The vast majority of pregnancies aren't from rape. It's not like there are 10s of thousands of women every day getting pregnant from rape.

The majority of rapes are because a woman consented to sex. They can not raw dog and use some kind of protection but even then you're still running a risk and risky behavior having to deal with the consequences. Women can also not have sex if they don't want to get pregnant.

I'm 47 and I never wanted a kid, and I never had despite having my fair share of sex because I used protection and turned it down when none was available. Ive also never wanted to lose what little money I had so I don't go gamble. Ive worked in dangerous environments but I'm fine because I was careful and used protective equipment and so on. I am responsible with my life in general.

People like aoc seem to have this idea they are victims and are required to get pregnant and the only solution is abortion. My body my choice, well it's also your choice to not put your body in a situation that leads to you murdering a unborn baby.

I understand rape babies are a different story. But when you're dealing with 300 million people sometimes you can't make rules and exceptions for every single person that is in the minority. And women getting pregnant from rape are in the minority.

So the point is, you support murder for SOME human beings. Thanks for the honest moment

huh? i precisely don't vote for Dems because of their radical pro-choice beliefs, and i would've voted for Chris Sununu for president but he is a pro-choice establishment moderate Republican

 

[TNHarley]

Why is it "horrendous"?

You're not an honest person.

I think abortion is a horrendous act. I just dont want to shove my morals down other peoples throats because im not authoritarian.

 

[TNHarley]

But that's government interfering with a person's CHOICE

Leftist logic just doesn't hold up

Thats impeding on ones liberty... Thats the dumbest analogy I have heard in a while. And I post on USMB, so congrats on that...

 

[TNHarley]

IUDs is a state located where?

Awww poor angel is all in his feelz so he resorts to retarded questions. Like a little girl would

 

[Blaster]

i would've voted for Chris Sununu for president but he is a pro-choice establishment moderate Republican

A RINO.

 

[TNHarley]

he does. he's my only bro on these forums, and that's for a reason. he's an awesome dude

I dont

 

[basquebromance]

I dont

lol how can i be mad at you? sometimes i get frustrated that you take weekends off when i send you tons of songs on New Music Friday. other than that, ZERO complaints!

 

[talksalot]

IUDs

Maybe because of the health risks.

For reasons that will become obvious, I will intersperse my commentary on the author's article and related matters as I review the author's sometimes hilariously satirical observations in the order they're presented.

AOC's ‘forced pregnancy' nonsense​

Opinion by Katelynn Richardson​

​

“Forced pregnancy is a crime against humanity,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) wrote on Twitter on Sunday.​

As many in the comments were quick to agree, yes, rape is a crime. Seeing through Ocasio-Cortez’s ridiculous statement, commenters noted that the killing of innocent unborn children is also a crime.​

Interjection: oh, well, Alexandria Ol' Crazy-Eyes-Cortez is not the sharpest tool in the shed.

“Forced pregnancy,” like the equally absurd phrase “pro-forced birth,” is another way to suggest those who desire to protect unborn life have malicious intent. Yet, in the majority of situations leading to abortion, there are ways to avoid pregnancy, as some abortion advocates apparently just discovered. Women who oppose the Dobbs decision have kindled a renewed passion for one time-tested method of preventing pregnancy: abstinence. The word was even trending on Twitter on Saturday.​

“Because SCOTUS overturned Roe V. Wade, we cannot take the risk of an unintended pregnancy, therefore, we will not have sex with any man–including our husbands–unless we are trying to become pregnant,” a #SexStrike pledge circulating on Twitter says:​

​

Interjection: hence, the time-tested method that supposedly doesn't work. Zoom Right over their heads!

The hilarious attempt to outwit conservatives by adopting conservative ethics aside, other narratives that cast pregnancy in a negative light are far more disturbing. Media headlines grappling with the overturn of Roe v. Wade emphasize the health consequences of pregnancy, leaving many women sincerely frightened that their lives are in danger without abortion.​

​

Those deriding abortion bans falsely claim treatments necessary to save the mother, such as in cases of ectopic pregnancies and miscarriages, will be prohibited. In doing so, they ignore the definition of an abortion: the intentional killing of an innocent human life. Ectopic pregnancies, which occur when an embryo implants outside the uterus where it cannot survive, can truly be fatal to the mother. The goal in treating them is not taking a life. It is to save the life of the mother when there is no way to save the baby. It’s not an abortion, and it’s not prohibited.​

Interjection: here I must disagree with the author who is unwittingly conflating killing and murder. Actually, a very early chemical termination of a pregnancy, whether it be normal or ectopic, is an abortion entailing the killing of a developing human life in the zygotic stage of gestation. The developing life is being killed. It cannot come to term and would kill the mother if not terminated and dissolved. In this instance, abortion is a legitimate medical procedure. Of course, the ultimate takeaway here is that such medical abortions would not be prohibited, but we should not use euphemistic terms to describe what they are as if what they are necessarily something nefarious. Intentionally killing a human life that cannot come to term in the first place is simply not the same thing as intentionally killing a human life that can for the sake of some expediency. The former is an ethical medical abortion; the latter is not.

Treatment for women who have experienced miscarriages is likewise not in jeopardy, even when treatments use similar techniques as abortions, like a dilation and suction procedure or medication. Treating a pregnancy loss is, again, far different from inducing an abortion. Even in cases in which the pregnancy poses a threat, it does not necessitate abortion. Leading OB/GYNs acknowledge that separating the mother and fetus can be done without intentionally seeking to kill the child.​

Interjection: Indeed! And this goes to the arguably biggest lie of the proabortion agenda, regarding the supposedly vaguely defined exceptions in abortion prohibitions relative to the life of the mother and the supposed confusion over proper medical care. See my refutation here:

Coming to a Red State near you....

People who oppose banning AR 15s need to be consistent in their advocacy of “states’ rights” and likewise oppose ‘banning’ abortion. Another Moonbat misrepresenting the Constitution again

To be fair to Coyote, yes, there are immediately and hopelessly fatal and crippling congenital diseases that unborn babies can have, but these too are very rare. Moreover, they are known, and there's absolutely no reason prohibitions cannot make definitive exceptions accordingly.

“Certainly we're not about forcing women to be pregnant,” Dr. Christina Francis, board member of the American Association of Pro-Life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said in an NPR interview. “But, you know, once they are pregnant and there's another human life at stake there, then our job as physicians is to provide excellent care to both of those patients.”​

​

Supposed health threats extend beyond these difficult scenarios to include inconveniences to the mother. Horrifyingly, some categorize “fetal anomalies” — the risk of a baby having a genetic condition — as an emotional health risk to the mother. CNN commentator Ana Navarro-Cardenas cited this reason on-air Friday, using her own brother with special needs as an example.​

​

Another article in Scientific American lists changes to the woman’s body as a potential risk to continuing pregnancy.​

​

“All of an expecting mother’s organs and bodily systems are put to a nine-month endurance test. The work of the heart and lungs increases by 30 to 50 percent (or even more in a twin pregnancy!), the kidneys filter more blood, the immune system adjusts, metabolic demands increase substantially, and there are myriad other changes,” the article says.​

​

Yes, changes occur to the body during pregnancy. That’s part of the deal. But it’s not a justification for taking the life of the child.​

​

Not only are these arguments tragic, they’re flat-out wrong. A review of 11 studies showed higher risks of death among women who received abortions. In the relentless pursuit of abortion, activists are painting pregnancy as a burden, rather than a gift that brings life. It’s wrong, and particularly harmful to women who have endured the pain of losing a pregnancy through no fault of their own.​

​

I always found this argument stupid. In almost no cases have anyone on the right forced a woman to spread her legs and get fucked. So, no, the right are not forcing pregnancies on women. They did that all by themselves.

ummm ok

I've never used one, but there are health risks with any form of birth control.
