Well no.

Pro abortions: we must kill the baby (care only about killing the baby)
Pro life: we must respect mother and baby (care about the life of both mother and baby)

Your point?

Oh, right. You think a baby is a female reproductive organ. /eyeroll/
That baby could breathe unassisted. Once born, ANYBODY can take care of a baby.

While in utero, the fetus is completely dependent on the pregnant woman.

Being "legal" is not a litmus test for being a moral behavior.
Well, thank god you are here so you can tell people what is and isn't moral behavior! What would we do without you, newtovenice?

Not, destroy or not destroy reproductive organs.
And you lie again. Show me where I said anything about destroying organs? I said having decisions made about them. Geesh, it's right there in the post you quoted, and still you lied.

When you lie, I will call you a liar. Stop lying and I will have no reason to call you one.

You as usual miss the point, an go for a personal attack, your usual move when you have nothing intelligent to say.

To recap: Making something legal doesn't mean it's the right thing to do. Or do you think owing slaves was a good behavior to participate in? It was legal for hundreds of years. Using your "logic" that makes it moral, according to you.

This is a mostly ignored topic. Pregnant women get all the say in the matter. The father has no voice. That doesn't seem right.
I think he does more than most realize. That's not to say he can make that ultimate decision.
In the video the men said their voice encouraged the abortion.

Right. How does killing a baby affect a woman's reproductive organs? It doesn't. Her organs remain intact. There are no decisions made 'about' them. But it sure kills the baby.

It's no wonder we have an opioid epidemic now. The men whose wives/girlfriends had the abortion said they both started to sedate themselves with alcohol and drugs. Sad.
As do a lot of men whose wives/girlfriends don't have abortions.
I don't think you can pin the opioid epidemic on depression for insisting your SO abort.

That's not the most important factor. The most important factor is what side of the birth canal it is on. If it's on the inside you can't hear it scream, if it's on the outside you can. Plenty of the fetuses in the third trimester can breathe on their own, but while they're in the womb they can't scream. Not so you can hear them anyway.


Everything we do regarding abortions is designed to help us live with what has been done. Call it a fetus and deny it it's humanity. Make sure it is still inside the womb so if it screams we can't hear it. We may decide to kill it but we still want to be civilized about it.
