I don't understand why conservatives think all 12 year olds should be made to deliver their rapists babies. I think it's because they can't stand the thought of females having control over their own bodies that they have to trick themselves into denial that a 12 year old is just as much a baby as a week old embryo. |
After the point of viability, yes. And that was the standard that Roe set. We'd all like to return to that, please. |
Would you be ok banning abortions without defects, rape, risk to mother? Ban them from day 1 of pregnancy. |
Why is the point of viability relevant? |
Define day 1 of pregnancy. |
Because that is when the fetus is no longer dependent on the body of the woman who is gestating it. |
When the egg implants to the wall. So technically that’s day 3 or whatever. I guess I’m a progressive. |
The fetus is dependent on the body of the mother until birth. |
Yes and so she can request birth any time after the point of viability. Don't you agree? |
Well that's pretty retrograde in fact. Yikes. You sound controlling. Do you realize well more than half of fertilized eggs never make it to a live baby? Because nature doesn't impart any sacredness to these early conceptions. |
That’s news to me. A doctor will do an elective induction at 5.5 months? |
Well there would be no need for abortion in those cases, so what’s your point? |
Why are YOU imparting sacredness to a 4 day old fertilized egg, valuing it over the life of the person who does not want it attached to her uterine wall? |
It’s a life. Simple as that. Do women bear not responsibility to take simple steps to avoid getting pregnant if they don’t want to be pregnant? |
Do you believe in heaven? |
