this is why I cant just show up at your house, that you are living in, and start living there against your will, you can have me forcibly removed.

either the woman is strapped down to a table for 9 months, greatly violating her rights, or the offending fetus is removed, which is roughly equivalent to shooting a rat.


Are you suggesting a woman who gets pregnant is going to spend the rest of her life pregnant?

Maybe back in the 1800s, but we've had a few land reform acts since then, and are you suggesting that women just magically get pregnant out of the blue?

Are you suggesting all pregnancies are voluntary and made will full informed consent?
abortion is even one of the means to increase the likelihood of pregnancy.


Since when have pregnant women been strapped down on tables for nine months?

you are the one saying her rights to her body are forfeit. there are only two outcomes the fetus's rights are forfeit or the woman's are.

I seriously missed a memo on that one, and since when did rats develop into adult humans??????? Now, that stuffs seriously scary. :eek:

No, rape is unconsentual, other than that, a woman consents with the full knowledge that there exists a probability of pregnancy.

Her body is there before the pregnancy, it'll be there afterward, so no, there isn't. Your effectively saying, a foetus has rights, we'll just choose to ignore them because a foetus isn't any benefit to me now. There's a huge scale in the difference of completely eliminating a foetus which has the high probability of seeing some 70+ years of life so a woman can keep nine months of comfort. You still haven't told me when women are strapped down to tables for nine months, btw, and I've seen plenty of pregnant women moving about freely in, well, bodies.

Yes, and different species evolve between then and now. When you find a rat capable of understanding mathematics, tell me.

People can revoke consent, you know. If a woman is having sex consensually, can she not say "actually, I want to stop now. I no longer consent" or do you deny her that right?

Silly person, women don't have the right to choose when to have sex.

Not sure if it's oestrogen, but a woman's pregnancy can be prevented with hormones.

As I recall, there are 3 major hormones in play, and oestrogen can inhibit certain hormones that prepare the womb for a pregnancy.

That's not the part that's "what the fuck" worthy.

I have no clue what rape has to do with what I said.

Yes, she consents to sex. But not pregnancy. That's the fucking point.

The right to bodily sovereignty does exist, however, and that includes the right to do with your body what you will, including seeking an abortion to defend it from intruders.

No, rape is unconsentual, other than that, a woman consents with the full knowledge that there exists a probability of pregnancy.

probabilty =/= consent

being alive makes death probably, not committing suicide is not consent to homicide.
driving a car makes death more likely, this is not consent to death.


Her body is there before the pregnancy, it'll be there afterward, so no, there isn't.

so if I steal your car drive it around for a few weeks then drop it off back at your house, no crime has occurred?


Your effectively saying, a foetus has rights, we'll just choose to ignore them because a foetus isn't any benefit to me now.

not in the slightest, it has rights just as a dog has rights, its rights however do not include a right to use the organs of others against their will.


There's a huge scale in the difference of completely eliminating a foetus which has the high probability of seeing some 70+ years of life so a woman can keep nine months of comfort.

no it really does not. assuming no abortion happens it still has a less than 50% chance of reaching birth more less anything after that.


You still haven't told me when women are strapped down to tables for nine months, btw, and I've seen plenty of pregnant women moving about freely in, well, bodies.


but those women can also have an abortions if they wish, often in pill form.

Yes, and different species evolve between then and now.

and whats your point, both are potentialities, which so far has been your only justification.

When you find a rat capable of understanding mathematics, tell me.

rats have been shown to understand some mathematics in laboratory conditions.
when you find a fetus that understands mathematics tell me.

Which isn't consent to pregnancy. Why do you guys always fail to grasp this simple fact? If you leave your home, knowing full well the probability that someone could break into it and rob you, does this mean you consent to the robbery? If you leave your home and go driving, knowing full well the probability of someone else hitting you, do you consent to being hit?

Of fucking course not. But you don't care about that, do you? No, as long as you can make yourself feel superior and punish the ebul sluts, you don't care.

But no one is arguing that point! I think all of us agree that abortion is allowed only in times when there is rape, incest, or if the mother's life is at risk. If anyone is against this then please let me know.

No, because if he continues, it's rape.

Then she can naturally revoke consent to pregnancy, as you consider it an extension of sex. If you do not consider it an extension of sex, it must therefore be consented to separately, and abortions are okay.
