      If you don’t want to have an abortion, no one’s ever been forcing you.

      Why you think it’s appropriate to force others is weird.

          Nah, you don’t really believe that.

          You already know that in an abortion, no one is typically killing the fetus (which btw is less of a human than a chicken egg is human), they’re just removing it from the body it’s parasiting off of. Not the mother’s fault it can’t survive, and I’m pretty sure you’re for curing cancer or tape worm which also contain more human dna than a fetus does.

          Besides, in many cases the fetus is already dead or terminal anyway.

          And even if this was codified under law as murder, it wouldn’t be the mother doing it, but a licensed professional, much like police, soldiers or wardens.

          Thats’s a lot of mental gymnastics to insert yourself into someone’s health care and sex life. That’s kind of weird…

            Republicans have spread this myth that women use abortion like birth control. Just like the myth of the black welfare Queen, spitting out kids just to draw a check. It’s all bullshit and they know it, they just hate poor people.

            tape worm which also contain more human dna than a fetus does.

            Not that im disagreeing with your overall argument, but a fetus has 100% human dna… otherwise it wouldnt develop into a human lol

              A fetus does indeed have 100% human DNA, but a tape worm has about 70% human DNA.

              An 8 week fetus is about 20 g, an 8 week tape worm can become up to 30 ft, weighing several pounds. 70 % of a pound is more than 20 g.

              And with the new slave mother laws, the fetus isn’t more than a handful of grams at the cut off date, making it all the more poignant.

          A fetus is objectively not fully formed. What do you think its doing in the womb for all those months, just hanging out? When abortions happen its just a bundle of cells that cant think, breathe, or live on its own.

              Cancer

              Cancer is a bunch of cells. By your logic it is immoral to treat cancer. Cancer has human DNA. Cancer can also live independent of the human that spawned it.

              We should stop killing cancer too.

              A coma involves brain activity in a highly developed nervous system, often with a high chance of recovery.

              A fetus has a tiny, undeveloped nervous system, with no higher brain functions.

              These are not at all equivalent. One is a person, and the other is not.

          Then how come they can’t survive without leeching off a host? 80% of pregnancies spontaneously end in miscarriage. That doesn’t sound viable or fully developed to me. If it could survive outside the womb, you’d have a point. But it can’t, so you don’t.

          You know who was actually fully-developed? All the women who have died due to pregnancy complications thanks to draconic laws that take away their rights over their own bodies. I’ll hold you responsible for murdering them.

              Sure, if you only measure after 6 weeks.

              For women of reproductive age, losses between implantation and clinical recognition are approximately 10–25%. Loss from implantation to birth is approximately one third [39, 46, 48, 49].

              A recent re-analysis [39] of data from three studies [46, 48, 49] concluded that, in normal healthy women, 10–40% is a plausible range for pre-implantation embryo loss and overall pregnancy loss from fertilisation to birth is approximately 40–60%.

              You clearly don’t know biology do you

              Says the person claiming a fetus is a fully developed human.

              are you capable of sustaining yourself I you were left in a jungle ?

              Millions of people live in the jungles of the world. How many fetuses live outside wombs? Oh right, none. Because there’s a difference between having the skills to survive in the jungle, and being a fully developed human capable of independent biological survival.

              Have you ensured that every single one of your gametes resulted in a child? Then you’re a genocidal hypocrite.

          No. A fully developed human would be post-pubescent. Until then you are either a fetus incapable of living outside your mother’s body, or a baby capable of independent life with some sort of care.

          Fetuses are NOT babies. Stop being obtuse.

      I assume you’ve adopted multiple unwanted children in the foster system including severely disabled ones, right?

      Since you think that “unborn children” shouldn’t be “killed,” you’ve got to be a major part of the solution.

      Tell me about your severely disabled kids you adopted from the foster system.

          Oh fuck right off with that bullshit. Abortions are a medical procedure. Women have died because they can’t get them. Or should we just let fetuses that die in utero rot inside the womb and kill the poor woman who lost her baby through no fault of her own?

          That’s just one example off the top of my head.

          Nobody wants to or is killing children. That’s some hyperbolic bullshit.

              Fair, but I would suggest that married couples who want more than one child should be allowed to choose to have as much sex as they want until they’re ready to have that next child. Of course, anti-abortion crusaders never think about the fact that it isn’t just those dirty sluts getting abortions. Married people have sex too.
