I absolutely think many are hiding behind “women should have the right to their body.”


The thought of every would be aborted baby being instantly thrown into foster care scared tf out of me.

Here's another problem.

Most of the people who are considering an abortion are simply looking for an exit from an inconvenient situation. If given the choice between aborting the child or going through a more involved and expensive surgical procedure to remove the child but keep its life in tact, they would likely choose the abortion.

Why? First of all, they have no moral quandaries about abortion in the first place. They feel no obligation or responsibility for their actions and they will simply choose the most convenient solution, an abortion.

The only way you could possibly work around this is to make this other solution more convenient than simply getting an abortion.

Could it be a tax-payer subsidized choice while an abortion remains an elective procedure?

Then you throw in the utilitarian complaints about abortion laws. "Who will take care of these unwanted lab-grown babies?".

Are there ways to streamline adoption costs and procedures? Government programs responsible for raising and taking care of these kids until adulthood?

All these are tough questions when you can simply just let people kill their kids and reason to yourself that they're not real people anyway.

I don't think that is provable in either case. My take on it is spiritual things are not provable. By definition, myths are not provable. Logically, negatives are not provable.

This type of thing is a matter of people having to agree to disagree. Which is why I tried to make a joke, apparently unsuccessfully.

Though not to worry, I am used to being unsuccessful at humor.

It certainly would end the debate over what's a life.

Is their mind not their body?

Why force a continuation purely because it has started (because you think you get hero points and don't have to think or deal with consequences at all, just wanting the chance at easy free speech) and no other reason, disregarding the entire negative outlook of the offspring and how you are also further limiting the chances of children already suffering in foster care's chances of making it out — much less to a caring family with pure intentions

People need to stop acting like restricting abortion should be punishment for sex

That's like telling people they shouldn't have driven if they don't want to get in an accident

Disagreement with abortion is purely black and white religious thinking, selfish, and unempathetic to anyone actually directly involved. They are upset that if they frick up or have, that they themselves would have to have the kid because they hate their religion too

Considering I watched the uterus of a 50 year old woman be transplanted into the body of a 20 year old woman in order for the 20 year old woman to actually carry the 50 year olds grandbaby, no, I am not kidding.

If the fetus can literally live on its own without the mother, you are opening up a can of legal worms at this point.


What if I say my neighbor causes me mental anguish by being a Bama fan. Can I legally abort/kill him?

In theory, shouldnt this solve the argument over abortion?

1. the pro-choice argument revolves around women having the choice over their body. Well, this would allow the fetus to be removed from their body

2. the pro-life crowd should be happy the fetus is now able to survive into childhood


What says the OT? Please dont move this to the political board. I would like somewhat neutral discussion.

The problem with this is a lot of people would quit using birth control if they could just give the fetus away. There's already a couple hundred thousand orphans in the US, I suspect that number would grow substantially. It is an interesting thought though.

It's pro choice not pro abortion. I don't think I would choose that option if I were in the situation unless the mother's life were in danger or there was a severe genetic problem with the fetus. However, I fully support each person being able to make that choice for themselves.

Since it’s her body I’ve always wondered why someone that aborts a baby, isn’t deemed mentally unstable due to self harming.

It would be interesting for sure. The unborn fetus that cannot survive without the mother's body supporting it is like the vegetable on life support that cannot survive without life support. If one has the decision to pull someone off life support and that being passes away (Terry Schiavo comes to mind), the mother should ostensibly be able to pull the plug on the 'vegetable' that is inside her on life support.

Growing the fetus outside the female womb takes away the main argument of the pro-choice movement about the woman's right to control her body. This thread should be an absolute shite show in no time.

The argument/answer to your question is to not kill babies, but I'm not sure what that needed to be said.

The plural of fungus is fungi. Why isn't the plural of fetus feti?


fetus derives from Latin’s fourth declension, meaning that its etymologically consistent plural form would be fetus — spelt the same but distinguished in pronunciation as fe'to?os (it could also be spelt *fetus or *fetûs, to show this); the -us ? -i rule is a pattern of the second declension.
