But you make a exception for the unborn female baby's body and mind.

you don't see that as important at all.

An unborn baby is not a man's sperm.

The good mayor is basically polling near zero among black voters in SC.

That means he has no shot.

He's a lot more of a Patriot than President Bone Spurs.

Extreme leftist? You must view anyone who isn't a hard-right authoritarian as being on the far left. I wonder if being a corporate drone for decades caused that line of thinking.

I'm old enough to remember liberals on this forum mocking me and other conservatives who predicted liberals would start calling to tear down Jefferson and Washington monuments because they owned slaves.

The good mayor has proved us right.

In my view, if we can't have monuments for Jefferson and Washington because of their views on slavery, the good mayor's view on abortion should disqualify him for public office.

It took 150 years for a few statues of Robert E Lee and other Confederate generals to come down. I highly doubt many if any statues of Washington or Jefferson come down. Talk... there is talk about lots of stuff. Talk by itself doesn't mean much to me.

Do you argue a fetus does not feel pain?

Would you sign up to have the abortion procedure done to you?

I could never condone something that I would not have done to me. That's b/c I have empathy and I am just.

Liberals talk a lot about social justice. How is is just to tortue a baby in the womb.
Fetuses don't have a developed nervous system until 20 weeks, or the middle of the second trimester. So for the first half of the pregnancy, no fetal pain.

My fiance had an abortion at age 19, and despite being not exactly peaches and cream, she'd do it again if ever in the same circumstances. Still doesn't regret her decision 12 years later. In fact, it was her mother who urged her to get it.

And if I were a woman and found myself pregnant with a baby I didn't want, hell yes I'd want it the hell out of me.

I don't doubt that you would. You seem like a shallow and selfish person.

It is all about you.

Conservatives talk a lot about justice for the unborn. It might be more convincing if they also talked about justice for the born.

A baby has a parasitic relationship to its parents, if the parents can't support themselves already, a baby will make certain they flounder and take the baby with them. So it's not just "about me" as you put it
