as i said, conservatives don't hate freedom
They are ALL IN FAVOR for guns :P
And the reason they're permitted to care about the freedom to own guns is because they're all spineless bootlickers. They'd never bite the kleptocratic hand that feeds them, even if it only feeds them the tiniest of table scraps. They claim to hate big government, but if a Republican is in charge, they'll gladly accept and submit to any amount of oppression; they've been programmed to hate the "other" more than they like themselves. 1% chance they try to overthrow the government when/if it's actually necessary, 99% chance they just shoot up a minority neighborhood instead when the anger boils over and they misplace blame for the state of their lives. Doesn't bother our oligarchs any, and least of all the conservative leadership.

As far as I know only in Texas its like this, and yes, of course a fetus is alive....


Consent from who? lol, pregnancy is a physiological process, it does not need consent from anyone. You had unprotected sex? then theres a probability you can get pregnant, very simple. Cause and effect, action and consequence.


Nobody said its a person, but its a human being in development . Again, becoming pregnant is a choice, every person has the right of becoming pregnant or not

Im just replying to your bad "analogy". You are comparing a physiological process to removing a kidney........

no, its not. In your example, a disease will kill the person. In an abortion the mother kills her own child
So, I shouldn't have a right to do what I want with my own body if I'm interrupting a "physiological process"?

  • This will always boil down to the moral issue. If people truly feel abortion = murder, then of course they're going to want the law to be consistent. Murder is bad.
  • That then leads to a big domino effect on both sides. If abortion = murder, then the implications of sex change completely. I think it's all contingent on that. People leaning left generally feel this is oppressive; people leaning right feel this is as simple as "murder bad - plz ban"
  • We all have to concede that we don't know when personhood truly begins - it's still heavily debated among scientists. It's worth talking about, but none of us have the resources to convince the other side. It's still a philosophical point unless Science can get closer to something we can agree on.
  • This issue is a giant, juicy apple for politicians. It being divisive is what gives it so much power. There's a reason you're hearing about abortion every election cycle. I just hope more and more people can see it for what it is, politically.
  • Many users on here are talking about this being a slippery slope, where this sets a precedence for more left or right leaning policies on each side of the debate. While you're 100% correct, that holds potentially true for every law, left or right. I feel that makes it a moot point. I see commentators mention this talking point on the left and right a lot. It's the same logic used by anti-maskers.

@Valwinz


From the mouth of the bastard himself. Guess we'll find condoms on the black market next to assault rifles soon, huh?

Y'all won't be happy until everyone's rights are taken away, won't you?

There’s no such thing as ending abortion. Abortions are just going to be moved out of the clean and professional environment and into dirty motels again. Abortions are going to keep happening regardless of the law.
The same can be said about literally all crimes, they will continue to happen regardless of the law, so as they will just continue to happen, should we then do nothing about them?
What about rape?

Oh wait. I forget that only happens in Republican fantasies.
How many abortions were carried out because of rape? not even 1%. You cant argue your general cause using exceptions
So, I shouldn't have a right to do what I want with my own body if I'm interrupting a "physiological process"?
No, you should not have a right to end someone else right to life
