  1. Exactly. There's no harm in not being born.

  2.  @mostblunted_211  How so, and what leads you to that conclusion? Nobody minds not being born.

  3.  @mostblunted_211  I have no idea what you're trying to say here. This is word salad.

  4. There's no harm in not being born.
    4
  5. @Humanity Galatica Except there's no harm in not being born. In fact, there's a compelling school of thought (anti-natalism) that says that non-existence is the best possible outcome.

  6. @Humanity Galatica No, such concepts don't apply to embryos & fetuses. There's no harm in not being born.

  7. True, but that's not the best option for everyone.

  8. True, but it can be very difficult to get a doctor to do that. "You don't have any/enough children... you're too young... you'll change your mind..." and so on.

  9.  @mattmorris5048  False equivalence.

  10.  @mattmorris5048  Embryos lack personhood. It refers to the criteria that make killing wrong: sentience, the will to live, biological autonomy, and all the other things that are taken away when someone 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.

  11. Murder?
    2
  12. Having an abortion was the responsible thing to do.
    2
  13. There's no harm in it.

  14. Could *have.

  15.  @kw5961  Kid?

  16. Not getting vaccinated prolongs the pandemic, and makes you more likely to spread the virus to others. If you want to win the Herman Cain Award, I don't care, but unfortunately you put others in danger in the process. In contrast, there's no harm in an abortion; nobody minds not being born.

  17. God is imaginary.

  18. *you're

  19. Embryos aren't children, and unwanted children are in fact very likely to be abused and even killed.
    2
  20. Indeed; there's no harm in not being born.

  21. @Humanity Galatica You called me unintelligent while misspelling "you're."
    2
  22. @Humanity Galatica How so?
    2
  23. Baby?
    2
  24. Not everybody follows your religion.

  25. Embryos aren't babies. Also, please learn about punctuation.
    2
  26. There is no baby.

  27. Embryos & fetuses have no rights.

  28. Religion is nonsense.

  29.  @mostblunted_211  Not necessarily.
    1
  30.  @guardtheham1233  And?
    1
  31.  @Mannwhich  It's a wall of text, most of which makes no sense.
    1
  32.  @guardtheham1233  Of course I do, but what does that have to do with this?
    1
  33. Baby?

  34. It's a question of personhood, not life.

  35. *you're

  36. Hell is imaginary.

  37. True, but that applies to persons, not quasi-parasites.
    1
  38. Having an abortion is taking responsibility.
    1
  39. True, but what does that have to do with this?
    1
  40. Should *have

  41.  @rickgrimes7948  For one thing, please learn about punctuation. For another, that's Pascal's Wager, and it's very controversial.

  42.  @Mannwhich  That would be inaccurate, as I will have existed in the past.

  43. Moloch is imaginary.

  44. ?

  45. It can be very difficult to get sterilized. Besides matters of insurance/cost/etc., there's the problem of doctors refusing for patronizing reasons: "You don't have enough kids/you're too young/you'll change your mind..."
    1
  46. There is no child.
    1
  47. Yes, like an unwanted pregnancy and having to go to all this trouble to have an abortion.
    1
  48. Children?
    1
  49. God doesn't exist.
    1
  50. That can be very difficult to arrange, which is infuriating.
    1
  51. So?
    1
  52. Should *have.
    1
  53. @Humanity Galatica That makes no sense.
    1
  54. @Humanity Galatica Embryos & fetuses have no capacity for innocence (or guilt, of course).
    1
  55. @Humanity Galatica There's no deprivation in prevention, and now you're advocating terrorism (specifically murder).
    1
  56. That's his opinion.

  57. Held accountable how? By being punished by having to go through with an unwanted pregnancy?
    1
  58. We don't all follow your religion.

  59. It's not a child. It's a question of personhood, not life.
    1
  60. True, and irrelevant.
    1
  61. There was no baby involved.
    1
  62.  @victimstilllearning8496  Indeed.
    1
  63. Not everybody follows your silly fairy tale (religion).
    1
  64. It's not a baby.
    1
  65. It's not murder, and it's not a kid.
    1
  66. Murder?
    1
  67.  @Mannwhich  Life? Sure. Personhood? No. That comes later, and it makes all the difference.
    1
  68.  @Mannwhich  No, it's not murder. Murder is a crime, a specific charge, and abortion is not prosecuted as such. The question of personhood is based on what criteria make killing wrong.

  69. It is medical.
