South Dakota set to Limit most Abortions

I've often wondered - each time a woman's egg goes unfertilized, is that denying a child the right to life?

Zoltan's beaten me to it but that's it in a nutshell. Bill Hicks (I think) had a routine on this very subject...or was it me?

so, you little nazi, you don't think a women should control her own body?
and if it's 'unborn', it ain't a child. not at 24 weeks
dickhead. :rolleyes:

I don't know about him, but I believe a woman should control her own body. In this instance, we've weighed the options, and the woman's right to control her own body means that we will allow the killing of a human fetus, which if not by definition a human, is something that will in the overwhelming majority of instances, if left to term, become a human.

So imo, we're killing our progeny, but given the surrounding social circumstances, it is the expedient thing to do.

I disagree. It's an abortion

I don't give a fuck what the procedure for an abortion is, the people who have a right to an opinion are the woman, her medical advisors and anyone she chooses to talk to. not to some random cunt who thinks he knows better than her what her decision should be and is going to try and use terminology that he thinks is going to guilt herinto aggreeing with him.

here's news for you, it won't change her mind if she is doing what she knows is right, it will just make it more traumatic for her.

Like the man who impregnated her?

Don't get me wrong: I support your right to have an abortion. But let's not play games: what happens during an abortion is the taking of a life.

If she chooses to, but only then.

It's her body, if we are looking at consequences, then he should have thought about asking her for her views on that before having sex with her. Put the shoe on his foot for once.

I've heard so much shit about women taking the consequences for being pregnant, that biology means they carry the can, so they take responsibility. Fine, they take responsibility, they get the rights that go with that.

What ahppens during an abortion is allwing the already existing life to decide how she wants to run it. I choose her over a potential life, anytime, anywhere.

The thing inside the woman is a life.

I too, put the needs of the already-born person over those of the individual yet to be born.

The difference is that I know that what we're doing is killing, while so many pro lifers choose to play semantic games about that issue.

If you reserve that choice for the woman alone, then will you grant the man the choice of whether or not to provide financial support should she choose to have the baby?

no
 
I've often wondered: how many vegetarians are pro choice?

I wonder because it would mean they're opposed to the killing of animals, but they're ok with killiing something that's the next best thing to a human being.

The fact is that the birth of a child is of major consequence to the lives of both the mother and the father.

the birth maybe so but in most cases the abortion goes right over the fathers head, as does the ensuing responsibility if the child is born.
 
Johnny Canuck2 said:
IMO, if the woman wants the unfettered discretion about whether or not the child should be born, then she can bear the financial obligation of that decision.

you do a devils advocate position far to many times for anyone to actually take you seriously JC2

what's your opinion on abortion?

I'm afraid that's bollocks Johnny. A father doesn't have to have anything to do with proceedings once he's shot his sperm. Because he often chooses to doesn't make the two roles equal.

I don't really care whether you feel it's the taking of a life or not. I don't consider it is a life. Because it isn't born, doesn't have the ability to support itself and, at that point, is actually a part of my body. So it's no-one else's business but mine.

But then my views on abortion are well-known. See multiple threads passim:)

It's not part of your body. You're hosting it inside your body for nine months.

Oh I see. So I've grown it, nurtured it and had my life seriously fucked up by it for nine months. But I'm just the host?

:eek:

Fucking hell - it's like Alien!

Why: is that opinion to controversial to be believed?


in alot of absent fathers heads no.

in real life yes, in a loving relationship how many women go against their partners wishes and abort?

In fleeting encounters where pregnancy occurs how much control is exerted by the male?

this is the crux, a LOT of men have no intention of hanging around or attempting to contribute to a "mistake" but seem to want to have so much control over what happens at the end.

so what do you think JC2?

give the power to the person who will actually have to endure the real life pressures of having to care for an unwanted pregnancy.

or give the powers to another party that doesn't really give a shit but doesn't believe in abortion.

Why don't you try answering.

He stated it pretty obviously on the previous page.

I'm pro-choice, but I prefer that people choose not to. It's not optimum to have unwanted preganancies in the first place. Prevention is better.
 
toggle said:
So why the bullshit arguements, unelss he's point scoring?

he always point scores, or at least attempts too, even when he has no knowledge of the subject.
