Funny not religious. I also think that quality of life decisions should extend beyond the physical (that is, assisted suicide should not be limited to those who are on a ventilator, for example). Currently, we are not allowed to make life or death decisions if we otherwise appear fine to people. 🤷♀️ |

But an infant is human and can’t give consent. |
People are forced out of the military all the time for not complying. They have these things called orders. |

OP of this thread here and the forced birthers have amply proven the fatuousness of their arguments, basically arguing how many angels can dance on the head of a pin but missing the actual point which is:
You’re overjoyed to punish women. Like you’re clearly giddy about it. The hateful politics of forced birtherism - and yes, it has its roots in the patriarchy and organized, conservative religion - exist to punish women for existing, but especially to punish women for imagining that they should have some say what happens to their body. Sepsis wards will be back. Children will be left motherless. Women will be maimed and made sterile and families who wanted to have more children will be broken. This is the real deal, not whether or not a zygote is a human. The state cannot even compel someone to donate blood, yet here it is, compelling women to donate their body and life to a state they don’t want. If you say, “well, they chose to have sex!” I’m willing to play along in your Pollyanna world in which women and girls are always granted bodily autonomy (although your forced birth politics prove that they are not). It doesn’t matter. Humans get to say what happens to their bodies, especially something as life altering as pregnancy and birth. Carry on with your cruelty though, but be aware that the game is up. No one believes you give a rat’s about life anymore. You just hate women. |
You can’t build a house without blueprints but blueprints are not the same as the house itself. Please try to be logical. The first cell of an embryo is created by the mother. It is not separate from the mother mo matter how much you want women to be mere baby factories. |

It’s simple. You’d never consider letting a 14-24 year old poor single woman adopt a child, so why on earth would you think it’s acceptable to force her to give birth to one?
Additionally, if an underage person is to be forced to be a parent, they should be granted the rights of an adult parent so they can find enjoyment in parenthood. In other words, a 16 year old mother should be allowed to rent a car, rent a hotel room and fly to Disney world with no chaperone if she can manage to afford to do so. Parents are mature and adult-like. |
Just like 18yo should be able to smoke and drink without parental consent since they are old enough to die for their country in the military. |

You can't argue with hate, people. You can't use logical arguments and biological facts against religious nutjobs and women-haters.
The time for civil discussion of this forced birth issue is over. This time we put them on the defensive, instead of trying to explain logic, biology and misogyny to them. The next time some forced birther tries to bring this up, I'm just going to say, "Go join the Taliban if you hate women so much." |
Yes, they should. |
Unless he was raped, the father consented to depositing his cells in a place where a zygote might grow. So he voluntarily gave someone his cells, yes. Both parties must accept responsibility for any consequences that may arise from that. For a person with a uterus, that could be pregnancy, miscarriage, or having to obtain an abortion. |
