Pro-Life is Profitable Too

I saw a comment on an article that I felt like doing a video about.

From a strictly mathematical stand point how could over 50 million "mistakes" have been made? 50 million+ being the number of abortions since RvW in 1973. Life isn't a mistake no matter how you look at it. Anyone that says there's is needs drugs and therapy.

@SamWayne83 No one is saying life is a mistake, or even that unplanned life is a mistake. You're grossly oversimplifying things, as is usually the case with anti-choicers. A sperm penetrating an egg does EVENTUALLY produce life, but you can't tell me a fetus that neither thinks nor feels until the third trimester is alive in any meaningful sense, and especially not a zygote. By your broad and ridiculous definition of life, you're committing a holocaust just washing your hands.

[SamWayne83]

Sorry one more thing. The whole "mistake" argument is a bit naive to say the least. How can anyone honestly say that, for the most part mind you not counting rapes, that two consenting adults having sex resulting in pregnancy is a "mistake." Conception is a by product of sex, no mistake there. The mistake was the fact that these people more than like didn't use any protection. Think about it condoms, and birth control are around 97% affective when used.

@SamWayne83 I'm not disputing that contraception is the way to go, but I think what's naive is your simplistic view of what constitutes a mistake. Sure, people know that having sex products pregnancy in many cases, and not using contraception certainly raises the chances of it, but how do these invalidate a mistake that's made when two people who don't want pregnancy wind up pregnant? That's like saying someone who drives with no seat belt and turns into the wrong lane didn't make a mistake.

is it wrong to desire infinite growth and evolution of consciousness?!

[clandestine919]

I think that the argument that abortion is bad because you can make money off of it is totally missing the point. Abortion is a bad thing because it ends what could potentially be (and in late term abortions, is) a human life.

@mshippiemama23 I don't think you ought to be telling anyone to educate themselves when you misspell irrational, wouldn't, pregnant, and say "what normal strong woman do" like its correct grammar. Sure, if contraception is used, the chance of pregnancy and STDs is minimal. That's not an argument against abortion though, it's an argument for SAFE SEX. Do you even know what you're rambling on about?

[mshippiemama23]

@TaylorX04 irriational? no, not at all what i meant, what i meant is maybe if there was full proper use of contraception in most of abortion cases then you wouldint be pregant and have other unwanted things=STDS!! like what normal strong woman do = EDUCATE YOURSELF :)

@SamWayne83 Biologically speaking, they ARE different from you and I. A brain dead "person" has no electrical activity, because the cerebral neurons have died. No one recovers from brain death, and an end of electrical activity always means an end of consciousness - no postulation of a "soul" is necessary.

[SamWayne83]

One more thing. You said that the "life starts at conception" is based on an article of faith, and then went on later to use the term "empty shell" for a brain dead person. That brain dead person living off of "technology" is no more different biologically than you or I. Does that mean you believe them to have something else inside them other than organs yourself before their brain death? Something perhaps like a "soul" of sorts that makes them more "human?" That would take faith too sir.
