QUOTE(linke3 @ May 16 2004, 5:20 PM)
Hmm, well I guess I believe abortion is right- because I think that it's really up to the "mother" to decide whether or not she wants to keep the baby. I mean, if she was raped and got pregnant, she may not want the baby. But I don't think abortion should be an excuse for couples to have unprotected sex so that whenever the female gets pregnant, she could just have an abortion and continue having sex.

i think if sume1 gets raped...they wuld have to be "cleaned" by the doctors...n yes if this is like a 13 yr old gurl or sumething then i think i mite agree with it..or also if the birth of the baby is GOING to or has a HIGH risk or killing the mother..i think that is up to each individual mother..its between her n God...but i think its wrong just to abort b/c u have sex as a teenager...or b/c u have unprotected sex..n i think its HORRIBLE to kill a child b/c the doctors say they r gonna b handicapped..u never know for sure...n even if u did...u have no clue what that child will be like...even if the doctors said the baby wuld die..id have the baby..i mean the doctors r not God...they dunno everything

Once again, we're missing the point:


- Sex is between its consenting parties (typically two people of the opposite gender). Not the government's business.
- When a man and a woman have sex, there is NO FETUS yet. Something that doesn't exist CANNOT have legal rights at the time of intercourse.
- Therefore, arguments that the woman should have to take responsibility, or there is an implicit contract, are stupid.
- Thus, the fetus is only in the woamn's body by permission, not right.
- Thus, the woman can revoke the persmision when she chosses.
- Thus, abortion should be legal.
- And I will rule the world or see it burnt to ashes around me.

Actually, plants and primitive animals demonstrate the alternation of generations (sporophyte and gametophyte stages). Both are considered alive. In more advanced species, the sporophyte stage is dominant, while the gametophyte stage is usually transient and dependent on the sporophyte (like the cone of a pine).

In humans, sex cells like sperm or eggs can actually be thought of as the gametophyte stage, so in a way, they are alive.

Okay, I'm correcting myself, Minda - I meant human life.

No. No one should be able to take away my rights. You're missing my point:

THE BABY DOES NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO THE MOTHER'S BODY. She isn't taking away tyhe baby's RIGHTS, she's taking away a privilege. That the baby dies is merely a tragic consequence.

I do NOT have to give food to a starving person, even if said starving person dies as a result. However, that is NOT the same as saying I have the right to shoot that person. Same principle applies here.

And Kathleen, it's still human life. A pine cone is technically a pine life. In ferns and mosses, the sporophyte and gametopyhte generaitons are both viable members of the same species. Just beacuse the sperm and egg can't live on their own doesn't mean they aren't life. They're merely gametophyte humans.

People die during aboritons

The death rate from abortion right now is about 0.6 per 1000.

Before legalizing it, when we had backalley abortionists, it was 40 per 1000.

0.06% death, or 4% death... hmm...

When a woman decides to engage in sex, it's between her and her partner.

The baby has not been concieved yet. Something that doesn't exist cannot have legal rights.

The woman never loses the right to her own body. You only lose that right if:
- You sign a contract waiving it
- You commit a real crime (i.e. violating someone else's rights)

Otherwise, it is the GOVERNMENT taking away your right without due process.

I don't know what our country has turned into, but in the old America, we used to call that TOTALITARIANISM.

when a woman engages in sex she knows what might happen...and the fact that a child COULD BECOME OF...means that it should be taken into consideration...and u know having sex is way bigger than signing a contract...she waives her body by having sex...is she isnt ready for the kid..she isnt ready for the sex...

So you are saying that something that COULD exist in the fututer HAS legal rights?

I'm curious. Do you support banning contraceptives? Because if the UNCONCIEVED have legal rights, then certainly it should be illegal to not let them be born?

In fact, we should mandate sex.

By typing on this forum, the radiation on your monitor COULD adversely affect your reproductive system. Since this could potentially cause undesirable mutations in your FUTURE baby that hasn't been conceived yet, it follows that it should be illgal for you to use a computer.

You said that having abortions is a bad thing, you've never explained why it should be illegal, i.e. you've never told me WHY people ought to have legal rights BEFORE they are concieved (not born, concieved).

Yes, I'm German. I'm the secret son of Hitler and Eva Braun. I was adopted by Ukranian cossacks who defected from the Red Army in 1945 after the end of the war. But my foster parents were shot by NKVD when they tried to escape across the border to British-contorlled Austria in '46, but I was too little to remember it. I was put in a Soviet orphanage outside of Wallachia, when I grew up to a distinguished career in the Romanian Secret Police. After that, I became Chief of State Security under Brezhnev and I organized the bombing of a key NATO meeting and tried to assassinate Mao during his 1977 meeting with Nixon. In the 80s, I was wounded by a Mujhadeen during the Soviet-Afghan War. They took me to a camp in Herat, where a Saudi mercenary, Osama or what's-his-name, interrogated me for a few hours. Then I got shipped to Guantanamo Bay, but they traded me for an American spy captured in Moscow. After Brezhy died, I left Mother Russia for Berlin, where I got to sit on the Berlin Wall when it came down. I became a travelling salesman for Prada in Germany for a few years, before retiring to my native Stralsund, in Pomerania. There I live to this very day.

so princess, i guess you've never heard of having sex for pleasure, which we have the right to do.


also, if you're old enough, every month your egg drops into the toilet or in a trash can.

from what you're saying, maybe you should have sex all the time, and fertilize all your potential babies, because they might influence the world greatly....?

News flash: Every single murderer, rapist, and terrorist has been an unaborted fetus. Look in a history textbook, you will never find information about an abortion blowing something up, killing a jew, or flying an airplane into a building.

Instead of fighting the Middle East, we could have used all the funding on international pro-choice campaigns. Osama himself would probably have been aborted. If that were the case, September 11th would have never happened and 3000+ people would still be alive, no thanks to you stubborn anti-everything renegades.

More examples of unaborted babies:

1. The Columbine Crew
2. Michael Jackson
3. Beyonce Knowles

Unaborted babies shoot up their school, molest children, and make shitty music. I don't even see why people want to have babies, it's insane. You could A) party all the time and not give a shit, or B) work two full-time jobs, get three hours of sleep each night, wipe a little maggot's ass EVERY DAY for four years, the list goes on. That's right, massage something's colon for four whole entire years. I don't think I've done anything for four years, maybe attended school, but there I don't have to clean up shit, only listen to it.

I don't understand why moms don't keep their aborted babies. It makes sense to me. An aborted kid is quiet, not as smelly, and doesn't require near as much oxygen as a living child. If I ever decide to have kids, I'm going to abort them and ask the doctor for a doggy bag. That's the way to go. Adults are so dumb.

I guess to counter that, people who have helped society could've been aborted if their mothers decided to.

So to present you with the other side of the argument: if unaborted babies can kill, they can also save people or made some wonderful discoveries.

Examples: Albert Einstein, Ghandi, George Washington... scientists who are trying find the cure/treatment for aids, doctors...

Those are unaborted babies who made a difference.

in some cases i say " go for it its your body" theses cases involve rape but there is still adoption so there is no need for life to be taken away in this case its not this kids fault if his/her father is a rapist, and the off chance that having the baby will kill you then you have to think about either sparing the chailds life or your own.

in the normal cases of you knowing exactly what your doing i say keep the baby you knew what you were doing and any one knows that un protected sex leads t things such as pregnancy and std's you dont have to use condoms if you dont want there are other contraceptives to prevent pregnacy such as ... the almighty birth control pills if you are forget ful and cand handel the responsiblity of keeping up with your pill every day then hey why dont you try the shot or the patch or anything.. really just because you werent thinking dosnt mean an innocent kid has to die sorry it aint right! just isnt right at all. im tierd of people getting pregnant im sorry let me rephrase that i tihnk i directed that to all woemn who have gotten pregnant how about, im tierd of lazy people or wothless women not using birth control do you not love yourself that much that you wont use some method of birth control its more than one. you should be thanking science for creating them too. so the moral of the sermon is take care of your responsibitly if you can lay down and make the kid you should raise the kid....


i should be president... i know though.. never in a million years
