Totally agreeing with your logic here. You have a very fluent speaking voice, despite a few mispronunciations.

The thing is, no matter how much sense it makes to anyone to stop abortion, it will ALWAYS be seen as chauvinist to force a woman to do ANYTHING. Women love men who pay for their dinner, but hate men who try to pay them less.

Men and women are fundamentally different, and I think that neither you or anyone else will be able to deter pro-abortionists. Its an issue of freedom vs morals

@MrMaxwelldl Those few mispronunciations is from my speech impediment, something I can't really change easily. But thanks.

You are hot AND smart.

@trentWHY You obviously care what I think since you're taking the time to write a pointless, waste of space, comment :D

and i gotta say, i dislike children and i always will. having a baby seems like a nightmare to me. i would rather die than get pregnant, give childbirth and take care for a baby. even thinking about it brings tears to my eyes.

what you are describing is a situation where everybody likes children, and where you are assuming that every woman would be a kickass parent.

unwanted children that do not have caring parents a lot of times grow up to be what you and me would call "bad people".

[TheBlackenedWHITE]

look, forcing a kid on a woman and not allowing abortion - do you think a child born to that woman, would be taken care of? do you think the woman would love and care for him the same as she would if he was planned? no.

and when you say "but there are orphanages!" - childbirth is very traumatic and extremely painful. and beside that, orphanages are overflowing with unwanted children.

abortion done correctly, legally and at the right time is not killing a baby, but just removing a clump of cells.

The 'Thompson' idea, wasn't very well done. Better fitted for rape situations.

@TornadoCreator it's a her Thompson was a women lol

[TornadoCreator]

It's an interesting debate. I personally have no issue with Thompsons argument, I agree with him. The violinist has no right to use my body, I have a moral obligation to keep him alive but I'm not prepared to be leached on. (I find the analogy to fit better for rape). If however the violinist asks me before the procedure begins (ie. concenting sex), I cannot turn my back on the moral obligation. I am anti-abortion personally, however my opinion on the situation isn't set in stone.

I believe thompsons argument works perfectly with a rape pregnancy as it was forced upon them. So I believe that this should be an exception to the rule of abortion.

[geniusindesigns]

What would you said if that individual was rape and want and abortion? In addition, that person may feel that they have to get it in this situation.

[Adroitism]

@trentWHY more like 100000000000 or so...

[Adroitism]

@marioluver86 exactly my POV.

@undergrnd20 says: Some people do.

IN you saying " all the people going bareback and getting pregnant then getting repeated abortions because they can". youre saying abortion is a form of birth control. If abortion were used as a method of birth control, a typical woman would have at least two or three pregnancies (abortions) per year, for nearly 40 yrs. Do the math, thats 120 pregnancies/births/ abortions in a lifetime,at about $60,000 for abortion. Not a valid idea
