  • And now they want taxpayers to start footing the bill.Huh, I thought this was a private, personal choice...if so.....why should anyone but you have to pay for it or provide the type of insurance to pay for it...?PS: I work in the medical field.Only 1-2%, if that, of abortions are due to rape, and roughly the same are due to complications of the pregnancy where the moters health is endangered,but those are likely to produce a stillbirth anyhow.

  • Do what you want.We all die.Well all face whats on the other side.Just..looking at and talking to many pro choicers,I cant help but...but get a sense of loose woman and piggish men who want to freely and ..yes many times randomly with strangers,engage in an activity and then have the ability to shrug off the responsibilities and consequences of such activities if they lead to anything other than climax.Im not even a religious person....am I alone in this sense?I dont think so...

  • I realize that a woman has to bear the birth,but all this consent talk always leaves me wondering,what about the father of a planned abortion who may wish to keep the child?Happens alot.Its your body, yea, but it was your choice to engage in an activity that could produce a pregnancy as well, with a person who may not wish to abort and had just as much of a role in producing that child/fetus as you /she did.Pro choicers not giving much weight to people choices again.

  • Abortion,interesting debate...I have to wonder why if you murder a pregnant woman, at almost any stage of her pregnancy,you are likely to be charged with 2 counts of murder,but abortion is legal...oh because abortion involves consent?Most pro choice leaders dont think so, andhave gone on record to state their displeasure with the possibilities of a murderer being charged with 2 counts for killing a woman who planned to carry to birth.Pro choicers not giving much weight to choice in that account.

  • lol

  • LOL

    Anti-RIP-A-FETUS-CARRYING-MY-O­WN-DNA-APART-WITH-A-VACUUM lady gets bemused at people with cocks talking about carrying kids in their womb even though it is nothing they will experience LAWL.

  • misleading title & video

  • Liberal Fascism 101: hate, attack, blame, lie, deny

  • wow ignorance is bliss...pro choice forever.....

  • Hahahaha!!

  • wtf

  • I love how everyone ignores the other girl talking.

  • That is a total contradiction. What is the penalty, then, for breaking the law and having an abortion if the procedure is outlawed?

  • Does science prove that a fetus is alive or not?

  • @Charlie12241 Alive and sentient are two different things. sure the cells making up the fetus are alive but the brain doesn't 'turn on' for twenty weeks after conception. until then it may as well be a plant.

  • @sobriquet1999 Yes, but a pregnancy is not really a random event.Even the term "Unplanned pregnancy" baffles me a bit.You have sex, you run the risk of getting pregnant.Other than abstinence .which isnt fun, or complete destruction of your reproductive organs( less fun),theres always a possibility of pregnancy.We all know this, including the woman with the right to do what she wants with her body.

  • @sobriquet1999 But when that activity you freely engaged in ,knowing full well the potential results, produces a fetus/child/whatever you want to call it, that is completely reliant on your body, to become a viable, functioning humanand you hve the "legal right" to terminate it,thats....kind of wrong.

  • @CyanoticFuture I fundementally agree, but I'm leaving the door open for thoses that disagree to attempt to persuade me. Admittedly they would have to have a VERY compelling argument though.

  • She heard him wrong guys. . . come on. She knows exacty what she is saying. No pro lifer wants to send women who have had abortions to jail. They sympathasize but want them to understand why it is wrong. And yes that means it shouldbe illegal, like murder

  • would you make slavery legal again just because blacks look different?

  • Let's just make it illegal with no penalties at all. FIne with me.

  • If you dont agree with abortion, don't have one.

  • @tichie33 Do you agree with a cousin or mother or sister or friend cutting themselves? If you found them cutting off one of their arms cause they don't want it anymore, do not stop them. If you don't agree with it, don't do it yourself, but leave them alone that's their CHOICE

  • @musicman45ist you're American, I can tell hahaha. Yes you're completely right, I agree with self harm because I'm pro-choice. My argument actually was more along the line of; if an individual is raped it's their choice as to whether they should have an abortion, if you don't agree with it then don't have one. And by the by, check out mortality rates in women before abortion was legalised. Legalising abortion saved thousands of lives, criminalising it will just...

  • @tichie33 Legalising it has killed millions of babies, how has saving thoudsands of women leveled out the amount of babies that have been killed. My point is that in cases of rape, how is it the babies fault in any way shape or form? How is killing the baby getting revenge on the rapist? How is killing the baby making the attacked forget what happened. Do you think the rapist feels guilt after killing the baby? How does 2 wrongs make a right? Rape then murder, yeah it's a wash.

  • @musicman45ist Oh dear you're so dumb, if women want an obortion they will have one, whether it's illegal or deadly! And most responsible women have an abortion early before the baby has developed enough to feel pain. And 'revenge on the rapist', are you kidding?! No mother would ever abort a child for revenge! It's distressing but it's their choice; like I said, don't want one, don't have one.

  • @tichie33 Why is it, you guys always resort to insulting someone on their intelligence. Do you know for a FACT, that a baby feels no pain before a certain time? How stupid is that? Do you remember what you were and were not feeling at that point? Have you had conversations with a baby to find out? I'm so dumb? You expect me to believe that you....just know what a baby can or cannot feel? And if not for revenge.....then why? And "cause she can" is a piss poor arguement.

  • @musicman45ist 1) you'd have no have to acknowledge you have low intelligence to be offended 2) Yes we do know for a FACT as they haven't developed a central nervous system yet. And no I can't remember being a fetus... was that a real question? And there's no need for a woman to explain why she want's an obortian, that's the joys of freedom; whether she was raped or just feels she can't give a good quality of living to a child, it's her CHOICE.

  • @tichie33 What? What the hell does that mean "you'd have no have to acknowledge you have low intelligence" That is the most jumbled sentence I've ever heard. I'm seeing your the one with low intelligence. We? Did you do the research or are you believing the same scientists that claim "man made global warming" which we all found out is bull shit.

  • @tichie33 What gives someone the right to decide over someone else, that is the fetuses choice.

  • @tichie33 And it was a sarcastic question. You Libs always claim to know details of everything, when it is all speculation. I always hear "they" (scientists) "they have proven it COULD be possible" which you guys take as writen in stone fact, when a statement like that is also proving it COULD be bull shit. I've looked up everything you have, it's always said that at 10 weeks the "fetus" MAY feel pain. You know that, that doesn't mean for sure? How gullible.

  • @tichie33 Do you really think a women would risk killing herself when there is adoption, they only do this in poor countries not Ireland, Israel, Cyprus, or Chili etc they didn`t do it gefore it was legal.

  • @freewilllover YES THEY DID YOU IDIOT

  • @tichie33 What are you suggesting there were milons of unborm abortions in the USA, why was this never reported not on the news or in magazines or anywhere, also idf that were the case why weren`t there many more man then women???????

  • @tichie33 By the way, look at what you type before you send it, you spelled it "Obortion" not "Abortion" I'm trying to help, you post stuff like that we don't take you serious as somebody who would actually have facts. I also like the way you skipped right over the fact of the amount of lives in babies that were killed over the amount of women you claim it has saved.

  • @tichie33 Back to comment you made......Lets call a spade a spade. Yes I was comparing self harm to abortion, cause lets face it, you would go and have cancer removed right? If you believe that a baby (fetus) is the same as cancer than you are shallow. And the point I was trying to make is would you stop a woman from cutting herself, it is her choice to do so, if you don't agree than don't do it yourself, but don't stop your mother from cutting her wrists, if she was raped. Her choice.

  • @musicman45ist Don't tell me what I can and cannot do, the fact you've reverted to that idiotic 'argument' shows you are closed minded and I have no time for you. The two cannot be compared and any rational person can see that (hence why self harmers are often sectioned and people who have abortions aren't.) When did I say a baby was like cancer?! You need educating, I do hope you're a child, that might just about excuse your naivety (to put it nicely.) My last comment, wont read response.

  • @tichie33 Now wait a damn minute you snob! I can't tell you what you can or cannot do, but the people you SUPPORT are in the process of telling me I have to pay for abortion so some low life slack can get it for free. Yes you are saying that it's is like cancer. How else do you explain it. When your sick with cancer you go and have it cut out, burned out etc. When you don't want a baby cause of rape, your putting it the catagory of a disease that can't be lived with. You arogent prick

  • @tichie33 I dont think anti abortion groups care so much about the ability nor desire to tell other people what to do.I think a main point they are trying to convey is that once you become pregnant,its not" soley my body " alone anymore, you now have a potential life dependent on you.There are many mentally handicapped people who arent much more functioning then...i guess a "glorified fetus"..to put it best due to severe CNS damage.

  • @tichie33 Should their caregivers or the state allow them to be terminated from life because they arent very viable,or viable at all without constant major medical or artificial interventions?Maybe..would save the health insurance companies millions..Its not " a dont tell me what to or not to do " argument so much as a " we arent.You choose to do an activity that you knew could produce a pregnancy and now a life is dependent on you and its not right to end it for convenience"..argument

  • @musicman45ist cont... lead the black market to thrive at the hands of desperate women.

  • @tichie33 Exactly so don`t like rape, don`t rape, don`t like murder don`t murder, I guess there should be no law.

  • @freewilllover You are a prime example of why abortions should remain legal. I have no further comment.

  • @freewilllover oh wait, just one more comment on the irony of your user name, that is all.

  • @tichie33 with that simple sentence, you have just summed up what all great philosophers have been saying for thousands of years. well said!

  • Just because she says that it should be illegal does not mean that anyone caught having an abortion would receive a jail term. It means that abortion clinics would be illegal and anyone performing an abortion would face a jail term. Abortion is illegal in Ireland (certain circumstances allow it, for example: If the mothers life is in danger from the birth) and we have never thrown anyone in jail. Abortion is too free and easy in the US with the result that it is abused!

  • Comment removed

  • really? your going to make fun this woman she probably misunderstood you, she most likely thought you said illegal, you know Obama has claimed hes been to 57 states! why dont you go rip on him?

  • @xoinyoureyesxo That video you saw of political fails was edited, you realise that right?

  • @xoinyoureyesxo i see you talk about obama like he was a woman, do you know he was almost hung in 56 out of those 57 states?

  • I'm pro choice......but in all fairness something can be illegal and still be decriminalized. There's a difference between the two....come on hippies

  • What that lady claims about pro-life people not wanting to put women in jail for having an abortion is incorrect. I've spoken to numerous 'pro-life' men who are in favor of imprisoning women for thought-crime or attempting abortion and forcing them to give birth while restrained in prison. One man I talked to even favors the death penalty for women who have abortions and for the abortion doctor as well. Don't believe the pro-life talking points. They're lying snakes.

  • @34rulenumber um thats def wrong, im a strong pro lifer and i dont think we should put woman in prison theres actually a lot more who agree with me just cause you talked to what 3 people does not mean every one is like that, look at that one college coach that was looking at those little kids. does that mean EVERY single coach out there does. just cause there are a few people who say that does not mean EVERY pro life person is like that

  • Everytime I see something like this I always think back to that little 13 year old girl that got raped and ended up pregnant. -_-" Don't think she wanted that at all...

  • Another one of the 666, 000 Christian Hypocrisies. Christians believe everyone is born with an evil wicked heart (including newborn babies) and that they are born into a world controlled by Satan. With the horrific picture their beliefs paint it seems they should treat abortion as a mercy killing. Unfortunately many religious families procreate as much as possible so they can brainwash their children with their beliefs.

  • Dr.Derpwerth - you are the first to go

    

  • 7 Billion Humans on Earth, that's 7 billion too many. And these dumb old hags want to stop abortion? Fucking retard bitches, genocide needs to start up real soon. So much beautiful land on Earth being consumed by Human garbage.

  • If you are a pro-lifer, you are always confused. You get confused about when to breathe in and when to breathe out

  • WASHINGTON — Authorities say two out-of-state doctors who traveled to Maryland to perform late-term abortions have been arrested and charged with multiple counts of murder, an unusual use of a law that allows for murder charges in the death of a viable fetus. A.P.

  • @teton99 good, now we just need to get justice for the rest of the 50 million murdered babies since R v. W

  • Actually, abortion could be illegal without putting the woman who is getting the abortion in jail. One could punish the person performing the abortion rather then the one who is getting the abortion.

    That being said, punishing only the abortionist is not what all pro-lifers want.

  • It's always the same few users hyping the pro-abort side in the Comments sections of vids re. the issue. They try to make it look like all of you2b is pro-choice when it's just a few commenting over & over at each vid, making multiple posts, disregarding the 500-character limit.

    Her meaning is clear enough; she wants the abortion procedure to be outlawed & prevented, NOT for the women who've had them to be locked up & punished. Tongue-tied in pressure situation does not automatically=moron.

  • @FlyUnicornsFly ROFL!!! I think you must be confused.

  • @FlyUnicornsFly Was anyone threatening her with a gun? Nope, there was no pressure, she's just stupid.

  • @Neyonius i dont see how she is stupid. she misunderstood, Obama has claimed hes been to 57 states! people make mistakes

  • @xoinyoureyesxo Obama is a moron the needs a teleprompter to speak in public.

  • @Neyonius yes i no and i completely agree my point was though people make mistakes

  • @xoinyoureyesxo well~ Obama's also an idiot...so it still stands that she COULD be an idiot....idk what the original post was. so i could be completely off lol

  • I'll vote a straight Democratic ticket in 2012.

    Screw those fundamentalists. They've been screwing us for far too long.

  • Well, stupid is as stupid does.

  • the dumb cunt in this video doesn't even realize how stupid her words are. "absolutely, (abortion) should be illegal," is preceeded by, "no one who is pro-life is in favor of criminalizing abortion... no one who is pro-life would ever want to put a woman in prison, and they never have." LOLOLOLOLOLOL. first, that is completely contradictory, obviously. second, she is lying/wrong. LOTS of people want to put women who have had abortions in jail. great clip!

  • 12 nurses charge that the U of Med & Dentistry of New Jersey violated state & federal laws by abruptly announcing in September that nurses would have to help with abortion patients before & after the procedure, reversing a long-standing policy exempting employees who refuse based on religious or moral objections. One of the nurses, Fe Esperanza R. Vinoya, said a manager told her: You just have to catch the baby’s head. Don’t worry, it’s already dead. WP

  • @teton99 no matter how many times you spam that idiotic drivel, and no matter how many places, it STILL doesn't address every woman's right to abort. even if it was authentic, it would be about a side issue, not about whether a woman has the right to abort. you people are so desperate with your pathetic attempts to demonize and distract.

  • Exactly, abortion will never be illegal for long. Once women start to be prosecuted for having an abortion along with goes along with being prosecuted ( arrested, imprisoned, fined, community service and slapped with a criminal record that could exclude her from employment) people are going to take it out on the churches when it happens to their daughters.

  • And why be anti-abortion, why have a simple black-and-white perspective? Anyone who thinks abortion is a clear case of good OR evil hasn't given it much thought.

  • abortion is genocide

  • I'd like to see a pro-lifer protesting against capital punishment..... until then.

  • @qita0 I'm against abortion AND capital punishment

  • @GrainghisKhan12 That's great. I hope that more people will gain perspective.

  • @GrainghisKhan12 What about poverty???....which is the cause behind most of these difficult things we are talking about here.. Polticially, Christians seem to say dick about poverty on a poltical level. Christians are a major support of the GOP....the biggest ass kissers of the rich / conservative in North America. The insanity of the Tea Party is christian-based. This show you the utter stupdity and lack of brains in christian thought these days....  All emotion and no brains...

  • Carlin: "if you're pre-born you're fine.. if you're pre-schooled you're fucked.. they only care about the un-born, but once you're born you're on your own _|_"

  • @JacobA666 False.

  • @SuburbiaSurvivor well my friend you made it very clear with that one word i guess..

  • Pro-choice is a women's right to choose. Keep your laws off MY body. If abortion is murder than swallowing is cannibalism.

  • Its no one's business if I want to kill something or someone that I created.

  • @shawnbrennan1 Then it's no one's business to protest child abuse.

  • @SuburbiaSurvivor Now you get it!

  • @shawnbrennan1 Then it's also no one's business to protest the murder of children by their mothers.

  • @SuburbiaSurvivor Yes your right!

  • @shawnbrennan1 Then it's no one's business to protest the murder of anyone.

  • @SuburbiaSurvivor Your extreme...but I llike you.

  • @shawnbrennan1 Good thing it's not about who's business it is :D

  • Damn nature...

  • how can you live with yourself after killing a human embryo?

    humans are evil murderers. Orwell was right.

    The 1ST Commandment of Animalism says

    WHATEVER GOES UPON 2 LEGS IS AN ENEMY

  • We need abortions. You know why? With the Chinese proceeding to fuck each others brains out and the world population upping away to 10 billion.... To anti hippies: WE RUN OUT OF RESOURCES WITH A BIGGER WORLD POPULATION.

  • Hehe :) they're all like that, the anti abortion people.

  • ????? llllol good one

  • haha.. this is just herman cain in a female suit

  • u just cut her off,fox type of propaganda

  • Is that Herman Cain's wife because he has the same logic.

  • Derp.

  • ...Whut?

  • And this is what happens when your mommy is also your sister...

  • Shit she confused the shit out of me also. xD

  • @Philosophydebater when i posted godlessness i meant people who say they're christian but act oherwise. bombing abortion clinics, killing abortion doctors, trumpeting their self=righteousness but ignoring the christian quality: humility. persecuting people that are different from their "values", being pro-life but not helping children that are already here (orphanages), wanting to eliminate the tax dollars that help children &everyone: health care, pp, schools, controlling people.

  • @Philosophydebater No. 'that' is not required in that particular sentence.

    Glad to see you are unable to manage both the grammar & the spelling abilities of a 3rd grader.

    Do tell us more "Philosophydebater", but don't forget the ALL CAPS, it is particularly useful when 'debating philosophy', not that I have to tell a genius like you that!!

    You go, big-shooter!!

  • sooo funny wow shes dumb lol

  • in The Didache

    (1st Century AD)

    The Lord's Teaching to the Heathen by the Twelve Apostles:

    1 There are two ways, one of life and one of death; and between the two ways there is a great difference.

    2 Now, this is the way of life:…

    The second commandment of the Teaching: "Do not murder; do not commit adultery"; do not corrupt boys; do not fornicate; "do not steal"; do not practice magic; do not go in for sorcery; do not murder a child by abortion or kill a newborn infant.

  • @theDotGeek so war is murder, tolerating homeless people is murder as they may die from cold, hunger or disease,

    it's ok to corrupt girls. i have never read anything in the bible specifically stating murder a child by abortion or killing a newborn infant.

    it's a magic thing: you can read these things in the bible where they are not stated.

    besides there were women apostles. none of which are acknowledged in the bible-the names were masculinzed int the thousands of TRANSLATIONS

  • @theDotGeek it's too dangerous to take the bible literally, in the thousands of translations made over the centuries the bible has been corrupted. i believe in the bible too, i just don't take it literally as it can be used to justify murder (all ages, not just the unborn), violence & godlessness in humans. think: christian extremism, islamic extremism (the koran) jewish fundamentalists. (the torah)

    i read posts from lunatics who want to do whatever acc to the bible to 'correct society'

  • She said "nobody who is prolife would want to put a woman in prison" of course not.

    A mother who has lost her child - for whatever reason - should be given compassion and support. The mother is the victim of abortion propaganda; her child is dead.

  • Wow you really think they use wire hangers

  • Basically, what I'm hearing is "surgical abortion is wrong, wire hangers are perfectly fine." Sick bastards.

  • WTF?

  • LOLOLOLOL this is just like the Libertyville video. they want abortion to be illegal, but not to punish a woman for having one. ?!?!?!?!?!?!? ummm, if you don't punish for it, then it is effectively legal. that is like saying, "i want shooting people in the face to be illegal, but i don't want to criminalize it." pretty bright stuff.

  • "Don't punish the woman. Punish the nasty controlling doctor that tempted and tricked her into getting an abortion. Our agenda is spewing hate against the money makers that are greater than my own, and telling other women they cannot take care of themselves. Otherwise, if people realised all of this is just so I don't have to work for my food, how would I ever get to this paygrade with a personality and mental state like mine."

    Those doctors reduce miscarriages more than they increase abortions

  • Haha, awesome vid.

  • i think what she means is youd punish the doctor not the woman

  • Indeed, the issue is one of choice. But let's be honest about what the choices really are.

    Every pregnant woman will deliver a baby. Whether that baby is delivered dead or alive depends a lot on her "choice."

  • @TempusFugit101 It's not always a choice. Ever heard of a miscarriage?

  • From the moment of fertilization, a new life has come into being with its own unique DNA, gender and physical traits all determined and a heart beat at 18 days. Science, not religion, tells us that. Dismissing this as merely "a blob of cells" or a "parasite" is just a way to dehumanize a human being in the earliest stages of development in order to make killing it easier on your conscience.

  • this woman has no idea what's going on, she is a complete follower,obviously because she couldn't even debate the issue.

  • lol pro choice is the way to be its not your body not your choice. i had some mad clal me the other day on my house phone asking my stance on this issue.. i said pro choice.. and that a#@hole hung up on me...

  • I've never seen a true anti-abortion nut in action. But I have talked briefly with a couple. We called them the "Gay Christian Rednecks". In fact, they lived down the street and one was that crazy man who shot Tiller. Those guys were extremely odd.

  • What an idiot, lol.

  • THIS IS WHY UNCONTROLLED HUMAN BREEDING SHOULD BE STOPPED! THIS WOMEN IS INBRED, 

  • @canadianskye1964 Thats the kind of stuff the nazis came out with!

  • @elgantlywasted100 you should know, being probirther, about nazis perhaps being a being a closet one

    many probirthers/ people against birth control, by their posts. are in the same category as the taliban: wanting women jailed & punished severely (think kevin merck, under these people, women would be living under a taliban.

    extreme christians who hate women for having abortrions or wanting the choice.are the nazi & taliban rolled in one 

  • @elegantlywasted100 you should know since most forced-birthers are not only nazis but also share characteristics of the taliban & al queda.

    this woman just represents lies from the forced-birth (taliban) groups.

  • @elegantlywasted100 again, you should know since some forced birthers are nazis & wannabe taliban regarding women

  • @canadianskye1964 Have you read the Huffington Post this morning?

    "Bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building," Williams said during a January news conference. "A row of jars containing severed feet lined a shelf. Furniture and equipment was dusty, broken, [and] urine- and blood-stained. Untrained, unsupervised workers injected dangerous drugs into women undergoing illegal late-term abortions."

  • @elegantlywasted100 says: Bags and bottles holding aborted fetuses were scattered throughout the building," Williams said during a January news conference.

    ~~~~~~~~~~ hahaha, poor POOR elegant!!

  • Respond to this video...  The abortion industry on cares about profit.

  • Comment removed

  • @canadianskye1964 You realize you misspelled "woman"......oh, wait........YOU REALIZE YOU MISSPELLED "WOMAN".....

    Thank god you used ALL CAPS, otherwise I would've just thought you were just a crazy moron.

  • LMAO, this woman never learned to think before she spoke.

  • There's no simple dichotomy between legal and illegal.

  • hahahahaha what an idiot

  • Comment removed

  • Part 2:

    Now don't get me wrong, I don't believe we should criminalize women for having an abortion. Doing so would lead to more inhumanity, worse crimes than an abortion. But we should make it clear, what constitutes a fetus and a baby..When is it not OK to have an abortion.

    I personally don't have much respect for women that choose abortion, after they choose to open their legs, but that's just my personal opinion. And you know what they say about opinions, they're like assholes.

  • @AquariaNetTV i agree with you but i also believe there are situations where abortion is the right thing to do

  • Another genius trying to make Law out of emotion.....

  • One more thing. You could argue that she's not correct that no pro-lifers want to criminalize abortion. The are plenty such people. So, she may be wrong on that point. But her being wrong on that point would not at all make her position inconsistent. It is still perfectly consistent to want something to be illegal but not criminal.

    She may be wrong for other reasons, but she is not wrong on the grounds of consistency. She may be wrong but her position on what the law should be is not confused.

  • (2 of 2) you would know this too. In Canada, many pot activists argue that pot should be decriminalized. That would make it illegal, but not criminal. This is what the woman in the video wants: abortion to be illegal but not criminal. Illegal but no jail time.

    You can criticize the idea of making abortion illegal but not criminal, but not on the ground of it being inconsistent. Any lawyer with half a brain could tell you that this woman's position is not confused but is perfectly consistent.

  • (1 of 2) Let me give you a quick lesson on the law "queerveganliberal".

    This woman thinks that abortion should be illegal but not criminal. That makes perfect sense. Not everything that is illegal is legally classified as a crime. Littering may be illegal, but it is not a crime in most countries. The same goes for speeding 10 km/h above the speed limit. You may get a fine for these activities but they are not criminal activities.

    If you're at all familiar with the marijuana debate,

  • @wrestlingmast543 Uh... Go look up the definition of the words 'crime' and 'illegal' and get back to us.

  • @juliewashere88 Hey. I'm preparing a longer response to your reply. It might be too long for the comment section so I might send it to you as a message,

    However, I did want to post something on the comment section to show you that you've got it wrong. Let me begin my points by stating the logical effect of what your comment implies against my view and then refuting the view that I think you are trying to state.

  • Comment removed

  • @juliewashere88 I’m reading your reply as wanting to say the following. I argued that, since the terms “illegal” and “criminal” do not refer to the same thing, it is perfectly coherent to say that an action should be illegal but not criminal. You want to argue the opposite and say that since “illegal” and “criminal” or “illegal action” and “crime” are the same thing, it is not coherent to say (as the woman in this video said) that an action should be illegal but should not criminal.

  • @juliewashere88 To show that I am correct is saying that "illegal" and "criminal" are not identical or synonymous terms, what I'll need to do is show that there are classes of illegal activities (or cite a relevant source that can confirm for me that there are illegal activities) that do no count as criminal activities. To do that, I'll cite a dictionary, since you asked me to look up the definition of the terms "crime" and "illegal". I won't cite just any dictionary though. The source that

  • @juliewashere88 I'll be citing is Black's Law Dictionary. It's the world's leading legal dictionary. You should buy it. It will really help your understanding of legal terms.

    You can find it on Amazon. I think that they're in the 9th edition.

    It was a big help to me and my peers in our first year of law school.

    Black's Law Dictionary provides the following definition for a term that gives me an example of a class of illegal activities that are also not criminal.

  • @juliewashere88 The definition is the following. The term "Civil Infraction" is defined as "An act or omission that, though not a crime, is prohibited by law and is punishable. • In some states, many traffic violations are classified as civil infractions."

    Read it very carefully. Civil infractions are illegal activities (i.e. activities that are prohibited by law) but are not crimes. They give the example of traffic violations. I gave that very example in my post to "queerveganliberal".

  • @juliewashere88 The punishment for such offences is typically a fine.Yes, I know, some traffic violations can be criminal violations, but those would not be infractions (given that the definition of infraction precludes the criminal element). Thus, traffic violations can be crime and can also be mere infractions. In the section case, i.e. as in cases in which traffic violations are infractions, they are not criminal. The woman in this video seems to want the same thing for abortion.

  • @juliewashere88 It is perfectly fine for you to disagree with the woman in this video, but she is not at all confused in her suggestion that abortion should be illegal (i.e. prohibited by law) but should not be criminal.

    I hope that these comments help. I'm preparing lengthier comments to help you understand these concepts better if you are interested. I will cite Black's Law Dictionary again, the [Canadian] Constitution Act, 1867, some Canadian jurisprudence (rest assured that this
