I think past a point it needs to be illegal (as it currently is), and should only be allowed if the mother was raped or is at risk of dying during childbirth. Otherwise, too bad. Put it up for adoption and let a gay couple have it or something.

I do support mandatory sterilization for certain people though. For instance, I think in order to collect welfare, it should be mandatory, as well as if you've ever had children put in foster care or born with objectively irresponsible defects (like FAS).

Nah. You have to be born (or hatched?) to be alive. We don't add nine (or four or five) months to people's ages.

Frankly if I did think they were alive I would have to be anti-choice because ultimately I care more about preventing deaths than I do about people's independence. It's why I'm against assisted suicide too.

But fetuses don't matter.


So you're saying fetuses are undead?

I'm saying it's not a fully formed being. At best it's a parasite entirely dependent on the nutrients that the mother intakes, so maybe you could argue it's an extension of the mother, like an arm. But I don't support arm rights either, and the fetus isn't even a helpful ambulatory mechanism that would be a pain to lose. Hell, if I wanted to I could make the argument that even after birth up to a few months it wouldn't really matter but that's more shaky and doesn't have the clean separation of before and after birth, so for classification purposes that's easier.

Those on the wrong side of history often tend to dehumanize the victims.

Again, I'm legally pro choice, despite my moral objections, but the whole 'it's just tissue' argument to me is questionable.

lol. You're going to talk to me about dehumanizing?

I don't care if it's not human. I would object to killing a kangaroo or a spider-monkey, and I'm not even a fan of killing plants. It frustrates me to no end that I require living organisms of any kind to be destroyed for my continued survival. But there's a distinction between not human and not alive.

I don't care about people who are brain-dead but kept on life-support either, because they're already dead. Sad but a waste of resources. Let's focus on the living. The only thing I care about is keeping people currently alive from dying. The only thing. It's what my entire morality is built on.

Women should be allowed to abort no matter what. It's their body.

By definition a fetus is a parasite. Parasites are alive.

So you're proposing that women should have castle doctrine in their womb and be allowed to kill any and all tresspassers?

When it's early enough, such as the first few months? No more than having a period. For the few months after that? Yeah, you're ending a life, but then you have life's gray area where you have to weigh the one life against others, as in whether or not carrying the baby to term would negatively impact the mother's physical health (note that I did not say social, mental, emotional, or spiritual well-being, though a case MIGHT be made with mental health depending on the circumstance).

It's trespassing, unless it has your permission to be there.

Human life only has value starting at consciousness, IMO. I still don't think abortion should be used willy-nilly though. Outside of rape or health risks (mother or baby), I'm generally opposed.

If your not prepared to take care of a new being, ensure it does not suffer etc, then abort it asap.

Population control should be our primary goal at this point, and any children should be cherished and given a good life.

Because they aren't - In Ohio they recently introduced a bill even in the cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/03/20/595211551/ohio-gop-introduces-bill-to-ban-abortion

I don't think you even know what murder means. Also that second sentence is bullshit.

That will get thrown out since abortion is federally legal.

The point was more that not all pro-lifers support abortion in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother's life is in danger, not speaking to how far the bill will go itself.

I feel the discussion on whether or not abortion is murder is a pointless one; different people will always have different views. A better argument should be, "Is it abusive to carry a child to term if you have no means to care for said child?"

Those who are "pro life" don't care what happens to the baby after it's born. all they care is that the baby is born. That baby could be born into abuse, drugs, poverty, and a horrible life, but the "pro life" crowd really don't care.

A friend of mine works for the state of washington, as a case worker who provides assistance to families with children like this. It's really sad, a lot of children are covered in feces and piss, or some of them are hyper violent and the parents are afraid of the children. My friend was even assaulted by an oversized 13 year old with severe anger issues .

Many of these children have no future, and will just end up homeless and possibly kill people in the future, or live a life of even more abuse. Many of these mental or developmental issues can be discovered before birth.
