You don't get to do that without explaining.

You open the door for some fresh air (Have recreational sex). You know there is a chance of someone wandering in, so you install a screen door (use protection). Someone still comes in (sperm finds an egg). You ask them to leave, but instead they make themselves at home on you couch and them being there makes you ill, causing to severe mental and physical distress (you get pregnant). Some people want to become friends with them (continue the pregnancy) but you, and many others, do not wish to become friends because they're annoying you and you have plenty of other reasons (you do not wish to continue pregnancy). So, you remove them from the house (have an abortion). What happens to them when you remove them from your house is of no concern to you and is not your responsibility.

Not the mother's problem. "I have a medical condition where if you don't let me fuck you I will die" does not make rape okay. Using someone else's body against that someone else's will is not acceptable under any circumstances, at all, ever.

Right. He is using your body, specifically your reproductive organs, against your will, which is something that no "individual", no "person", no "human being" is allowed to do under any circumstances, no matter how developed they are or aren't.

Huuuh? But fetuses can!!! You're a slut and you deserve to be punished!!!

They don't need to consent.

If you want me to give you a kidney because yours is failing and I'm the only match, I have to consent to giving you one of mine (and also prove that you're not paying me for it). You don't have to consent to be left without a kidney and die (you have to consent to receive it because that's how this shit works).

That's productive of you. And also super correct. Except not.
Either present a real argument or admit you lose the debate.

BULLSHIT!!!

I will not let you or anyone else stomp on medicine like this.

In fact, fetuses have NO SEXUAL ORGANS in the early stages, and when they develop, they look more like FEMALE fetuses. The reproductive organs only begin to take form later on in the process, in which either the sexual organs drop or stay in. Which is why hermaprhoditism happens. If they drop, then the skin develops the scrotum and penile apparatus, if not, the uterus and other organs develop.

Lrn2med


Genitalia is developed by the end of Week 11.


Actually, week 8 is the development of internal sexual organs.

Weeks 9 - 12 are when the sexual differentiation steps begin.

Doesn't matter. I'm not required to be responsible for your safety. You ARE required to respect my right to not have anything I don't want inside my body.

I believe we are arguing over whether or not those rights are valid. I think they call it that cutesy name... 'The Abortion Debate', I think?

Doesn't matter. You're not allowed to use someone else's body without their permission, no matter what effect being blocked from using their body has on you.

It might be the fault of those who got pregnant, but having sex is not a crime that can be punished by the removal of bodily rights.

Sorry, whether or not someone's fundamental human rights are "valid" is not up for discussion. And arguing that someone's fundamental human rights are "invalid" simply because of how their reproductive organs are arranged is sexist and disgusting.
