Is abortion still a debated issue in your country?

In Australia we love abortions and have them regularly without any controversy because we're a first world country.
>>
>>52832121
SJWs love abortions but hate eugenics. How come?
>>
>>52832121
In the US we have people who shoot up and/or bomb clinics that perform abortions.
We don't call them terrorists because they're white.
>>
We shouldn't have to end a human life just because some bitch was stupid. It's their dumb ass faults for not being protected in the first place. I think it should only be allowed when either:
-the woman can prove in court that she was raped (this would ideally, of course, come after a reform to the misandrist way that courts handle rape cases now) and reports this within the first two trimesters (maybe first one only, I'm on the fence)
-the couple can prove that they took the necessary steps to prevent having babies (i.e. a used condom that they can prove was used on the date of conception), since sometimes shit fails

Since when can sluts get away with murder by saying "Err, I wasn't thinking!"
>>
>>52832247
>shoot up and or bomb
You can't just make up shit about people with opposing viewpoints, it just shows how insecure you are about your own beliefs.

Interesting. Is he just memeing or do you Americans really have to deal with this on the regular?

Yes and many politicians try to ban or restrict it, because we do not live in a first world country.

Me?
>do you Americans really have to deal with this on the regular?
Not really. I never hear about shit happening at clinics, don't know anyone who has had an abortion, either. Only time I ever hear about it is when people are talking politics, in which it's a relatively big issue but not so much compared to immigration or the refugee crisis or the elections.

>>52832121
>Is abortion still a debated issue in your country?
Yes, abortion is illegal here unless: woman's life/health is endangered, baby is severely deformed or pregnancy was "caused by an illegal act", but some Catholics want to ban it completely (at least formally, i.e. it would be possible, but as so called "contra-type", not as a "positive" legal institution).

Sorry, you call it "justification" in English.

Unfortunately.

Is it true that the more pro-abortion a woman is the more likely it is that she's had an abortion?
>>
>>52832150
Because the point of abortion is not to better the gene pool, it's for the good of the already existing mother
>>
>>52832903
>abortion is murder
>but murder should be OK because the woman was raped
>>
>>52834359
It's only murder in some instances m8, just like how shooting someone can be for self defense. When I said "murder", I meant killing a baby without sufficient cause.
>>
>>52832903
Get the fuck out of here. Both of the things you mentioned would not only completely destroy an already broken legal system, but it would also give the government a horrible amount of control over its citizens sex lives.

You are either an ignorant meme spouter or the worst kind of statist scum.
>>
>>52834410
Killing in self defense is only legal to save your own life. Getting pregnant from rape does not usually put the mothers life in danger. And if it did, abortion would be legal for the exception made for if the mothers life is in danger, there wouldn't need to be another exception for rape. The only reason you would want an abortion after rape is because the mother doesn't want the child.
>>
>>52834412
How so? It's not like a natural right is being taken away like freedom of speech or press, it's an artificial right bestowed by other progressive countries (not that any of that sgould affect its legality but you talk it up like women are endowed with the right to kill their children by birth).

I care more about human life than some bimbo's right to fuck a guy without taking 5 minutes to go buy a condom or some morning-after pills.

>>52834472
The point is that she didn't have a choice in whether or not she wanted to have a baby when she got raped. Why should she be punished if she didn't act irresponsible?
>>
>>52832121
>In Australia we love abortions

you mean Melbourne does?
>>
>>52834565
Why is it suddenly not murder just because the woman didn't chose to conceive it? You're only arguing that murder is justified. And to me, that's just an incredibly inconsistent position .
>>
>>52834649
not that guy but I can see the argument that abortion is ok if the mom's life is in danger because one dead person is better than two. Might as well spare one if you can

Abortion is an interesting concept legally.

If it gets to the point where it

It's by definition alive biologically.

Legally the unborn child is implied to be alive in states where killing a pregnant woman is considered a double murder.

lmao this is so fucking retarded that I don't even know where to begin with it.

~1/3 of fertilized eggs are aborted prior before the mother knows that she is pregnant; are the millions of women whose bodies elect not to carry a baby to term murderers?

abortion that is not late-term/emergency occurs before there is any form of sentience. how is it ''''murder'''' if there isn't any form of cognition there?

do you know what happened when abortion was outlawed in Romania? The murder and overall crime rates skyrocketed...because there were suddenly scores of street children committing crime to survive.

Unless you want many, many children to die of starvation or neglect, the government would have to pay billions of dollars to support children born to mothers who can't afford to raise children. Of course, given the type of person you are, I'm sure you have some perverted way to justify allowing these children to starve to death once they're born and actually sentient human beings because muh personal responsibility or whatever.

I could go on and on, but I don't think your opinions have anything to do with morals or values; I think you're just another adult virgin loser who is bitter towards women because they find you repulsive and jealous towards people who have sex.

They can test for things like consciousness in the womb, it typically doesn't come about until like the third trimester iirc though.

>>52835354
The difference is a fetus NEVER was concious in the first place. For me, being unconscious is only temporary, and while I was concious I have given the power to decide these things to someone in case of an emergency (ie: I got into an accident and am on life support and before that, gave my wife power to decide if they should pull the plug or not).
>>

Holy fuck. You may be the most retarded person I have encountered today. Congratulations.

Is that a serious question? Murder is a deliberate act you fuctard.

>abortion that is not late-term/emergency occurs before there is any form of sentience. how is it ''''murder'''' if there isn't any form of cognition there?
[citation needed]

>because there were suddenly scores of street children committing crime to survive.
Fuck man. Must have been rough on those month old babies if they're already resorting to crime.

Surely this isn't the result of the lack of a social security net in Romania. Nope. It's because people can't murder their kids.

How exactly are all these kids going to starve. They do have parents to care for them. Its not my fault you made a bad decision and don't want to take responsibility.
>>
>>52835308
Sometimes shit happens, condoms rip and nobody notices, hormones get affected by other medicines/drugs etc. And she doesn't notice for 2 months or so, that's 8 weeks.
>>
>>52835354
Yes. If it has not yet developed a consciousness of itself or its surroundings then there is nothing wrong with preventing it from acquiring one.
>>
It's still discussed here. It's only allowed if the birth of the child puts the life of the mother in danger, but I think it should be allowed when:

-The mother's underage (less than 21 yo maybe?)
-The mother simply cannot take care of the child
-The babby's gonna be born fucked up

I don't think abortion should always be allowed though, otherwise people would just have abortinos left and right.
>>
>>52835278
There is plenty of debate in the Netherlands. But we just dont care about stuff like abortions, prostitution, gay marriage, euthanesia and shit like that. It's just common sense.

AFAIK there has never been an actual scientific study on humans. They have done it on rats and the like, but they aren't even sentient. But if you want to send me a link, I'd gladly look it over.

No Anon, having a child is a curse, don't you know? It's not selfish to not want children, it's you taking control and being independent!

...therefore abortion should be legal? No logical connection.
>abortion that is not late-term/emergency occurs before there is any form of sentience. how is it ''''murder'''' if there isn't any form of cognition there?
As I wrote above - all this argument has one logical consequence - it's ethical to kill an unconscious person (actually even a sleeping person).
>do you know what happened when abortion was outlawed in Romania? The murder and overall crime rates skyrocketed...because there were suddenly scores of street children committing crime to survive.
Well, our murder rate didn't rise, actually it's much lower than in the USA and many other countries with legal abortion, in 2013 it was 0,8/100K

I know this isn't what lefty "do whatever the fuck you want" retards like to hear, but has anyone considered not having sex, if the natural result of it is going to be end of your life? No, we have to be able to have our sex! Fuck consequences and nature and shit!

A fetus is also only temporarily unconscious.

But you can get pregnant accidentally when birth control fails. Just like fires can start accidentally because the safety measures (such as flame retardant materials) failed.

Her body deliberately ''''''killed''''' the fetus. Murder!

>[citation needed]
Uh....read a fucking high school anatomy textbook. Was your education really so bad that you don't even know the basic things that happen during embryonic development? Seriously, go to wikipedia or something at the very least. It will take you like 30 seconds to read about. Did you really form an opinion about what people should be able to do with their own bodies and lives without even knowing the basic information about what occurs?

>Fuck man. Must have been rough on those month old babies if they're already resorting to crime.
...babies grow up, you retard. And, in the case of children forcibly born to people who can't afford to raise children, they are often abandoned at a very young age.

>Surely this isn't the result of the lack of a social security net in Romania. Nope. It's because people can't murder their kids.
LOL
You seriously have no idea what happened in Romania, do you? They had one of the strongest social safety nets in the entire world, and they couldn't contend with the flood of unwanted children born to poor and ill-equipped parents.

>How exactly are all these kids going to starve. They do have parents to care for them.
If somebody elects to have an abortion, it means they can't care for a child...

>Its not my fault you made a bad decision and don't want to take responsibility.
"Somebody had sex and the condom broke, which is somehow a bad decision because they had sex when I can't, so they should be forced to make a more permanent bad decision and burdening taxpayers with another mouth to feed/more crime by creating another life that has to scrounge to survive."

literally retarded.

You would very much pay for everyone's '''''bad decision''''' to have sex when the country is destabilized by a massive underclass and the financial burden. History repeats itself.

>>
>>52835659
But it was never concious in the first place before it becomes concious for the first time. It literally cannot care that it would be aborted. On the other hand, I would very much care about my life being ended, because it has already started.
>>
>>52835466
Don't bother, you're communicating with adult virgins who hate the fact that other people are having sex while they're not and want to see them suffer. Just look at the language that these idiots are using. It's dripping with bitter, impotent nerd rage. They have no rational argument, so they're just resorting to arguing based on fee fees and justifying it by calling the removal of a non-sentient biomass ''''''murder''''''
>>
>>52835667
OK. Then don't have sex. You are aware that pregnancy is a possible consequence of having sex, even if you use contraception. If you don't want to take responsibility for your own actions then don't do the actions in the first place.

Why should someone else (the child) suffer because you don't want to face the consequences of your own actions?

Not to mention fire extinguishers, etc. are there to save lives; whereas abortions can only end them.
>>
>>52835507

It's selfish to have children. People who have kids do so for their own vain ends. Meanwhile, the child itself is forced into a lifetime of anguish and misery.
>>
>>52835679
Again, you are incapable of distinguishing between the consequences of an action and the action itself. You chose to have sex just like you chose to get into a car. You can accidentally get into a wreck just like you can accidentally get pregnant, both are likely to happen when the safety precautions failed.
>>

Took a friend's ex to a baby sucker in Salt Lake it was kinda hidden and all it was a weird thing to do and idk don't like killing baby's myself don't really think you should be able to do it. But the hole rape baby thing is kinda jacked up its a hard subject
>>
>>52835679
I know this may be difficult for you to understand but reproduction is not the purpose of sex, reproduction is merely a byproduct f sex, there's an average of only 15 pregnancies for every 1000 acts of sex, we need sex just like we need food, its not like alcohol where it is literally a choice, we are wired to do it but sometimes it doesn't make sense for every couple to have 8 children, its just not sustainable.

>>
>>52835753
So let's get this straight- you think that people should have to pay for the consequences of their actions by burdening society at large with an unwanted life that the parents are ill-equipped to raise and that will likely cost taxpayers massive amounts of money and potentially go on to commit crime or remain in the lower-class. Despite the fact that there is another "consequence" to sex that involves preventing all of this from happening. You would rather see three people fuck their lives up because contraception failed and help destabilize your country at large than see somebody remove a never-sentient cluster of cells that had a ~1/3 chance of being spontaneously aborted within the first trimester anyway. Is this correct?
>>
>>52835324
>are the millions of women whose bodies elect not to carry a baby to term murderers?
I get the feeling that you didn't read a word I said, as someone else basically asked the exact same question and I answered it pretty clearly.
>abortion that is not late-term/emergency occurs before there is any form of sentience. how is it ''''murder'''' if there isn't any form of cognition there?
Because it's the voluntary destruction of something that is set up to become a human life, once it has begun to develop it's gaining its individuality so don't pull the whole "is jacking off murder" shit.
>do you know what happened when abortion was outlawed in Romania? The murder and overall crime rates skyrocketed...because there were suddenly scores of street children committing crime to survive.
The government should have been able to handle poverty, otherwise it's a deep rooted issue that has less to do with abortion than it has to do with plain poverty. Would you suggest that the poor have less children? It would decrease the crime rates among youth.
>Unless you want many, many children to die of starvation or neglect, the government would have to pay billions of dollars to support children born to mothers who can't afford to raise children.
Put them into the adoption system, at least they'll be alive. Also there are plenty of dumb bimbos that aren't neglectful parents, certainly not many who would starve their children to death.
>I could go on and on, but I don't think your opinions have anything to do with morals or values; I think you're just another adult virgin loser who is bitter towards women because they find you repulsive and jealous towards people who have sex.
How is this bitter towards women? I'm just stating my opinion. I fail to see how wanting people to think through their pregnancies is so aggressive and misogynistic. To me it sounds like you're the one getting assblasted and bitter here.
>>
>>52835722
>On the other hand, I would very much care about my life being ended, because it has already started.
Anon, but being unconscious you wouldn't be able to care about anything.
>>
>>52835675
Then send me the link fucker. Don't worry. I'll wait.

>..babies grow up, you retard
You said crime rates went up instantly, you retard.

>And, in the case of children forcibly born to people who can't afford to raise children, they are often abandoned at a very young age.

At least you acknowledge that all you're doing is defending people that don't want to take responsibility for themselves.

>They had one of the strongest social safety nets in the entire world,
[citation needed]

>If somebody elects to have an abortion, it means they can't care for a child...

No it means they don't want to. You vastly overestimate the resources required to raise a child. People in Africa can do it no problem, why can't people in the West? I mean its not like they are earning 10x as much or anything.

>Somebody had sex and the condom broke
Because they weren't aware that that could happen?

>>52835692
There isn't a single citation in that article. I don't care what your qualifications are, you don't get to just say something without backing it up. So I reiterate. There hasn't been a single scientific study to determine when a human fetus becomes conscious.
>>
>>52835883
If someone is forever unconscious, 10/10 times they don't care if you pull the plug.
>>
>>52835791
Are you retarded?
Sexual urges are evolution's way of making us continue the species. It's literally the only biological purpose of having sex. It feeling good i an incentive to make us do it often. Contraception and abortion undermine the whole point, and take the pleasure while cheating the responsibility. I know this term gets thrown around a lot, but it is by definition degenerative, as it puts a stop to nature's method of regenerating the species, and makes people less likely to want kids.
Evolution didn't give us family planning for a reason. If we could naturally choose when to have kids, our species would be nothing compared to what it is. This race was built on unplanned pregnancies.
>>
>>52835883
But in my previously concious state, I already gave the power for someone to decide whether they can pull the plug on my life or not. Fetuses were NEVER able to do that, they never even knew they were alive because they can't think or feel yet.
>>
>>52835848
I don't think that anti-abortion types really think about anything beyond carrying the child to term...like the fact that parenting has a massive influence on the outcome of a child, and that parents of unwanted children are not going to be very good parents. Not to mention the societal burden in regards to financial support and future law enforcement/judicial system fees once these children are grown up. The greatest part is that the anti-abortion cuckservatives on 4chan whine about ''''degenerates''''' without realizing that banning abortion would create scores of them.

It's suddenly not murder because she didn't do it willingly. If someone holds you hostage and forces you to kill someone, a murder may have been committed, but you're not to blame so you shouldn't go to jail.

>>52835398
Having to endure 9 months of prengnancy plus being heavily pressured emotionally and socially to raise a child against your will IS punishment. I don't give a shit if the poor widdle babby gets to live, an innocent women (in most cases quite young) didn't get to live 9-225 months of her life all because she got raped.

Explain to me how it is a burden on society at large. No one is ill-equiped to raise a child. They may not want to, but thats got nothing to do with their ability to do so.

> Despite the fact that there is another "consequence" to sex that involves preventing all of this from happening.
The fuck are you talking about. Abortion is not a consequence of having sex. It is the deliberate act of ending the life of a human child. How can you be having this debate and not know that?

>I get the feeling that you didn't read a word I said, as someone else basically asked the exact same question and I answered it pretty clearly.
You still didn't answer why a never-sentient cluster of cells that had a 1/3 chance of being aborted anyway should be considered a human life.

>Because it's the voluntary destruction of something that is set up to become a human life, once it has begun to develop it's gaining its individuality so don't pull the whole "is jacking off murder" shit.
Unfertilized gametes also have unique sets of chromosomes. Is birth control that renders them unable to attach to the uterine wall murder as well? What's the difference aside from how many cells are involved?

>The government should have been able to handle poverty, otherwise it's a deep rooted issue that has less to do with abortion than it has to do with plain poverty.

Romania was an economically prosperous socialist country when they outlawed abortion. They of all countries were the most equipped to handle a population surge like that. Unfortunately, you can't force parents struggling to survive to be good parents to children they never wanted, and even a prosperous government can't support thousands or millions of abandoned children.

>Would you suggest that the poor have less children? It would decrease the crime rates among youth.

YES. 100% yes. People who can't afford to raise well-adjusted children should not be having them. It is burdensome to society and sets the children up for miserable lives.

>Put them into the adoption system, at least they'll be alive.
What happens when there's a glut of children, or the bioparents give up at an age that makes children almost unadoptable (i.e. past ~3yo)?

But I don't understand why should I care about your "previously concious state"?

even now, with abortion legal, there are still parents to unwanted children who raise them with neglect, causing them to live their lives in poverty and crime because they've never had a stable life and don't know how to achieve one. While some parents would step up, that relatively small number wouldn't account for the large amounts of unwanted children born to neglectful parents and the social instability that this would cause. Even if financial benefits could cover their basic necessities, their home life would damn them anyway.

>How is this bitter towards women? I'm just stating my opinion. I fail to see how wanting people to think through their pregnancies is so aggressive and misogynistic.

You essentially called people with unwanted pregnancies bimbos for the sin of having sex and implying that they made a bad decision and should be punished (for 18+ years). Many, many unwanted pregnancies come from safe sex where the contraception failed or there was a hormonal issue that rendered it ineffective. I agree that abortion shouldn't be taken lightly, but it seems vindictive to permanently ruin/change three lives for what amounts to a technical failure, especially given that the third life isn't sentient yet. Even pro-choice people don't take abortion lightly unless they're crazy feminazis, as evidenced by the large group of unwanted children who are alive today. The ones who resort to abortion are overwhelmingly the ones who absolutely can't raise a child in their current conditions.

Our brain is also wired to reward the consumption of high fat, high energy foods, and yet if we just go along with our instincts and consume as much of it as we can we'll get fat and die from diseases and complications related to that, nature is not perfect, it didn't anticipate us getting to this advanced point where we have so much control over our environment, so following it instead of following common sense is absolutely retarded.

It seems my generation is much more against abortion than generation x was. I know a lot of people around my age who at kids at 16 or 17 and are literally the worst fucking parents. Their children are barely even domesticated. My cousin has a kid whom I refer to as "the goblin" because he runs around making weird noises screeching at people and breaking things when he's upset.

The gun argument only works with your country, because it actually would devolve and destruct the country if guns were banned.

I have a child now but i could of had two.
My wife morned our aborted child it hurt her even now ever time its bought up
Kids don't respawn like in video games liberal

abortion fags are usually faggots and old woman that have affairs and rarely minors

But its not the kids fault that happened why does the kid have to die because of that?

this is my regret that's why it woun't happen again.
the only reason your pro abortion is because

-you ether never saw it happen
- haven't done it before or witnessed it,
- you can't feel pitty,
- your just a empty soul.
- your selffish
Pick one.

I was in the selffish catory and i tell you now you will regret it.
that little person is apart of you and you just killed it
the suffering I cannot even have words for it, the pain to my heart is more unbearable then lossing a family pet and it NEVER goes away.

ITS STILL MURDER. I payed to god to forgive me for 7 years and on the 7th year i got my wish i got another kid and a son but i always remember my frist would of been a girl

Well, I'm only trying to show that this way of reasoning seems to be really strange for me - during his lifetime any given human goes through phases - some are conscious, some are unconscious, statistically we sleep for about 1/3 of our lifetime, so saying that being a human means being conscious is clearly false (not counting other unconscious states/phases we can potentially undergo). Moreover, we all start our life as an uncoscious organism, yes, but then we achieve a conscious stage and then (INEVITABLY) we achieve an unconscious stage, and conscious, and unconscious and so on. Of course, you are saying that a fetus was never conscious, yea, OK, but it/he/she will be INEVITABLY conscious, unless some accident happens (eg. a meeting with some abortionist).
>>
Abortion = murder. It should only be allowed when mom has a risk of dying.

Notice how whenever abortion is brought up, liberals try to frame it as a womens' rights issue?
Clearly it has nothing to do with womens' rights. Conservatives don't sit around and think "What right can we target to make womens' lives harder?"
Thus why liberals need to change the argument into an issue conservatives can't reasonably oppose, since the real argument (an unborn child's right to live) is something they can't reasonably oppose.

What the fuck are you talking about?

When was my argument destroyed?

You use shitty analogies, I point out how they are dumb, and somehow I'm bringing in new arguments? I guess I'll go through it all again, since you're clearly quite slow.

Originally he compared having sex to getting into a car crash.

So I Said: You can get into a car crash accidentally. You can't have sex accidentally. Still have yet to hear you explain how sex is an accident.

Then Mr. Mexico moved the goalposts. He changed his analogy from having sex to getting pregnant.
So I said (In not as many words, I'll admit): If you crash into someone else's car you pay for the damage (taking responsibility). If having sex results in a pregnancy, you raise the child (taking responsibility). I don't see what's so difficult to understand.

Then the analogy gets changed again. Now its comparing having an abortion to providing medical care to a car crash victim.

I fail to see how providing medical care to someone who was in a car crash (saving a life) analogous to murdering a fetus because someone had sex (ending a life). Go ahead explain to me how saving a life is similar to ending a life.

And somehow from all of this you got:
>but I love how every time your argument gets fucked you just bring in another one and act like that means you were right.

Admittedly not as much as I do for other subjects. But there is no way you can say that a fetus is not alive because that is 100% false.

I'll concede that I may be wrong on the whole consciousness point, since I haven't done enough research and its certainly within the realm of possibilities. But a fetus is a living organism conscious or not, you can't debate that.

And it still doesn't change my viewpoint, even if they aren't conscious.

>Not even the most retarded pro-murderers argue that the fetus is not alive.
You;d be surprised how many (especially in the US) are willing to twist elementary school biological facts to obscure that they're murderers. Ask your average abortion supporter about the biological definition of life and you'll just get "muh clump of cells". They have no idea what they're talking about, which is why they're not pro-choice.

It means is you salary paid by a governmental organization (Public) or a private organization.

I'm pretty sure you'd be private since PP is a non-profit which receives government funding.
>>
>>52837077
Well clearly it is alive.
A table is not alive. A "clump of cells" is alive (every single thing that is alive is a "clump of cells"). There's absolutely no argument that a foetus is alive. The problem is liberals subverting things by claiming it's an issue of women being able to choose when they get pregnant, rather an issue of killing a living thing and stripping it of the right to life, which is considered by many as a basic human right. It is still a human, at an earlier point of development.
>>
>>52837077
I guess that depends on how you define alive then. But if you go by the dictionary definition, it's alive, and as I already said this is not debatable. If it wasn't alive, it wouldn't grow (cell mitosis).

I think you're trying to talk about consciousness, bro.

A fetus isn't a baby, come the fuck on. At less than 20 weeks it isn't conscious and it can't comprehend any kind of pain or emotions like an infant can. After that things get fuzzier, but calling the removal of an unthinking lump of tissue with some bits of organs in it murder is totally absurd.

So I can murder you and get away with it?
>>
>>52837151
Wrong. It has nothing to do with "liberals" and up to a certain point - it ain't a baby yet. Its a sack of cells. Anyone who thinks abortion is a political issue let alone an issue is a dumb fuck. You're a dumb fuck. Abortion is green and should be promoted.

At what point does it turn into a fetus (without any rights) to a baby (with all the rights of every other human being)?

cancer is a "clump of cells" btw. should we keep that around or is it murder as well?

>>52832121
After 23 weeks of pregnancy, a baby has a 50/50 chance of surviving outside of the womb and becoming a healthy child (Wikipedia premature births). Any abortion after that point is murder, IMO. Anything before that? Debatable. I still don't like it, but it's debatable.

I'm torn on abortion, I have a cousin that has 5 kids from 3 different fathers. Her parents and herself are super religious so abortion never entered the conversation, now she is raising 5 girls all mostly by herself in government housing and on welfare. I sometimes look after one or two of her kids by taking them out to the movies, stores to buy them toys or the zoo and it breaks my heart because they get really attached to me since their mother can't give them all the same amount of attention that I do.

On the other hand, my sister had an abortion which caused her to go into a depression, dropped out of uni and lose contact with most of her friends. Now she's on disability while living at home with my parents who should be enjoying their retirement years but they're stuck looking after her. When she tried moving in with me for a few months so our parents could travel Europe and America she was a constant attention whore and would hint at hurting herself if I didn't come straight home from work or uni to keep her company.

>>52837177

If we use consciousness as a criteria, abortion could be done much later than it can be now. The limit is somewhat arbitrary and based on appearance and size of the body, not on what goes on in the mind of the child.
>>
>>52837177
And what term exactly should be used then for the deliberate ending of the life of another human?

Are you saying a baby is a cancer?
Cancer is a disease which kills you. Majority of anti-abortionists will tell you it is justified in cases where the mother or baby's life is in jeopardy.
Yes, it's okay to kill cancer cells. They are also not human, and we don't believe the right to life applies to diseases.

Again. The word you're looking for is conciousness.

A fetus is alive from the moment it comes into existence, otherwise it would not be able to perform cell mitosis. I can't believe I'm having to repeat grade school science.
>>
>>52837224

I'm not an expert on the topic, but I'd say by the third trimester they become sentient enough that calling them human is no longer absurd. However I'm still opposed to banning third trimester abortions because there are lots of severe health deformities which can't be detected up until that moment, and I don't think it's reasonable for the government to require a mother to carry a child that they've learned is severely disabled to term.

There are many schools as to when human life begins, but life in this instance is a misnomer. The fetus was always alive.

When people talk about the beginning of human life they're talking about when the fetus becomes a person. This is a completely different issue from whether or not the fetus is alive.

Also, I'm sorry to point it out, but you're clearly dumb as a sack of potatos. First you link me to a site which lists the characteristics of life, then you start talking about the consensus on when life begins. Do you not see how these two things are contradictory? First you link me to a definitive list of what makes something alive, then you tell me there's no consensus. Which one is it?

Please, if you don't know what your're talking about, that's fine, just don't act like you do.

And somehow I'm the retard? baka

I dont't see anything bad with eugenics 2bh. If done moderately it can prevent a lot of suffering, I mean who would really want to have a totally disabled child or a kid with a fatal disease?
Select those who are not disabled and without any fatal diseases and you are good to go

Because where does it end? Once you say that certain human lives are more than others it's a very slippery slope. First its the disableds, then its the gays, then its the communists, then its the jews.

>>
>>52837388

raising a child with severe disabilities can be a terrible emotional burden on the parents and can ruin lives. Imagine if you and your wife found out that your soon-to-be child will never be able to speak, never be able to move or eat unassisted, will never be able to hold a job, will [probably] never find love, and will require constant supervision for the entirety of their lives. You will never perform 90% of the activities you envisioned doing with your child, you will never attend their high school graduation, you will never attend their wedding. You will be stuck spoonfeeding them day in and day out until you and your wife both die and a caretaker replaces you, unless you want to put them up for adoption and let them become a ward of the state where you know they'll probably be neglected.

It would be immensely cruel to force a woman, who was obviously expecting to give birth to and raise a normal child, to undergo such an ordeal.

do you not see how this is contradictory? seriously, my point is that there is no actual consensus among scientists as to when life begins. once again look it up.
and you call me dumb? seriously. just do a quick google search

>>52837615
you stupid fucking faggot, the root of the problem of abortion debate was never "when the fetus is alive" because it's alive by all definitions of "alive" from the moment of conception. Even your fucking sperm cells are live things. The question is about whether or not the fetus is conscious being and thus can understand what's happening to it

No, most people think abortions are evil and a murder, and it's so overwhelmingly an unanimous opinion that it's not even argue about it.

I sometimes hate this place, although they are legal in Mexico City.

>>52837827
Nah mate. Like I said, just hardcore disabled, like the Hartley Hooligans or kids who would die anyway within their first days or weeks.

I wouldn't want my kids to suffer through this just because others feel good if they keep everything and everyone alive who shouldn't be alive.

After all you end the suffering of your pets when they are terminal ill, why let humans suffer?
