Yeah. But no one talks about the long-term psychological impact on the woman when she terminates a living life form inside of her.


What about the long term psychological impact of a woman who didn't have everything figured out for herself, made a poor decision and has to now figure out how to take care of herself and another life for the next 18 years? What about the long term psychological impact of the child born into that environment?


every choice has consequences, but at least, dont let govt impose the choice or the consequence. respect me as an autonomous living being to make them.

we not lving in themiddle of the rainforest. if the gyul want to bool down, she hadda know what could happen. and also be free to choose what happens after. if the man dont like the choices after, then he shoudl have acted accordingly, in the first place.

me, i eh wnat no unnecessary tax money minding some dumb girl pickney for 18yrs.

do what the fax u want, no taxes involved at any point, tho.


Plenty of sense in what you wrote. I wonder if our parents had made the decision to abort us, for whatever reason, if we would be having this conversation today.

If a baby's heart starts to beat around 21-30 days after conception - was the baby dead before that?
It sure wasn't dreaming.

Higher brain structures only start to appear between weeks 12 and 16.

Coordinated brain activity required for consciousness does not occur until 24-25 weeks of pregnancy.

Alive but no brain? Hmm.

Medical definition of human and alive doesn't necessarily mean everyone will use that as their yard stick and their opinion is equally valid especially when tax payer dollars are involved.


Exactly. The position has no objectivity.

Some people believe whatever makes their panties cream.

One of the biggest arguments in favour of abortion is that a fetus cannot feel pain while in the womb.

How the hell can a doctor say that a fetus cannot feel pain at 24 weeks. What scientific methodology did they use to arrive at such a conclusion.

"The report concludes that fetuses under 24 weeks must be pain-free, because at that age the wiring doesn’t exist to send pain signals from nerves around the body to the cortex, the area of the brain where pain is experienced."

(Any Bible version you would like, from the NIV, NKJ or even the 1599 Geneva)

Numbers 5:11-31
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Numbers%205%3A11-31&version=NIV


23 ‘The priest is to write these curses on a scroll and then wash them off into the bitter water. 24 He shall make the woman drink the bitter water that brings a curse, and this water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering will enter her. 25 The priest is to take from her hands the grain offering for jealousy, wave it before the Lord and bring it to the altar. 26 The priest is then to take a handful of the grain offering as a memorial[c] offering and burn it on the altar; after that, he is to have the woman drink the water. 27 If she has made herself impure and been unfaithful to her husband, this will be the result: When she is made to drink the water that brings a curse and causes bitter suffering, it will enter her, her abdomen will swell and her womb will miscarry, and she will become a curse. 28 If, however, the woman has not made herself impure, but is clean, she will be cleared of guilt and will be able to have children.


Bitter Water? Well, that's in the Bible too!
Revelation 8:11
The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters turned bitter, and many people died from the waters that had become bitter.
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%208-11&version=NIV


Wormwood has been known since very ancient times to do this https://muvs.org/en/topics/t-plants/mugwort/





So it's literally in the Bible on how to perform abortions.
Set of circle jerking hypocrites.

Wow pretty interesting read. But personally I never use religion to justify my stance on abortion. I always say if you need a religious text to tell you taking the life of an unborn is wrong you have bigger issues. Same as with homosexuality, if people need a Bible to tell them it's disgusting for two hard back man to play hide the hot dog then some moral compasses need to be recalibrated

Nobody can change or affect your thoughts and that's absolutely your own business, once you leave people alone. They can live rent-free in your head forever that's up to you, once you leave people alone and don't interfere in their affairs and their business.

No it didn't pal. HIV was around for a long, long time, but unidentified. It's only when Reagan started his hatred campaign and policies that gay people became the spotlight scapegoat for his voters. Try reading some more instead of wasting your time on other people's affairs. They're living rent-free in your head and you're wasting your productivity thinking about all these things that simply do not even affect you.

But let's stay on topic here, maybe you can tell us about your womb and how many babies you successfully brought to life into this world. I mean, your arguments revolve around how this affects you right? Or is it "will somebody think about the unborn children but after they're born that's not my business anymore!"

By similar arguments if the state and victims want to execute a convicted murder why do people who it is none of their business get involved? Namely the same amnesty international who vehemently support abortion. Kinda hypocritical there don't you think?

It's not the same thing. For the record, I do support the death penalty when the evidence is 100% sure and not circumstantial. They're arguing that the State is executing a living person.

A baby is born and alive when it leaves the womb and can breathe whether assisted or on its own outside the womb. That's why abortions are not recommended in later stages. That's why stillborn is not considered alive even though fully developed. Outside the womb it is not alive. That's why a miscarriage is not alive. That's why babies can be born with severe genetic defects and die very soon after leaving the womb, but they were defined as alive. A fetus is not alive. It may have certain biological functions but the definition of alive is stated above. You're only pretending that it is because you have feelings and completely ignoring the actual living being that is carrying the fetus into life when it will be born.

Again, you only care about the unborn. You're the champion of something that does not exist, has no feelings and does not actually affect you in any way. After they're born, that's not your business anymore, like the typical anti-abortionist who is severely under-educated on the reality of the topic, but you have a lot of feelings about it. But after they're born... "not my problem."

I am not here to change your mind, so I'll sign off this topic now.

WHAT? A fetus is not alive? If you ever come back to this thread, please state your source of reference for this outrageous statement.

So you are saying that a woman is carrying a dead fetus all through the term of her pregnancy and it only becomes alive when it leaves the womb.. Okay then.

The actual living being carrying the fetus had no say in the pregnancy. No woman does. Conception is beyond our control. That means that none of us chose to be here. At least not that we can remember.

Anyways:

Maybe, you should read this:

Then this:

A dead fetus?
Then that would be a miscarriage and the womb will eject it. I didn't say it was dead. I said it was not defined as alive. But that's how some people only interpret the world around them: black or white and nothing else. And it's usually around between 20 and 24 weeks when brain activity occurs that distinguishes it from a mass of organized cells; it's at this point that it likely has a chance to survive outside the womb and is thought to have brain function high enough to consider it alive and human if it can breathe outside the womb. When it leaves the womb it is born. Else it is unborn and the mother has autonomy over her body and what it contains. This is a defined point in Biomedical Ethics and determines the cut off point for abortions in many countries up to 24 weeks. https://www.mediafire.com/file/xboa837x ... .pdf/file/
[PDF attached full paper of https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21146341/]

But once again (of course) the point that you are missing is the autonomy of the woman, the one who carries the fetus into life. Everything you said so far completely ignores her, her existence and her right of choice, her safety, her health, her mental well-being... it's all about an unborn entity that does not exist. You are the champion of this entity. It cannot challenge you in any way. Once it's born however "well they can get adopted." Dust your hands, the saga ends there with you anti-abortionists. Have you ever adopted?

Why are you concerned about fetal pain, but don't consider the pain of the mother or the possible surgical procedures when the baby is born, like circumcision? Or removal of an eye because of retinoblastoma. Or what about fetal genetic cell therapy inside the womb so Huntington's Disease won't develop after birth? That "pain" would be ok though? The baby consented to that I suppose? The baby has no memory of pain. It is not traumatic in any way to its development. Have you ever been under general anaesthesia? You know how that works? General anesthesia works by interrupting nerve signals in your brain and body. It prevents your brain from processing pain and from remembering what happened during your surgery. It blocks your memory of the trauma of the surgery so you cannot remember you were in pain and it does not affect your psychology such as developing PTSD. You get knocked out and have no memory of it occurring, all you remember is waking up. So why is fetal pain so important to you?




So you want to start building a house. You buy material, draw plans, get approval, clear the land, build drains. Not a house yet right? Lay foundation. House yet? 4 walls. Plumbing. House yet? Put up the roof. Yes it's now a house, you can live in in and take shelter, even though it's not complete. But was it a really a livable house before the roof? Or was it nothing before? Either a house or nothing according to you? Must be black or white. Nothing else according to you.

Okay, I have to go real slowly here.

The heart starts to beat around 21 days after conception (about 3 weeks). Is the fetus "not alive" between 3 weeks and 20 / 24 weeks when brain activity allegedly begins?

Please enlighten me - Is there a gray area between being alive and being dead?

If it is unborn - does that mean it is not alive?

Is it only "alive" when it can breathe outside the womb and not while inside?

Now about the mother: She is a vessel within which the baby is carried and nourished until it is time for birth. She can make any decision she wants. But each decision has consequences. Some women never get over having an abortion. That is a hidden secret.

I have not adopted but I know people who have and are very happy. The "system" does not make it easy for people to adopt.

About fetal pain: Science tries to salve its conscience by saying a fetus cannot feel pain. I wonder how they know this? Through neurological studies?

I wonder, in the animal kingdom, if a pregnant animal - dog, cat, goat, sheep, etc - willingly choses to abort its fetuses / unborn offspring..

It is a good thing that your mother chose not to abort you or else we would not be having this conversation!

I didn't say it was dead. I said it was not defined as alive.

But that's how some people only interpret the world around them: black or white and nothing else. And it's usually around between 20 and 24 weeks when brain activity occurs that distinguishes it from a mass of organized cells; it's at this point that it likely has a chance to survive outside the womb and is thought to have brain function high enough to consider it alive and human if it can breathe outside the womb. When it leaves the womb it is born. Else it is unborn and the mother has autonomy over her body and what it contains. This is a defined point in Biomedical Ethics and determines the cut off point for abortions in many countries up to 24 weeks. https://www.mediafire.com/file/xboa837x ... .pdf/file/

But once again (of course) the point that you are missing is the autonomy of the woman, the one who carries the fetus into life. Everything you said so far completely ignores her, her existence and her right of choice, her safety, her health, her mental well-being... it's all about an unborn entity that does not exist. You are the champion of this entity. It cannot challenge you in any way. Once it's born however "well they can get adopted." Dust your hands, the saga ends there with you anti-abortionists. Have you ever adopted?

Why are you concerned about fetal pain, but don't consider the pain of the mother or the possible surgical procedures when the baby is born, like circumcision? Or removal of an eye because of retinoblastoma. Or what about fetal genetic cell therapy inside the womb so Huntington's Disease won't develop after birth? That "pain" would be ok though? The baby consented to that I suppose? The baby has no memory of pain. It is not traumatic in any way to its development. Have you ever been under general anaesthesia? You know how that works? General anesthesia works by interrupting nerve signals in your brain and body. It prevents your brain from processing pain and from remembering what happened during your surgery. It blocks your memory of the trauma of the surgery so you cannot remember you were in pain and it does not affect your psychology such as developing PTSD. You get knocked out and have no memory of it occurring, all you remember is waking up. So why is fetal pain so important to you?




So you want to start building a house. You buy material, draw plans, get approval, clear the land, build drains. Not a house yet right? Lay foundation. House yet? 4 walls. Plumbing. House yet? Put up the roof. Yes it's now a house, you can live in in and take shelter, even though it's not complete. But was it a really a livable house before the roof? Or was it nothing before? Either a house or nothing according to you? Must be black or white. Nothing else according to you.

A baby is born and alive when it leaves the womb and can breathe whether assisted or on its own outside the womb. That's why abortions are not recommended in later stages. That's why stillborn is not considered alive even though fully developed. Outside the womb it is not alive. That's why a miscarriage is not alive. That's why babies can be born with severe genetic defects and die very soon after leaving the womb, but they were defined as alive. A fetus is not alive. It may have certain biological functions but the definition of alive is stated above. You're only pretending that it is because you have feelings and completely ignoring the actual living being that is carrying the fetus into life when it will be born.

Again, you only care about the unborn. You're the champion of something that does not exist, has no feelings and does not actually affect you in any way. After they're born, that's not your business anymore, like the typical anti-abortionist who is severely under-educated on the reality of the topic, but you have a lot of feelings about it. But after they're born... "not my problem."

I am not here to change your mind, so I'll sign off this topic now.
