    Just out of passing curiousity: do they restrict abortion at an earlier or later stage of gestation in that European nation than in Mississippi (at 15 weeks)?

    Fair enough. How many foreign women risk their lives to come here?

    A zygote isn’t a baby
    A fetus isn’t a baby

    These are basic medical terms that are universally accepted.

    A zygote or fetus have no right to force the action of another.

    Since you feel these are babies, are illegal immigrants carrying a US citizen if impregnated on US soil?

    Does the bodily autonomy of one overrule the bodily autonomy of another?

    Should anyone be forced to give their body, life or organs to save another?

    I share this same sentiment, of wishing every child could have loving, stable parents and a pleasant home life. I just don't think an acceptable solution to get there is to kill all the kids for whom that isn't the reality.

    Interesting how we also charge people for double homicide for that fetus you claim isnt a life. Why is that? Why is it not considered a life when the mom wants to be the murderer?

    I didn’t say it wasn’t a life, I said it isn’t a baby. If you would like to join the conversation then please read and understand what I am saying.

    Feel free to also answer any of the questions I have posed.

    Read my post again. I didn't use the term "baby". If you're going to get hung up on terminology, at least try to respond to what I actually wrote.

    I don’t believe any sane person is an advocate for killing “kids”. Can you cite some major legislation that looks to allow this?

    The whole point of this Twitter trending thing isn't "forcing" women to remain pregnant but rather that they avoid pregnancy altogether by not having sex. I'm all for that. If the boys out there can't seem to control themselves and ain't stickin' around to be responsible, let the women take charge by closing their vaginas for business. They can say it's because Roe was shut down, whatever works for them.

    By the way, as far as where I stand on abortion - from 2018 and 2019 ...

    Replace life with baby if you prefer that colloquial term instead. So why do we consider it a baby, a life, when its not the mom murderering it?

    A child defines as “a young person especially between infancy and puberty”. Saying unborn child is an oxymoron.

    Poverty is something 3rd world critters can’t avoid, getting knocked up is.

    It is a life, it is just not sentient life
    It cannot think feel or comprehend

    Plants show higher levels of conscious than a zygote does.

    The argument that this being should overrule the rights of another are inhumane

    Why do we charge people with double homicide when they kill a pregnant human person?

    I am sorry if people using correct terms are a step too far for you.

    It's actually a legal term in some jurisdictions, such as the United States:

    I know you hate Fox, but they had a doctor on last night who said at 15 weeks the fetus feels pain during an abortion, maybe earlier. If that fetus murdered 50 people and was sentenced to die, the left would argue any pain is cruel and unusual.

    Honestly this is no more retarded than the ****-for-brains conservatives who think raped women should have to carry to term.

    First, laws of this nature exist almost entirely in the United States and only in about 2/3’s of the United States so acting like this is some universal definition or legal view is incorrect.

    I can admit the law is inconsistent in those states but in the end it comes down to choice by the mother. In one case she was deprived of choice and in the other she made the choice.

    This view is perfectly fine. There are a ton of places my taxpayer dollars go to that I would rather didn’t though.
