Great.

Also, all of the people who quoted me, quoted me saying that a foetus has 46 human chromosomes so I changed it quite a while ago.

So when you said that Planned Parenthood advocated killing newborns, you were just wrong?

The person NOT carrying the foetus does have a say... Inasmuch as the person who is carrying the foetus allows them to have a say.

At the end of the day, the final decision lies with the person who has the foetus. There's no way over that.

A woman doesn't have to make a child for a guy just because that guy wants a child.

NSG debates are very much like films from the 30s.

Black and white, poor quality, and become incredibly tedious in a short space of time.

Where did you hear that the 46 chromosome thing was the definition of a human? You must have learned it from somewhere.

Well, despite the fact that I'm opposed to abortion except in certain cases, in the case of abortion as birth control, yes, the man should have a choice. It's his kid. The mother doesn't own the baby by herself. That's ridiculous. That's like a guy in half ownership of a house with his wife, then the wife burning it down. Sure, the wife owned half, but so did the husband. He has a say.

As a female, I'd have to say it depends on the situation. In the case of sexual abuse or incest? Oh god no, that motherfucker gets NOTHING.

In cases of health issues? I'd say no, because the woman's health is at risk

However, if this is a matter of just a regular pregnancy that isn't what they wanted, then... yeah. He should get a say, because he hasn't been abusive, and this child is just as much his as hers.

Fox doesn't know what a child is.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

Celebrating a record number of abortions means celebrating a record number of people making smart family planning decisions- a record number of people who could not raise a child did not have one.

That is cause for celebration.
