your choice? No, it's the pregnant person's choice, and who are you to tell them what's right and what's wrong? Are you the arbiter of what's morally just in this world?

    Here's something that I've previously written up to copy-paste on all discussions of abortion:

    What about women that were raped? What about women dying in the birthing process? What about women that can't afford the cost of children? What about women that still got pregnant even though they used contraception, considering contraception isn't 100% accurate? Or what about the fact that embryos don't have thoughts or feelings? They're not babies. Their gender isn't even chosen yet. It isn't murder, it's the woman's body and whatever her reason for having an abortion is, it is her choice overall. She's the one going to be stuck with the physical, emotional, and mental weights of having a child.

    What are your feeling on abortion?

    My body my choice. Noone else's period.

  • I like it how pro-life use "your mother could've aborted you" as an argument. If my mother aborted me, I simply wouldn't exist, so what's the problem? I never asked my parents to give birth to me. They decided so.

    Pro-"choice" is the most hypocritical position I've ever heard of. It's easy to be pro-"choice" because your mother "chose" not to murder yo

  • I support pro-choice. If I ever decide to have an abortion for some reason, I should have a right to do it. However, abortion is a very serious procedure that has major consequences to a woman's body and I'm absolutely against women who prefer to make an abortion instead of using protection. It's utterly stupid and reckless. You need to think twice before an abortion and try to avoid it. But when it comes to it and the woman is 100% sure, she mustn't be under pressure of society. It's her choice and her life.

    Plus, the solutions some pro-life suggest are just meaningless. Banning abortions, really? You do realise that it'll only cause illegal abortions that are extremely dangerous and might lead to death, right? If you really want to decrease the amount of abortions, try to support women in hard situations when they lose enough hope to make an abortion.

  • women who prefer to make an abortion instead of using protection

    no one uses abortion like that

    "Hey have you got a condom?"

    "No I just wait to see if I get pregnant then go through the lengthy and potentially costly process of organising a abortion while I become a hormonal wreck of acne, emotion and nausea " - literally no one, youve been reading to much pro life propaganda

  • I dont believe you

    Actually, I know someone who did just what you described.

  • Let the people have their choice. It's really just that easy.
    It is problematic indeed, because it is basically murder (because the unborn child is alive, or at least will/would be), but the mother will have a reason for her choice. And that reason has to be respected, otherwise we can not call ourselves a tolerant society.

  • Actually, it isn't. An embryo is not a baby nor a human being. It's just a bunch of cells that evolved from a sperm and an egg and will eventually evolve into a fetus.

    Baby, embryo, human, it doesn't matter. It's still killing a living thing that is inside of you

  • Yes it is. It doesn't matter what word you use, it's still killing a living thing.

  • Why not? I'm not fake lmao. I know someone who was too stupid to not use protection and she got pregnant. As soon as she found out she was pregnant, she got an abortion.

    I dont believe you

  • I said "early stage of pregnancy". DUH

    Yes it is killing. It is alive. It metabolizes and grows and has a heartbeat. So it's not just a "blob", it is a developing human that is already alive.

  • edited February 2017

    Buddy, the woman won't know that she's pregnant until the baby is actually alive with a heartbeat. So you still don't have an argument.

    I said "early stage of pregnancy". DUH

  • Depends on the circumstances such as rape and the condition of the woman while being pregnant.

  • exactly lmao such a fucking stupid argument.

    I like it how pro-life use "your mother could've aborted you" as an argument. If my mother aborted me, I simply wouldn't exist, so what's the problem? I never asked my parents to give birth to me. They decided so.

  • Damn, I'd hate it if someone else decided I am currently just a "cluster of cells" and discarded me.

  • A grown woman or a fetus/embryo, you really think there isn't a more important life to save there?

    I'd consider a grown woman more important than a fetus, let alone an embryo.

  • You're adding more than is needed.

    Of course you wouldn't kill a baby.

    I just want to make sure the point was made thoroughly, this baby is brain dead for the time being. It doesn't think, feel, see, hear, dream, or anything of the sort. You would still argue you shouldn't kill the baby?

  • If a baby is stillborn, the baby is stillborn. Nothing you really can do about that.

  • Yes, but you saying almost doesn't make it nearly as almost as you want it to.

    There isn't nearly as much absurdity between the two new human lives vs the new human life and the lone sperm.

    And Jesus, was that the internet equivalent of a major stutter?

  • . . . that's not what we're talking about.

    Hypothetically, say you have a newborn baby that is born brain dead, but in only 2 minutes brain activity will assuredly start up and he will continue to grow and develop like any other newborn. Would it be acceptable to kill him?

  • A very intelligent and convincing rebuttal.

  • THANK YOU!

    They shouldn't be allowed. They should give it up for adoption after birth. Everyone deserves a chance to live.

  • "Pro-"choice" is the most hypocritical position I've ever heard of. It's easy to be pro-"choice" because your mother "chose" not to murder you, which she had a legal right to do as long as you were in her belly. Let's get rid of this "choice" crap and admit that abortion is legalized murder of a baby."

    Amen. Aborting a baby is the same as murder.
