Okay. I will accept this as a challenge to explain why there is a fundamental right to privacy Let’s start with the 4th amendment.: [t]he right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
It is quite clear that the ultimate goal of this amendment is to guarantee people’s right to privacy and freedom from unreasonable intrusions by the government. This right to privacy though not mentioned is heavily implied. Another example of this reasoning (as established in griswold v Connecticut) is that the first amendment implies the freedom to associate with groups, clubs, or unions freely.
Now let’s look at the due process clause 14th amendment No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. This says that no state can make or enforce laws that deprive people of life, liberty or property without due process under the law.
The argument goes that the government cannot insert itself into a position of examining people’s medical records and restricting the medical decisions a person makes about their body without violating the right to privacy implied by the 4th amendment and Griswold v Connecticut and without violating the fundamental liberty to make decisions about your own body and healthcare without due process of law.
It is very straight forward. You have an established right to privacy and an established right to make decisions about your healthcare freely ergo states cannot pass laws that restrict you from exercising those rights which happen to apply to abortion as well as the right to say get a vasectomy as an adult within the United States
It’s not a baby. Abortions usually occurring before 13 weeks. At 13 weeks it’s no bigger than a lemon. At that stage it barely has a brain or the functions to survive outside of the womb on its own. It’s still a fetus. If a woman decides to have an abortion you or the state should have no say.
First off I wasn't defending the Confederacy, I was just saying what I've heard throughout my life from people that still have the flag. Secondly, life begins at conception and it is wrong to say that the baby isn't as important and doesn't deserve life because it is smaller at that phase of development.
No medically it’s still counted as an abortion. There’s women who’ve lost their baby who cat have it removed because it’s counted as an abortion. Yes life begins at conception, but what’s the difference between an egg, sperm cell, and a zygote? The sperm and egg joining doesn’t mean anything. When abortions happen it’s usually a clump of cells not a baby and it’s barely even a fetus 😭
Again just stating what I had heard, not saying I agree with that flag. The removal of an already dead fetus is considered different from an abortion in the sense we're talking. Also people like the say "clump of cells", and stuff like that but it's still a developing human and technically we're all just a clump of cells.
No, it’s not different from what we’re talking about. The removal of a dead fetus is considered an abortion. Banning abortion gets rid of access to the removal of a dead fetus. Doctors are scared to remove the fetus so many women end up septic because of it. It’s human cells yes, but it’s not a human. It has to ✨develop✨ into a human.
Not all clumps of human cells are equal. Saying a FULLY DEVELOPED human is a clump of cells is biologically inaccurate and a massive over simplification as to what a HUMAN is😭 I can eat, shit, piss, and breathe. I have fully formed organs, skin, and hair. A zygote doesn’t. A zygote is a clump of cells. A fetus is a mass of tissue until it starts showing characteristics of a human.
They can’t be sued. Ppl like u who want to ban abortion are the reason shit like this happens. A woman in I’m pretty sure Georgia was medically brain dead and her family wanted to pull the plug. But because of the ban on abortion they couldn’t because she was pregnant and it wasn’t even guaranteed the baby would survive after birth. They forced this woman to stay alive just to force her to give birth and the baby die anyway…
First off, I can see your point but if she was already brain dead why not try to save a life out of the tragedy? Also how can you have human cells and not be human? And sperm cells aren't the same as a fertilized egg just as there is no ban on the woman taking something to stop the sperm from fertilizing.
They created more tragedy by allowing her to carry it full term. There was no grantee that he would’ve survived and he didn’t. So they forced this family to not only loose a daughter, sister, cousin whatever, but a nephew, cousin, grandson ect. Just because something contains human cells doesn’t mean it’s human. Teratomas contain human cells…are they human?
If you can't afford the medication or the child don't have sex, it's not like you catch the flu and you're pregnant you have to actively engage the the activity of child making. Sperm isn't considered the same as a fertilized egg for the same reason there isn't a chicken in your eggs from the grocery store, there is no creation of life without the combination of the sperm and egg.
And on top of that, assault and abuse does happen. Women are pressured into sex, relationships where abusive men baby trap them, and rape. “Well rape only makes up a small percentage of abortions” we actually don’t know that. The majority of abortions are undisclosed and a large portion of rapes go unreported. So we actually don’t know how many women are getting abortions due to rape. We shouldn’t take that away from people
Because a chicken egg at the grocery store isn't fertilized. Also, not every human cell is a fetus, a red blood cell isn't going to develop into a child. Furthermore, humans and I believe dolphins are the only animals that really have sex for pleasure, but it's primarily for the creation of offspring.
No, a lot of animals have sex solely for pleasure. Pigs, orcas, sea otters, other apes like chimps and gorillas, lions, and rabbits. Bats have oral sex ffs. We aren’t the only species that have sex solely for pleasure. Even an egg that has been fertilized isn’t considered a chicken until it hatches.
It is a chicken. Also when people are celebrating the news of a baby it is called a baby shower not a fetus shower or a clump of cells shower. Also circling back to something else you said, anyone that has taken biology 101 knows all living things are made up of cells so the clump of cells argument is invalid
Horses have even been recorded having sex just for pleasure. Feral mares have been documented allowing stallions to mount them even though they aren’t in heat. So it’s actually fairly common(I’m a zoology major) I’m happy ur actually ok with people having abortions when it comes to things like rape and life being in danger. I personally believe if a woman wants an abortion she should be allowed to have it no matter the circumstances.
Do I agree they should get abortions after the brain is developed and it looks more human? Personally no, but I will never know what it’s like to be pregnant or go through child birth so what I think doesn’t matter so I’m gonna remain prochoice because I still believe women should have the right to bodily autonomy.
Yeah I suppose you as a zoology major is more informed on animals sex for pleasure than I would be. However, the argument still stands outside of rape and life of the mother why should the baby be killed for the mothers lack of responsibility. Everyone knows there is a chance if they have sex, every condom box says not 100% guaranteed to prevent pregnancy or spread of STDs
A fertilized egg isn’t a chicken. Advanced biology states that describing a fully developed human as “a clump of cells” is a massive over simplification. A zygote is quite literally a clump of cells😭 hence why I said a fetus is a mass of tissue because it is. We also call snakes poisonous so semantics rlly isn’t a good argument for this
It’s not a lack of responsibility. If anything it’s more responsible. If you know you can’t afford a baby, aren’t mentally stable for a baby, or have the support to have a baby the most responsible thing is to not have a baby. These women aren’t “irresponsible” for wanting an abortion. Even people who practice safe sex(getting STD/STI tests, on birth control, spermicide, ect) can still end up with an unwanted pregnancy and there’s nothing wrong with her terminating the pregnancy…
A fertilized chicken egg is a developing chicken. Yes it is an oversimplification but still fundamentally correct. You shouldn't be able to kill a baby just because it's smaller than you. Also in the majority of cases in most states if a pregnant woman is murdered it is charged as double.
I’m letting yk now so u don’t think i abandoned the conversation, im currently driving with my boss and coworker outta state to pick up a horse and we’re getting close to the farm so im gonna be gone for idk how long because when we get back ive got stuff to do around the farm/work with my donkeys. If im in the mood and not hella tired when i get home we can continue the conversation then
Stressful but rewarding when the trading takes. It’s a lot of trial and error. Every animal is different so one method isn’t gonna work on all. I will say, I NEVER hit my animals. Hitting animals for no reason isn’t a form of training. I only hit animals when injury or my life being in danger is a possibility ie im being charged or it’s turning to kick me.
