You do know that anyone who cares too can look back at your quotes and see through the bullshit and the lies in this post, right?

It's not my fault you've continuously failed to grasp the most basic statements I've made.

No they don't. A fetus can react to stimuli. So can plants. Are plants sentient?

What does the psychology of a baby have to do with the sentience or lack thereof of a fetus?

Burden of proof. YOU are the one claiming that fetuses are sentient, so YOU have to prove it.

I've read about half of this thread recently, and I was actually moved to tears once, listening to a tragic story of a user that was raped and made the choice to get an abortion and then to hear others say that she was wrong to do so.

I think abortion is something that should not be taken lightly, and it is something that I as a male will never be able to understand. However, if the boyfriend/girlfriend or husband/wife or fling/fling are together or are on good terms I feel like the man should at least have some say on what happens, though it is ultimately the female's choice at the end of the day.

Having a child is a big deal and can lead to a plethora of issues, and if there is no reason to believe that the child will have a good life or the life that you feel that child deserves, then there is no reason to keep it. Do what is best for you and the potential child. Abortion also however isn't something that you just do without giving deep thought to it.

A fetus grows, feeds, and is sheltered in a woman while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.


That only shows that while they may express parasitic properties. It doesnt male them a parasite because it doesnt fulfil the criteria for a parasite as it is not an outside invading agent, it is a union between a human sperm cell and a human ovum.

Unless you also wish to argue that sperms are parasites and only a sperm is needed without a ovum to procreate.

As has been said repeatedly in this thread, not a baby, and she's an abortion counselor presenting a more positive image of the procedure so publishing her video is a way of doing her job.

Still doesnt mean much.

While calling parasites is wrong, the fact of the matter is that a pregnancy is risky and health complications may arise which makes a woman abort the fetus, miscarriages, and also several other factors that they are not willing to face, medical or non medical.

It's just an extension of the reality show "attention is always good, no matter the cost" mentality. So even if I had liked abortion(I don't, and I'm sure that does affect my feelings on the matter, but I'm trying to be objective), I would still find this disgusting. Abortion is incredibly personal- sharing it with random people who don't need to know is a bad thing, end of story.

No, you really aren't, because your immediate reaction was to claim it's an attention ploy when in the video itself she states that it's activism.

A fetus grows, feeds, and is sheltered in a woman while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.


Yes, kids are parasites, but so are stupid people… and lazy people on welfare (and don't act like there aren't those kinds of people out there)… and all the people in hospitals. Do we do a twice yearly purge to eradicate them? No? Ok then.

Also, a developing baby is, more often than not, the same species as the mother. Thus, unless you can provide evidence of a leech feeding on another leech, a tapeworm feeding off another tapeworm, etc. I doubt that the parasite argument can ever be taken seriously.

Edit: Also, that isn't the definition of a parasite. A parasite is when the host is harmed in some way.
