A “democracy” that takes away my basic bodily autonomy is no democracy at all. Also there’s no contradiction between fixing the wealth gap/maintaining democracy and abortion. A society with more unwanted children and unhappy mothers will be MORE unequal

There’s no “contradiction” but it doesn’t accelerate us towards fixing those issues. Also even if people did democratically strip people of their bodily autonomy then that’s not a disqualification to being a democracy. And as I’ve said again and again, it’s not your body, there’s another body in you that deserves its own right to autonomy. As I’ve said before, do anything you want with your body as long as it doesn’t involve killing a human being

So putting a child into an orphanage to rot away feeling unwanted and often in pretty bad conditions is better than sparing them a horrible life?

So remove the other person from their body if they don’t want to house it. Seems simple.

For one don’t act like you would abort for the child’s sake you’re doing it purely for yourself. Also why don’t you ask every kid whose ever been in the foster system if they wish their mother would’ve slayed them before they ever saw daylight

Let’s learn about the concept of liability, let’s say I’m playing baseball at the park and I really fuck up a throw and hit a bitch square in the face, I’d be liable for nursing them back to health, in 99.9% of cases this is done financially. However, in the case of an unwanted pregnancy you’re liable for creating the life, the fact that the child isn’t sufficient out of the womb is your own doing, you created the injury, so you are liable to care for that baby.

And if I wasn’t liable? What if I did everything right, contraception wise, but got raped and pregnant. What then.

Even if you used contraceptives but still conceived from voluntary sex you still bare partial liability

Yes, if you couldn’t prove it based on a preponderance of the evidence as is done in civil court you would have to carry the pregnancy to term. It’s a terrible situation but courts fuck up every day for far worse consequences. Faith in courts is a tenant of democracy, in order to enforce the rule of course there needs to be a burden of proof, it’s not an ideal situation in any sense but a handful of rape babies is well worth it to save millions of people

You people are so crazy and remind me to hurry up and schedule my hysterectomy. We get it, you just love the clump of non sentient cells over women.

This has to be rage bait cause wth do you mean a handful of “rape babies” is worth it?? And who exactly are the millions of people being saved in this situation? What about the millions of women and CHILDREN that would be negatively impacted because they were forced to carry to term?? I feel like this is just naivety, thinking that everyone would be happy in the end no matter what

If you don’t plan on having children I would strongly recommend a hysterectomy or vasectomy, I’m already snipped but it’s the absolute best way to avoid an unwanted pregnancy and thus an abortion

Also I really don’t get where your getting that I’m prioritizing the infants life over the women’s convenience but I would prioritize the women’s life over the infants in a child birth complication, so that’s clearly not true

You’re clearly not valuing a woman’s bodily autonomy, which is a human right we even give to corpses, even in cases to save lives. They are not “infants” they are fetuses. These terms are not interchangeable.

When did I ever say everyone would be happy? First of all let’s talk numbers 1.15 million babies were aborted last year while 30,000 babies were conceived in rape. Let’s say the court had a zero percent success rate and all thirty thousand have to give birth, terrible absolutely but to save 1.1 million lives? It’s not even a question

Congrats on not actually addressing a single point I made. Let’s try a hypothetical. Let’s say you were drunk driving and hit another car. You were responsible, but you die and nearly kill a kid in the other car. He needs a kidney, a rare type that only you can provide him. Can the government require the doctors to remove your kidney to give to that child, even if it went against your express wishes to? Or would that be illegal?

There is no “quality” in people, all people are created equal, all people will die equal in the eyes of the law, nothing will ever change that

Very extraneous and rare circumstances but yes, I believe that I should legally obligated to fork over the kidney. Now that’s so rare and the logistics and timeline are so messy while unwanted pregnancy is common but yes in a perfect world

In that scenario you’d still be civilly liable anyway, so under that framework you laid down in our current system abortion would make you liable for wrongful death

Those abortions were had for a reason, whether it be that they didn’t feel ready or were not in a secure enough place in their lives to support another child. Whatever the reason was by eliminating the choice of having an abortion you can’t guarantee a safe place for said child. Now I’m not saying that those who chose to have children are all safe spaces but I feel like it’s better to be safe than sorry no?

I can’t guarantee a safe place if course but I can secure a place, being bad off is a hell of a lot better than being dead. The whole “they’re better off” argument could be used to just kill any person facing hardship

Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that our opposing views of when life actually starts is really the driving factor behind both of our arguments so we can just agree to disagree atp however I still believe that taking the choice away from those in need of those options is not a good idea

You just can’t tell me life begins at birth, that’s just not scientific to me. Also it’s not at all about removing options, it’s simply about protecting the unborn.
