    Who the fuck said we had to choose either? We can live in a world with neither, and that world requires women’s rights, including the right to abortion.

      They did, and pointing that out will (I’m guessing) be met with some form of covering their ears and saying “nah nah nah I can’t hear you.”

        I’ve seen the sort. When confronted with the real-world results of their moralizing, they retreat to quoting cherry-picked Bible verses and posting pictures of fetuses (“look how human she looks!”).

              You know that episode of Futurama where Bender needs an update to be compatible with the new kind of robot, and he ends up living out a fantasy of escaping to an island of discarded robots where he lead an uprising?

              There are people who need to be forced to live out their own personal Eraserhead.

          Random question but I’m just wondering your position on this. Is the burden of proof on pro-choice or pro-life advocates when it comes to the humanity of a fetus? In other words, should abortion be legal until we can prove that a fetus is human or should it be illegal until we can prove it isn’t? Just genuinely curious.

            They didn’t answer, so I will. Trust the experts. This is too complex for us amateurs to balance the level of development of the foetus versus the health and thriving of the woman versus the social and economic effects of allowing the foetus to have a go at becoming more developed

      The real kicker is: no amount of 10yo parents is going to prevent abortions. We’ve been through this whole song and dance before. The abortions didn’t stop, just a lot more women died.

      They’re saying that an incestuous rape baby being born every year is a lesser evil than abortions being legal. They’re wrong, but insofar as they believe that, they’re not going to support a woman’s right to choose.

      Did you not read their post?

      How does protecting abortion rights prevent abortions?

      I don’t agree with them but at least I understand their position.

        Have you not paid attention to the world?

        Abortion rights are almost always bundled with women’s rights, medical care and contraception access. As a result, those societies with the easiest access to abortions actually have the lowest amount of abortions than societies that criminalize it. Coincidentally it also has the lowest number of women’s deaths, but I can already guess that you don’t care about that part. They are also societies where it is less likely that a child is raped by her father and forced to give birth at 10, since women’s rights are more ingrained in culture, but I already know that by this point you stopped reading.

          Fuck, you didn’t even manage to make it through my comment either.

          That’s amazing.
