Probably because the fact that it's another country doesn't mean it's not the exact same issue....


probably

but since abortion is only legal to 10 weeks its not the same issue that we have in the US.

then there is the whole very interesting cesearean delivery thing. thats quite a different issue.
whatever

If the fetus originated in a bathtub or a meadow of daisies, sure, it has a right to remain there. But it originates in a woman's body, and has no right to use another person's body against their will, whether or not it will cause harm. No one and nothing has any right to anyone's body ever, for any purpose.

Oh, so now we're going to use an unfalsifiable idea as knowable as a three headed invisible pony as a signifigant factor in an issue like pregnancy.

Through a contract, I assume...
Mind if I see the copy of that contract of temporal lease of uterus between women and foetus?

The more you discuss, the more you get closer to the solution. I'm against any restriction on women's body but the both sides seem to make some sense so I enjoy reading them.
I don't see how economic inefficiency and a resulting rise in poverty makes any sense; even less so when you criminalize people for following human nature and having sex for recreation, and alternatively forcing women to bear children from rape (or forcing rape victims to be married to their rapists) is just as morally abhorrent as the act of rape itself. :meh:

Every woman who allows a penis inside her knows that she may get pregnant. Consent to sex is consent to the possibility of pregnancy.

Everyone who steps outside their home knows that they may get hit by a car, raped, or murdered. Consent to getting out of your house is consent to all those things.

The soul of a person has desires.


A soul is related to laws in what way? A soul is a religious concept and laws should not be related to religion. A soul should have no bearing on the rights of someone to terminate something within themselves. A soul is not something that can be used in politics, science, laws, etc. in a place where so many conflicting beliefs exist. Saying that also essentially means that if someone has a soul you are not allowed to kill them.

Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Jainists(if there are any left...), Pagans(Nordic, Egyptian, Greek, Roman pagans... I know some people who follow said belief system/believe in said gods), etc. They all have different views on souls. IN somewhere like the United States, they all exist, and they all deserve equality. To make a law based of a primarily Christian/Jewish/Islamic belief is to ignore a lot of others. In Turkey, I am not sure of the religious percentages, but it is still ignorant of their leader to do something like this when there are at least people who do not believe in said beliefs in said country.

Of course abortion is an issue outside of the US! In most countries there are pro-life and pro-choice positions. In Colombia for example, even with more than three quarters of the population being against abortion, the Supreme Court decided to make it legal. The country's largest political parties are against abortion (Conservatives and the National Unity Party). Most of the other parties are pro-choice (Liberals, Democratic Pole, Greens).

The last pro-choice president left in 1998, but any other president has been able to make it illegal again. Not even the congress has been able to do so, as a minority in the National Unity Party is pro-choice. That's why abortion is becoming one of the main concerns of the conservative party.

Consenting to the possibility of pregnancy is not the same as consenting to becoming pregnant, let alone carrying to term.

The notion that a woman must donate her uterus for a clump of cells to develop into a baby she must deliver is pretty fucking stupid.
