I'm only ok with it when, the mother went through wat she not like, or if she is financially struggling and cannot provide for the child it's better than to starve the child and give it a very hard life

would you say the killing of a vegetable is murder.

jadetiger-51

as in a clinically brain dead person.

@sagecactus-43 V
calmgarden-93

i don't believe it's murder? it's healthcare :3

youngorange-75

if abortion is killing then drinking perms is cannibalism

happycactus-77

Yes abortion is so clearly and obviously murder

@jadetiger-51 would you say the killing of a vegetable is murder.
happycactus-77

If you kill a person in a vegetative state I think that would lead to homicide charges in almost any developed society

@daringcandle-95 It's necessarily killing if it's only a group of cells
happycactus-77

Killing a human in its early developmental stages doesn’t mean it isn’t killing btw

@calmgarden-93 i don't believe it's murder? it's healthcare :3
happycactus-77

Healthcare shouldn’t lead to death of a human

@happycactus-77 Killing a human in its early developmental stages doesn’t mean it isn’t killing btw

Well someone's body is their choice

Better that than give them a terrible life

goldenharbor-94

It's hilarious how u put "btw" in the end of ur statement and now that makes it a "supposedly" factual statement that is somehow "common sense", nah like really u start ur sentence off with "killing a human", like doesn't that itself means we are "killing a human", i mean how brain dead are you even

@daringcandle-95 Well someone's body is their choice
goldenharbor-94

Can we think more than saying "my body my choice" bs, this ain't clothes or preferences, it's about morals and a literal human being born, and conception doesn't happen only by a woman, there's someone involved who makes it happened

happycactus-77

That is literally a factual statement though? You can literally ask any modern scientist if a fetus or embryo is living and by any and every scientific measure, it is living since it meets all the criteria for life. It is also human as it is a member of the species homo sapiens. So yes it is literally killing a human. That isn’t even an opinion

@daringcandle-95 Well someone's body is their choice

There's difference between a person who's out of the womb and a fetus in the womb. The fetus can't feel pain, don't have a will to live or die unlike a women who's forced to carry it

quickxenon-97

What bout the women's suffering ? Do you only care bout the fetus ?? Do you know how much pressure and mental health issues its gonna cause a r#ped women to carry on a pregnancy that she didn't want ? R#pe is already a huge traumatic experience. Forcing that women to carry that child and that reminder for 9 months is cruel. Also what bout minors ? You want a child go through the pain of giving birth just so you could feel morally superior ?

@happycactus-77 Ability to feel pain does not dictate your moral value. Humanity and life does. A fetus in the womb…
quickxenon-97

Fetus still doesn't feel pain or has a will unlike people out the womb. You can't argue with that. A fetus is so damn different from human being who's out of the womb.

quickxenon-97

Also most abortions happens in first trimester. By the even the organs are not formed

happycactus-77

That doesn’t argue against anything I said though. I said that ability to feel pain does not dictate your moral worth. A human is not more or less valuable because they are able or unable to feel pain.

happycactus-77

Of course I care but the alternative choice here is literally death of a human. It’s like having two bad options and going for the worse one. Yes of course I think killing a human is leagues worse than a woman carrying an unwanted child to term. I don’t see how it wouldn’t be worse

@quickxenon-97 Also most abortions happens in first trimester. By the even the organs are not formed
happycactus-77

The stage of development doesn’t mean it is not human

quickxenon-97

You're just cherry picking. The fetus WON'T feel anything but the women will. Both choices are not equally bad.

@happycactus-77 That doesn’t argue against anything I said though. I said that ability to feel pain does not dictat…
quickxenon-97

The ability to feel pain does matter cause that's what makes it different from killing children. If you think killing a child and aborting a fetus is the same then there's nothing to be said, you're just ill in the head.

@sagecactus-43 V
pearlguitar-88

If the baby was older then 4 months. I would agree

@pearlguitar-88 If the baby was older then 4 months. I would agree

That's 2nd trimester most times abortions on 2nd and 3rd trimester doesn't happen cause it's harmful for both the mother and fetus.

quickxenon-97

Thus proved you only care bout the unborn fetus. Not the unwanted baby, not the mother not anyone else. Idk how you can just downplay how bad r#pe is how it affects women. Willing to fck up someone's mental health just to feel morally superior

@quickxenon-97 The ability to feel pain does matter cause that's what makes it different from killing children. If…
happycactus-77

Why does ability to feel pain matter to determine moral worth as a human? It doesn’t. People under anesthesias, in comas, or conditions that eliminate their pain perception don’t become less valuable do they? You can’t just kill someone because they can’t feel pain.

@pearlguitar-88 Some will take the risk a lot will do actually
quickxenon-97

Doctors mostly won't do abortions in that cases, unless it's a medical emergency like the fetus already died inside the mother's womb

quickxenon-97

All these people you mentioned have something called "will" like the will to live and the will to die

happycactus-77

Ok so it’s not about pain perception then. It is about will to live? Will to live defines your moral value?

You are moving goal posts

quickxenon-97

I talked bout both will and pain, you only cherry picked on the pain factor

happycactus-77

Ok well lay out your criteria for what makes a life that is morally valuable. Clearly it does not align with what is considered a human life by any scientific or medical consensus

happycactus-77

So is it ability to feel pain and will to live that means you can’t kill someone now?

happycactus-77

Lay it out in plain terms

@happycactus-77 Ok well lay out your criteria for what makes a life that is morally valuable. Clearly it does not a…
quickxenon-97

It's not that any life is more valuable, the fact is a women should have the right to carry or not carry a fetus in HER womb. And it's what makes abortions okay but killing children is not.

Kids out of the womb - can feel pain, has the will to live, is not inside someone's else womb, they're their own person.

Fetus- complete opposite of this.

Also it's not killing anyone. If someone stabbed a pregnant women in the stomach and caused abortion it's bad, cause the mother didn't consent to it. Also not everyone can decide if the fetus can get aborted. It's just the mother, who's carrying the kid in the womb.

quickxenon-97

Also what bout the kids born due to making abortions illegal ? Who's gonna take care of them ? Is it better to live and suffer or just not be born

happycactus-77

This sounds like the bodily autonomy argument now

happycactus-77

It’s important to note that nobody has the right to complete bodily autonomy. You don’t have bodily autonomy to the point where you can kill another human, especially when it’s your own child

happycactus-77

It applies to parents of born children too

happycactus-77

Like parents of born children also give up their body because they have obligations to their children after birth. You obviously wouldn’t accept it if a mother or father said that they refuse to carry their baby in their arms because it is their arms and they get to do what they want with it and babies are parasites for getting carried by their parents

@happycactus-77 This sounds like the bodily autonomy argument now
quickxenon-97

All these arguments come under abortion. It's not just a yes or no question

@quickxenon-97 It's not that any life is more valuable, the fact is a women should have the right to carry or not…
happycactus-77

No one gets to decide whether another human is worthy of human rights or not. Not the parent, not the state, nor anyone

@happycactus-77 Like parents of born children also give up their body because they have obligations to their childr…
quickxenon-97

Different things btw. One is inside the body btw so not easy as picking up a child. Again it's a kid who got feelings so that would be considered child neglect

@happycactus-77 No one gets to decide whether another human is worthy of human rights or not. Not the parent, not t…
happycactus-77

Human rights come from the fact that they are human

happycactus-77

Kind of fucked up if your parents get to decide whether you get human rights or not

@happycactus-77 Kind of fucked up if your parents get to decide whether you get human rights or not
quickxenon-97

If I'm in my mom's womb she gets to decide if I can stay or not cause it's her womb. I'd rather be not born than be an unwanted baby

happycactus-77

To each their own but you don’t get to decide that for each and every human to ever exist

happycactus-77

Not everyone is cool with being killed in the womb just because you are

happycactus-77

Personally I am not a fan of being killed

@happycactus-77 To each their own but you don’t get to decide that for each and every human to ever exist
quickxenon-97

I'm not asking everyone to get an abortion. We someone wants to keep a baby I hope it's going to be a healthy pregnancy. To those who don't want let them be. No one gets abortions for fun it's a complicated procedure

@happycactus-77 Personally I am not a fan of being killed
quickxenon-97

You wouldn't know if you were going to get killed in the womb

@happycactus-77 Not everyone is cool with being killed in the womb just because you are
quickxenon-97

No one would know if they're being killed in the womb 😭 holy stupidity

@quickxenon-97 You wouldn't know if you were going to get killed in the womb
happycactus-77

What kind of an argument is that? Incredibly lazy take. I wouldn’t know if I was going to get stabbed in my throat tonight when I sleep. Does that justify it?

happycactus-77

Just because you wouldn’t know about your death when it happens, does not mean your death was okay

happycactus-77

Aborting a baby is death and a woman carrying a baby to term is not death. When the choice is life or death I will choose life sorry

quickxenon-97

Riddle me this if a room containing multiple frozen embryos ( that's fetus in beginning of first trimester) and a baby is being burned down and you can only save one, which one would you say ?

@happycactus-77 And if I got shot in the head and was dead instantly?
quickxenon-97

You'd still feel it for a fraction of seconds also you had the will to live which makes it worse unlike an unborn fetus

quickxenon-97

In this case
death- you wouldn't feel anything, got no will, will not affect anything = bad
Forcing to carry a baby for 9 months or in worse case you got r#ped and is a minor - the mother will face mental health issues, life long trauma, will affect her for the rest of the life = better

@happycactus-77 This is just factually wrong and tells me everything I need to know about your understanding of the…

happycactus-77

Ok wait so you keep bringing up this case about r**e of minors but it’s a very small percentage of abortions. If I said that we can legalize abortions in those cases all the time would you be okay with outlawing the other 99% of abortions?

happycactus-77

Because if not, you are just using an extremely rare case out of all collective abortions to justify the rest of them where these conditions do not even apply

@sagecactus-43 V
snowysilver-75

@happycactus-77 Ok wait so you keep bringing up this case about r**e of minors but it’s a very small percentage of…
quickxenon-97

Do you support abortion in those cases ? Cause making abortion illegal includes every abortion no matter how the fetus was conceived

happycactus-77

No you can make exceptions in the law for different scenarios. Doesn’t have to be all or nothing

happycactus-77

I personally don’t support abortion in any case but since you use this case to justify the 99% of abortions where the same conditions don’t even apply I want to understand your logic then

quickxenon-97

So you think kids who got r#ped should be forced to carry out the pregnancy

@quickxenon-97 So you think kids who got r#ped should be forced to carry out the pregnancy
happycactus-77

I think all humans have a right to life

@happycactus-77 I think all humans have a right to life
quickxenon-97

So that's a yes ?

happycactus-77

I believe in equal rights for all humans yes

@happycactus-77 I believe in equal rights for all humans yes
quickxenon-97

So yes, you believe a child who got r#ped should be forced to carry a baby for 9 months and then forced to give birth

quickxenon-97

Holy cruelty, how do you even support making a child go through that

happycactus-77

There are plenty of people who were conceived via r**e I hope you know. That doesn’t mean that they should be killed

@quickxenon-97 Holy cruelty, how do you even support making a child go through that
happycactus-77

It is cruelty to believe the most innocent life to come out of a terrible situation is the one who must pay the final price

happycactus-77

Imagine telling someone who was conceived through r**e that they should have been killed 😭 and that they didn’t deserve to be born

happycactus-77

That’s way more messed up than someone having to carry a child to term. To kill someone for the actions of their father

happycactus-77

You really believe we should kill children because their fathers committed a crime?

@happycactus-77 You really believe we should kill children because their fathers committed a crime?
quickxenon-97

Not just because of the father, also the fact the mother did not want that baby

happycactus-77

That’s incredibly cruel and messed up

happycactus-77

Father having his children pay for his actions

@happycactus-77 Imagine telling someone who was conceived through r**e that they should have been killed 😭 and that…
quickxenon-97

Then again Not everyone has to get an abortion you're talking bout scenarios which doesn't exist. No one is going up to people and saying you deserve to be killed

happycactus-77

That is literally what you’re saying rn

@happycactus-77 There are plenty of people who were conceived via r**e I hope you know. That doesn’t mean that they…
quickxenon-97

Those people are out of the womb btw, we're talking bout fetuses

happycactus-77

Actually what you’re saying is way worse 😭

happycactus-77

I was gonna say that you’re saying that children who are conceived of r**e can be killed so long as their mother doesn’t want them

happycactus-77

But your take is actually far more cruel

@quickxenon-97 So yes, you believe a child who got r#ped should be forced to carry a baby for 9 months and then fo…
quickxenon-97

You support this bro. Making a living person going through hell. A child who can feel pain and a fetus who cannot ? Which one is worse ?

@happycactus-77 But your take is actually far more cruel
quickxenon-97

No it's not

@happycactus-77 I was gonna say that you’re saying that children who are conceived of r**e can be killed so long as…
quickxenon-97

If the mother don't want to carry the pregnancy. I don't support giving birth then stabbing the children just because their father was a cruel person

@happycactus-77 But your take is actually far more cruel
happycactus-77

Because you believe that they don’t even need to be conceived through r**e. You believe that the mother can just kill them solely because she wants to 😭😭

@quickxenon-97 That's the situation. Will you save a baby or multiple frozen embryos from a burning room, assuming…
quickxenon-97

quickxenon-97

Better than being born into an abusive house, being abandon, or starving cause your parents can't afford shit

happycactus-77

Ok so the traditional answer would be the baby of course but that doesn’t mean that the frozen embryos have no moral value which is where Im guessing you’re going

happycactus-77

Similarly I can ask would you save a 5 year old or a 90 year old

happycactus-77

Answer is still a 5 year old. That doesn’t mean the 90 year old has no right to life or any moral value

happycactus-77

So your conclusion is wrong

@happycactus-77 Ok so the traditional answer would be the baby of course but that doesn’t mean that the frozen embr…
quickxenon-97

Why the baby and not the multiple frozen embryos?

happycactus-77

I can also flip the scenario where if we were on a spaceship and Im the last person and my goal is to preserve the human race. In which case I wouldn’t save the baby and I’d probably save the 500 human embryos

@happycactus-77 So your conclusion is wrong
quickxenon-97

Again this one is due to age and the other one is due to the fact that one is baby and the other is a fetus

@quickxenon-97 Again this one is due to age and the other one is due to the fact that one is baby and the other is…
happycactus-77

happycactus-77

That’s still age 😭😭 holy are you dumb bruh

happycactus-77

The reason it’s in the fetal stage of development is because… say it with me… age

It’s younger….

happycactus-77

It’s both age

@happycactus-77 That’s still age 😭😭 holy are you dumb bruh
quickxenon-97

Wait so choosing killing a 6 yr old is better than a 4 yr old ??? No it's not

quickxenon-97

In this case the sole purpose is to preserve the human race and in my case there isn't a sole purpose so you can choose any without being forced into choosing one

quickxenon-97

Be fr, more than the age factor you thought bout a live baby suffering or frozen embryos who can't feel anything

quickxenon-97

Mostly on this server

Are you pro life or pro choice

@quickxenon-97 So yes, you believe a child who got r#ped should be forced to carry a baby for 9 months and then fo…
quickxenon-97

Honestly stupid to argue with a person who supports making a child go through this when you got a better option

@quickxenon-97 Be fr, more than the age factor you thought bout a live baby suffering or frozen embryos who can't…
happycactus-77

Sure but the analogy doesn’t make sense because idk what your conclusion is. If you’re saying I value the life of a born person more than the life of an embryo that’s true but that doesn’t mean the embryo is not valuable

happycactus-77

In the case of abortion, unless the woman will directly die from the pregnancy, I don’t see how your baby vs embryos situation maps onto the real scenario at all lol

happycactus-77

If the woman is in direct risk of losing her life by giving birth then yes I believe that is the exception obviously as does everyone else

@happycactus-77 Sure but the analogy doesn’t make sense because idk what your conclusion is. If you’re saying I val…
quickxenon-97

So you do value the life a born person more than embryo but not when it comes to mothers 😭 so you infact know both is different and have different values

happycactus-77

Bro your situation was about death of an embryo vs death of a born baby

happycactus-77

If we are talking about death of an embryo vs death of a mother obviously I believe abortion is valid here

happycactus-77

But you arent talking about that

@happycactus-77 In the case of abortion, unless the woman will directly die from the pregnancy, I don’t see how you…
quickxenon-97

It was to ask if you think there's difference between an abortion or straight up murder ( death of a baby)

happycactus-77

That’s why I said your analogy doesn’t make sense here

happycactus-77

Do you understand this 😭😭😭

happycactus-77

I feel like you don’t understand this

happycactus-77

You are equating a woman giving birth to her literal physical death

happycactus-77

If that is your premise we do not agree

happycactus-77

There is no way you’re a real person bruh 😭😭😭

@happycactus-77 Bro your situation was about death of an embryo vs death of a born baby
quickxenon-97

Mental health issues due to being forced to carry a child can cause a person to sh or lead to suicide. Cases like this has also happened.

happycactus-77

No we are talking about immediate physical death from giving birth

happycactus-77

If she has mental health issues then that should be addressed accordingly, not by killing another human

happycactus-77

Yk how like the rest of suicidal folks deal with their mental health problems

happycactus-77

Doesn’t involve killing humans usually

happycactus-77

(and if it does we put them in jail or in mental hospitals)

quickxenon-97

All this just can be just avoided by abortion.
Mental health problems
Excess trauma
Giving birth
Abusive parents
Getting abandoned in foster care
You just refuse to believe abortion does more harm than good and it's different from murdering a baby

happycactus-77

At the expense of a human life. You are killing a human for this

happycactus-77

Like literally physically killing a human

happycactus-77

Im not talking about potentially harming their mental health or whatever. Like they will cease to exist in this planet

@happycactus-77 Healthcare shouldn’t lead to death of a human
calmgarden-93

humans aren't embryos! 😄

freshforest-75

i dont beleive that she should be expected to care for it and adoption is very much an option but its still murder.

its horrific that a human life had to start that way but it should be protected.

also u said that its the womans body. it isnt. Its INSIDE the woman's body. thats like saying that i can k*ll my kids bc they live in a house that i own and they make my life harder and bc its my house i have full autonomy over it.

freshforest-75

its wrong

freshforest-75

it rly rly sucks if a baby is conceived that way

freshforest-75

but its still a baby

freshforest-75

and its still a human. if a person loses all their arms and legs they are still human. a human embreyo is still a human. We are just saying it isnt to make ourselves feel better

ever hear of the 3/5ths compromise? literally the same thing "they arent TECHNICALLY human" just to make ourselves feel better about our crimes

sharpdolphin-67

Oh Man Abortion
This topic is interesting
I feel women should have a choice to be free and to do what they please and people’s body’s do matter and the labor can be a pain in the ass to begin with (Thankfully Im a Guy So I wouldnt know the pain) and Ik “Killing” is considered towards the fetus
The thing is however is like the fetus itself is not even like Pre Born into a Kid in an instant type of thing
Which makes me question like why do people bring up the religion part about this while it is an Abortion debate (Off Topic)
But then its like i dont understand what people really wants nowadays
Plus before then
Why even consider not pulling out (Adult Joke) 🤷‍♂️
Like S** is not taken serious a lot as people just wants to give that shit a try and then the predetermination happens and all of a sudden YOURE gonna be a Mother or a Father
Or something along the lines
The risks is no joke here
Maybe Im missing something here but idk what yall take is
But obvs me
I rather choose the Pro Choice lane any day of the week
Also please use protection bruh

@goldenharbor-94 U talking abt empathy while u literally wanna kill a baby 💔😭

freshforest-75

the world told us that slaves werent human

freshforest-75

that was just to make us feel better about slavery

freshforest-75

fetuses are most definatly human

freshforest-75

but it would be easier to deal with if they werent human

freshforest-75

so we tell ourselves that they arent human

@freshforest-75 the world told us that slaves werent human
rapidxenon-79

It wouldn't feel the pain slaves did

rapidxenon-79

Not equivalent

rapidxenon-79

Whatsoever

@rapidxenon-79 It wouldn't feel the pain slaves did
freshforest-75

Ohhhhh. So slavery is ohk as long as there is no physical or emotional pain. It still rids them of getting to have a life but that’s FINE bc they don’t feel PAIN

thats not what i said at ALL

freshforest-75

im saying slavery was not ONLY bad bc of the pain

freshforest-75

im saying it was bad bc of the pain, bc of the fact that we stole peoples lives and said it was ok because someone OWNED them, the slaveowner had slave autonomy or whatever. Then we said that slaves werent technically human just to make ourselves feel better about the atrocities we were commiting

grandquiver-69

How does that even connect to abortion, embryos aren't developed

@grandquiver-69 How does that even connect to abortion, embryos aren't developed
freshforest-75

everyone convinced themselves that slaves werent TECHNICALLY humans. CHILDREN arent fully developed buddy.

Human children dont have a possiblity of becoming anything except for human adults. Human babies done have a possibility of becoming anything except human children. HUMAN EMBRYOS dont have a possibility of becoming anything except HUMAN BABIES

freshforest-75

THEY ARE HUMANS

freshforest-75

but it would be EASIER for US if they WERENT

freshforest-75

so we just gaslight society into saying "technically they arent humans"

freshforest-75

grandquiver-69

Human babies are developed, embryos haven't even grown organs (up to 10 weeks) and the thing with slaves is much more different and had various 'reasons' (not justifying but it was just superiority and higher race ideas which doesn't connect to literal embryos)

grandquiver-69

Also it's not like the vast majority of possible parents just choose to get rid of it, there's laws surrounded abortion so the system of it doesn't get abused

grandquiver-69

Well I do partly agree with this to a point, when the embryo becomes a fetus and gains organs while learning how to 'breathe'

The mother does choose it and by then the baby has become it's own person

freshforest-75

now i do think that if the woman is ever in danger it is fully understandable to do it. If the woman could die then its perfectly understandable

@freshforest-75 now i do think that if the woman is ever in danger it is fully understandable to do it. If the woma…
grandquiver-69

Usually if they're at serious risk of dying then the pregnancy is usually terminated early or near the time of the birth, for the birth tho it's usually cos the baby might not survive

grandquiver-69

I do get ur second point tho I think some exceptions should also be made like for example how it was conceived and if the woman had it without her consent (violated autonomy)

@grandquiver-69 I do get ur second point tho I think some exceptions should also be made like for example how it wa…
freshforest-75

i would still much rather the baby be born and just get adopted or whatever in the second case but if she chooses abortion i still fully understand it

freshforest-75

i dont think its fair to put the choice of killing human life in the hands of one person even if its feeding off her nutrients. However i can completly see why she would choose to abort it if ykwim

@freshforest-75 i would still much rather the baby be born and just get adopted or whatever in the second case but…
grandquiver-69

Makes tho tbh I feel she shouldn't just get rid of it early on after being scarred from wtvr happened, especially since the weight of it is more than people will probably understand

@freshforest-75 i dont think its fair to put the choice of killing human life in the hands of one person even if it…
grandquiver-69

Yh I do see ur point

grandquiver-69

Depends on the situation but sometimes yeah

grandquiver-69

Also how she conceived it in the first place, and how bad her mental state is (should be medically diagnosed and severe enough)

grandquiver-69

How is it wrong then

grandquiver-69

Oh I wasn't clear, I mean stuff like SA/ grape

grandquiver-69

That's her choice if she keeps it, and he exists now to react to this which is fine

grandquiver-69

What? He's alive now, nice

grandquiver-69

I mean if it was the other way and the woman did it and got pregnant and the guy's mental state got so screwed then it should still be a choice, as long as it's in rly early stages but that's a more controversial opinion ig

grandquiver-69

IDK STOP YELLING DAMN

grandquiver-69

SMTH IS WRONG WITH U SO SHUSH

no def not the second one. My lil brother has down syndrome and it makes his life harder and i know tons of other ppl with disabilities through the community that my lil brother is in. He makes our lives so much better and he is a joy to be around. Idk why u think everyone would agree to murder a baby just bc its life will be hard

@calmgarden-93 humans aren't embryos! 😄
happycactus-77

Embryo is a stage of human development. Embryos are humans

quickbadger-36

There are many alternatives than just going down that route

quickbadger-36

Also just because it's a foetus and hasn't developed doesn't change the fact that's it would have. I mean ending something in it's early stage or late it's still the same in a way

quickbadger-36

Also could put up the child for adoption or orphanage in some case

quickbadger-36

Also body "my choice" doesn't really count course you are also making that choice for someone else in you. Only reasonable cases where such acts would likely be permitted are when there is a health situation where both lives are in danger and one would have to be chosen

happycactus-77

Not being able to experience pain doesn’t mean it would be okay to kill you 😭😭

@quickbadger-36 Also could put up the child for adoption or orphanage in some case
jadetiger-51

Does that REALLY count when the foster care system is so shit?

@quickbadger-36 Hmm..I don't know, it's still a bit hopeful
jadetiger-51

Like, if every aborted child, if they weren't aborted anyway, was guaranteed a home, an education, a stable home, parents, then yeah, abortion would be evil, but in this economy, in THIS day, not every child born can even have those things.

jadetiger-51

The people who screaming to make abortion illegal are the same ones supporting genocide.

jadetiger-51

are the same ones pushing for politicians that raise housing prices and abolish healthcare.

quickbadger-36

quickbadger-36

I don't find abortion as a suitable solution to the problem either

quickbadger-36

If for all,the solution is just don't get yourself down that lane, that's have the process that brings kid

jadetiger-51

...uhh..

quickbadger-36

In special cases it's fine for abortion to take place

quickbadger-36

Like victims of crude crime

quickbadger-36

Or life Nd death situation

@jadetiger-51 The people who screaming to make abortion illegal are the same ones supporting genocide.
