  • Accidentally getting pregnant then getting a abortion isnt the same as using abortion as a preferred birth control, like a doctor offering a implant and refusing it because "I prefer abortion" she didn't choose abortion as a form of birth control it is always the last resort.

    I know someone that chooses to use chemotherapy over sunscreen, they were to stupid to use sunscreen got cancer then had surgery- what this sounds like

    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.

  • But she didn't bother to use birth control in the first place, therefore she was irresponsible and then got an abortion. Very different from your analogy.

    You know, mushrooms, plants, bacteria - they're all living things too. And technically above the embryo in the "alive" scale. Do you think yourself a murderer when you pick up mushrooms? Or when you use antibiotics to purge the parasites that infected you? No. So drop from the moral high ground and educate yourself.

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

    Buddy, where did you learn that? A fetus doesn't become a baby till the last month of pregnancy, of course abortion is only permitted way way before you could talk about something that resembles a baby. You think the woman won't notice she's pregnant until the last month of pregnancy? Yeah, no.

    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.

  • Projecting yourself onto other people. Cute!

  • They have shown that the fetuses feel pain, the way they abort babies is by ripping their limbs apart and sucking them up with a vacuum, which is proven with several studies.

    But as you said (wisely)
    Nobody is going to change anyones mind, and it's not my business what anyone does, but I am pro-life.

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

    You are killing a human, how would you feel if your mom had you ripped up limb by limb and then sucked up in a vacuum?
    Humans are more advanced then mushrooms, plants, and bacteria. Do mushroom feel pain? Do bacteria have emotions? No. They are not that advanced, of course it's different. Tell me when a mushroom made a way for itself to fly to the moon.

    I tried to show some unbiased evidence, read this if you don't agree.

  • I am educated so don't tell me I'm not. Those things you just stated are necessary for for our survival. The medicine kills parasites that in turn are killing us. The mushrooms are just part of our diet. A human embryo is a whole other life. You're missing my point here.

    And what's your point? That by performing abortions the human race will go extinct? Well, no. Embryo is a whole other life? But so are mushrooms. So are bacteria. They're all living things. But there's nothing wrong with "killing" them. You want a more practical example? Okay, imagine a 16 year old girl that found out she's pregnant. She wasn't raped or anything but she's not exactly in a position to raise a child when she herself is still a child. She's not rich, her family struggles and the father of her future child ran away. She's faced with a choice. Terminate the pregnancy before the embryo becomes a living thing or the life of raising a baby in an extremely young age, failing school because of said baby, being thrown out on the street and eventually giving the baby to a care shelter (in the best scenario) or having to suffer through its death which eventually leads to her suicide, (worst scenario) or a ruined life of drugs, regret and misery. (I'm not saying that happens in every such case, but it's the most probable outcome) If you're telling me it's still worse to abort the pregnancy in its early stages then I have nothing more to say to you.

  • It's not the same because it's not even a baby, it's an embryo. It doesn't have thoughts or feelings, its gender isn't even chosen yet. It can't survive out of the womb as it is barely developed, so it's not the same as murder. I'd rather protect the life and well being of the mother than an embryo.

  • Except the fact that she'd still be pregnant, she'd still have to go through doctors appointments, pain, and ultimately childbirth, possibly endangering her life. Not to mention that there are so many children that are placed up for adoption already, yet another child that is brought into this world that practically no one wants. Just because the rates are supposedly climbing doesn't mean that every child is going to get adopted.

    I'll answer this because you aren't being obnoxious like some others on this thread (on both sides to be fair). I'll admit I'm not the biggest expert on the subject, I doubt anyone on this thread is, but from what I understand a fetus doesn't experience pain until around the 20 week mark as the nerves won't have developed enough until then. I feel like most would probably have gotten an abortion way before that point.

    Also these studies are very politically slanted as doctors of both sides will tell you different things so it just comes down to who you believe and you'll probably agree with whoever agrees with you.

    I suppose it comes to the point where some think it would be better to not have a life with suffering and not exist at all.
    I can understand your reasons. I guess we all do think differently.

  • Lmao are you even reading what I'm writing. The woman finds out she's pregnant as soon as the embryo starts growing and feeding off of whatever she eats. It's still killing a life.

  • No need to be rude. Also you don't seem to be reading what I'm saying. The belly isn't the only way to determine if your pregnant. All I'm saying is that the woman won't find out that she's pregnant until the embryo is already alive.

    Also, congrats on not being able to debate a political topic without pulling out insults and swears.

  • If men gave birth you'd be able to get abortions at the post office. If you're not a female, you have no opinion on this. I lol at all of the old white dudes in the US who believe they own this issue.

  • I'm referring to the living embryo inside of the womb. The woman won't be able to officially tell if she is pregnant until the embryo has a full on heartbeat and is developing from the mother.

  • Then females who have never been pregnant have no opinion either. Sorry, but I don't buy this "men can't talk about abortion" rubbish. I've never seen a pro-life person oppose abortion because they want to control women. They oppose it because they see it as legalised murder and I can understand that viewpoint. It's not about trying to control or oppressed women, it's about actively pushing back against that is, in their view, morally wrong.

  • Have you ever listened to a pro-life person? The contention is almost always that abortion is equivalent to murder.

    And your second point makes no sense. Who would go to such lengths to oppose something unless they actually believed it was wrong.

  • I don't think it should be a legal requirement to have the father sign off (especially if it is the result of rape or incest) but I think you're a grade A scumbag if you don't tell them.

    It's not just the woman's body in question, though, is it? There is a completely new human inside her body.

  • By what definition of "baby"? Many children are born far before a month before they should be born. Are they not considered "babies"?

  • The same argument could be made for a conventionally known murderer.

    "Is it your choice if they murder someone? No, it's the murderer'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?"

  • I think the father has a right to know unless there's a good reason why he shouldn't (such as being abusive or if the child was conceived through rape), because at the end of the day, it's his child too and the mother should at least listen to how he feels about the situation first.

    The problem with the father part is that we're not the ones going through months of pain and discomfort to bring the child into this world.

  • Not sure how else to explain this. In this hypothetical:

    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?

    is it or is it not okay to kill the newborn?

    "stillbirth is the birth of a baby who is born without any signs of life at or after 24 weeks of pregnancy."

  • That is not an accurate analogy. You wouldn't kill a baby just because it appeared to be stillborn for a couple minutes. It's honestly quite absurd to compare a healthy baby to an embryo. It's not your decision, it's the pregnant person's, and it's silly to compare an embryo to a functional human.
