Abortion Rights On the Chopping Block
But a "necessity" is not dependent on "staying alive" - it takes many forms.
Also, what RetroGamer87said.
You tried much the same thing in dictating what a circumcision cut felt like to a baby on another thread - but maybe that should simply be defined as baby mutilation. At least then you'd be a little more consistent, and accurate, with your labeling.
It’s a clarification, not a goalpost. Conditions for staying alive involve safety, food, and water. Without food, water, and oxygen, the human organism dies. Abortion is not something that keeps a human organism alive.
Until it does. And I’ve made it abundantly clear what I mean by that. You won’t ordinarily be blamed for killing someone who threatens to kill you. You can’t be blamed for killing anyone when the alternative means the loss of your own life. It is possible to justify killing in self defense, war, and the death penalty. At other times killing isn’t justified, strictly speaking, but doesn’t carry the expected penalty for murder: Negligence, accidents, wrongful death, etc. If you can show that abortion is an emergency, life-saving procedure, then there is no reasonable argument to denying someone access to it.

-'See' What i mean?
862,320 12-year-old girls got impregnated by their fathers?
Also, go back and read what I said:
For all those 862,320 12-year-old girls you think were impregnated by their fathers, did 862,320 fathers end up in prison?
And by all means, PLEASE check my stats. If only babies who are conceived through incestuous rape are being killed, then the same number of fathers should be incarcerated. I propose you look up conviction stats on child rape and see if that number matches 862,320. I bet it doesn’t. I bet reality is that fathers tend to keep their hands off their daughters and that rape doesn’t ALWAYS result in pregnancy. So that would mean that the kind of issue you’re talking about is extremely rare. A paternity test could show incest before a baby is born. You can make a reasonable case for killing babies under rare, exceptional, and extraordinary circumstances, same as you can make a case for killing anyone. I don’t see how 862,320 possible unpunished murders are rare or reasonable. Or compassionate or just.

i Didn't Relate Any Stats At All; Just
One Extreme Circumstance That Does
Happen; It's The Same With Mental States
of Being; Whether it is Violent Father Rape or A Mistake
in A Drunken One Night Stand; Rape or Not,
Some Women Aren't Cut Out
to Carry A Child to term;
And the Same Applies Until
You Become One of Those Women

It Works the Other Way too;
Let's See How Many of The Suited-
Up Folks at the First Baptist Church Supporting
The New Law Will Stand Around And Not Take Their
16 Year-Old Daughters to Another State For an Abortion
To Save Face For Perhaps A Mixed Marriage or Such as that...
And to Be Clear Many Underage Girls Are Forced into
Abortions to Save First Baptist Face When they Really
Wanna Have Their Mixed Babies Or However they
Escape From Their Wombs...
Seen It Happen,
Just For Plain Old
Saving Face; i've Seen
It Happen, When the Daughter
Who Was Told that Abstinence is the
Only Way that Works, Terrified, Hid A
Pregnancy From Her Deacon Father Until the Day She
Had the Child In the Woods, Who Died, Who Otherwise
Might Have lived, if Afforded Prenatal Care; of Course in Most
Every Case, Ignorance And Lack of Empathy And Compassion
Disguised As Morality and Ethics Rules Among the Ignorant Cold Hearted;
And Meanwhile, The Family Dog

The Deacon Father Had Plenty of Money;
He Bought my Old Camaro in Cash For His Daughter;

Shows in Most All Areas of Life Today More;
Folks Who Just Aren't Interested in Walking

The Majority of Texans As Polled Don't Agree
With the Texas Law; This is a Democracy; This is
A Nation With a Declaration of Independence that
Supports Rights to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness
For All In Individual Ways With Least Harm; That isn't Limited to

Folks Who Wanna Tell Women What to Do With Their Uterus Don't Give

Or Wherever Cold Ignorant Hearts Don't Care...
It's All Disgusting to me; Yet it's Just my Opinion.
We Do LiVE iN A Democracy, So Far At Least Still Now;
i Don't Get my Way

When the Democracy

In This Case, the Majority of

[align=center]i Didn't Relate Any Stats At All; Just
One Extreme Circumstance That Does
Happen;
Extreme circumstances warrant extreme responses. I don’t know if it’s right to punish the unborn for what their father did, but it at least approaches a reasonable justification with the well-being of the mother in mind.
The mental/emotional well-being of a person is never a reasonable justification for killing, however. I’ve got a good list of people my mental/emotional state would be much improved if they were somehow removed from existence, but I’d never be able to argue my way out of a murder charge if I were to ever actualize those thoughts. So my response is to consider whether I’m motivated by envy, which I can cure by celebrating the achievements I covet for myself, or if someone if there’s another cause that has made me hurt or angry, then I confront the reasons I feel that way. Maybe I ignore someone out of existence, maybe I talk to them to see what the problem is, or maybe I sue them in court and leave it up to a judge. Or I talk to a third party and see if I’M the problem and need to work through things on my own.
The unborn don’t get reason, they don’t get justice as long as abortion is legal. A woman can choose to either fight cancer and lose the child in the process, or hold out for the baby and risk her own life. I can’t see anyone judging that woman for aborting a baby. Ectopic pregnancies rarely make it to term without a rupture that could kill both the mother and baby. A 12 year old rape victim who probably would suffer irreversible damage and possible sterility if it didn’t kill her certainly shouldn’t feel the pressure to sacrifice her life for an unwanted baby.
But statistically, you can’t say there were a combined 862,320 12-year-old incest rapes, ectopic pregnancies, cancer treatments. You can’t say 862,320 lives were in danger from an unborn baby. That’s not reason. That’s murder.

But a "necessity" is not dependent on "staying alive" - it takes many forms.
Also, what RetroGamer87said.
You tried much the same thing in dictating what a circumcision cut felt like to a baby on another thread - but maybe that should simply be defined as baby mutilation. At least then you'd be a little more consistent, and accurate, with your labeling.
Gosh you have a good memory. What did I say again?

I meant what did I say in the other thread. That was a pretty long time ago and I can't remember. I'm guessing it was something like telling people they don't need circumcision?

Ah, sorry.
Yes I think that was the gist of what you'd said there. Turns out my memory isn't that good.
The "You tried much the same thing" was for AngelRho, asserting that circumcision hurt less than a paper cut - but I don't remember any babies being interviewed post-op.
Much like a man asserting that abortion is not a necessity/not a necessity for staying alive.

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were accusing me of trying something but I wasn't quite sure what. That was why I was asking what I said.
Gosh, he really said circumcision hurts no more than a papercut?
I don't want to tell anyone they can't circumcise themselves if they don't want to but using AngelRho's own logic, you don't need circumcision to live so it's not a necessity.

Circumcision isn’t necessary to stay alive. Entirely optional.
But circumcision doesn’t kill people. Abortion does. Abortion is not simply an unnecessary option. It is deadly. I have no argument against abortion as a procedure to stop a woman’s death.

Don't tell other people which options are unnecessary. They know what's best for them far better than you do.

Abortion isn’t necessary to keep a woman alive. When it becomes a necessity, that is an exception.
But again, "necessity" is not dependent on "staying alive". That's just your own narrowed definition.

It’s the definition that matters. And the topic is abortion, not circumcision.
