Pro-life atheists

Not being personally affected by something doesn't mean you should have no say in it. That's probably why it gets on a lot of people's nerves. If someone is cutting themselves all the time, you should have no say in the debate. His body, his choice. Close down all the suicide prevention agencies.

You want to kill something that could live for 80+ years, because you don't want to be inconveniences for 6-10 months, and you don't understand why some people have a problem with that?

1. Developing a child places the woman at risk, up to and including death

2. Raising a child is expensive

3. Fetuses do not have capability for intelligence up to a point in development months later.

As far as I can see, allowing abortion freely up to the interval specified in point 3 is consistent.


You do not have the standing to force someone else to risk their life against their will. (Contractual agreements constitute a wilful agreement)

I am aware of that, and have addressed them earlier in the thread. I know pregancies still take place in third world countries, but if we had a first world country where the government will pay for the procedure and we had good foster care funding, is it really still such a risk to the mother that it bears mentioning?

Not that we really have either of those things in USA, but I'd still rather work on that than see a bunch of abortions.
