First of all, it is rather offensive that the title of this thread uses the term "support abortion".

It is not called pro-abortion. It is called pro-choice.


I'm sorry that this caused you offense.

I started this thread originally addressed to pro-lifers, asking why they support abortion if the woman has been raped if they believe it is wrong from the potential baby's point of view. Then I took the word Pro-lifers out of the title because I didn't want to put other people off commenting.

My country does not allow abortions in the case of rape, women have had their passports confiscated if they have reported a rape and are thought likely to travel to seek abortion. I blame dogmatic religion which is not compassionate. I used the words "support abortion" as an abbreviation for "Why do so many pro-lifers say that abortion is murder and cannot be defended, then contradict themselves and say they would support the idea of abortion being allowed in some cases, not dependant on the health of anyone involved, but because of an attack on the woman by a man". That was too long for a title.

My own belief is any woman should be able to choose what to do with her body, her choice to have sex, her choice to carry a child or not.

I know women who have travelled for abortion, I know one who hadn't money to travel and was afraid to tell anyone her intentions, so instead of asking for money so did it herself, she bled heavily and was three days in hospital. She was worried about lying to the doctors, so told one nurse, that nurse told her it didn't make a difference medically so she should still keep it secret rather than risk some other nurse or doctor feeling obliged to call the police.

I wouldn't have had an abortion if I'd been pregnant after I was raped. I was young and believed it was wrong, I also believed it was somehow my fault I'd been raped by one man in the presence of another man who declined the rapists' invitation to also do me. For a long time I went over what I should have done differently. I never reported it for fear of judgement by others, if I'd been pregnant people would have found out, that was my biggest fear then. Young girls should not be made to feel responsible for these things. Pro-lifers are making young girls suffer if they get pregnant, the pro-lifers do not know the circumstances, the girl does , by telling her she is evil to have an abortion only pushes the responsibility more onto the woman and off the man, no matter the circumstances of sex.

All women should be protected from unwanted pregnancy in whatever way is possible.

All women are precious no matter if they are religious or not, no matter if you approve of their lifestyle or not. Putting some blob of human tissue as more important is wrong, it is misogynist. Human tissue is commonplace, anyone can see the difference if they want to between a person and a blob and know which ought to have priority.

Exactly why abortion is legal in case of rape.

Making abortion legal only in the case of rape is BS and actually results in tons of rape victims getting forced to stay pregnant. It is ridiculously patriarchal that you have to expect the decision by some dude judge before you are allowed to choose what to do with your body.

You tend to equate laws with morals. They are not the same thing.

Laws should be fair and have a practical purpose. The practical purpose in outlawing murder is to give safety to people. The practical purpose in outlawing killing endangered species is preservation of biodiversity. The practical purpose of keeping abortion legal is to reduce welfare costs and also to reduce risk and death from people that have to abort.

Hey, if you want to provide super-person rights to something, at least try to pick something that has something that remotely looks like a brain, and not just a zygote (bunch of cells). And if you want to pick a moment between conception and birth, that would be silly and the realm of pseudoscience.

Discussion about personhood is irrelevant though. Even if that parisitic entity was a person, it is not a super-person. It doesn't deserve more rights than the host.

How about you actually read what I say instead of projecting your view of "pro-lifers"?

I never said that that abortion should only be legal in case of rape, just that it should be legal in such cases, and I'm generally against abortion. Also, you seem to be completely unable to separate theory from execution, otherwise you wouldn't have brought up dude judges, I never brought up dude judges and no one else did.

Um, no, actually, I don't equate laws with morals. Only someone who completely fails at reading comprehension and thinks everyone who disagrees with them must be an idiot would conclude that. What I'm saying is law and morals are connected, if you look at different societies the relationship between morals and laws is obvious; laws reflect a society's moral values. You saying laws should be fair is exactly why laws are based on morals, if a society believed in survival of the fittest and there was no moral qualm with murder there would be no laws against it. The purpose of laws isn't to be practical, practicality is just so they are enforceable and people will enforce them, the purpose of laws is to prevent crime, and the idea of what is or is not crime depends on social norms.

Biologically speaking conception is much less arbitrary as it's always the exact point a genetically unique organism is created, it's a very clean cut line, even if zygotes are by no means sentient and there is no moral reason to start there. Because of caesarean birth and life support for pre-mature infants birth is now rather arbitrary, being inside or outside of the womb doesn't make much of a difference.

Also, your super-person claim is ridiculous, why would "right to surgery" naturally trump "right to life"? Completely illogical to conclude it has more rights. The fetus is not a super person by any means. And finally, fetuses are by definition not parasitic for numerous reasons, so you can stop calling them as such, it just shows you don't understand biological terms.

Ps. A zygote is a single cell, a group of cells is a morula. No abortions take place in that stage as the pregnancy wouldn't have been detected, by the time people figure out it's usually a proper embryo as when menstruation would have been is usually 4 weeks after conception, the brain, heart, and spinal cord begin being development in the first three weeks. You can't even get your facts straight.

Interesting comparison, about the same size but a fly can survive without a host, does that make it really really bad to kill a fly?

Vex brought up 'dude judges' because dude judges, dude legislators, and just all-around dudes are always the ones trying to take away women's rights to bodily autonomy.

The only way you can pretend that being inside or outside of a person "doesn't matter" is if you don't give a damn about the rights of that person. This entire discussion is about whether or not one organism has the right to use another organism's body, regardless of its stage of development; no adult has the right to hijack another's body, and no zef should either. That is what Vex mean by 'a zef is not a super-person:' a zef does not have more rights than adult human beings do, which is what you are claiming by saying that it has a right to use a woman's body without her permission in order to preserve itself.

And you're using semantics to disingenuously pretend that you're missing the point. We all know that a zef does not fit the biological definition of a 'parasite' because it is of the same species as the host, but the very reason that that caveat was initially included in the definition of 'parasite' by early biologists is that there are many situations where one organism fits the definition in every particular except that it is of the same species. An unwanted zef might not be biologically a parasite, just like the 10th male anglerfish glomming onto the female anglerfish like a tick might not be biologically a parasite, but you have to admit that aside from that little technicality, there hare a hell of a lot of similarities there.

Not exactly. No abortions can take place before the zef has implanted, because implantation is the beginning of pregnancy and, by definition, abortion is the end of pregnancy before term labor. However, a great many zefs are naturally expelled without ever implanting, not even qualifying for the term 'spontaneous abortion.' A great many more are further spontaneously aborted before there are any signs of pregnancy detectable by the woman or all but the most sensitive of blood tests.

BS. By that definition of 'begin to develop,' you might as well put that beginning at fertilization along with everything else. The migration of cells from the various dermal layers does not a CNS make. The primitive twitching of bifurcated muscle fibers does not a heart make. I've posted this before, but here is some basic info again:

Also? It matters not a whit that I can't 'feel' what it's like to be a fly; I can 'feel' what it's like to be a zef for most of its development, though, when I'm unconscious asleep and not dreaming. That is to say, a zef does not have the processing power to even be as conscious as a fly. When I see someone's brains leaking out their ears, I don't have to be inside their head to know that they're dead; likewise, when I see that the neurons don't exist, or that they're not connected, I don't have to be inside a zef's head to know that it's not sentient.

How the hell does surviving without a host make it worse to kill them suddenly? That's perverted morality. IMO this is a bit absurd, but it would actually be less moral to kill the dependent as they are at a disadvantage.

Can you provide any actual evidence that the "pro-life" side is in fact male dominated? I'm pretty sure religion and by extension through correlation politics is a much more important factor than gender in the sides. If you want to know how gender factors with that, religion is more common among females, but so is being liberal, so I assume gender more or less cancels out there. There are plenty of woman who are against abortion, even some who claim to be feminists. I don't like the framing of this as it implies that anyone who is against the "pro-choice" side is a misogynic, when that is obviously NOT the case. If men could get pregnant as well most people would have the same stance, ultimately the debate boils down to HUMAN rights, one way or another, not bias against women.

Actually the entire discussion is about why abortions should be allowed specifically for rapes. :P

"This entire discussion is about whether or not one organism has the right to use another organism's body." No, it's not, that's what the "pro-choice" side frames it as. The "pro-life" sides frames it as "the entire discussion is about whether it's one organism has the right to take the life of another organism in order to reduce the first organisms hardships." Either framing looks morally atrocious to disagree with, but both sides would say the others claim is inaccurate, as you do by saying "zef" life is irrelevant and the nature of not being a "super-person" means it has the right to be slain, and while the first part can be argued, the second claim is just absurd. Unless you are a fan of corporeal punishment you don't kill someone for breaking the law, you give them the appropriate punishment. Anyway, saying the fetus is hijacking the body without permission doesn't really make biological sense, the idea of consent is legal and just doesn't work in this context, if anything saying consent is relevant it can only be argued the baby was given implicit consent to exist, and the baby couldn't give consent itself, so by default it get's what it needs to survive as that's what happens when someone cannot give consent. Going through with pregnancy is the default. On the other hand, abortion is an active action, not a passive one. Thus the person doing the abortion would be taking action, while the "zef" is not by existing. Because of the difference between passive and active action the "zef" is not violating anything by existing. If you want a legal comparison to show I'm not just BSing, look into the debate of euthanasia, particularly passive vs. active euthanasia.

It's not like you haven't done any debating of semantics. Anyway, it's not just being of the same species, that's actually less important. Here is a further explanation: http://www.cephalopodiatrist.com/2012/1 ... sites.html
And no, a 10th male angler is not a parasite for the same reasons, but I'm going to assume that if you made a sliding scale of parascity it would be slightly more parasitic in nature due to it's method of genesis relative to the female angler.

Yes, it will technically cease to be a zygote before it reaches the uterine wall so zygotes won't aborted by that logic, but that's not the point. The point is that while it's still a blob of cells no intentional abortions are going to take place because no one is going to intend to abort as they don't know they are pregnant, when people are deciding to abort the embryo is usually a bit more developed. Spontaneous abortion is not the subject of debate.

I meant what I said and I said what I meant. The heart and CNS do in fact start development during the 3rd week. Obviously it's not a properly working CNS and circulatory system at that point, I never claimed that. The point is that it's more developed than a blob of cells, blobs of cells don't have pharyngeal arches. :P

You obviously aren't very versed in philosophy as you don't seem to understand the question of minds and the preposition here. The point is that in all actuality you can't even be sure a brain is required to be sentient, that's the jest of it. However, my argument is not base on potential sentience. I'm sure you wouldn't want to be aborted while unconscious during sleep. Yes, you have memories the zef doesn't have as you have been awake, but still, does that automatically make it right?

Personally, in terms of drug use and circumcision, I don't think it is any of my business (or anyone else's who is not involved). As long as you aren't breaking the law, do it if you want.

Absolutely. I would still believe that abortion being illegal would have significantly larger negative effects than positive overall, but I would definitely be deadset against it if it were outlawed.

My personal moral beliefs are overidden by my belief in the necessity of law and order on many subjects. Law always takes precedent.
