Why can't a woman kill her BORN kid in order to have life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? Women have no control over the abortion procedure. They're not in control. The doctor is.
Well we don't have a bill of rights. Which means that we don't have a right to privacy, but we also don't have cops accessing our houses with master keys. If such a right as 'the right to privacy' was so important, then why isn't it an explicit RIGHT in the Constitution? I would take no issue with such a right, but that doesn't mean I support it being invented out of thin air.
FoxHastings said: ↑ Didn't you say : ""If abortion was banned, it would be saying that an unborn life is equal to a born life,"" Why are the fetuses of rapists "less equal " ??? SO! YOU admit that banning abortion is ALL and ONLY about punishing women for having consensual sex and NOT about that PRECIOUS LIFE, the FETUS... Finally, an Anti-Choicer admits it.... BY MAGIC the fetus becomes KILLABLE by the wave of the magic wand of Anti-Choicer's total lack of logic and honesty. HOW is that fetus different from any other fetus? Oh for gawd's sake , the old , "Look Mom, they did it, too" crap How about just sticking to the total hypocrisy of the Anti-Choicers...
No I didn't admit such a thing. What, how are the fetuses PHYSICALLY different? You are gloating because you can claim to have a consistent position on abortion, because you believe that abortion should not be limited to a particular week in the term. Of course, you fall apart when attempting to argue how a baby is different once born, compared to what it was when coming down the birth canal!
How is it different in ANY way? It isn't. It is still , according to Anti-Choicers, a "precious INNOCENT life".....why would it change if it was conceived by rape ??? It didn't commit any crime...
Nope. So you feel you have the right, as judge and jury, to tell other people what they should or should not do with their body. I don't have that right. Unless you are willing to support all the lives 'saved' from abortion, some being born into the most desperate of circumstances, addiction and abuse, then you have absolutely no right to demand someone bow to what you believe should happen. In addition, you would see the level of 'rapes' reported skyrocket, which exposes more people to false accusations. Are you willing to shoulder that responsibility?
Anything that involves the direct person. Sexuality, bodily autonomy, political preference, clothing choices, food choices, as long as it harms no other, and inclusive of consenting adults.
The NYT has an article today about a former evangelical woman who went through the horrors of sex shaming and religious indoctrination about sex. Its worth a read because it goes to the heart of this slut shaming that is part of the pro-life argument. You cannot separate women's reproductive rights and the rise of contraception and legalized abortion. All of these came to a head in the 70s when woman finally controlled their own sexual lives and certain religions freaked out. More than any single issue, the Moral Majority made abortion its central theme. When Falwell and Ronnie married themselves to each other and created the modern conservative political movement, women became their target.
Roe v Wade is toast. Yet again the extreme conservative minority in this country will enforce it's will upon the masses. This simply wont be tolerated much longer.
Not equivalent. I cant catch a baby by standing next to a pregnant woman. I CAN catch a deadly disease and die from someone who is willingly stupid and refuses what so ever to take into account the well being of those around them. Cause, Merica.
Its just been getting chipped away at slowly but surely. But I think that this current SC makeup will nuke it.
Then women, especially young women, should wake up to the fact that if they lose the right to bodily autonomy it will NOT just relate to abortion but to every aspect of their lives...
If America had always been pro abortion there would have been an amendment specifically protecting it and listing it as an absolute right. There was never a time when such an amendment would have passed but we may be nearing that point. If and when anti abortion is no longer the predominant will of the people the radical left will no longer be the real minority in this country.
Abortion was legal when our country was formed. There is no "pro-abortion" faction, just people who want women to have the same rights YOU have...why do you object? Have you figured out yet why abortion would be murder and women punished as murderers ??? Ya know, executed or imprisoned...
