You mean like those right-wingers who pretend that all abortions take place after 6 months. Nah, the sentence above, the one you wrote is probably one of the most mentally deranged sentences ever typed on PF.
It seems to me that abortion being a "social good" is an excuse for someone to rationalize or justify they themselves having an abortion. The logic goes something like this. "I had an abortion and rather than feel guilty I will try to convince myself that it was for the greater good of society...in fact I sacrificed myself for the good of society and instead of being ostracized by the public I should be rewarded for doing the right thing"... Twisted logic indeed.
Why else would someone argue a political point that has already been won. Abortion is legal. Now it seems it is a "social good" that deserves a medal. Just think of the "social good" of killing all male children 7 years of age and under.
Abortion is legal, but Republicans can't pass enough laws to make it all but inaccessible. At least for poor women. It's a social good that doesn't deserve to be stigmatized. Women should have abortion access without interference and condemnation from zealous "pro-lifers." Your idea of humor?
What is the difference between killing them at three months or seven years. If I have a pregnant cow and she aborts I have still lost a calf.
If you don't know then you shouldn't even be discussing abortion....it's way over your head. A three month fetus is not the same as a 7 year old child. IF you want information about abortion, do a search in this forum, most of your questions have been answered a dozen times... and you won't have to start at minus 10.
I have heard all the arguments and a fetus BECOMES a seven year old child and it happens no other way.
YOU have not lost a calf. YOU never had a calf. If your cow fails to become pregnant, you still don't get a calf, so have you lost one? It is not surprising that some get all upset about abortion when they cannot distinguish between something that is now and something that might happen in the future.
Only if a woman risks her health and life, permanently damages her body, and devotes 9 months of her life to gestate it.
The fact that she aborted it means it was only a potential calf. If you were to sell the pregnant cow, you would get paid for one animal. Not until she has a calf on the ground would you be paid for two.
It seems to me that most people place their own ideology on to what is a social good or not, and unless you actually know the reasoning behind every single abortion your "excuse for someone to rationalize or justify they themselves having an abortion" is little more than your excuse to think how you do about other peoples choices that you know nothing about. Whether abortion is the "right" thing or not is not for the public to decide, that decision lies purely with the woman, to think that society should have the ability to impose a specific viewpoint onto all people goes against every principle of body autonomy .. you, would not accept an arbitrary decision made on your body sovereignty so why should you expect others to do so. When it comes right down to it you, or any other person, has no right to force a woman to place her health in danger, nor to force her to accept non-consented injuries .. unless .. you are prepared to do the same ie that you can be forced to undergo non-consented injuries in order to sustain another person life. Are you prepared to do that, somehow I think not. The twisted logic is that employed by pro-lifers, who seem to think that the unborn should be given rights that far exceed the rights of born people, and then those rights removed at the moment of birth .. the question is why are pro-lifers so free and easy with other peoples rights?
If you don't know the biological and legal differences between a 3 month fetus and a 7 year old then this form of issue is going to be far above your ability to engage in on an adult level.
so if getting rid of babies by killing them is a social good then why only restrict that social good while they are still in the womb? everything you mentioned making it a social good can be accomplished after they are born also
A 7 year old does not reside INSIDE another person, A 7 year old does NOT impose non-consented injuries onto another person, A 7 year old is not biologically dependent on a single person .. a 3 month fetus does and is all of the above. - - - Updated - - - That would only be the case if you wilfully misrepresent what is actually stated.
Yeah, maybe if I was here to convince anyone of anything. But.... since I can honestly say I don't give a F what any of you think... your desire for more conversation with me, via this "because" you ask for, is wasted. My opinions are my opinions. Their acceptance by anyone in the abortion forum cesspool has no affect on me or my life.
No you are not, so why don;t you also attempt to stick to the topic and refute it if you can instead of all the faux emotional clap-trap.
No, I didn't read your article titled "Abortion is Great!"...... so comprehension had nothing to do with it. Wow, good guess. Did you base that on where I said "it stood out" ? Agreed. People like this should never be in charge of raising children: What's sad is that it's become just another form of birth control. Well, sad to most.... apparently orgasmic to the author of your article.... and of course, those of you in this thread. .
"""No, I didn't read your article titled "Abortion is Great!"...... so comprehension had nothing to do with it.""""" You are correct, comprehension had nothing to do with it as you obviously could NOT comprehend even the title... which is .... """Abortion is a Social Good "" Yes, abortion is birth control
the women gave consent for that fetus to live with in her when she gave consent to have sex incase your parents didn't teach you about the birds and the bees as you have just demonstrated they haven't I will educate you unprotected sex equates to pregnancy
you know there was another that justified eliminating millions of lives as social good you know who that was ? take a guess
No, unprotected sex does not mean pregnancy. Giving consent to sex is not giving consent to pregnancy.
