Silliness. Sophistry
So instead of responding to a valid point of a long history of democrats using terminology to excuse despicable practices, you just resort to ignoring it entirely? What a joke. I thought we were having an adult conversation here.
It must kill you to know that 100 years from now you and your kind will be framed similarly as slavery proponents who operated under the guise of property rights advocates.
Wrong. Standing for women's medical and health rights is not disguised as a property right. It is quite the opposite. To you women are baby makers and the property of government if they are pregnant. How is that yours or the governments business? Do want decisions made for you? How is it any business of yours?
Because it is terminating a human life. It is stopping a heart beat from beating. I'm not saying I'm against abortion in some circumstances, but the way it is used willy nilly, especially with the Virginia story that came out today, it's no longer a health decision, but rather, it is straight up murder. And just as the government has laws to prevent other forms of murder, the government has a right, and an obligation, to have laws to protect the weakest amongst us.
Your line of thinking was how slavery lasted for as long as it did. The argument was, what right does the government have to take away or regulate your property. Hundreds of thousands of men died fighting to keep their rights to property. This is the exact same line of thinking that you are currently applying. You are saying it isn't a human life, but rather a health choice just as slavery proponents said the slaves weren't human, but rather property and called it a property rights issue. Please explain to me how it is different.
Yes it terminates a potential life BUT is it any of the government's business.? It's a simple question. Is it any of business of the government what a woman's decision is about her body? Is it any of any business of the government what decisions you make about your, men?
At some point, it is no longer a potential life. At some point it is a tiny human with a heart beat and brain function and it can survive outside the womb without the mother's support. At that point, it is no longer a "potential life". Labeling it as such is identical as how slave owners labeled slaves as property. It was a disgusting attempt by slave owners to claim rights to another human, just as a mother is trying to claim rights to an unborn baby.
Tell me, is there a point or circumstance when an abortion is unacceptable?
My wife's mama was a 16 year old chain smoker when my wife was born 3 months early and at about 2 lbs, this was 54 years ago. I'm guessing she was at 27 weeks, and was in whatever they called Intensive care for newborns back then for over a month. Someone watched her 24/7 to make sure she was always breathing.
Lets she, conceived out of wedlock, by a 16 year old chain smoker, born out of wedlock, sounds like she was in what so many consider the disposable category. Mama was, single, too young, to poor, to immature, too everything.
I saw my child's heart beating on the sonogram at what they said was 6 weeks. When you kill a being with a heartbeat you are killing. Your choice ends at someone else's life. Sure that is not the law, and certainly there are some cases where an abortion is the only option, tubal pregnancy and a few other issues. Certainly better birth control education is needed as are more effective methods of birth control. Is it ideal, no of course not, but as long as abortion is the law of the land, to reduce what people call "unwanted pregnancies", there needs to be a way to reduce pregnancies in people who are going to have sex anyway, even if they know the risks.
Jinx mentioned sterilization before, I think that is simply out of bounds, but effective birth control BEFORE pregnancy, is sure much better than birth control, in the form of an abortion, after you are pregnant. We all have to agree with that.
