Plus, the growth and development is very different. Don't compare mammals to birds. We don't pay eggs (well, not really). And we are the ones who support women's rights here, because abortion favors men. GA #286 forces nations to legalize abortion even in sex-selection abortion. Which is pretty common. And does anyone abort a son because it's a son? No. They abort girls, though, because it's harder for them to do manual work (and support the mother). Do you support that? Is that a woman's right? Also, I am laughing my, well, you know what off at your GMO comment, but" OOC: That's a topic for another for another thread.
IC: "I am fighting for actual human rights. I'm fighting for the rights of human beings, and even if they aren't technically alive, they still have the right to live, because they will be alive assuming you don't murder them."
"Maybe I should settle for a compromise: Anyone who supports abortion will not be allowed to reproduce. You see, when properly applied, these things can solve themselves when used properly."
That last bit was big in the news, but the ambassador in question has yet to apologize, or even address the matter.
I felt compelled to reply to this, first off, Chickens are very much conscious beings. The definition of conscious, if I remember correctly, is 'aware of and responding to one's surroundings; awake' and when you walk up to a chicken it's gonna run away. It's lay not pay. And how is denying a woman's right to choose what she does with her body and her unborn child for woman's rights? And who cares if it favors men? If a woman wants to get an abortion then let her get one. If she doesn't want one then she doesn't have to get one, it's her right to choose. And so it makes nations legalize it, just make it extremely difficult to get one. There easy fix. And yes I support that if a woman wants to abort a female but not a male that is her right. And how does that make any sense? So because I think women should be allowed to get an abortion I can't have biological kids? Also if you're so aginst murder I guess you stand up to police brutality and western war crimes, which are a, if not the, cause of terrorism across the world. I also suppose to are strongly against capital punishment and nation building. I've noticed that a lot of pro-life supports are also for the bombing runs in the middle east. And for 'Gay-concentration camps' which either kills teens or drive them to suicide year after year. If you are so against the "murder" of an unconscious being then I also expect you to be just as against the murder of your fellow conscious humans.
