Well killing babies isn't what's being discussed here.

@Louis Vanguard by saying it's not a part of the mother's body you are being purposely idiotic. It is part of her body and it is inside her body using her body. By saying she doesn't have the right to remove it if she doesn't want to be pregnant you are saying she has less rights to her body than a corpse has to its body. And you are saying that a fetus has more rights than any born person.

@liambyrne5285 you're not understanding reality and logic. A preborn baby, otherwise known as a human fetus, is alive and it is a person but it's not a sentient person. There is no thoughts or feelings going on. Incidentally it already has all the same rights as any other living person. No living person can take anything from someone else no matter how badly they need it to survive, no matter if that person they're taking it from is the reason they need that thing to survive. Let's say someone gets drunk and crashes into you with their car and you need a lot of blood to survive. Even if they were a perfect match and they were the reason you need it, they're not obligated to give you blood. No one can make them. Equally no one can make a pregnant woman carry a pregnancy she doesn't want to, it's just as immoral is forcing blood donations or organ donations. Even more compelling to my argument is that you're not allowed to take organs from a corpse no matter how many lives it would save, unless that person gave permission when they were alive. If you can't even take organs from a dead person's body without their permission in life to save countless people, then what right does a fetus have to take from a woman? How do you not see that saying a woman can't have an abortion if she doesn't want to be pregnant, is saying that she has less rights to her body than a corpse has and a fetus has more rights to her body than any born person does? To recap; a fetus cannot use a woman's body without her permission just like any other born person can't. And a woman should have more rights to her body than a corpse does.

But they don't have the right to use someone else's body without their permission, just as no one else does. You don't even have permission to take the organs of a corpse unless they gave permission while they were alive. By telling a woman they don't have a right to their own body you are telling them they have less rights than a corpse and you are telling us that fetuses have more rights than any born person.

Well if such a place existed then I'm sure they would understand why you didn't want them to live a bad life. Most people getting an abortion are protecting their potential child. You wouldn't understand because you have no real love inside you.

We're not talking about killing babies here pro-life people should actually practice what they preach and care about living people

Also if anyone was using it as birth control they would happen a lot more, and it would be extremely expensive and hard on your body to keep doing. It's not a real thing that happens.

Well that's because everybody works and the money they earn for the company is kept by the person at the top who does nothing.

@radscorpion8 why would you ignore the part of my analogy that makes the person responsible? The car crash. If you're going about your life and no one hurts you it's just a freak accident, then yes no one is at fault for your injury. But if someone does something that is clearly dangerous (like drunk driving) and has clear possible outcomes (a crash) and they crash into you, hurting you, they are just as responsible for your injuries and now your life as two people who had sex and are now with child. It is literally the same. Someone made a decision that affected someone else. That someone else is now dependent on the person who made the decision. Now as a society humans have already decided that in the car crash scenario, even though there is a clear perpetrator, that perpetrator is not responsible for saving the other person's life. If life is so precious that we are going to force women to be pregnant when they don't want to be, how can we argue that people aren't obligated to fix what they broke? If you caused someone kidney failure, following the logic of "pro-lifers" you should be forced to give them a kidney. If you cause someone to lose a lot of blood, by the logic of pro-lifers, you should be forced to be the one to replace it. By their logic the person who creates the need must fulfill it. They have zero interest in actually saving human lives, because if they did they would have put their money where their mouth was a long time ago and created artificial wombs. If they had this discussion wouldn't even need to exist because people who didn't want to be pregnant wouldn't have to be pregnant and everybody who wants a newborn baby and can't have one can get what they want. But now let's all sit here and argue over it instead and never accomplish anything.

@radscorpion8 this is the problem I have with "pro-lifers", y'all pretend to be the more moral of the two groups but you aren't at all moral. While you think you don't have an obligation to help other people that aren't your blood, I think we all have an obligation to help everyone. Otherwise you should live alone in the woods and gain nothing from society. If you wouldn't help a random stranger you don't deserve the benefits of random strangers.

@thekarenator840 I'd agree that they would simply be avoided if people had simply taught men and women about fertility and how to actually use birth control. But they didn't. They teach people that birth control solves everything and if you just take it at the same time every day you can have sex whenever you want and nothing bad will ever happen. Most people I know with kids were on birth control when they got pregnant and were taking it properly. But it's only so effective so if you're having sex when you're ovulating and allowing the man to finish inside you there's a chance you could get pregnant. They don't teach people that. They don't teach people how to keep track of their fertility so they know when they're ovulating. They don't even teach them that there are apps to use for that.

@GodlyEddy a person is a conscious being with thoughts and feelings. A fetus is not any of those things.

@gaj30 literally no one said that. They're saying we shouldn't keep adding more and more and more. The world literally could not handle the millions of unwanted children if abortion was successfully taken away.

@johnnytsunami3695 a lot have said they would rather have not been born. Dude you should probably Google something before you look like such a fool. A lot of those kids go through absolutely horrible situations that last their entire young lives. A lot of kids age out of foster care and turn to drug use prostitution or get pregnant themselves unless the cycle of abortion or adoption continues.

@casperchristensen6451 it's also proven to lead to more abortions but they don't care about life. They only care about controlling women. The controller by telling her when she's allowed to have sex, and if she goes outside of that and gets pregnant when she's not ready to be they want to punish her with it. Pro-life people are so anti-life they want people to be punished with babies. It's disg_sting how they are.

@theway77744 my friend cried all day yesterday because she got the world's tiniest bleach stain on her new dress. Just because someone is upset about something they've done doesn't mean it should be illegal.

@fascinatinglist9654 actually over 70% of people getting an abortion reported that they were using one or more forms of birth control when they got pregnant. People are taught that birth control is a lot more effective at stopping pregnancy then it really is. They should be teaching women how to track fertility so they aren't having sex in the very few days out of the month that they're actually fertile.

@johnnytsunami3695 a lot not all what?

@hoghs1 you actually think that the people who own the businesses in this world are smarter and more motivated than the rest of us? Honey they were born to Rich families they could be dumber than a box of rocks and it wouldn't matter because Mommy and Daddy pay their way through school and then get them jobs with their buddies. You really don't understand the reality you live in. All capitalism does is make sure that a bunch of Rich fools keep all their money while the rest of us hard working individuals get poorer and poorer. And no they aren't the reason there's food on my table, poor people in other countries are the reason there's food on my table. And yours too. Poor people the ones who actually do all the labor, they're the ones that make the world go round. You would have nothing if it weren't for the poor people you wouldn't have technology you wouldn't have cars you wouldn't have roads you wouldn't have buildings you would have literally nothing. Rich people don't work they stand around and basically get in the way. We could all have so much more and life could be so much more efficient if it weren't for them. They aren't smarter they keep things running as dumb as possible. It's thanks to capitalism that are highways and roads are still s***. Made using old techniques that have been proven time and time again to be absolutely the worst. There are types of roads that absorb water and are actually long-lasting in places that see a lot of rain. There are plenty of places in North America where roads like that would save the states millions and billions of dollars per year in road repair, but yet it's not used in a single place in the USA. Why? There are a type of rolling barrier for freeways that lesson the severity of car accidents. But we don't use them. Even playing luggage. I'm trying to go on vacation and I need a luggage that fits in the carry-on spot, but no matter where I look half of the ones marketed as a carry-on bag are too big for the compartment. Why make all these carry-on bags that can't be used as carry on? Capitalism isn't intelligent and it isn't making your life better and it doesn't work.

@sanicthehedgehog1260 you can't just expect everybody to carry a fetus for nine months and give it to strangers. That's insanity. Most people can't do that to a baby they just birthed. You're clearly a man lol

This is what militant "pro life" people have brought the world to. It's their own fault. It's like when you tell your son he can't wear black nail polish until next thing you know he's dressed in the most ridiculous get ups just to annoy you.

YES

Yes why don't pro-life people ever focus on saving the children? They never care about the children!

@jamesodonnell8290 Rover's is way too has a clause in it that says you can't have an elective abortion anytime after the fetus can live outside the womb. Fetuses have lived outside the womb as young as 21 weeks. That's 5.2 months not 6. So no Roe versus Wade does not defend 6 month abortions.
