pro life vs pro choice

[Phoenix]

Pro-choice in most situations, but I'm actually quite torn on the issue since recently reading about fetal development. However I believe the woman's right to her body overrules until the fetus is viable; It is, after all, essentially a parasite on her body until that time.

Define "viable" ...

Can survive outside of the womb

 

[Grace]

It is my choice if I want to rape Grace

Im not in my teens any more, asshole. My choice in this time of my life would be to stick my 357 in your ass and blow fowards to blow your parts to smithereens if you even tried. Or anyone else for that matter.

I'm thinking he's just making a point, not saying he's gonna rape you.

I know.

Just because I believe a woman has rights to believe somewhat different than I do, I am pro choice. Has to do with the whole small government thing.

Personally I am very thrilled protection worked and I never got the wrong girl pregnant. (I mean we are talking protection worked enough times to almost have to count on both hands lol)

Can survive outside of the womb

With or without any support?

Is a preemie considered viable or no?

Parasite?

Uhhhhhmmmm yes. It is, by definition, a parasite. Sorry if it's not PC, but it's accurate nonetheless.

Has nothing to do about PC, and no, not accurate.

an organism that lives on or in an organism of another species, known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment.

Parasite?

That's a typical term that some use - mostly I've heard trolls use it (not saying you are Cuyo) to flame the abortion threads cuz they know it will tick people off.

The baby lives off the mother, via the umbilical, is sheltered within her body, etc. - so, "parasite".

I didn't know the unborn were Democrats

Maybe they need to unionize...

Old enough to get a job and pay rent?

It's dependent upon the mother... Takes nutrients that would otherwise go to her, cannot survive without the host (mother), and poses a potential danger to her health.

Maybe parasite is an accurate description, maybe not. Some definitions specifically say "Another species," some just say "Another organism." The premise remains the same.

So "kids" up to about 30 can be nixed?

 

[Grace]

What about 'can survive outside the atmosphere'?


Can Grace survive XXXXXXX , outside the environment she naturally belongs in and is designed to survive in?

Youre ignoring your own thread you started to get my attention. Care to go back there and enlighten me?

And the homeless, the mentally ill, the elderly, disabled veterans...

 

[Phoenix]

And the homeless, the mentally ill, the elderly, disabled veterans...

Obviously - they are of no use, we don't need or want them, they do not fit into our lives, they are complications ... is that kind of what you're saying?

Oh, that's a good point, too.


I was just talking about people who can't fend for themselves- you know, non-viable parasites


But now that you mention people we don't want (*cougheugencismargaretsangercough*), we can add Democrats to the list, too

Amazing that political discourse never gets anywhere in this country...

Hey, they're not my arguments

 

[Phoenix]

We always have fun.

Life is short.

 

[Montrovant]

I went with depends.

My personal feelings and my feelings about what should be legal or what is best for society sometimes differ.

Until there is a certain amount of development, I don't think of the fetus as a person. I don't know if we can accurately determine a point at which brain development would change my opinion from potential to person, so it's hard to give an exact time when I think abortion should no longer be accepted. I definitely do not think abortion should always be illegal.

13-5 in favor of pro-choice.

Interesting...
