I don't really care about the whole debate but I'm definetly pro choice. You want to get a abortion? Go ahead idgaf not like the worlds hurting for population. Comparing it to murder is a emotional response I can't relate to


Its not an emotional response if you believe the fetus is alive.

It's an emotional response because you let your belief (itself an emotional response) guide it.


Hate to tell you this, but there's really no other way to handle this. You are saying the argument that works best for your side, but you are basing it on your own belief that it is NOT alive


I personally care less about whether or not it is alive than its level of consciousness/self-awareness. You can try to argue that newborns aren't all the conscious or self-aware, and you have already stated the fact that no one remembers their infancy, so I'll acknowledge that now to save you the trouble of restating it. You say that where life truly begins is a complex issue and it is yes, and I think any reasonable person wouldn't draw that line any later than birth, so the memory argument is moot. The problem I have with the anti-abortion group is they call it back at the moment of conception which to me is as logically unreasonable as time of birth/post birth (which no one should be claiming). Where in between is complex and not fully understood and we agree on that. It's just that in atypical cases, such as rape, incest, terminal defect, mother in grave danger etc., I would always logically side with the person who is already confirmed alive and has spent time living. I don't see cause to side differently in normal, simple cases for no other reason than to side with that which may or may not be alive but is yet to have the capacity to know what being alive means.

Does TC know that pro choice =/= pro abortion. There are many of us who are pro choice but don't like abortion as well, we just believe it should be an option and legal because the pros outweighs the cons. Bodily autonomy is always important because you enter a very dangerous path the moment someone loses the right to their body *coughsharialawcough*

Also people who use the argument for foster care, do you guys know what happens to a kid once they hit 18? Kicked out with only so many money in their pocket with a crappy ass job. Not every kid put into the system gets adopted. Your chances of getting adopted only get worst with every day/year passing.

Exactly. Unless you're a healthy and white newborn, your odds are pretty abysmal. Over the age of like five, you can statistically bank on not getting adopted.

Note the statistically part before anyone comes blubbering in about how their family adopted an eight year old Chinese girl. Outlier. Look it up.

Im sorry that the pro-life people only care about the child until birth and then dont care. Because they think our s***ty and underfunded adoption/foster care system can burden the children when they already cant.

They actually don't. They'd happily make an exception for rape and then act like it's all merry and then forget that the supposed child they're clamoring for got "murdered".
They only want to spite people who carelessly have sex and it's just a remnant of the anti-sex before marriage idea that religion has embedded in us.

There is nothing wrong with having sex, just TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND HAVE THE CHILDREN YOU CREATE WITH IT

As I said I find it a complicated issue. It seems so wrong to me to abort a baby because of circumstances outside of its control, but it also seems wrong to me to be forced to bear a child that is not her fault, and rape is outside of her control as well. I agree though it is tough. In that situation you have two lives, neither of which made a decision, both of which who are going to have to suffer for forces outside of their control. I guess that's what makes it different from me.

Like you said if its the mothers life or the babies, or if the mother did not do anything that could reasonably expect pregnancy, you have to choose one, and I kind of understand even though it seems rough.

Its only when the womans own decisions led to the baby that I think that she has made her choice and I dont feel guilty prioritizing the babies life. In my opinion, if you have sex you are consenting to the consequences. Man or woman. And this is legally recognized in child support

The question of personhood is, indeed, a difficult one to address.

But it's arguable that personhood is truly the key issue when it comes to abortion.

I mean, if you are unable to reliably, emotionally and financially support a child, like most people who have abortions, aborting it IS the responsible choice. And don't say adoption when the foster system is already crowded and corrupt.


Exactly this. And responsibility is a whole different argument than "child's life".

Yes, the people free to do whatever they want with their bodies are the repressed ones. Not the ones unable to have sex until marriage.

Nope, total freedom there!

You fail to see this from the pro-life perspective though. You fail to see that from the pro-life perspective, to people who believe life starts before birth, you are saying that murder is the responsible choice. You are saying that if you cant support a child its ok to create one and then kill it.

To me, who believes a baby is a baby before the moment of birth, it sounds like you're saying its ok to have babies, but then if you cant support them you can just kill them later. You would find this appalling with newborn babies but you don't see how to a pro-lifer this is equally appalling.

and you seem to think wildly having sex and getting abortions is ok. Which is just...what?

Nobody ever said women cant have sex! They just said women cant have sex and then abort the baby. And obviously this would go for men too but men are not typically a part of the abortion discussion.

But it's ok to murder an "innocent baby" just so someone doesn't have to bear it if it's not "her fault". Yeah, this is why we shouldn't be looking at it from a pro-life's perspective. Because they are emotionall, illogical and anti-reality. It's like people campaigning for the rights of sex dolls.

Is this a serious question? Because they're morons. This is even more reason why abortion is a good thing. Idiots shouldn't be reproducing.

I agree this is a tough question. But there's nothing emotional about this. Or at least no more than it should be. Would you not be just as emotional if we were talking about newborn babies? I mean, here's my question. Do you believe a woman who cannot care for a baby who was just born, and cannot give that baby a new life...should she have the right to murder it? remember that this baby wil have a horrible life if it lives. The foster system cannot support it. The woman cannot support it. Would it not be illogical to keep it alive? IF not, how is it different, besides that IN YOUR OPINION, a fetus is not considered 'alive' until it is born?

If the newborn baby is suddenly incapable of leaving the mother's body and continues to stay and use up her nutrients, yes she has the right to forcibly remove it even if that kills it.

I'm for less people being born period. The moment someone is born they are immediately susceptible to suffering without having a choice in the matter (since you can't consent to being born). Even just sitting in a room where nothing could harm you, a person would eventually become bored and hungry. But you can never guarantee that no harm would come to a child, because in order to live in a society you have to interact. Interacting always comes with some sort of risk since you never know what may happen. Not to mention if you got the short end of the stick with your genetics and your own body starts deteriorating from some sort of disease.

Doesn't mean that there aren't happy moments, but they are always fleeting since no one is happy everyday all the time. My current life is decent and I have all my basic needs met, but that can easily go downhill quickly if I don't continue working or my health suffers. And it's not like I'm working because I'm enjoying it, though there are some good moments, I do it because it's required to live. Work is mostly just mundane and stressful, which the vast majority of jobs are and what you'll spend most of your life doing.

So I don't see the point in bring more people in this world, and I definitely don't see eye-to-eye with pro-life people, although with a different reason than most. Even if you could guarantee a rich and purposeful life full of happiness there's no way to prevent death. Regardless of what religion promises people, no one knows for sure what happens after death since the only way to confirm is to actually die. A person who isn't born doesn't have to experience any suffering, and of the opinion that's the better choice.

Like seriously, it's ridiculous to discount an argument as being about 'emotion'. Of course its about emotion. Maybe the problem is youre too...emotionless? There is no real law that says what is right and what is wrong, we have to decide that for ourselves.

It isn't a difficult argument to me, women should have the right to an abortion. We can't use organs from dead bodies unless the person consented before they died but we can tell someone that they have to let a parasite(and yes, by definition a fetus is a parasite) occupy their body for 40 weeks? Doesn't make sense.

lmao what kind of first grader's question is this? Yes, it harms society and and is one of the key things needed for a civilized society not to turn into chaos. An official operation with the agreement of everyone involved harms no one except a brainless fetus with no sentience.

I won't accept any argument regarding human morality (and especially our laws) that's founded in an emotional response.

I want them to be measured decisions where the pros and cons of the actions and their results are carefully weighed.

No, you see pro-lifers can "really feel" it is a precious life and that's okay. But if a SJW "really feels" something, then they are being snowflakes that think their fee fees matter.

This is complete BS. There are tons of laws based on emotional reactions to what is right and wrong. Its like you said. If a woman cannot support a baby and the foster care system is so bad, should she be allowed to murder her newborn? Most I assume would say no, though this is an emotional response to what we believe is right and wrong. By most of the people's logic in this topic she'd actually be doing him a favor, but still most would not support this.

I don't really care about the whole debate but I'm definetly pro choice. You want to get a abortion? Go ahead idgaf not like the worlds hurting for population. Comparing it to murder is a emotional response I can't relate to


Its not an emotional response if you believe the fetus is alive.

It's an emotional response because you let your belief (itself an emotional response) guide it.


Hate to tell you this, but there's really no other way to handle this. You are saying the argument that works best for your side, but you are basing it on your own belief that it is NOT alive


I personally care less about whether or not it is alive than its level of consciousness/self-awareness. You can try to argue that newborns aren't all the conscious or self-aware, and you have already stated the fact that no one remembers their infancy, so I'll acknowledge that now to save you the trouble of restating it. You say that where life truly begins is a complex issue and it is yes, and I think any reasonable person wouldn't draw that line any later than birth, so the memory argument is moot. The problem I have with the anti-abortion group is they call it back at the moment of conception which to me is as logically unreasonable as time of birth/post birth (which no one should be claiming). Where in between is complex and not fully understood and we agree on that. It's just that in atypical cases, such as rape, incest, terminal defect, mother in grave danger etc., I would always logically side with the person who is already confirmed alive and has spent time living. I don't see cause to side differently in normal, simple cases for no other reason than to side with that which may or may not be alive but is yet to have the capacity to know what being alive means.


As I said I find it a complicated issue. It seems so wrong to me to abort a baby because of circumstances outside of its control, but it also seems wrong to me to be forced to bear a child that is not her fault, and rape is outside of her control as well. I agree though it is tough. In that situation you have two lives, neither of which made a decision, both of which who are going to have to suffer for forces outside of their control. I guess that's what makes it different from me.

Like you said if its the mothers life or the babies, or if the mother did not do anything that could reasonably expect pregnancy, you have to choose one, and I kind of understand even though it seems rough.

Its only when the womans own decisions led to the baby that I think that she has made her choice and I dont feel guilty prioritizing the babies life. In my opinion, if you have sex you are consenting to the consequences. Man or woman. And this is legally recognized in child support


To be fair, being created and being born are outside of its control as well. I'm personally not grateful that I was forced to exist, and I don't believe that I would have "suffered" had I been aborted, and in the event I had been, it is my objective opinion that my biological mother would not have done anything wrong had she chosen to go that route. Subjectively, I wouldn't have known what was going on and would just simply have not acquired consciousness to begin with, so any existence I had before gaining the ability to be aware of my existence would have been irrelevant.

No, it's not BS.

Yes, there exist laws that are based on emotional reactions. That, however, has nothing to do with what I said. Which is that laws should not be based on emotional reactions.

mean, if you are unable to reliably, emotionally and financially support a child, like most people who have abortions, aborting it IS the responsible choice. And don't say adoption when the foster system is already crowded and corrupt.


Im tired of hearing this. Do you know what real responsibility is? Not having sex if you know you cannot take care of the responsibilities that could potentially arise from it. You dont go out and buy a luxury sport supercharged Mercedes Benz if you make $15/hr because once the engine blows you dont have $12,000 to replace. No idiot buys that car on a factory worker wage. Likewise, if youre not financially ready for a baby, maybe you shouldnt be doing something that could potentially create a baby? Hurr derr dumb asses of the world go ahead and argue against this.

People have sex for pleasure. Get used to it. This isn't whatever nonexistent year you're from.

You should pay for your own pleasure. No one gives me a Mercedes payment because I want to indulge in the luxury of a car.

You can pay for unwanted children to not exist or you can pay for a bunch more poor families, mistreated children, and dead women. Pick your poison. Wishing for people to stop having sex is like wishing for world peace.

From a utilitarian standpoint, abortion is a no brainer to support. But no, people care about shoving their religion on people and teaching responsibility lessons, to their own detriment.

It seems that the question of abortion would come down to when is the thing inside of you a baby? That's a SUPER COMPLICATED QUESTION. There is no answer. Its EXTREMELY philosophical and hard to nail down.


Nope. Not hard at all.

Its not a person or even close to one till there is brainwave activity.

After that point, the argument gets stickier. Before that, its literally a zygote.

A tumour.

A parasite.

Wowweegeewillickers, all finnagered out!

Waaaaaaahhhhhhhhh personal responsibility... waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh intercourse is the same as impulse-buying a luxury vehicle waaaaaaaaaahhhh waaaahhhhhhhh no fallacy in my argument even though I specifically say people making $15/hr can't afford said car but yet in my scenario they have already purchased it wtf lol waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh and I have the nerve to 'hurr durr' even though I'm literally making a 'hurr durr' argument myself waaaaaaaahhhh waaaahhhhhhhhh waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh

So... are you saying that if you pay for sex, conception can't occur?

Human life means nothing. Never has, never will because we only care about our immediate selves no matter how much we pretend not to.

As far as I'm concerned an abortion can take place any time before it leaves the body as long as it is safe to do so for the woman.
