Anyway, I wanted to get my two cents in and I hope it turns into a civilized discussion without bomb throwing.

I'm interested to hear your thoughts.

I have a lot to say but I don't get into the BS name calling.




You’re a whore :)

But since it is, why not carve out an exception always for rape or incest?


Half of the states that have abortion bans already do.

Only if you consider socio-political issues as not having any correlation with personal/moral/religious development.

You can consider abortion immoral and still desire a different political policy

You can think that people are going to hell who have an abortion with the day after pill and still think the law should permit abortions until 12 weeks, thinking anyone who does get one is going to hell.

I’m always surprised that most pro-life supporters don’t get this. The overwhelming load of parenthood is born by the woman, even in the best case scenarios.
Thanks for bringing your perspective to this male-dominated board. They’re going to shout you down and call you names. But I appreciate it.

Made it 15 seconds in and already seeing comically idiotic errors.

It’s pretty straightforward: if global relativism is true, then there is at least one absolute truth, and so global relativism contradicts itself. We simply have to ask, “Is it absolutely true that there is no absolute truth?” and smile.


Idiots do smile a lot, though.

I read a lot of your posts so I’m understand your passion for the subject. I’m saying as a mother, it would be devastating to have to tell her that her life that she built is over. No college athletics, no job. I just wish you guys could show some sort of compassion, albeit it’s just a message board, for someone that would have to go through this. It’s something a man can can throw hard opinions at but it could never happen to you. If your answer is tough shite, then so be it. Call me a commie and we can be done.
But I truly wanted to hear some new thoughts just coming from a woman, who votes Republican, but wants to see her party show some solutions besides “ tough shite” to girls who are just as innocent as the pregnancies you want them to carry against their will.

During an abortion, the overwhelming load of anguish and pain is inflicted on the baby, not the woman.

How's that for perspective?

erections have consequences and what about the guy who doesn't want to pay the bills?

Should he be able to demand an abortion?


You women are a mess.

I appreciate your attempt to start a discussion. This is an extreme audience that doesn’t represent…anything, really.

This is just false.

Her life wouldn't be over. It'd certainly impede college athletics, but not a job.

Someone's life would objectively be over, though. Why aren't you worried about their actual life?

Ok. Doubt they would pull her scholarship but yes that would suck.

There are laws regarding this.

Rape is awful and terrible.



Killing a baby is awful and terrible also.

There are a wealth of families looking to adopt.


This isn’t tough shite.


This is about protecting life.

Im not ok with murder based on real estate as a means to deal with trauma.

No one thinks would be ok with a rape victim murdering the rapists child on a soccer field.

Pregnancy and having kids is one of, if not the, biggest factors in the wage gap for women.

I already know what happens to the baby. It’s been beaten to a pulp. I. Asking why there is no mention of a woman whose body has been hijacked against her will. Tough shite I’m getting as the “ compassionate” answer.

Never said abort them. Never said more money. But if you want to mandate pregnancies then we need to come down harder on POS parents. You can not agree but don’t wonder why the kids coming up act the way they do. Parents are already horrible, now we are going to add more kids to the equation. I want to know how to we are going to get a better generation of kids that are born in these situations.

Objectively speaking, being ripped apart limb by limp then having your skull crushed is more painful than having shoved up your vagina.

It's not even close.

There are principled people on both sides of the debate, The absolutist takes on here don't reflect where the country is generally on the issue.

SCOTUS made the right decision but I think everyone underestimated the impact on this election. It might be enough for a horrible candidate like Harris to pull it off.

Not if you believe in anything moral that is immovable you can’t. That is a 100% cop out, and I don’t believe people who say it either. I don’t believe they are true to their own convictions if so easily compromised. And to argue that one can divorce their morals from their politics is laughable considering the immoral morals being shoved down America’s throats by leftists as of late especially, using politics to facilitate it as well as schools, the media, and every other means at their disposal.


Murder and theft is immoral. We have laws to prevent it and prosecute it as well. Should we actually not push political officials like mayors, legislators, and the like to be tough on moral crime? Should crime even be an item of discussion when discussing mayoral races? Clearly it should, so morality will undoubtedly be discussed in political discussions as our morals are what drive everything we do and really believe in.

Calling women whores and sluts that need their consequences...should have kept their legs closed is usually not equally thrown out about the man that also helped create the pregnancy. BOTH need to be discussed.


These things are not equivalent. Men are already held accountable for their actions by law through paternity courts. Women aren't even required to provide proof who the actual father is in most cases, and the man has no say in whatever "choice" the woman makes. There is a gross discrepancy in how this is handled.

Start talking about what new can do to support women who have an unplanned pregnancy.


There are more than enough resources available now. There is absolutely no need for any other assistance.

quote:

We ended up breaking up and he went to work for a family friend to make cash and couldn't be compelled to pay child support. I won't go too deep into this right away, but it happens so much more than you think. Men walk away all the time.


This should happen more often. Women like you need to be forced to face their bad decisions if hook up culture is going to be defeated.

Pumping more unwanted kids into an overloaded system


Stopped reading your third point here. You are wrong that out system is overloaded.

quote:

I cannot imagine her being raped and impregnated and forced to make a baby with her rapist. She would lose her entire life right now. Its not merely an "inconvenience." Its life changing and can screw you up for life.


1. No this would not screw her life up.

2. I fully support the death penalty for rapists. Not for the baby. You are looking at this from a flawed perspective.
