(16,232 posts)so I'll politely tell you that calling someone "trollish" is not really appropriate behaviour. If you really think I am, then alert MIRT, but I think you would look rather foolish given my l ong history and post count.
YOU were the one who said you "opposed abortion" except maybe sometimes. I was trying to get you to clarify. Those "convoluted scenarios" happen every day. So not so "convoluted, actually.
Your definition of life is a complete set of DNA? So the MOMENT of conception is life to you? So I guess you oppose most forms of birth control. Or maybe ANY form of birth control which would prohibit those two sets of DNA becoming "complete".
If a woman has a spontaneous abortion (miscarriage) is she guilty in your opinion? Are you going to imprison any pregnant woman to ensure her behaviour does nothing to "harm" that life? Oh wait, you don't really KNOW if a woman (of child-bearing years) is pregnant so maybe just lock them all up. You know, just in case. For that matter, little girls will grow up to be child-bearers to lock them up, too. Just to make sure they're good little baby-makers. I guess that leaves just the "old women" free. Of course after a lifetime of enforced imprisonment, they probably wouldn't be able to function on their own in society so may as well keep them as well.
There you have it folks. The on-going subjugation of women.
You do not have the right to make the decision for anyone else so it doesn't really matter what YOU "believe". You have NO idea what goes into that decision. You have NO concept of what it's like to be raped or the victim of incest. Being FORCED to carry that baby to term? All those unwanted babies that languish in the foster system or group homes. Unless you're white (or a little Chinese girl0 and not impaired in any way. Or worse, unwanted and kept to live a life of abuse and poverty and degradation and devoid of love. Wow. Some compassionate pro-lifer you are.
Being pro-choice does not mean a person isn't pro-life. Just like being "anti-abortion" doesn't mean (most of them) are remotely PRO-life - they're merely "pro-unborn" & the hell with them after they get here.
If you're anti-abortion, don't have one.
