No. Stealing harms people. It's more like, if you don't like mustard, don't eat mustard. Otherwise, get your nose out of other people's sandwiches.


Because it ends up killing an innocent life.

Abortion results in the death of the fetus, so it does do harm.

Enslaving women is a far greater harm than stopping a pregnancy.

"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

The fetus is, biologically, a parasite.

I've read this a lot.

You know, we probably could remove the fetus from the womb without killing it, as an eviction as opposed to murder, then simply remove the devices keeping it alive so it could die of its own accord. I mean, modern medicine can do remarkable things. And morally speaking, this would be sound.

Of course, assuming it has a developed nervous system, this could be a very painful process for it.

Pro-lifers, if you don't want this to happen but want to sustain a consistent morality, abortion is the way to go.

Yeah, I try to stay away from that argument because it tends to not win over any anti-choicers. In the end it just makes them go, "NO UR RONG ITS A BABY!!! I HOPE YOU ARE NEVER AROUND CHILDrEN U WULD PROBALY KEEL DEM."

It's not murder if what's being killed is not a person.

Why do you have such a low regard for human life, that you're willing to put a non-person above a person? Is it because you're not a Christian? Because if you were a Christian, you'd be pro-abortion, and recognize that it's the true pro-life position.

It's a parasite, not a person.

It's a choice, not a child.

The Christian position is pro-choice.

Why not?


Firstly, that trespassing thing is a potential candidate to the human race, secondly, dehumanising a life does not change the fact that its a life, and thirdly, to decide that that life has no rights because its in a woman's body seems to me to be akin to slavery, considering the fact that said life has no choice on any matter, and has its very existence placed into the hands of somebody else.

And what if it is too late to stop himself from ejaculating ? Rape.

Seriously, people should start taking these things seriously and not as some kind of a game. If you have any doubts, then you shouldn't be having sex in the first place. You should have changed your mind before you undressed and began, not when it is about to stop or after it has happened.

I'll say this again:

Either you want only the rich to be able to have safe, sterile abortions, or every woman being able to have safe, sterile abortions.

Nope. Abortion is legal, and for something to be murder, it must be illegal.

OK, so you're saying that something that is alive has the full right to live, right?

OK than, what about cancer cells? I mean, they're alive and all! They have no choice in the matter! But hey, they harm us! So you're saying we should let them continue to destroy our bodies, just because they have no choice in the matter?

Ever heard that condoms are not 100% reliable ? Or that you can't always remove it before, depending upon how close you are to climax ?
