A fetus is not a person and you have no right to force her to give up everything for a monster.

Clearly the life of the unborn child matters more to some people and takes precedence.

Not to me. Human rights of people who are actually alive should take precedence over human rights of people who are dead or not yet born in situations where their rights are incompatible.

What is your right to force a decision like that on someone? Would you force your own daughter to carry a rapist's child to term even if they adamantly told you I dont want this child?

For someone who cries so often about democracy, you seem to misunderstand the concept. I have the right to support my beliefs because of democracy.

I didn't ask anyone to be so. I'm asking why a fetus should have rights over the person carrying it?

Yes.

I never said you cannot have your beliefs but you should not get to make a life changing medical decision for someone.

And why? You'd upend your daughters whole life because of your selfishness?

If a fetus is a person why doesnt the census count them?

You've asked similar questions multiple times, we've answered and all we get is more half-baked questions all while calling us monsters for our said answer. We gave you our reply, and yet you still don't seem to get it.

Cool, beliefs we don't share. They aren't really relevant.

I'd upend my daughter's life rather than allow her to kill for her career. Just as I upended my life for her rather than kill for my career.

Because the census is flawed.

Straw man. Most abortions aren't due to rape or incest, so don't paint the pro-right-to-kill cause as primarily, or even as a sizeable bloc, representing such.

So in other words your feelings and what you want matter more than hers?

Did you know that many fertilized eggs for unknown reason never implant in the uterus? If life begins at conception then I guess any woman whose had more than one mensural cycle is a serial killer.

Well, not really. Telconi actually admitted to being against abortion in those circumstances, so this strawman is more like the Cowardly Scarecrow. (I’m not actually calling anyone a coward, but analogies.)

In your hypothetical, yes, just like how my feelings more than rapists raping, robbers robbing, or any other wrongdoer.

How a woman became pregnant is irrelevant. If she's pregnant, it's her prerogative to choose whether or not to have an abortion.
