Yes, even if we assume the foetus for the sake of argument is a person, the question as to why the foetus gets a right that no other person has, i.e. to use another person's body against their will, for the foetus to override the bodily sovereignty of the woman and use her body in order for their own life to be saved, has not been answered in half a dozen of these abortion threads. Nobody, nobody, else has that right; so why the foetus gets it is unknown.


If a fetus even has such a right, we might as well legalize rape, because unwanted pregnancy is the equivalent of being raped and tortured slowly for nine months with an extremely agonizing and traumatic climax at the end. Imagine inflicting this horrific shit on an 11-year-old girl who was raped by her uncle or stepfather. We're talking actual, functional, biological differences warranting special consideration by the government and not some vague, discriminatory affirmative action nonsense such as enforcing a 50% gender quota within the membership of a left-leaning political party that benefits only one gender because wHiTe mAn bAd.

Abortion should be free, safe, legal, accessible and confidential for all women and girls (and trans men and boys with uteri) with no risk of judgment or ridicule. It's interesting that it's mostly Christians and Catholics who have a problem with this. Even Muslims tend to be more relaxed when it comes to abortion.

What do you mean, what? If a woman was raped it's very different to having copious amounts of sex and failing to use contraception. You're killing an innocent baby either, but at least if the sex wasn't your fault, then it's the lesser of two evils if you want to terminate it. If you have sex irresponsibly (lack of contraception, having sex whilst ovulating, etc.) Then that's irresponsible, and your poor baby shouldn't have to die because of your irresponsibility. Men aren't off the hook either. I'm sure that there are ways that men can avoid impregnating women. I don't know about the ins and outs of sex, as I am a virgin, but I'm sure there are ways that men can avoid it. One thing, for example, would be spilling your sperm. Of coarse, the easiest way to avoid unwanted pregnancy is abstance, but since that's not gonna happen, at least be responsible. And before you criticise me of misogyny, keep in mind, this applies to both men and women. I am a man, and I am a 24 year old virgin.

It looks as if he is trying to victim blame the person that has been raped, but I really hope that isn't what he is saying.

No, sorry, what I meant to say was abortion due to rape is different to abortion due to irresponsibility. If one was raped, then an abortion is acceptable, but if one was irresponsible, than an abortion is murdering an unborn baby

Godulan Puppet #2, RPing as technologically advanced tribal society founded by mongols and vikings (and later with multiple other Asian and Native American cultures) motivated by an intrinsic devotion to the spirit of competition. They'll walk softly, talk softly, and make soothing noises as they stab you in the back and take your stuff... unless you're another Caleshan, whereupon they'll only stab you in the back figuratively!

Used NS stats: Population. That’s it. Anything else not stated in the factbooks is not used.

Intro RP: Gravity Ships and Garden Snips (involved tribes: Plainsrider, Hawkeye, Wavecrasher)
Current RP: A Rock Out of Place (involved tribes: Night Wolf, Deep Kraken, Starwalker)

This is a drastic reduction of what you said earlier.

What about if a woman uses contraception, and her partner does too, and she still gets pregnant?

Is it "acceptable" or is it "murder" to then get a termination?

It is murder because yes the fetus is in the body, but it is a seperate body. Since it has most of the essentials to be a human being, and since all human beings have rights, it should be illegal to kill that human being.

And in this case the Fetus magically has a right that no-one else gets - the right to use another person's body without their consent.
