Comments by "Scott Charney" (@scottcharney1091) on "How I Had an Abortion at Home in Texas | NYT Opinion" video.

@LordMalice6d9 Having an abortion is one way to be responsible.
120
@LordMalice6d9 What freakazoid behavior? Playing nice got us to this point.
64
@chrystallee5528 They don't counsel, they lie, shame, and trick. Have whatever position you want, but don't lie about it. Also, embryos aren't babies.
22
@crewded8630 Thankfully, that's not what happens. Embryos & fetuses aren't children.
22
@DrLoren668 God is imaginary.
19
@crewded8630 If someone wants to give birth, and yet they miscarry, then of course they'll feel upset.
15
@crewded8630 It is, in fact.
12
@crewded8630 Why would they mean nothing?
11
@annalea1522 How so? They decided that abortion was the responsible choice for them.
11
@gohan3448 There is no murder involved, and YHWH is a fairy tale.
11
@glorytothelord656 No, those are embryos & fetuses. There's a big difference.
8
@jbalvinmomsbiggestfan It's a responsible way to end an unwanted pregnancy.
8
@jbalvinmomsbiggestfan Sure, ending an unwanted pregnancy is the responsible thing to do, if that's what the woman in question desires. Why not?
8
@lightmatrix6867 Not so.
7
@rsbds5791 True, but that has nothing to do with abortion.
6
@bromponie7330 It's not a child yet.
6
@lightmatrix6867 I'm not sure what "before going woke" means regarding the dictionary, but anyway, the primary definitions in Merriam-Webster, Mosby's medical dictionary, and others, specify between infancy and puberty. The definitions referring to the unborn are of lower prestige.
6
@lightmatrix6867 New? How new? I just looked up the definition of "child" from Webster's 1913 dictionary, and there's nothing in there about the unborn in the definitions. The "with child" phrase is mentioned, but not as part of the definition. It's a misnomer, just like "pregnant with the baby."
6
That's exactly what she did.
5
On top of that, nobody should ever talk to the police without an attorney.
4
@gohan3448 And a smart person tells the world.
4
@julien.4617 Even after that, personhood comes much later.
4
@lightmatrix6867 See, there it is. There's no modern conspiracy to change definitions for a political agenda. "With child" is indeed a misnomer, lots of misnomers are in use: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misnomer#Examples
4
@glorytothelord656 Personhood comes later.
3
It's not a baby, and the woman is the one whose body bears the burden and the consequences of pregnancy and childbirth. It's up to her, period.
3
@AbsoluteTruth57 There is no murder involved.
3
@mo.ka.9661 Yes, by doing the responsible thing (for the patients that choose to have abortions) and having an abortion. It's one way of taking responsibility.
3
@Mcbignuts Think about what you just wrote for a moment. Do you see the contradiction?
3
@Mcbignuts Embryos and fetuses aren't babies.
3
@Mcbignuts They aren't children. As for when personhood arrives, I'm not 100% certain, but I can say that it's long after abortions are performed.
3
@Mcbignuts There is no murder involved.
3
@Mcbignuts Embryos and fetuses aren't babies yet.
3
@Mcbignuts Nobody is murdering anything here. As I said, in the case of a miscarriage, it's an understandable thing to say, but it's a misnomer. There are no babies involved.
3
It's not a baby yet, and since it's her body that bears the burden, it's her decision entirely.
3
@bromponie7330 Why?
3
There's no harm in not being born. Also: *you're.
3
@Amyyyyyisssswagggg Embryos & fetuses aren't babies. Also: *you're.
3
Indeed, and nobody should talk to the police without an attorney.
3
Not so. Her body is the host organism, bearing the effects of pregnancy.
3
That's made clear at the beginning. Not that it's any of your business.
3
That shouldn't be necessary.
3
Baby?
2
@glorytothelord656 You're talking about reflexes and the like.
2
@johnlewis9266 Exactly. They read you your rights, and you say that you are exercising your Fifth Amendment right to silence.
2
@JacindaH There is no child, "fetal pain" is a canard, and there's no harm in not being born.
2
@TheClosetIsGlass_ Besides that, most women who get abortions are adult women, most of whom already have children.
2
No, and you should be able to tell the difference.
2
@michaelanderson8339 How so?
2
@Griffith The White Falcon I hope that you're trolling.
2
There's no harm in not being born.
2
@electricblue2920 There's no harm in not being born.
2
@electricblue2920 You don't understand. Many women are in serious danger by being pregnant and/or giving birth. I'm not solely referring to medical reasons; more often they're in danger from abusers, inability take time off work, serious stigma (having to tell everybody who asks that she's not going to rear the child herself), and much more.
2
@robertortiz-wilson1588 Maybe she didn't go to the website; perhaps she just saw the listing on a search engine, and didn't consider that it was a fake clinic.
2
@electricblue2920 Women very, very, often have to work in order to stay alive and feed their dependents. You've missed the point regarding abusers; women in such situations have to abort discreetly before they start to show. Also, the percentage of pregnancies that are unintended is much, much higher than 1%! What gives you that idea?
2
@dylanhaskell2012 Of course I was once an embryo (and that's not how question marks work). What's your point?
2
@TRUtah What murder?
2
There is no murder.
2
She did the responsible thing for her.
2
It's not murder, and the video explained why it took so long.
2
@novalee8979 Embryos & fetuses aren't babies.
2
@txrose3809 Human embryos and human fetuses are human. They're not children yet. The crucial factor is personhood, and that comes later.
2
So what? She did the responsible thing for her.
2
There is no god.
2
She did the responsible thing.
2
True, but embryos aren't babies.
1
It's not a baby, and the woman is the one who bears the burden, as she is the host organism. It's up to her.
1
@justinjjoachin448 Live it down? If you're referring to regret, that's extremely rare.
1
@charissa6648 They misrepresent themselves (deceptive names, white coats), have amateurs administer ultrasounds & lie about the length of gestation, tell lies about cancer/infertility/mental health/etc., and try to run out the clock. Also, there's no child involved.
1
@stacyshoemaker9177 Embryos aren't children, and it's one thing to talk, and another to lie.
1
@CRanimatronics PP does no such manipulation.
1
@crewded8630 Embryos have neither guilt nor innocence. They lack personhood. I can't say for complete certainty when personhood arrives, but it's long after abortions occur. There's no harm in not being born.
1
@Anna-vl8qc Consent. Voluntary, consensual abortions are obviously very different from miscarriages.
1
@angiesworld8038 What's too bad?
1
@ravenbaa7989 For what?
1
@ravenbaa7989 Yes, and?
1
@ravenbaa7989 How so?
1
@whyiseveryusertaken. Thanks!
1
@javiazar That's not true.
1
@kennethramsby6077 True, but that has nothing to do with this.
1
@leaderofthebunch-deadbeat7716 It's no secret what goes on. Anyone can find out, but if you want the truth, you won't get it from these fake clinics.
1
Thankfully, a patient doesn't have to say anything other than that they are having a miscarriage.
1
It's not a child yet.
1
@sladeroofing1443 No, that "fetal pain" canard is bollocks.
1
Yes, it was a good thing.
1
@Ftallabas Yes, I know, and I was challenging you.
1
I'm on your side, but please learn to use paragraphs.
1
@lightmatrix6867 What censorship?
1
@lightmatrix6867 I'm serious.
1
@lightmatrix6867 I am replying to it now. Maybe it will get removed later. If it does, I will understand why.
1
Not so.
1
Embryos/fetuses aren't babies.
1
Embryos lack personhood.
1
@heidi2842 It's a philosophical stance based on what makes killing wrong. Also, this is neither here nor there, but "avoid parenthood" isn't accurate, as most women who get abortions already have at least one child. That by itself doesn't have any bearing on the ethics of abortion, but it does challenge some assumptions made by anti-choicers. Most women seeking abortion care have experience with babies, have seen ultrasounds, etc.
1
She did the responsible thing.
1
@mmjhcb What does dementia have to do with this?
1
Embryos aren't babies.
1
True, and irrelevant.
1
An embryo/fetus, yes. Not a person yet.
1
There is no baby.
1
This is one way to take accountability. There's no harm in not being born.
1
@myyoutube9211 Why do you say that?
1
@dimitri9075 Women have abortions of their own free will.
1
@ashleywheeler6517 There's absolutely no connection between ethics and availability.
1
How so?
1
To the extent that that's true, it doesn't matter. They still lie and trick people.
1
@SaraBethCox It does now, but either way, they still told lies about abortion.
1
@zenholder5790 The right to exercise control over one's internal biology is no small thing. If one has an unwanted pregnancy, getting an abortion is one way to be responsible.
1
@gianbianchi4371 I can't answer for @E V, but I can say that in that case, I wouldn't care.
1
@Anna-vl8qc How so?
1
Child?
1
Children have been born.
1
It's not a baby yet.
1
@kvns1212 At birth.
1
*you're
1
None of your business.
1
Embryo/fetus, silly.
1
There's no harm in not being born.
1
No, it's her body that bears the burden.
1
@district5198 All of the rights to continue the pregnancy or not are hers. If the child is born (which is always very taxing), and she is entitled to child support (because said child nearly always ends up with her), there is no right to just not pay.
1
So what? Married women have abortions.
1
Not as important as the host organism.
1
TX...
1
God is just pretend.
1
What baby?
1
There's no child involved.
1
There was no baby.
1
They aren't, unfortunately.
1
SmthNova There's no harm in not being born.
1
SmthNova And? What's your point?
1
@lonewarrior8245 The pregnant woman is who bears the physical burden and often permanent results of pregnancy and childbirth. The decision is entirely hers, and it has nothing to do with child support. The option of abortion does not create an option to not pay child support.
1
She was a fraud who did more harm than good.
1
It's not a mess like never before. Not even close. Women's bodies are the host organisms, and they bear the effects of pregnancy and childbirth. It's up to them.
1
This video deals with TX's law, which predated the Dobbs decision. Levatino is disingenuous. For one thing, he uses the wrong terminology ("baby"). For another, lots of medical procedures are gross. So what?
1
Embryos aren't babies.
1
The question is one of personhood, not life.
1
There is no God, embryos aren't babies, and she did the responsible thing for her.
1
God is imaginary.
1
Murder?
1
Harm?
1
Nobody minds not being born.
1
There is no baby involved. Regarding heaven, what's the downside?
1
Embryos/fetuses aren't children.
1
Injustice?
1
@lightmatrix6867 Only for healthy white babies. Lots of kids age out of foster care every day.
1
Embryos & fetuses aren't babies.
1
@lightmatrix6867 Embryos and fetuses aren't children. Human embryos and human fetuses are human; there's no dehumanization going on. The root word of "fetus" doesn't change anything at all.
1
@lightmatrix6867 It's a misnomer.
1
@lightmatrix6867 Other definitions read "between birth and puberty."
1
Here we go again. Margaret Sanger was many things, but not a racist. She worked with WEB DuBois, and did not tolerate bigotry on her staff. She & MLK lauded one another. Rosa Parks was on PP's board in the post-Sanger years. The "human weeds" quote is a fabrication, and "word to go out" meant, in the 1920s, that she didn't want people to get the wrong idea. Her own writings show great sympathy with the women of the Far East. She was very much a eugenicist, but opposed coercion, and found the Nazis horrifying. She spoke to the KKK Women's Auxiliary because the asked her to, as their menfolk didn't want them to know about contraception. She later said that it was the weirdest experience of her life. Have whatever opinion you want, but don't lie about it.
1
And don't talk to the police without a lawyer.
1
There was no murder. It's her body that bears the burden, and it's her decision.
1
@accelement3499 No, it's her decision. She's the host organism. The effects of pregnancy and childbearing fall entirely on her. Also, I hope that you're using some kind of speech-to-text program, because if not, you seem barely literate. Of course, if English isn't your first language, I apologize!
1
Why?
1
@TrentsPolitical Being quiescent rule-followers is what got us to this point.
1
@TrentsPolitical That's disingenuous.
1
Embryos/fetuses aren't children yet.
1
@x-popone6817 They are staffed by liars. That's most of what they do.
1
@electricblue2920 "Should we start aborting"... That's not pro-choice. You don't seem to grasp what choice is.
1
Embryos aren't babies.
1
What irony? It's unjust that she had to go to all this trouble.
1
@dylanhaskell2012 Embryos have neither guilt nor innocence. There's no harm in not being born.
1
@kirkpatrick7475 No such thing.
1
@kirkpatrick7475 That's a fallacy, because (among other things) then you have to ask what created the creator. Not having an answer is no reason to make up something silly, like a sky-daddy.
1
@kirkpatrick7475 The gestation period is nine months, as you know. At no point in that process is a child involved. As to when we can say that personhood arrives, I'm not completely sure, but I can say that it's after all (or virtually all) abortions happen.
1
@johndoeiii9767 ?
1
@kirkpatrick7475 Human embryos and human fetuses are human, obviously. They just aren't children yet. They don't have personhood.
1
@kirkpatrick7475 You're making some assumptions here, and there are problems with them. I don't know what created energy, but that's no reason to assume that it was a deity, much less yours: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmological_argument
1
@kirkpatrick7475 First, show me the paper (or material in general) from which you are getting this argument.
1
@alpharenz1329 Having an abortion is one way to be responsible.
1
@lissy1678 Those are a form of cartoon, but that's neither here nor there.
1
That's TX for you.
1
True, but it's not a child yet.
1
There was no pain for the embryo/fetus. Religion is bollocks.
1
You're silly.
1
Why not?
1
@Greenie-43x Women have abortions of their own free will, and there's nothing wrong with that. If you really think that abortion is homicide, then it makes no sense to not prosecute the women involved, particularly if they self-induce.
1
@excellentbloodman1147 Embryos and fetuses aren't babies.
1
Huh?
1
She did take responsibility.
1
Embryos aren't babies.
1
The only tragedy is that she had to go to such lengths to exercise her rights.
1
@Upinsmoke1976 Both.
1
@leeverkisto22 True, but there's no murder involved.
1
@Anna-vl8qc True, but embryos and fetuses aren't persons.
1
@leeverkisto22 Human? Sure. I didn't say otherwise.
1
@leeverkisto22 It's a discussion about what makes killing wrong. The factor is personhood- sentience, the will to live, biological autonomy, and all else that's taken away when a person is killed. In a rudimentary way, babies have that. Embryos and fetuses don't. There's no harm in not being born.
1
Exactly, but: *you're.
1
The vast majority of women feel relief, not regret.
1
I'm on your side, but please learn to use punctuation.
1
Embryos aren't children.
1
In theory! I can see pharmacists refusing.
1
Murder?
1
Thanks for sharing. With that said, please stop shouting.
1
Sure it does. What would you save from a fire at the IVF clinic, one toddler, or thousands of frozen embryos?
1
@fouroverseven7799 Embryos can't experience pain.
1
That's not true. The Great Crime Decline that began in the 90s is still with us, despite the recent uptick in homicides during the pandemic. You didn't know that?
1
Embryos aren't babies, and there's no harm in not being born.
1
How so?
1
@kendgabe822 Embryos aren't babies.
1
That's the point. Nobody chooses to be born. There's no harm in not being born (in fact, there's a good case that it's the best outcome).
1
@isaacweatherington3558 Sure it is.
1
That's the point. They were being disingenuous, just like in the Whole Woman v. Hellerstedt case.
1
True, but that has nothing to do with abortion.
1
There is no baby involved.
1
@DavidFobare That's not a rebuttal.
1
No. It's her body that bears the burden.
1
@ianicharia3499 It's not equivalent.
1
It's not a child yet.
1
@Cruizzerr Not so. Embryos & fetuses are not children.
1
@outdated1442 True, but it doesn't have personhood yet. That comes later.
1
@Cruizzerr You're saying that embryos & fetuses are tantamount to children, but they're clearly very different. This is where personhood comes in, i.e. 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 (children) have this, but embryos & fetuses do not and cannot. There's no harm in not being born. The decision goes to the host organism.
1
No.
1
*you're
1
There was no baby.
1
She did the responsible thing.
1
Embryos aren't children.
1
There is no heaven. If there was, then getting aborted would be great! It's a guaranteed, immediate trip to heaven! Hooray!
1
@scottChapman25 Embryos aren't children. Having an abortion was the responsible thing for her.
1
