Hahaha. Life ailments vs 9 months. I would take the simulation gladly.

The real question is would you prefer to have neither if you could.

If you actually had empathy instead of this strange and misplaced desire for vengeance, then you would wish women weren't forced to suffer.
Oh any my medical treatments dont infringe a growing humans rights to life.

Neither do abortions.

Again, your condition means about jack and shit to this matter at hand and also gives you no authority to force a woman to do something with her body against her will.

Again no point in discussing who is in greater pain thing, you are able to get medical treatment for you illnesses, similarly she is able to get medical treatment for her pregnancy, namely abortion. Both of you are able to get medical treatment.


I bring this up to say her medical treatements infringe a growing humans rights mine don't. Although an abortion can be used for good you must agree they can be used for wrong things. just like my medicine can. Do you see what i'm aiming at.

Yet her rights infringe those of a future human. People honestly need to learn other methods of sex and how to harness contrceptives properly.

No I still do not. Abortion when done correctly (ie when the mother desires and when it is safe for her to do so) is being used for good. Her rights do not infringe on the rights of the fetus.

The distinction is irrelevant anyway.

Kinda wish people would cut it out with the humanity/personhood/living thing... it isn't really pertinent to the debate...

This has been said numerous times. it's rights end where they impose on hers.

Because contraception always works even when properly used, and people should be forced to have sex in particular ways.

Most of the time, but there are rare exceptions. For instance women can gain a lot of weight due to changes in diet or other things that can hide the pregnancy. Some women also carry the pregnancy differently, so that they do not look pregnant. Since some women also have sporadic periods, or for other reasons think they cannot become pregnant (ie they are taking the pill) it can be missed. There was a show about it.

That's true, I watched a show once where this woman started giving birth and she thought it was just a really bad poop. True story.

If I'm not mistaken, once the fetus is viable, if the person who is pregnant wants to get rid of it, they enduce early labor and she basically gives birth like usual. So, like, ""aborting"" a fetus (the way we're conditioned to think of an abortion) this late into development isn't even really a thing.

No. "Human" is an adjective in the former, and a noun in the latter. You wouldn't consider a kidney a human, but you would call it human.

And yes, that analogy is valid. Neither a fetus nor a kidney are full humans, but they're both composed of human tissue and, wait for it, part of a human being.

Except in the fetus's case, it can only be part of a woman's body, and for limited durations, and it usually causes illness as opposed to occasionally.
