    Well, to raise a child to adulthood (with college expenses) could cost $400,000.

    Wouldn't it be more economically efficient to end that child's life at six months or maybe one year?

    There could be financial testing every three years at age 3, 6, 9, 12, and 15.

    If at any of these junctures things aren't going well financially for the parent(s), they could see the family court judge for a child killing permit and receive taxpayer funded and painless lethal injection.

    To abort a child because it’s less expensive than a hospital birth is sound logic.

    The same logic applies when a six month old child is eliminated, which saves the $400,000 cost of raising and educating that child.

    It is if you have no intention of keeping said child and you know this before its born.

    Why should a woman put her life at risk to deliver a baby she doesnt want? And I do not think life begins at conception either. So I wont accept that argument at all.

    And again, you can put up a 6 month old child for adoption if it comes to that.

    But instead you seem like you would rather just play word games or semantics?

    I’m not very supportive of abortion as a routine form of birth control.

    OH Look! ANOTHER NON-answer !!!


    Seems the anti-Choice right really doesn't have an argument, no answers=no argument :)


    Standard here,"" When I have no answer I repeatedly yell "keep up"....even though I'm the one so far behind """



    In your haste to type your trite little "Try to keep up" when you have no answer , you did not answer the question you quoted:

    Yes, if you want the fetus to have the right to use another's body to sustain their life then that means the fetus has more rights than anyone .

    That's impossible....no woman can demand that another person use their body to sustain her life....no woman can demand another person give her their heart or kidneys or blood.... NO ONE CAN.


    But you think a fetus can so that means you think a fetus has more rights than women or anyone else...


    Unable to refute or even address one word.....pathetic.....I guess when one has no real argument it's best to yell Poppycock! ...how about "Balderdash", that, too , could hide the fact you have no answers :)



    UH DUH, the post you quoted but could only reply "Poppycock" to...

    UGGA DUHH...the unborn is inside her and the newborn isn't....didn't you know that ?? LOL!! So it is different..

    See, the unborn doesn't need it's diapers changed or need to be burped.....so it's different...

    No woman is obligated to take care of her unborn or born.....

    If you think the unborn are not part of the woman , AS YOU HAVE STATED, then they have NO need to be in the woman. Why should they just float around unattached (as YOU think they are) not part of the woman ...then why are they even IN the woman ...why can't they be taken out IF THEY ARE NOT PART OF THE WOMAN AS you CLAIM????


    Says who ? You?




    NO, "nature" (science) does NOT say the woman fetus are separate....they are connected....if they weren't connected then the fetus could be taken out of the woman and left to grow on it's own....it can't.

    That is a reasonable request. If people want to risk unwanted pregnancy they can risk the cost as well.

    Why don't you ask poster #111 who made the false claim that half of abortions are for married women????

    Completely arbitrary.... seriously?

    arbitrary
    adj.
    1. Determined by chance, whim, or impulse, and not by necessity, reason, or principle


    viable
    adj.
    2.b.
    Capable of living outside the uterus. (fetus or newborn)

    So no, the concept of viability is not in fact 'completely arbitrary' as you suggested.
    Measuring the point at which viability actually occurs may certainly be less exact than measuring things like pain perception or consciousness... but viability does have meaning behind it; and there is reason and principle backing up why it could/should be used as a cutoff point for legal abortion, in contrast to your earlier metric of 'human being-ship' (aka person-hood).

    We know the mechanisms behind how pain is transmitted,
    the structures involved can be observed and we also know
    that in the earliest stages of pregnancy, prior to the 23rd week,
    that those structures don't even exist. We also have tools that can measure consciousness.

    But let's step back for a moment... Are you saying that if it could more accurately be determined that pain perception or consciousness occurs only after a particular point, that you would then be in support of a legal abortion cutoff being placed just before that point?

    Sound reasoning imo. Though I would say cost to the mother shouldn't be the only thing to consider.
    BTW, on that note, I've been trying to ask everyone in the thread, but what's your opinion on
    this compromise proposal we cobbled together from some Ranked Vote results a while ago?

    Pretty sure I understand it pretty well actually.
    But feel free to fill in any holes you think might exist.
    That's what a discussion like this is for after-all... or at least what it ought to be for...

    Why?

    Interesting... well, let's do a thought experiment based on that then.

    You're basically saying here that for a cell with the potential to grow into a human adult,
    making it to the uterus is what qualifies such a cell for consideration as a "human being",
    with the right therefor to not be aborted. Right?

    This raises several questions, but I'll just ask a few of them...

    1. Let's say we do get our artificial womb as you suggested. If we take an egg and we take some sperm and create a new zygote cell within that womb, does/should that cell then qualify for consideration as a "human being"? Should subsequent removal of that cell from the artificial womb then be prohibited?

    2. Let's say we don't quite get to an actual artificial womb, but we instead figure out some way to get humans to grow to maturity within basic test-tubes (i.e. literal test-tube babies). If we create a zygote cell in such a test-tube, can it be considered a "human being"? Is it OK to remove it from the test-tube? What if removing it from a test-tube is required at some point as part of the growing process?

    3. Let's say, contrary to the previous case, that the test-tubes aren't capable of fully growing humans, but can only grow a zygote up to the embryo stage, after which the embryo dies... can a zygote cell in such a test-tube still be considered a "human being"? Are we free to remove a zygote cell from these test-tubes? And what are the implications of creating such cells if they are all doomed to die?

    There are plenty of reasons to not be OK with infanticide.
    Sounds to me like your reading something into my posts which wasn't stated.

    That's OK, just thought you might want to clear the record on that, but I guess not.

    that appears to create a lot of semantics from science, if i may be allowed to respond graphically for the purpose of making this less complicated for the uneducated like myself.

    generally if the male has good sperm count, and the female has good quality ovarian eggs, life begins right after bare back penetration. that should be used as the standard for the potential of life.

    therefore any act of abortion post mutual climax is an abomination unworthy of tax dollars, and could possibly result in criminal penalties pending a Supreme Court decision that overturns roe versus wade.

    Overturning Roe v Wade would not make abortion illegal. It would just shift authority back to the States, and the majority of states would not completely outlaw abortion. Most would keep the 20 week cutoff that hinges on viability.
