Norwegian man sentenced to 6 years for giving girlfriend abortion pill laced smoothie

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to call this tantamount to medical assault? Since women do do this to themselves, in what pro-choicers consider a form of medical treatment.

After all, those pills are designed to be ingested as part of a course to terminate pregnancy, and women do commonly buy them for that purpose.

 

Nope. It's a physical assault. What I do to myself is my business

 

Or a punch in the belly. A pregnant belly.

 

Serious stuff

 

But not so much because of the assault to the woman.

 

I'll ask this: How would you quantify damages? Surely the future baby would not be a factor in awarding monetary damages to the woman.

 

Why not? Knock out my tooth and I can sue for the loss of that. You took something from a woman that belonged to her

 

More like a time share.

It was only going to belong to her for a few more months. (And that's if we accept that the fetus is a part of her body)

 

It still belongs to the woman.

 

It isn't a "claim" , it's a fact.

 

I think that's very apparent.

 

On what grounds?
That the fetus was her property and not in any way the property of the father?

You're talking about making the fetus be viewed as property now.

 

How long are pro-choicers going to put up this charade?
Claiming "it's not a baby", but then they have to think up all sorts of asinine excuses why the woman's rights have been so seriously infringed if that fetus is terminated without the woman choosing it.

Let's see, so far we've heard:
1. it's part of her body
2. it's her property
3. the act would have a huge effect on her body
4. emotional trauma
5. "It's her choice"

None of these seem particularly plausible why the man should be punished in the way he was.

 

No she was given a drug that could of killed her but did irreparable damage to her body, personally I think he got off lucky.

 

Of course it wouldn't to anyone who thinks men have a right to do anything they want to a woman because they think women are nothing more than slaves, property, that should be forced to gestate.

But happily the rest of the world has moved past the Cave man stage and women are protected from "men" like that.


...and he WAS punished , how delightful!!!

So assault on a woman is not serious stuff?

Ya, sadly for you it IS!


Thank you for once again proving that Anti-Choicers don't give a damn what happens to women

 

If it could have killed her it probably wouldn't have been being sold off drugstore shelves without a prescription.
Why are there school nurses giving this to 13-year-old students without informing the parents?
"It could have killed her" is not a very plausible reason.

Are we talking about the fetus now or the rest of her body?

Seems like we might be back to the "fetus is a part of the woman's body" argument.
(Which I won't argue here because there are other threads on that subject, and it is a separate argument unto itself)

 

NO, there is no argument about the fetus being part of the woman's body, it IS part of the woman's body.

If it isn't then it could be taken out and set on a shelf to grow on it's own. CAN IT?

 

Peanuts can kill you, do you not realise that if you administer a drug any drug to someone without their knowledge, the fact you do not have an intimate knowledge of thier body means you could kill them. If you gave me grape fruit it might well kill me.

It is part of a womans body, their is no ****ing argument!

 

Six years and $23,000.00...… They do it right in Norway

 

Proves even in feminist Norway, where there are virtually no Pro-Lifers, they know it's at least sort of a baby.

 

WTF! What is "sort of a BABY" ???


The punishment was still good....bet that guy didn't think assaulting women was all that bad....until he landed in jail

 

Assaulting the fetus is not assaulting the woman.

Pro-choicers are just angry her "right to choose" got violated.

(Her right to choose whether her baby lives or dies)

And they're SEXIST, because they don't believe the father has any role in that, while claiming the woman completely does.

 

More irrational crap....and the guy still did 6 years and paid $23,000

Hey, maybe you could find out what a similar crime in the US would get !!

YES, DECENT people get upset when people's rights are denied.


Yes, women have complete control over what they do with their own bodies...men do not own a woman because they had sex with her.....that was over back in the cave man days but some people are still back there, grunting irrational crap..

 

But it really sounds like this case didn't just have to do with the woman's body.

The woman was being compensated for loss of her fetus.
As if she owned it and the father didn't.
Not surprising coming out of Norway.
