Are you just feigning, being that dim? Of course I could say, but it has nothing to do with this question, because "murder," (or homicide, to be more technically correct, legally speaking), is the killing of a person, but an embryo or early stage fetus is NOT a person-- which is why abortion is allowed, and not considered homicide or murder. Those, like yourself, who do consider it thusly, are out of synch with the majority of society. The idea that you are supposedly trying to defend, in fact, is that this life that could potentially be aborted, should be considered a person. So you are putting the cart before the horse, to bring up a concept (murder) which, by definition, only befalls those who have already been defined as human beings.
FoxHastings said: ↑ Why do you think it's OK to make women's lives hell and destroy their basic right to bodily autonomy? LOL, an almost coherent statement once again proving the misogyny of the Anti-Choicers.. HOW WOULD YOU KNOW? WHAT HAS "MARRIED" GOT TO DO WITH IT ? NO, it isn't. Abortion rights have nothing to do with marriage...WTF ??? There is no "only" when it comes to one's basic human rights....look up rights...they can't be "suspended". See, women are not committing a crime by getting pregnant so they shouldn't get a punishment.... But JUST FOR fun let's suspend YOUR right of bodily autonomy and then you can "donate" your kidneys, heart, liver, lungs....see, without your right to bodily autonomy we could do that .................... WHY NOT!!!! Well then you just tend to your contraceptives and let others tend to theirs
↑ WHY does anyone think banning abortion will stop abortions? ↑ If it won't then why ban it? OHGAWD HERE WE GO AGAIN with the blasted obvious... Rape is a crime against a person. Allowing it to go unchecked would cause chaos in society, laws do deter it and the CRIMINALS who committed it are punished because it's against the law. Getting pregnant is NOT a crime even if those who don't want women to have rights think it is. Abortion is NOT a crime against a PERSON and does not cause chaos in society. Funny how Anti-Choicers think women should be treated like rapists and other criminals..
LOL, my , what a busy UNPRODUCTIVE little bee you've been... Now, tell me why I would care enough to read all that ???
You don't know that. If rape was legal, would some people commit rape when they otherwise wouldn't if was illegal? Sure. To the point where there would be "chaos?" Doubtful. Thankfully most human beings are not human waste animals, and would not commit rape even if it was perfectly legal. And yet rape still happens. I don't know who you're talking about, because I certainly don't believe e that.
That is a sweeping generalization. Dems enjoy super majority control and reps have no voice in CA. Those people you look down on live better than those living in the Dems petri dish.
That contradicts your "I say what I mean" comment in the same thread you contradicted your "I oppose authoritarianism" position. Why not add another contradiction to your collection.
I hadn't realized what a chore, you find reading to be. But it is pointless to try to convince someone why they should entertain other points of view. And, just out of politeness, if one was involved in a discussion or debate with another person, as I thought the two of us were, it is I think a minimum expectation, to pay attention to the responses to your own points, just as that would be true, in an actual conversation. But you are making it clear where you stand, as far as those character issues go. Don't read my response, then. It makes one wonder why you bothered to reply to me, but I guess you just like to hear yourself shout out the same lines, over & over again. I will keep that in mind-- that all I am seeing, in your future "replies," is a noisemaker, who has no appreciation of a thoughtful response, and who, in fact, finds reading them, an imposition.
FoxHastings said: ↑ Rape is a crime against a person. Allowing it to go unchecked would cause chaos in society, Yes, I know that....if there was no punishment for rape it would be rampant...and cause chaos in society I'm sorry that you don't seem to have any knowledge of history....for instance , at one time husbands could rape their wives whenever they felt like it. Now it's a crime and more husbands listen when they hear "no" and are charged with rape if they do it anyway.. Yes, and abortion will still happen if it's banned....to the detriment of women...WOW won't Anti-Choicers celebrate that!!! Rape causes chaos, abortion doesn't and never has.. Ya, everything you have posted leads me to believe:""how Anti-Choicers think women should be treated like rapists and other criminals.."" IF one wants abortion banned they want to make criminals out of women....treat them like rapists and other criminals..
It's too bad we have so many delusional people who think fetuses are persons and so trample on the rights of real people to save them. I'm not entirely sure how this will turn out. I guess money we would have sent to help people in other countries will now go to help women in red states get abortions. I sure would never want to live in a state like that.
I might be well-meaning if I thought we should close churches to save people from being brainwashed into believing in Imaginary Friends. Should my good intentions make any difference in whether or not we close churches? If she changes her mind about assuming the risk of continuing the pregnancy? What her right to exercise control over her body?
No, but I hasten to point out that abortion laws were proven an unnecessary intrusion into the lives of women.
California is impacted by periodic Republican control of Congress, White House and Supreme Court. Calling California a Democratic "petri dish" is absurd. Anyway, I moved away from California because I don't care for their economic policies, particularly where housing is concerned. I feel sorry for people suffering through ignorant red state social policies.
Housing prices are ridiculously high because Democrats haven't had the political courage to tax the crap out residential housing into turned into investments. My last house in Napa was worth more than $1m almost 20 years ago.
Yet our last republican president had no voice here. He wanted to build a wall while CA gave illegals free covid cash, free health care, and sanctuary. Results speak for themselves and your dig on those you look down on, backfired.
