Who even aborts for the hell of it? That makes it sound like there are hoards of women who are getting pregnant on purpose just so they can have an abortion for fun.

"Booya! Was bored as hell, but I just got to flush another embryo! That made my day!" *fist pump*

Perhaps he means women that use abortion as emergency contraception because they're that daft that they have unprotected sex?
(Note: I'm not referring to women that have been coerced or forced into having unprotected sex here.)

What about people who have children who don't want them? A bit more responsibility would be good all round I think - oh, and perhaps more comfortable johnnies might help too. (i.e. Johnnies that are that comfortable that people won't want to have sex without them on.)


I would rather get an abortion than bring a child I don't want into the world, it would seem like the choice more consistent with my ethics. I don't believe that you're really harming anything sentient up until 20-odd weeks into the pregnancy, anyway. I think it's morally better to get an abortion ASAP if you're going to get one.

I think this is vastly overblown in the minds of people who have issues with women having more control of their own sexuality (hence the reason why so many of these anti-abortion screeds are peppered with references to "sluts" and "promiscuity").

Abortion is one of those topics which I have a really hard time siding exactly with the liberals.

I'm not particularly conservative, however, in my view on abortion and can understand the necessity for it in a lot of cases.

I just hate how people just seem to abort for the hell of it.


Who exactly are these people who are aborting "just for the hell of it"?

I don't think that's true. I'm all for sluts and promiscuity. I might actually get laid then! But no, it's about responsible promiscuity, on both sides.

I know this will sound morbid and wrong but I found this absolutely hilarious *gets ready to run*!

Quote:
"...why is it that men are afraid to speak up for their children as they drive their child’s mother to the abortion mill? Because society has spent the last 40 years telling them that the ultimate display of respect and equality to their female counterparts is the freedom and constitutional right that is killing her child at her simplest whim, as if she were having a tooth or a wart removed. Shut up and let me do what I want.

It is impossible to have 50% of a pregnancy. It is thus impossible not to give 100% of the decision power to a person. Since the mother is the one who risks her own body during pregnancy. The one that has to go through all the vomit. The loss of job opportunities and all that craft. It makes sense and is only ethical to give this decision power to the mother.

Quote:
And going one step further, consider the utter selfishness of the question posed in this graphic. Why inconvenience yourself with a child? Kill it so you can continue your promiscuous lifestyle with no regrets
Who says it is wrong to be selfish? There are no laws against selfishness. And I think that in regards to my own body, I have all the right to be selfish.

Quote:
Tell me, please, the last time you heard a mother say she regretted keeping her child.
Well, for sure society would be way too judging of a mother that would ever say that publicly.


Quote:
Women do not regret the children they have; they regret the children they didn’t have.

That's irrelevant though. Laws don't exist to stop you from taking decisions "you might regret".
Quote:
And on top of that, mothers, did you know that you’re free of your parental responsibility once your child turns 18?
Wow 18 years. ULTRA EASY! This is the moment in which I am no longer sure if you are not trolling.

Quote:
In my recent years of pro-life activism,
You mean anti-choice.

Yeah, pretty much. I decided that since 2013 I will no longer let *any* attempt at lexical warfare to go without punishment. I used to let slip on people calling themselves "pro-life", but that was a mistake. You are not pro-life. You are anti-choice. You do not care about the lives of the fetuses once they go out of the womb. So I think it is not proper to call yourself "pro-life".


Quote:
I have never, ever, ever been approached by a woman who said, “Having an abortion was the best decision of my life.” Or even, “My abortion was the right thing to do and I’m ok with it.”"
Yeah, I guess your anecdotal evidence settles things once and for all.

Quote:
So there you have it, it's not just us men and our apparent valueless opinions that find issues with legalising abortion, as some will lead you to believe. Yes there is a slight consensus towards pro-choice over pro-life amongst woman
NO ONE. No one other than the person herself has any right to decide what a person does with her own body. Not other men. And Not other women.

... It's only legal because the majority of these heartless biggots (i.e. feminists) think they deserve more rights than everyone else.


Now just take a Bex(tm) and have a good lie down.

You claim a part of a woman's body ( an embryo ) deserves more rights than the woman herself.
You ridicule the inescapable trauma associated with induced miscarriage under the pretension of some self deputized righteousness.
Would you prefer the life of an unwanted child yourself? Or do you argue from the hypocritical view of one who was voluntarily raised in a gratefully and loving family?

My aunt was one of infinite examples. They aborted because it just wasn't worth raising one extra kid in the family.

It's not like people don't do that, Who_Am_I.

Yeah, I like that word "responsibility".

It's not the abortion itself that's bad. As I said, it may be necessary in many cases.

It's more the lack of responsibility that bugs me.

If they shouldn't have kids, and they got pregnant anyway without much consideration concerning the kids, that's also bothersome for me as well.

The most responsible thing you can do in case of an unwanted pregnancy is to abort.

If there's room for one more, why not give it a go?

But then again, some parents are just s**t at raising children.

Could you clarify what you mean by " it just wasn't worth raising one extra kid in the family", please?

Um ... they didn't want any more kids. Three was good enough for the husband and the wife.
