Up to 40% of fetuses are aborted biologically by a woman's body. You can't say that's going to be a person. My cousin experienced a stillbirth with her first pregnancy. If this shit is so important why aren't we directing billions of dollars into medical research to make sure no fetuses are discarded naturally by a woman's body? It's not even a concern. Not even a blip on the radar. Why? (July 29, 2013 at 11:36 am)Slave Wrote: We're talking about a growing human. No we're not. We're talking about a possible human. Hey here's another possible human: If I impregnated you our possible child would be born and live for decades and do all kinds of cool things. So we gotta do it. Because if we don't we're killing that possible person.

It would be robbing them of their chance at living for being a temporary inconvenience. If you don't let me impregnate you, you are robbing our possible child at the chance of living. I know it's a temporary inconvenience for you to let me fuck the shit out of you numerous times. But for that child's sake you're just going to have to put up with it.

Deciding to terminate a life once you know it has begun developing, is always terminating a life. Unlike slave, I'm quite happy with the law as it stands, with abortion legal before an age of sentience. Aborting a fetus is terminating a human life. That's not up for discussion. It's the current scientific claim. (July 29, 2013 at 12:15 pm)fr0d0 Wrote: Aborting a fetus is terminating a human life. That's not up for discussion. It's the current scientific claim. Yes, it is up for discussion. Aborting a fetus is not terminating a human life. You are PREDICTING it's going to be a human life. You can't make that claim. There's only potential there. Not certainty.

You can't kill something on the future. But I keep reaffirming the scientific position: that a zygote + is human life. We've already covered contraception, and I've stated my opinion which is that this isn't terminating a life, but preventing it.

The fact that its a developing human is irrelevant. We don't have rights because we are human. We have rights because we exist as people. Brain = person. No brain = not a person. Can we please put the "well, technically it's a human life" argument to rest?

But it's not a person. It's just biological material with Homo sapiens DNA.

Natural abortions occur for very good reason in a lot of cases. None of these concern me because no human decided to abort them. And there is quite a bit of investment in IVF etc. (July 29, 2013 at 12:28 pm)fr0d0 Wrote: Natural abortions occur for very good reason in a lot of cases.

It's not flippant for a woman to elect abortion. It's not casual. It's done for very good fucking reasons. A woman would never do it otherwise.
