you can't force someone to carry a baby they don't want.

Crazy how many irresponsible women there are.

I like how you people suddenly give a damn about the alternatives when the adoption agencies are underfunded, under staffed and often over stuffed with kids nobody wants. So what you people are going to cause are more people to grow up without a place to go or be anything but a homeless person and or criminal. What the hell kind of life is that to live?

On this point, I think once technology has advanced that we can grow a fetus in an artificial womb, we will see a sharp drop in abortion.

I agree. it seems like the most elegant solution so long as we have a strong support system that can provide for the children who don't get adopted
I also wonder if there will be women who get shamed for choosing to grow their child in an artificial womb but still want to raise it once it's born

Abortion is being responsible, the system doesn't have to pay for a kid nobody wants and a kid doesn't have to live a life of suffering. But Republicans don't care about that, they care about punishment and pretending they give a shit about the sanity of life never mind that once that life is born they go back to blaming the kid or telling the kid to blame their parents for their fucked up life.

What a joke.

Why do you keep trying to set aside rights for those with personhood?

Unborn babies have personhood. One could say you're the one denying people's personhood.

Asherlee10 posted...
A child is a person, a fetus does not have personhood (usually because of viability), therefore does not have the same rights as someone with personhood status (men, women, children).

Viability has never been an argument for whether it is ok to kill someone.

When my uncle was diagnosed with ALS, my aunt had to devote a lot of time, and higher insurance premiums, to take care of him. Could she kill him because he was a burden on her and he wasn't "viable"?

maybe so, that doesn't mean we get to revoke their bodily autonomy just so we can feel morally superior. They're human beings, not baby incubators.

I always wonder how many women regret abortions and what it does to them psychologically.

I've seen what miscarriage can do to a woman it's pretty sad.

I just wish they would educate woman prior to just thinking it's not a big deal flushing your baby down the toilet.

This isn't a good argument when a lot of people who are pro-choice also support universal healthcare. There would be no additional burden if we had that.

They do. There's a reason there's a 24 hour window between mandatory consultation.
For some women, they feel the pain of the abortion for the rest of their lives. For others, they never think of it.
For most it's somewhere in between.

Abortion isn't really comparable to a miscarriage. In one they chose to end the pregnancy, in the other they were actively trying and suffered because of it.
It's why killing a pregnant woman can be a double homocide, intent and context matter.

One is a developed human who can survive outside of the womb (sometimes with medical assistance), the other is not a developed human who cannot survive outside of the womb, even with medical assistance and does not have the same rights as the mother (for good reason).

A newborn baby also can't live without it's mother (or surrogate). It's well-documented that babies need human contact or they run a serious risk of dying.

Hell some kids can't survive without their mom until they're into their 30's. Your distinction seems pretty ad hoc.

How are your posts getting stupider?

That's the secret.

I really doubt early abortions get people that emotional. It'd be like mourning the stuff you find on a used tampon.

you guys are drama queens honestly.

It's surprising that the question of personal responsibility arises so often in a conversation where the main concern is supposedly about murder.

It would be like if, when talking about actual murders, we were also weirdly hung up about them properly sanitizing their murder weapons.

Just kind of makes it seem like "murder" is more of a buzzword in this case than a serious thought. Or perhaps it results from the argument's inability to convince that people feel compelled to drudge up the question of responsibility in its place.

No, I don't think it is because I've seen the history you've had on CE. This isn't some baseless claim. You weren't this unreasonable in the past.

Diego threw his hands in the air when he was challenged.


Lol. No. You believe women have rights to kill babies. Even if you disagree that fetuses wont become babies, you are still a cold and callous person to believe this is ok.

But again, you do you. There will be an abundance of abortions today and I know this pleases you. There will be thousands of irresponsible women impregnated today as well. Theyll get their abortions and you can celebrate.

I frankly don't see how it's unreasonable to accept that there's no compelling difference between a fetus and a newborn. Both are humans, neither are fully developed, both need others to survive, and both exist through no fault of their own. Only one though do people make the case that it's ok to kill, and frankly the reason seems to have more to do with denial for convenience's sake and less to do with hard-line distinctions.

Anyway, I don;t want to give the wrong impression, I actually do think abortion should be legal for practicality's sake. At the end of the day, you can't ban something that a lot of people want, like alcohol, drugs, or guns. I just find abortion to be especially reprehensible.

But again, the purpose of this topic is to point out that Roe v Wade being overturned will not bad abortion across the country, so people should stop flipping out.

She did have the right to, for instance, divorce him and let him take care of himself or find other arrangements. And if he died because of that, we wouldn't say she murdered him.

What would the analogy be for that action with respect to abortion? How does the woman decide she doesn't want a fetus for the next several months? If there were a procedure that allowed her to remove the baby without directly killing it, but that removal lead to it dying, are you going to say that that would be okay?

Nah abortion is about killing and finding away out of responsibility.

Not getting pregnant would be the reposnisble part.

The reason this happened in the first place is because they couldn't trust the states and rightfully so, when states are controlled by a certain amount of people why should those people be able to force everyone in their states to live as they live? It's ridiculous, might as well do away with overall government together and let the states all be their own country, who needs those rulings on women's right to votes, basic education and discrimination suits, surely we can trust the states on all of that?

Abortions being ugly has no relevance to the argument.

Abortions are either a reasonable accommodation in our society, or they aren't. How ugly the process is has no bearing on that question.
