Abortion: Beyond the Politics of Life and Choice

[2000yrCatholic]

Abortion is the killing of innocent babies.

Don't try to use other words like zygote,

embryo, fetus to make it seem like that

baby is not human because that's exactly

what the baby is, human. Life begins

at conception not whenever people feel

like it. REPENT AND STOP KILLING

INNOCENT BABIES, THERE SHOULD

BE NO ISSUE, IT'S MURDER.

[stevienickslover]

aborting a fetus doeint stop you from being a parent, it just makes you a parent of a dead baby.

[stevienickslover]

lol, not many good pro choice arguments here, most are snide remarks

[Afterthebears]

UM acccccuuaaallly im a 15 year old TEEEN . are anybody a parent out there? did even realize how much this is affecting teens instead of helping! there is no choice in the matter..if there is anyone that doesnt want there baby give her\him to me im sure i can find loving people who dream about what you have given away..this matter has thrown me out of school and ive lost many friends over it..ITS MURDER

There are brainwaves at 18 days and at 8 weeks there is a functioning brain

[ButterBallJesus]

You obviously have no brainwave activity.

[redemption136]

lol

[stevebarat]

But when the fetus in one to five months old, it's not yet a human being! Why should these old Bible thumping men in congress control women's bodies?

[redemption136]

PRECISELY! I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that its most often religious fanatics...or men, who are anti-abortion. If a woman does not want a child, then they shouldn't have to have it. What if they had been raped and were pregnant with a child? Should they have to go and be forced to have that child? I don't think so. I have a choice as a woman to do what I want with my body, and whether I want to live with a baby or not is entirely up to me.

[gd186]

"forcing a woman to have a child she dosn't want to have is wrong ! "

[Jitpring]

Pure sophistry. No one is forcing her to have a child. She simply won't be allowed to commit infanticide. And let's assume it IS forcing her: this is far better than allowing her to kill a baby.

[gd186]

well if a woman does not want to have a baby she shouldn't have to , she shouldn't have to . It is wrong to force her to have a child she dous not want .. and anywase there are way to many people on this earth already . Infanticide is killing the child , its not even a child yet , its a blob of cells , not a human being .

[jianniestrong]

if you seen aborted babys any peson with a brain knows that baby looks like me an you

[gd186]

what!?

[jianniestrong]

have you ever seen an aborted baby it looks like me an you when we were babys if you took time to research

[buriedalive17]

90% of the abortion pictures seen at Pro-Life protests are not abortions. They are miscarriages. It will be impossible for both sides to even listen to each other if both sides do not stop lying.

[jianniestrong]

i had a miscarrige before an those aint no fucking miscarried babies

[buriedalive17]

They take a miscarriage at 30 weeks and say it is an abortion at ten weeks. They lie about 20 weeks of growth. The miscarriages they use are ones that almost qualify as a stillborn with no deformities. They prefer if the fetus had to be medically removed, because then it is almost always dismembered and then they pass it off as a third trimester abortion. Pro-Life as a whole does not lie, but unfortunately they trust the few who are lying to them and the public.

[Micolo2225]

how can ending life, not be killing someone.

[xosortasweet16xo]

Pro-life all the way!!! :D

[evilbunnyrabbits]

Ugh, what a hard issue to decide on. There's legit points on both sides. Killing a healthy fetus, and forcing a woman to carry a child to term against her will are both equally offensive.

[Jitpring]

No, they're far from equally offensive. Killing a baby is far worse than "forcing" a woman to carry it.

[nesquick3415]

The idea of killing a baby is wrong!

[Epyon42]

Dude, if someone gets into a car wreck, and only their kidneys survive, is it still human? No, it's got no damn brain. Just because it has DNA of a person doesn't mean that a particular collection of cells is human. If that were true, every time a male masturbates, he would be committing genocide. Stop using such ridiculous terms, it only makes you look foolish and attracts the stupidest of people to your cause.

[tvn66]

I think it would take one of "the stupidest of people" to come up with the argument you just put forth. a fetus is different than a kidney or a bunch of sperm, it is a human being. even if you dont believe that it is a human being, it will become a human being. a sperm cell or a kidney will not.

[Epyon42]

Yes, responding to a video saying something without a brain is human will generate such obtuse responses to point out the level of stupidity of the original argument. And you make a good point, a fetus will BECOME a human being. When's the last time anything BECAME human from a sperm? I'm sure you didn't, otherwise your point would look retarded.

[tvn66]

I believe that it IS a human being. I gave the conditional for those who dont. even IF you dont believe that it is a human, it will become a human(in your view of what a human is). That is, if you dont KILL it. a sperm cell or a kidney will not.

[beautifulview]

"a fetus is different than a kidney or a bunch of sperm, it is a human being. even if you dont believe that it is a human being, it will become a human being. a sperm cell or a kidney will not."

A water-molecule will. If I store water in my closet, should that count as mass kidnapping?

[OldDogDocs]

This video is a trailer of a documentary called

"Beyond the Politics of Life and Choice". It weaves together interviews with activists, legal experts, theologians, seminarians, college students, service providers, and women for whom the decision to terminate or not to terminate a pregnancy has been a formative event in their lives. The result is unique, and the speakers are compelling—wise, compassionate, and principled.

[x0pinaybhaby0x]

by 6 weeks the fetus has a heartbeat...thats not human?

[Epyon42]

you can get a heart transplant, and have some dead guy's heart in you and still beating, does that make him still alive?

[Tafferling]

Even a worm has an earthbeat. Go give him human rights

[novamist]

;) LOL - hear, hear!

[novamist]

It has no brain function. It is a blob of cells. It has a parasitic relationship with its mother.

No - it is not human.
