Pro-life atheists

[BlackSwordsman]

I have always been pro-life. My understanding is that no matter what the circumstances surrounding the pregnancy, bad or good, rape or not. That child that innocent baby had nothing to do with it. They are without blame, why place the blame of a rapist on a baby, wasn't that childs fault.

Why should it suffer?

There is always adoption. Don't want it, give it to someone who cannot have a child, who's spent a fortune on having kids without success.

As a Buddhist, (moderately monastic) the view is that life begins at conception and all life is valuable.

My dear kid brother, would not be here had his 12 year old mother aborted him. She had him, gave him up for adoption.

In doing so my mother and I have had the pleasure of having him in our lives (my adopted family could not have children)

Well, except without a brain and a nervous system there is no person, and certainly no suffering.

The rest is an appeal to emotion.

Your argument fails.

I suppose, but honestly it bothers me that such an extreme term is over used and even feminists are using the word. I am not saying you had to have served combat never once did I say that.

But there was a mother on the news who claimed PTSD from child birth.

There is another feminist whom claimed PTSD after being called a name.

There was another person who got in a fender bender and tried claiming the bump gave her PTSD

Yeah some things can give it to you, but let the word be reserved for actually serious shit.

353,015 births per day, and 128.9 million births per year.

So that is a lot of people giving birth, and you got PTSD? From giving birth?

Come now, I brought up my example saying that I don't like how nonchalantly the word is used.


My gripe is with the ease at which people throw the word out.

Sorry if you or anyone else in the thread got offended by it, it was never my intent to make it sound like no one else can get it, I just hate seeing so over used.

The offense was taken because you either overlooked "repeated rape" or devalued the trauma of that.

Well i apologize for not realizing that, I didn't think of it as the time of the post it was not omited or left out or even unconsidered it was just not thought of
