I'm sorry but are you high right now?


I think in this aspect, you may be right. However, there is another side to this coin. Some spiteful women may also keep a baby for no other reason than to be a living, breathing "fuck you" that the man is going to have to pay child support for. Also, if laws are enacted that force women to carry a baby because the father wants it, it could open up women to a form of legal abuse.

I think there should be a trade-off here. The father should have a say in whether the baby is aborted. If the father explicitly says "I don't want any part of this baby, get rid of it or raise it alone" early in the legal abortion period, he should be absolved of any responsibility for it.

That's not a tradeoff; that's trying to make legal the "She's a slut, it ain't mine!" defense so neatly cut off by paternity tests.

Bodily autonomy. If it's a child and she doesn't want it there, she has a right to remove it when she damn pleases, because it's her body. If it isn't, there is no ethical issue.

The unborn child, who has rights independent of the mother, is a separate human being lying within the womb of the mother.

Embryos and fetuses are not persons and do not have rights.

I'm rather pro-choice if you want to know, but that wasn't an argument for or against abortion. It was a joke.

The futility of trying to imagine one's own non-existence isn't getting any chuckles I see. Tough crowd.

every fetus has an inalienable right, not to be born, into an overcrowded world, that has no place for it.
truth isn't what i say. isn't what you say. isn't what anybody says. truth is what is there, when no one is saying anything.

Hey, my right to life trumps your bodily autonomy.


False analogy. At fertilization, your right to bodily sovereignty has already been "violated", so to speak. A more accurate analogy would be a case where someone stole one of your kidneys and transplanted it into their body. Would you have the right to remove it, if you knew that it would kill them? I think it's clear that the answer is no.

WHy not? It's your kidney, they had no right to it in the first place, and if your remaining one fails, you could die.

The fetus wants nothing. The fetus knows nothing. The fetus is just there.

Infanticide at the age of 10 is in no way similar to the abortion of a fetus.

Fetuses represent possibilities, just like all the hundreds of thousands of eggs in a woman that have not been conceived and are possibilities.

Wireless keyboard. Higher frequencies can pass through human flesh.

It really has to be sterilized first, though.

Abortion is definitely morally right. A woman has every right to not be pregnant. She is allowed autonomy over herself, no matter whether what is inside her a tapeworm, kitten, crock pot, or Z/E/F. She has the right to become pregnant at anytime, given that she can find a partner willing to have condomless-sex with her or can afford to be inseminated, etc. She has every right to give birth, or to not give birth, to be pregnant or to not be pregnant.

Why? Because it's her damn body, not yours. It's her financial, emotion, mental situation, not yours. It's her vagina. You have no right to tell her that she MUST give birth, potentially ruin her financial situation, emotional well-being, mental health, and body. That's not your choice, it's hers. I do not give any shits about whether or not you think a Z/E/F is a human or a person. If someone shoved you up my ass, even by accident, I have every right to remove you, even if it means that you would die. It goes the same for if I was inside you.

And beyond that, do you know what forced birth is? It's slavery. To tell a woman, "Oh, you have a non-sentient, non-feeling, non-viable Z/E/F in your body, therefore you can't own your own body anymore" is slavery. That is slavery of millions upon millions of women and girls every year. It's taking her right to bodily autonomy and throwing it in the trash. It strips women of their rights, and it does nothing but hurt women, crime rates, the economy, families, etc.

Whenever you get pregnant, you make make your own choice. I made mine and so did millions upon millions of other women. And we're fucking thrilled to not be slaves to our rapists, boyfriends, husbands, one-night-stands, drunken-mistakes, etc.

No. What is truly evil is forcing a woman to give birth even when it endangers her own life.
This was formerly a signature. One day, it may return to its splendid past. In the meantime, enjoy some pictures of my cats.
