Thanks for admitting it.

The Tovian Way wrote:Since the organs are not genetically distinct, they possess no right to life, and can be removed.

How did you manage to write that without your eyes popping out of their sockets from the sheer pressure of the built-up bullshit?

The Tovian Way wrote:The unborn child has not forcibly implanted anything into anyone's body;

If the woman doesn't want the fetus to live inside her body, why should it be allowed to do so?

The Tovian Way wrote:it began its existence there.

So do many (other) parasites.

The Tovian Way wrote:Further, since it is a genetically distinct human being, it does possess a right to life, and cannot be removed absent its consent or the necessity of self defense, in a way that causes its death.

Again, is the mother not a genetically distinct human being? Are not all human beings genetically distinct?

Seriously, you've ad hoc-ed your argument into absurdity.

I fully expect they will. There have always been people throughout history who advocate infringing on others' rights because they do not consider members of that group to be fully human.
Being from the American South, I'm quite acquainted with those espousing such bigotry.

Actually, we do. The human species have been doing it for millennia, in fact. Heck, this whole fetishism towards fetuses is very recent. Even in Biblical times, a fetus was not considered a person. Human life and personhood began with a child's first breath.

No one forced them its there fault that they got pregnant. If you don't want a child then don't get pregnant if you don't have the money then don't get pregnant if you don't feel safe with having a child then don't get pregnant.

Neither do you, however, so you have no just omitted the entire discussion of whether fetuses should be able to not be aborted due to their human rights, which leaves it up to the carrier of the fetus to make that decision.

I have several.

My problem, in this instance, was with you being wrong. A fetus is human, undeniably. I don't see how that can be called into question. Its personhood is debatable, but it is human. That's a judgement we make, just like we make it with dogs and humans. We have every right to decide what qualifies as human and what doesn't, because we created the standards that define humanity.

Fuck that shit! People sometimes get pregnant by accident! Condoms fail! Birth control fails! I don't suddenly lose my human rights just because I did something stupid that only harmed me! Get that through your skull and spare us this myopic whining!

People do not always have the choice of getting pregnant or not, it is not like a person can flip a switch on and off for the ability to become pregnant.
