...and condemns a seriously disabled or unwanted baby to a life of hardship. |
How do you consider the baby's rights when it's life is being terminated? |
The life hasn't been terminated when the woman is mulling over all her options, her values, etc. |
A baby is not a fetus, a fetus is not an embryo. |
+100000 Maybe they can also spend their time fundraising for funeral costs of those poor babies who are incompatible with life, as well as the psychological services their parents might need after bringing a child into the world only to see her suffer and die. |
What if you have to suffer and die? Should your mother have aborted you? |
Not that poster, but personally, I would much prefer to have been aborted than to have been born a quadriplegic or locked in the hellish prison of low-functioning autism. Or into a household rife with child sexual abuse or torture. Or many other scenarios I can think of. I wouldn't bring a baby into the world if I lived in Syria right now. |
If you are a baby born without most of the brain and are deaf, blind and constantly suffer seizures and will need to live in a medical facility for your entire life because your heart is strong, then yes, you probably should have been aborted. Having witnessed this over the span of 40 years with a family member, I know how this plays out. Fortunately, technology can tell you if your baby is missing most of it's brain. Have you ever delivered a baby that had a genetic issue incompatible with life? Did you suffer for 20 weeks after the diagnosis but opt to deliver anyways? Then did you hold your baby for a few brief hours and watch her die? Then did you pay for a funeral and have to pull yourself together to get through that experience? And then did you have to quickly grieve and then go back to work and deal with all the congratulations on your new baby? I'm guessing you have never experienced that. Having watched my friend go through this, I'm quite confident that it's not something I could personally handle. You have no clue how this can impact a woman. No clue. |
OP, do you believe abortion is acceptable if the mothers life is in serious danger?
If so, then yes even you believe that the mother's rights supersede the unborn. |
What ruthless employer wouldn't allow time to grieve after the death of a loved one? Is that even legal? It shouldn't be. |
Teenage boys AND girls. 50% of the responsibility lies with the girls. If girls are equally free to choose to have sex then they are equally responsible for preventing pregnancy and STDs. |
This is a bad argument. Most people recognize that extraordinary measures are acceptable if a person's life is in serious danger. For example, they may shoot someone if you believe they are putting your live in serious danger, but not if your life isn't in danger. If someone thinks you may shoot another person if your life is in serious danger, it does not mean that person thinks you can go around shooting people at other times. |
You get your regular 6 or 8 weeks of STD medical leave if your company provides it. You don't get 12-16 weeks. |
Sorry but male contraception (condom) is the only truely effective was to stop transmission of STDs. Does not matter which partner has the STD, the penis needs covering. Men are more responsible for sheathing their organ. |
12:44 believes her friend was forced to "quickly" return to her job after the death of her child. Did that mother regret not aborting that child, 12:44? If there had been an abortion, then she would have to live with the torment of wondering, what if... We gave that baby a chance to live as long as possible? Just because we can terminate a life, doesn't mean we should. |
