It's part of the west, but in any case, this is no failure.

Embryos aren't babies, they have neither innocence nor guilt, the "heartbeat" isn't what you think (although it doesn't matter), and there's no harm in not being born.

@SyGardner Embryos aren't babies.

I've watched abortions multiple times, on video. That didn't change my mind at all. Embryos & fetuses aren't babies. Lots of medical procedures are gross, but in any case there's no harm in not being born.

You want to punish people for having sex?

There's no harm in not being born.

@orionfernandes4587 There's no difference. Nobody minds not being born.

@AAMLer I'm not lying.

Demons don't exist.

@AlanWattResistance That doesn't follow. There are humans. Demons are superstitious nonsense.

@AlanWattResistance Thanks to mythology? No way. Religion stops a thinking brain.

@AlanWattResistance There is no supernatural.

@AlanWattResistance Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. Find me some empirical evidence for the supernatural.

@Pilkiesmaknmusic How so?

@darkbrightnorth True, but remember that Colombia (with two "o"s, not "Columbia") is in the west. Also, it's "fewer" children, not "less." Besides, Colombia's Total Fertility Rate (births-per-woman) has dropped like a brick, in common with most of Latin America.

@AlanWattResistance Hitler sharply restricted abortion rights. Also, embryos aren't babies yet, and your comment about "promiscuity" says a lot. It's about sex, not abortion per se. I see this again and again.
2
@lucasmejia3033 True, but things happen. Men refuse condoms, slip them off, beat women who don't do what the men want, etc. Also, there's no reason to punish women if they don't prevent pregnancy due to their own error.

God is imaginary.

No. The woman's body is the one being occupied, ravaged, and sometimes ruined by pregnancy.

*Colombia, with a second "o."

Baby?

@Shannon_Moore I have, and I do.

And? Also: *you're. (If you are not a native English speaker, I apologize!)

@AlanWattResistance Thereby showing a lack of credibility.
1
@AlanWattResistance It does, if it leads to erroneous conclusions about reality.

@AlanWattResistance Is there any evidence that prayer influences the outcomes of events?

@AlanWattResistance Cite empirical evidence, please.

Your prophet was a pedophile.

No such thing.

Children?

And?

@aeternavictrix7861 Expanding women's rights is the opposite of a failure.

@aeternavictrix7861 Embryos & fetuses lack personhood. That comes later. There's no harm in not being born. Abortion is an option, among the others you mentioned.
1
@aeternavictrix7861 Of course human embryos & human fetuses are human. They don't have personhood, but babies do indeed have personhood, in a rudimentary but genuine way. Among other things, they aren't in a quasi-parasitic relationship with a host organism. Also, no, there is no "attempt to yell" during abortion; that was debunked as soon as it appeared in the 80s. No, abortion is not murder, and it's one way of being responsible.
1
@aeternavictrix7861 Embryos & fetuses are quasi-parasitic, in that they're siphoning resources from a host organism. For many women, having an abortion is the responsible thing to do. It's one choice among others, and there's nothing wrong with it.
1
@aeternavictrix7861 I used the "quasi" prefix because of course a genuine parasite is of a different species than the host. It doesn't matter what the reason for an abortion is. There's no harm in it. Embryos aren't people yet, and there's no harm in not being born.

Baby?

It's a question of personhood, not life.

There is no god.
