They think that sex is icky.

@Kudz_LastmanStanding Oh, I know what you're trying to say. But no, abortion is not murder. Embryos & fetuses don't have personhood, the characteristics that make killing wrong. That comes later.

@christaime9812 No, that's not what personhood is. It refers to the characteristics that make killing wrong: sentience, the will to live, biological autonomy, and all of the other things that are taken away when a person is killed. In a rudimentary but very real way, babies have that. Embryos & fetuses don't and can't. Also, we don't all agree with your religious fairy tales.

@guardtheham1233 It's not a question of life. It's a question of personhood, the characteristics that make killing wrong: sentience, the will to live, biological autonomy, and everything else that's taken away when a person is killed. In a rudimentary but real way, babies have that. Embryos & fetuses do not, and cannot. There's no harm in not being born.

@Kudz_LastmanStanding I agree, but that has nothing to do with abortion. Also, why the asterisks?

@guardtheham1233 They don't have personhood yet. That comes later, referring to the characteristics that make killing wrong.
3
@guardtheham1233 That applies to persons.
3
@guardtheham1233 Not this again. Yes, you can, because said woman isn't giving consent to have the pregnancy terminated. That's why fetal homicide laws were codified, with violent third parties in mind, assaulting women.

diszy Embryos aren't babies.

Why apologize, and which human beings?
3
@irinakarlstein Not so. They mean very different things. Babies have been born. What we have here is a philosophical question about what makes killing wrong, i.e. personhood.

@Kudz_LastmanStanding A human that has been born; I don't know when the "baby" stage ends.

@Kudz_LastmanStanding First of all, the womb is not the stomach! Second, of course human embryos are human. So what?

@christaime9812 As it happens, life support is disconnected very frequently, and there are other manifestations of euthanasia, so "we" do. Also, atheism is no fairy tale; I'm not the one espousing a bunch of made-up old stories. Do you have the same religion as your parents? Most people do, and somehow that's always the correct religion. Fascinating.

@TheGuiltsOfUs No such thing.

@breadogi7118 You don't know anything about the history of all this, do you?

Hospitals don't want to deal with protestors (protesters?).

@guardtheham1233 Human embryos & human fetuses aren't persons yet.

@guardtheham1233 Embryos & fetuses are stages in development. They don't have the characteristics of personhood.

@weheartclinicdefenders3686 There has to be a way to defeat those creeps.

@charlesyoung2197 CPCs don't help. They lie, trick, and try to run out the clock, as you can see here.

@guardtheham1233 In large part due to the shaming and stigmatizing that the God Squad dishes out. Also, let's see- women abort formerly wanted pregnancies due to discovery of birth defects, changes (often severe) in their financial situation, abuse, and much more. Women have to scramble to get appointments, funding, time off work, childcare, care of other dependents, a place to stay, etc. They often need to make all of this happen without abusive domestic partners/family members finding out. All of this was bad even before the Dobbs decision, thanks to (frankly unconstitutional) TRAP laws, and it just got worse.

@guardtheham1233 Life, yes. Persons, no.

@ankundamwebembezi6358 There it is. It's not about the so-called "babies," it's about sex. You want to punish people for having it. Having an abortion is one way to take responsibility. Personally, I am vasectomized, so that's one way that men can take responsibility.
