[PUG] Abortion

The rape arguement is absurd. To act like it is the childs fault for the rape is redic.

 

Says you.
Get a little God in ya and you're perfectly right to tell women what is and what is not acceptable for them to do with their own bodies.

I think it's ridiculous for you to declare abortion absurd when clearly, you have very little understanding of the matter.

 

Women shouldnt have the right to leave the house without there husdbands permission, much less to have a aborton.

 

I would abort a rapist's baby. I'd be hopping pissed if I had to carry that thing to term and tax my body like that after being assaulted.
Thanks but no thanks to that bridge to nowheres.

 

It is so painfully clear where you are coming from.
There's no point trying to counter your arguments. You didn't post this thread here to be countered.

 

You are oh so righteous. Thanks for givin us women folk whatfor.

There's a big leap you've made there, a bunch of tissue in a womb being a child and having rights..

 

I would tell women what to do, God or not.

 

This is stupid.

You can call it whatever you want. I dont want women aborting a blastocyst or a fetus.

 

Keep this in mind guys. I realise that this is indeed a [PUG] thread, but everyone knows how heated the abortion topic can get. Just know where to drawl the line.

 

It's not that simple.

Edit: intended in response to the OP.

 

Barnabas, I'm not sure what your intent for this thread is?

 

Where should the line be drawn? PUG is an indicator that the thread is intended for war is it not? Did the proabortion side surrender?

 

Then elaborate on your declaration of absurdity for the reasons.

 

To let us know that abortion is ridiculous according to him. How many abortion threads will be created until we all understand..

 

You know the drill. Keep it civil. No personal jabs, and nothing overtly inflamatory.

 

It seems that you don't understand the arguments as well as you think you do.

Nobody is advocating for abortion. Abortion is a horrible thing, and nobody out there is demanding the right to have abortions. What women are fighting for is the right to do what they will with their own body. Regardless of whether or not a fetus is a "part" of it's mother's body, it exists within it's mother's body, gets all its sustenance and eliminates all it's waste through its mother's body, breath's through it's mother's body, and cannot survive without it's mother's body. Women arguably have a right to do what they will with their own body, including aborting a fetus from it. Does that make it right? Does that make it reasonable? The reality is that it is none of your business. It is the mother who has to live with the decision. That is the reality if she seeks to do it with a licensed doctor, or by herself in a back alley with a coat hanger. The reality is that you can't control, even if you made illegal, what a woman does with her own body.

Of course, what you want to seem to do is give a fetus's life precedence over a mother's liberty. You want to call a mother a murderer if she chooses to abort a fetus. Maybe she is. And it is your right to judge her as such if you so choose. However, it is not your right to infringe on any woman's liberty. It is not your right to try to force your belief that the fetus's life takes precedence over the mother's right to choose what she will do with her own body. Nor in reality can you infringe on that right, unless you want to create laws whereby women are thrown in prison for having abortions.

Instead of trying to force your views on women, you should seek to work with them so that they don't want to get abortions. Providing sexual education and contraceptives so that they avoid getting pregnant to begin with and working to improve upon alternative options to abortion. Instead of being an adversary to women's right to choose, become an advocate for a women's right to give birth to a child. Become an advocate for sexual education. Become an advocate for adoption.

What is ridiculous is thinking that you can get people to change by condemning them for their choices. Remove the plank from your own eye before trying to remove the speck from your brother's eye.
