I am a little confused as to how you are considering me a hypocrite. Are you suggesting that I should empathize with someone who is saying bullshit? Did I make a senseless comment? I don't think saying I don't give a shit if she is being triggered by anger directed at her because she is saying bullshit and possibly triggering others is senseless. If she is triggered that easily, then she should have been more aware of how others feel. Please, explain it better as I am not getting it judging by your post. Hoping I get it isn't enough as I am not getting it and I like to see your reasoning out in the open.

The date I first joined was around the March of 2005 or 2006.

Amazing I used the word GAP and not Gap.

I learned about abortion in school and I think that its terrible to kill your kids just to be convenient to yourself.

Well, exactly what did you learn? There are many reasons for abortion. How are you reasoning abortion is convenient?

Of course it is. Every time you have sex, you risk getting pregnant or getting someone pregnant. Even if theres a 1% chance that it won't work, you still risk it. Whether you're pro choice or pro life, I don't see how you could think that it's NOT their fault in this case.

It may be the people having sex's fault, but I don't see why that would make a good reason not to have an abortion if they were taking steps not to get pregnant. If people get into an accident while driving their car, people would not expect them to not seek medical treatment because they knew the risks of driving and they caused an accident.

So what you're saying is that it isn't human because it can't survive outside with the mother...Ok...Why not take this to a different level? What about all those people in the ICU living off machines? They can't survive off their machines and can't survive the environment. Therefore, they're not human. Right? And if it is 1 week old, you fail to allow possible future development, causing DEATH. In other words - You kill it. Another human being.

The difference between machines and the mother is that the mother is a person (notice usage of person, not human.) Being a person is not the same as being a human. Genetics isn't enough. Having a heart beat isn't enough. There are people who are removed from life support because they do not have the higher brain functioning. There are people removed because their brain stems are still operating but there is no higher brain functioning. Being a person is more than just having human genes.

Here, you're basically killing another person because he/she doesn't contribute to society. This is exactly what I think is wrong, and we shouldn't kill babies because "the woman will feel better." It doesn't justify it at all. Also, we don't know what the baby will be like in the future...But again, it's not grounds to kill it. I prefer to at least give the baby a chance at life.

A person is more than genetics though. We are not agreeing on what defines a person. Based off of your argument, no one would ever be able to be taken off of life support if their heart is beating even if they are brain dead.

While giving them a chance is nice in theory, but who will take responsibility for the child? There are already enough children who do not have the best opportunities, good role models, someone to help them with their school work, and someone to ensure they are having the best medical care that is possible. I'd rather focus on the children and adults that are already living in poor conditions than to add another person to them and say "We'll we're giving you a chance at life so be grateful."

Like I said in a previous post, it's not about the woman's body. It's about the human life that's growing inside her body.

It is about her body though because the potential human life cannot survive on its own.
