Because, it results in the death of a potential human being as in what it grows into if allowed to unlike sperm cells which need to fuse and form a zygote first.

The woman should pay for her own mistake of having intercourse with said man in that case.

Sex is not a crime. Children should not be a punishment.

Finally, need, not choose, but need. So much for pro choice. I'd like to think that we could provide enough care for women in the first world where they don't feel forced by external pressures to need an abortion.
I probably hate everything you stand for. (and on)

My political viewpoint: Social democratic liberal

Why I want to destroy the very fabric of society

Telling a non-person who is violating the bodily rights of a woman that it has no right to be in there is not even close to slavery and you clearly do not know what slavery is if you think that is slavery.


If the first one is slavery, the second one is murder.

Slavery is better than murder.

Enslave half of the population so that you can "save" non-persons.
Are we also going to imprison women who miscarry?

True.

My point still stands.

Those who actually need them will have substantially hard time actually getting them.

Yes, I'm SURE that's what the woman with four kids already, living paycheck to paycheck, hardly able to afford food, two months behind on rent, who gets fired from work for being pregnant will think it is. A "gift," which happens to ruin her life.

Let half the population have their freedom to kill so that we can cause the death of half the population worth of future generations ?

Birth rate is high enough, we don't need to increase it, first of all.
Second, it is a woman's right to not be pregnant if she does not want to be. It is her right to not have her body invaded. If a rapist doesn't get to invade her body, neither does a non-person.

Yes. Why should we reduce the standard of living for future generations because of your childish beliefs?

Then abstain from sex if you are that worried or get a vasectomy/tubectomy if you need to be that sure.

Hear that, everyone who never wants kids! You have to spend the next 30-40 years of your life celibate if you're female, and basically forever if you're a guy!

Keyword. Potential.

It absolutely has the POTENTIAL to become a human being.

Except it isn't until it can survive outside of the womb.

Have you ever picked up a dictionary?

If not, go look up the word murder.

In this case, i'd say that she shouldn't be allowed that right as it is basically license to kill.

Legally, maybe not. But murder can be used synonymously for killing someone or something.

And that is why i am saying that if a medical reason prevents it from developing into a normal baby or if it endangers the life of the mother, sure. Otherwise no.
