But you, as a man I assume, or even the govt has the right to determine what is right for a woman’s body
multiple fail. first, women are anti abortion too. second, it has nothing to do with being a man or a woman. it is what's right or not. third, a pregnant woman does not have the right to murder a person for convenience, even if the person is unborn or she did not have a choice in getting pregnant. i'm sorry you don't understand that. is anyone allowed to stand up for the right to live of the baby?

quote:

the control of women’s bodies no matter how you slice it
wrong and that is a stupid, antiquated rebuttal. the right to live of the baby is very much a part of the discussion. it falls under the rubric of sanctity of life.

if you feel man enough, go try this shtick in the thread i linked.

I know we dont agree with many things, but this is the pure truth.

Public officials (no matter the party) should forced to discuss national issues on the formal vernacular. It would kill 2 birds with one stone. You get rid of "dogwhistle" and other misconduct and also open yourself up for debate in the future.

That way politicians are susceptible to their CONSTITUENTS and have to answer for any lies they may spread.

Well I’m a woman so... you know part of the section of the population that can actually get pregnant. And I haven’t clicked on your super duper thread and don’t intend to. the only reason I clicked on this one was to accurately state it is the control of women’s bodies.

And you had the gall to use the word ‘antequated’ in your reply to something I had stated.

Not exactly, and typically I try to avoid the abortion convos but I’ll admit the stupid Alabama thing has got my feathers a little ruffled lately.

If anything I’m possibly some version of an old school feminist- as in men and women are different, have different strengths- typically at least. That doesn’t make one lesser than the other nor give either the reason to blame the other side for all the problems in the world. And if someone is equal in ability then they should be treated as such regardless of sex. I am also for showing that with actions and not screaming it without merit.

Iow, I’m probably not as much of an enemy as you might have thought but as people tend to do at times, we disagree on this subject.

Agreed.

Can I put you on the list for never using the criminal term “murder” to describe a legal abortion, never using the ambiguous “baby” in place of the more-specific “fetus,” and never using the oxymoron “post birth abortion” in any context?

Don’t we control women’s bodies when we have laws against them using drugs?

If a fetus is a legal “person” (Person A, as abortion opponents insist), then forcing a woman (Person B) to carry that “person” everywhere for nine months certainly seems like forcing Person B into unconstitutional “involuntary servitude” to Person A, under the 13th Amendment.

"[S]eems like" is not the same as "is".

Parents are also required to care for their children and not neglect their well being. Caring for your own children is a lot harder than a lot of jobs and comes with no pay (excluding tax credits and welfare). Seems like a form of involuntary servitude to have the government force someone to provide for their kids without just compensation, but it's not because a special relationship exists there, just like with pregnancy, except pregnancy is even more special because only the mother can care for the child.

Women’s rights has been the spin for a long time about abortions. When in fact it’s a human rights issue

That is a ridiculously stupid and asinine argument.

Except that a parent of a born child has the option (in most states) of surrendering a child to the state (or another person), if they do not want that responsibility. As such, the servitude is not “involuntary” by virtue of the parent’s election NOT to seek termination of the obligation.

This issue has been the subject of numerous law review articles and has even been briefed to SCOTUS. It is not nearly as outrageous as a layman might think.

It is not "their lies" that is a problem it is your ignorance. Abortions are not an easy thing for a woman to do and nobody in their Right mind uses it as their preferred method of contraception regardless of the lies told otherwise. Plus according to the Christian god of the bible life does not begin until one takes a breath, which does not occur while in the womb. Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man[a] from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.
If you disagree take it up with your god, not the women facing tough choices.

Son, you promote that played-out thread like Trump hyping one of his golf courses.

Once again, you are fabricating facts. Both this site’s search and a google search provide exactly ONE post from you using the term “servitude.” This post is made in reply to that post.

As an aside, boredom at arguing endlessly with an idiot does nor constitute “chickening out.”
