I’m not sure where that line should be drawn, but I think it’s a discussion definitely worth having. I believe it is morally wrong, for example, for a woman to walk into a clinic at 20 weeks pregnant and ask for an abortion simply because she doesn’t want the baby. Now, I know that most late term abortions aren’t for that reason, and we should make exceptions for instances where the fetus is no longer viable or the mother’s life is in immediate danger, but I would support 20 week bans that fall outside of those circumstances. At 20 weeks we are no longer talking about a microscopic ball of undifferentiated cells. We are talking about a living creature with a developing central nervous system that can hear, taste, feel anxiety and comfort, and possibly (I know it’s disputed) feel pain. Just because a living thing isn’t fully conscious doesn’t mean it’s always morally right to end its life. I think most of us would say it’s immoral to euthanize, say, a pet hamster just because you didn’t want it anymore and it became an inconvenience. Why should anyone be allowed to treat a human baby that way?
Yes, we disagree on the details, but in essence we're each willing to judge what a woman does with her uterus. As an atheist who wants to fit in here, you don't say Sorry Tres, but if you're 20 weeks along I have an opinion on what you should and shouldn't do with your uterus - but that apparently is the case.
I don’t think it’s about judgement. I think it’s about being willing to discuss a complex moral dilemma. There are no easy answers, IMO. It’s the people who pretend there are who I think are on the wrong side.

When you say that in your opinion it's immoral, you're judging. And, you'd support bans of abortions post 20 weeks, so you're willing to force your judgment on other women. You seem to be trying to have your cake and eat it too.

Grant every fetus on us soil citizenship..and then there'll be a case. Until then, there just isn't. The state is constitutionally bound to side with the citizens interests. There certainly are simple solutions to the slut shamers problem..they just don't wanna, because of other people they'd like to fuck with too.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I’m talking about having a moral discussion. Having cake and eating it too? Yeah, it is a bit like that, I guess. How can we preserve a woman’s bodily autonomy without diminishing the value of human life? I never said I had all the answers. Maybe there is no perfectly, morally right solution. But my point about Tres was that women should get to have sex for pleasure just as men do.

No. Likewise, Tres shouldn't have expected her comment to be off-bounds because it was personal. Further, there were many ways she could have phrased that same sentiment in general terms without saying "my uterus."
You don't get to make an unassailable statement by making it personal. You don't accept that from opponents, yet you try to wield it as a weapon in your favor.
I'm still not certain what your impetus was for the "keep your legs shut" comment other than remarkably inflammatory snark. If that's it, so be it - just another day on the web.
But I can only surmise that if you actually knew me as a person rather than a bunch of 0's and 1's, you'd be deeply ashamed of your comments.

Shame appear to also require the functions in a portion of the brain that must be removed to lower the intellect and diminish judgement sufficiently for one to be a trump supporting Christian.
