And the wheels of the clown car continue spinning. I guess it's only natural for right wing politicians to say insane things like this (no matter what country they are from)

I wouldn't be surprised if Carson and Trump get on the 2016 Republican ticket. :x

It's like Carson and Trump are competing to who would say the most stupid thing, and their stupid statements are compiling republicans to vote for them. :(

Well, abortion is killing unborn kids and slavery is putting them to work.

Slavery sounds better if I had the choice of one or the other.

Sometimes I wonder why some women become pregnant, then have an abortion.

Slavery is more than putting people to work actually.

Also a large majority of abortions occur before there is even a proper fetus....they prevent development into a child. I'd say slavery is worse since it deals with living people not a collection of cells and tissue with a chance at becoming a living person should it make it all the way through pregnancy.

Enslaving children seems quite worse than not having given birth to said children.

Hmm well there is accidental failure of contraception methods, like a condom breaking or a pill not working since there is the chance it won't....and not wanting a child, not being able to afford one as well. Of course there is a morning after pill ...but its possible especially in the case of the pill failing that they won't realize it was ineffective till being tested positive for pregnancy.

Lets see aside from that a woman who becomes pregnant might have health issues to where pregnancy is too risky.

There is the case of rape where sex is forced and they might become pregnant...are you going to be the one to tell a woman in that situation 'by the way you have to give birth to the rapists child'? Probably not.


Or last but not least a woman just up and decides out of the blue to be pregnant just so they can have an abortion, cause in reality it doesn't take two people to make a clump of cells that can turn into a baby.... :roll:

Yeah, it's like being forced to do stuff against your will and you receive little benefit from it other than food and shelter, with little in the way of rights. Kinda reminds me of school, actually.

I'd much rather that than death, whether it's inside my mother or as an infant (little difference between the two insofar as my perspective as said child is concerned).

Nothing or living as a slave. Kinda easy to choose. At least one has some good. The other has nothing.

E: Also, you can at least make choices when you're alive. You've got no choice when dead. If you don't like the slave life, you can kill yourself; that's your choice. Being aborted is taking choice away.

Pretty sure slavery is quite a bit worse than school...maybe when you grow up and graduate school you might become a bit more knowledgeable. Also i didn't know you were a embryo or fetus....we're not talking about rounding up unwanted children and shooting them.

Besides an infant refers to a baby that has been born in its first few months or year of life....an embryo/fetus isn't an infant yet.
