The legality of abortion doesn't actualy affect the rate of abortion, op.

we should make them illegal anyways, since discounting rape victims, people who need abortions were too stupid to use birth control, we can use it as a new vice tax on the poor and stupid.

Abortions will happen period. This isn't about a matter of opinion, regardless of law, availability and safety they will happen. If a woman can't get it done in a clinic, she might do it in a wall-mart bathroom. The real truth of the matter is people are only seeking out to punish women. In particularly underprivileged women who need help most.

Also, this is a great article anytime this comes up debate comes up. Its all well and good that you want to take rights away from women, but at least admit that its just for women from social strata you don't like.
The only moral abortion is my abortion
http://mypage.direct.ca/w/writer/anti-tales.html

I would argue that if men were the ones to carry babies, not only would abortions be universally legal, it would be so common that there would be a wide range of places to go too. There would be the cheap, but kind of gross Chain abortion clinics, probably one of them owned by McDonald's, and then there would be classier abortion joints, which are nicer but more expensive. Of course there would be loyalty cards for the classier joints, probably punch cards for the cheaper places (Hey, I forgot my punch card last time, can I combine these two cards so I get my 11th abortion free?). And for the truly frugal, there would be DIY kits, probably a shop-vac attatchment or something.

Also, if people truly cared about children their focus would be on sexual education, availability of birth control, social security nets, funding for children s recreational activities etc etc, but nah! gently caress those dumb loving sluts for getting preggers, amiright?

Just because women murder their unborn children doesnt mean we should facilitate and approve of it, women also murder their young infants all the time as well, should we set up infant murdering stations?

I am for providing birth control and social safety nets im not really sure what those have to do with abortion though?

condoms break and boys lie. not even getting your tubes tied is 100% effective since they don't always scar completely shut. plus pregnancy is way more dangerous (and expensive) than a surgical abortion, especially for young teenage girls.

also, it already is a tax on the poor, since there are usually very few abortion clinics in a given state, necessitating the money for travel and maybe a local hotel room. on top of that, several states require 24-72 hr waits after the initial consultation, which means taking more days off of work, which probably isn't possible. so yeah you already have your vice tax on the poor, much like with any other god drat thing in this country.

women die when abortions aren't legal. they die in horrible ways. doesn't really matter how you feel about abortion because them's the facts. women have been terminating pregnancies for literal thousands of years, dunno why you think not having access to safe, low risk abortions is gonna change that.

nope, miscarriage unless the fetus is already dead inside the uterus and is just being removed.

also a lot of women who have incomplete miscarriages through no fault of their own have died because no doctor in the hospital they went to was able or willing to perform a dilation and curettage because of the stigma attached to abortion. so that's cool i mean, supporting women dying even if they didn't elect to have an abortion is pretty great.

what if the baby doesn't have a brain or like legs and arms (really hard to kill people if you don't have legs or arms)?

question: can a woman get an abortion if she wanted to get pregnant but finds out in the first trimester that she has cancer (or another serious illness) and can either have the baby and probably die because of the delay in treatment or have an abortion, get treatment, and try again later?

one time I got in a big argument with mom about abortion rights. i had just started college and thought maybe i could change her mind about it? anyway, it was getting heated and i asked "what about rape victims? do you think they should be forced to raise their rapist's baby?" and then she said "you know i was raped right?"

which, no, i definitely did not know. it was long before i was born and happily i am not a rape baby. but, when your mom reveals that she was raped once, the argument is over

You have to understand that there is almost zero over-lap between a person who is anti-choice and someone who approves of social assistance. Your political views wouldn't even make up 0.00000000001% of the voting population. The kind of person who prevents women from getting abortion would also get rid all forms of social security if they could. It would be impossible to vote for a politician who would both ban abortions, but would also be willing to raise taxes and spend money take care of the huge influx of babies.

Also, what does abortion have to do with killing a born child? A child is a person with autonomy, a fetus in a womans uterus is part of her body, which she can determine what do with it. Absolutely no-one has any right to tell a woman what to do with her own body. A woman's body does not become property of a baby, and you can not argue the fetus is alive unless you admit that a pregnant woman is not.

And as I and others have pointed out, outlawing abortion will not prevent abortions, rather make it more dangerous. And if you are someone who is ok with that you do not care about mother nor children in general at all.

Nacho Destroyer posted:

In what way does this NOT have do with politics? Unless you are arguing that abortion clinics should be closed and women be punished outside the law or something.

I know your are "doing a thing", this idea is more laughable then disturbing. Its not even about a matter of opinion of how corrupt and hosed up it would end up being. Hell, even when it enviably means that only the wealthy can have kids, unintended pregnancies will still happen, and they will just get private doctors to perform them in secret, just as they do now.

It is truly scary that there are people out there who believe that you should be fully finacially and mentally prepared to give birth to a child and raise him or her to adulthood, each and every single time you have sex.

yeah that's called being responsible for your actions, if you perform an act which is designed solely to create children you should be prepared to have children.

So until the cord is cut we can kill the baby, even if it's been born, yes?

When it involves the welfare of another it does. You've heard the old saw 'Your right to swing your arms about ends at my nose'? Well how about 'Your right to bodily autonomy ends at killing my son/daughter'?

And as I and others have pointed out, outlawing abortion will not prevent abortions, rather make it more dangerous.

Outlawing murder will never prevent murder. So what? I want the killing of unborn children to be as troublesome as possible.

Not every time you have sex, no. But if you happen to create a new life then rather than murder it, yes, you do have some responsibilities.

Stop killing children - it's surprisingly easy to do.
