Its clear that a human comes from another human, you don't just pop out this tumorous thing that looks like a human. That thing was developed from the action of two people who consented to sex.
I am obligated to a fetus, because its human, and will develop into a sentient being within less than a year.

Wrong. Yu are not obligated to the fetus. There is no logical reason you should be.

What the fuck? Okay, so why don't we mandate that every sexual session result in pregnancy? I mean, that's the only reason humans have sex anyway. Right?

What the fuck is wrong with all of you? Why do you think that the mother should have the authority to play god and decide weather or not her child has a right to live? Every single person and fetus on planet earth has a right to live. It's just you Pro-Choice people who want to justify taking a fetus's life before it even begins. What is wrong with you!?

Except not. When you step out of your house, you do not immediately consent to getting struck by lightning. Similarly, consent to one thing, sex, is not consent to another, pregnancy.

I personally equate having a child unwillingly to torture, potentially for the child as well as the mother if the child is not adopted, and the odds of a child not being adopted are perishingly slim. Abortion before the fetus is capable of feeling anything is more ethical than torture. Torture is illegal, by the way.


Oh! I see my mistake, sorry XD!!!!!

I meant to say I am PRO-ABORTION! :blush: not anti-abortion.

Sorry, sometimes I type too fast :p

Yay! Although the correct wording is pro choice, as pro abortion implies that you are in favor of arbitrarily aborting fetuses whose mothers want to have them, which is one argument that pro life supporters use to attempt to smear people who are pro choice

Does ND even have any practicing abortionists in it? I could swear I'd read somewhere that North Dakotans wanting an abortion had to go out of state to get it ... could be wrong or outdated, of course.

And hell, why do you need two Dakotas anyway? You've got a spare, you can sell this one to the Chinese.

Slavery wasn't illegal, too, up until a few hundred years ago. Same went for putting Jews into concentration camps. Don't pull the "if not illegal, then not a crime" card on me. Just as slavery is wrong and genocide is wrong, so is abortion.

Oh and, I am sorry, but abortion is illegal now, at least in North Dakota, therefore its a crime under the law. Same goes for Ireland and several other countries.

:lol2: I swear to you I also thought I had made my message clear! xD I mean I do honestly believe abortion bans are wrong, because I come from a country where abortions are banned. It is a BAD idea, absolutely bad, and if people think it is cool to force women to be pregnant they should go to El Salvador or Honduras or even Colombia where abortions are illegal, they'll find out soon enough why the US doesn't need these draconian policies on women.

It isn't even 100% sure that a fetus will be.

It is the product of sexual reproduction. its rights should be protected. I believe [which holds little weight] the right to life overrides the right to bodily sovereignty in the case of pregnancy wherein both parties were consenting.

It is not that I hate woman, I just don't agree that they should be able to abort something that will likely develop into a human in around 9 months.

No, let me clarify currently ABORTION IS NOT ILLEGAL IN NORTH DAKOTA the governor still hasn't signed off the bill and other procedures need to take place!

And what's wrong with you? You want to condemn every woman who has a pregnancy develop from sex to nine months of increasing pain and discomfort, followed by an intensely painful and (rarely, but sometimes) lethal birth.

Actually, it's not illegal in ND until the ballot measure passes in eight or nine months. Ironic, that time period.

I have made MANY arguments, but you always circle around and say
