Good, because I really don't appreciate being told how immoral I am for how I would have dealt with my rape if I had ended up being pregnant from it. I am not the immoral one who might have made me pregnant when I dindn't want to be pregnant--MY RAPIST IS THE IMMORAL ONE, I WAS JUST DEALING WITH THE FALLOUT HE LEFT ME WITH.

So yeah, bye Mr. Judgy McJudgerton.


Reading and posting on message boards may expose you to opinions you don't appreciate.

Forums are for discussion, not validation of your opinions in a comfortable echo chamber.

Until you have a working womb and need to think about these things from a real personal and informed perspective rather than an uninformed perspective, your opinion is irrelevant, thankfully.


I think I have already covered this. I don't need a womb or personal experience with abortion to be able to think about the morality of this topic. It's like saying, unless you have been murdered, committed a murder or held a murder victims hand in their last moments, your opinions on murder are irrelevant. If the experience of those who do grants them obviously superior, infallible morality and logic, let them state their opinions and blow me of out the water. I can take it, if I am shown to be wrong I will make a generous retreat and thank my opponent for educating me.

This is off topic but the cultural revolution of the 60s is what lead to the legalisation of all but unlimited abortion. There is no reason another cultural revolution will not occur and lead to its banning.

Women won't allow them to change, and we have more political power than we've ever had in the past, so get used to it.


A certain type of woman. You infer that no woman could possibly share my opinion, you'd be wrong.

Quote:
Abortion isn't going anywhere, so arguing against it is so pointless and a waste of your time and energy.


If that's true there is no harm done in discussing it. It's my time to waste.

I've also never told anybody in this thread what to do with their bodies. The things that I've mentioned are also scientific facts. Also, cells need to be alive to multiply.

I also don't play God.

Don't put words in my mouth. Having a scientifically-unfounded opinion doesn't make anyone "r*******", it just means they haven't done the research.

also don't use that word please

But either way, if you make one exception for abortion than really, you're saying the medical procedure of abortion itself is OK. It's just you don't think women ourselves actually have the right to choose an abortion,and thus iltimately be able to make choices about our own lives and health. We need Very Moral Men like you to decide when it might be OK for us to have an abortion--like if we might die. How gracious of you! Buuuuuut giving that ANY pregnancy can be life-treatening because pregnancy is inherently a risky biological event, I wonder where we are suppose to draw the line? Any OB-Gyn will tell you you can't actually know when a woman "might die" from a pregancy until she actually has died, and then,whoops, it's a little too late your crusading moralizing! What a pickle!


Is it true that you can't actually know when a woman might die from a pregnancy until she has actually died?

Almost happened to us, so...yeah.

If we hadn't gone in to see what was wrong the day we did, it's likely my wife wouldn't have woken up the next morning, or maybe the one after that. We lost the fetus - had actually lost it weeks earlier and didn't know it - but her body kept trying to keep it 'alive' despite it poisoning her. If they hadn't had had experienced caregivers who had the practiced skill to perform a D&C (abortion), my spouse would be dead now and our later beautiful, wonderful children would never have been born.
