I can’t let you have that abortion.
I’m just going to post a link to the article instead of re-blogging it here.

What do you think of this article after reading it?

I was just so bothered by the grammatical and word usage errors that it was hard to concentrate on the article. Aside from that, there was nothing new or unexpected in it. It’s a commonly held and frequently argued position.
Good morning doll! What do I think of it? Meh. I think that is someone who has nothing better to do in their own life than dictate rules and judgement on others. Dull, unoriginal, and poorly done to boot.
I read it. It’s a pretty standard rehashing of already over-hashed ideas.
I think they used good English too get there point acrost. I am shocked and amazed and befuddled to that I hadn’t not herd them arguments before.
Nobody will tell me why a rapists’ offspring should be allowed to be killed, but other fetuses are human individuals with rights and legal protection.
The article is recent enough to make reference to the Vice President debate. Interesting that Joe Biden said that he would not push a Catholic agenda/dogma of life at conception towards folks of other beliefs.
The Buddhists believe in reincarnation and if a baby passes away, often times they say that the baby is going back to rebirth.
There are gruesome stuff in life. Breast cancer growth is pretty gross. Chopped and butchered meat is pretty gross. The image of an aborted fetus added its theaterical effect to the article but still I am unmoved by it and yes humans are more than just parts.
A baby born from rape requires a lot of mother forgiveness at times. The death of someone close to you would hit you harder than the death of a stranger. Things are relative and if someone close to you tried to kill you then you would have a lot of remorse if you had to kill someone in self defense. Tell me that a death of something remote really hurts you? More likely you are using death of fetuses just to prove more a political point than to prove more your humanity as a person.
I’ll just copy and paste my grammatically correct response…
I like to ask a simple question, “What’s more wrong? Abortion or infanticide? Because women that abort babies aren’t doing it as a hobby, it’s typically a long, thought-out decision.” The number of children in foster care is proof that an unwanted child remains an unwanted child. They don’t all get adopted. They don’t all go to welcoming homes. Mom doesn’t wake up one day and realize, “Holy Jesus! I love my little mistake.” Crime rates actually go up when women are forced to have children they don’t want. Why? For all the same reasons that children in foster care are more likely to become career drug addicts and career criminals. No one wanted them. No one cares about them. They’re now a strain to the system and will remain so until they’re eventually killed by the state or in a police shoot out.
What would you prefer? The man that rapes your daughter never be born or the man that rapes your daughter die in a random convenience store robbery six years after ruining her life? People need to start realizing, abortion isn’t about one life, it’s about every life that one person will affect and statistics state that person is going to be a criminal. Sure, some kids make it through foster care and we can all google the one kid in a million that became a noble laureate but you know what? The rest of them aren’t.
The article was made gross by the bloody picture, which is there to disturb and appeal to emotions. I believe that personhood is conferred through birth, the first breath is taken and man becomes a living soul. I don’t believe that imaginary people have any rights, but understand that women who are pregnant and intend to have babies may consider their unborn a person, since they expect it to be when the time comes. I don’t like people who highly value figments of imagination at the expense of real born people, and who devalue human beings the minute they are born. It seems to me that the older one gets, the less valuable they become to these people.
If abortion were equal to murder, there would be no justification, such as rape, incest, etc. But what there is really no justification for is to tell others what they must do or refrain from doing, based on someone else’s beliefs. People who do this behave as though they are God, and they devalue God by attempting to take away the freedom that God has given us all. And they do it for their own egos, maybe also they think they will get brownie points at some later date for being so godly. I usually think of the people who have the idol Jesus, who is their scapegoat for wrongdoing on the part of humanity. I guess if they can stop a woman from exercising her own choice in what she wants to do, that woman will merely need a scapegoat for the desire in her heart rather than the action she would not be able to take because of busybodies without a life of their own.
Of course it’s alive. Of course it’s a “HUMAN” fetus, what else would it be? I don’t like the idea that a parasitic, growing organism is entitled to continue feeding off the host’s (its mother’s) body AGAINST her will for the simple reason that it is a human being, before it experiences life as a human being and can live outside the host as a human being. I don’t deny that a human fetus is owed more than a human sperm in terms of livelihood. But I think that the mother’s right to choose what goes on in her body is a fundamental right which should override the fetus’ right, until that fetus has developed into a discernible, viable human being.
Believing abortion is wrong while ackowledging others’ rights to have it strikes me as insincere. Believing abortion is wrong except in certain circumstances strike me as the same. Most people cling to cliches when they’re afraid to be honest. It’s politician lingo, tbh.
Anyway, this is an old debate where there will always be dissenters. As a pro-abortionist, I don’t think Roe V. Wade is constitutional.
@TheBottomandBack - ”What’s more wrong? Abortion or infanticide?” Excellent point.
I’d like to also add: “What’s more wrong? A dead fetus, or a dead fetus AND a dead mother/host?” I know many females like myself who would resort to violent means to stop the baby from growing inside them. If my birth control ever failed me and I couldn’t get to an abortion clinic, I would literally rather die than go through childbirth. I am not alone in that sentiment.
