[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going to go ahead and guess that the bodily rights of the unborn babies (i.e., the right to actually keep their body) are not going to be given much consideration in this thread.[/quote]

A fetus is not an "unborn baby."

Why does that matter?  You can call it whatever you want.  A baby is not a scientific term.  A fetus, which is the scientific term, is a human life at an early stage.  People in favor of abortion simply don't like to hear it called a "baby" because it makes it more emotional for them.

Also, if you want to argue semantics (I don't see how it changes anything), I just looked up the definition of "baby" and its says "very young child" or "a very young mammal."  Seems to fit a fetus, which is unquestionably a very young child or mammal.[/quote]

Most people know there is a nuanced gradation of human development from zygote to full-term newborn and beyond. And realize that human reproduction has always been fraught, with up to 3/4ths of conceptions never ever making it to term. Mother nature obviously does not treat human conceptions as sacred.

Most intentional abortions happen before 12 weeks and are done medically.  You want to hold women and girls hostage for 9 months to force them to gestate because you believe a zygote has more rights than a woman or girl who has all sorts of reasons not bringing a child into this world at that moment.[/quote]
Forced birthers don’t believe that women are people, not really. We’re a quasi kind of person, suitable only for reproduction and waiting on the menfolk and that’s why we need to be under their benevolent control in the smooth minds of Republicans.

I hope no one takes the bait that the GOP is dangling, that “both sides” are equally bad. Every day there’s a new thread about how someone “just can’t support Biden anymore” as if they were ever going to be a Biden supporter, and every day, across the internet, you can find Republicans pretending that a vote for Biden is equally as bad as a vote for Trump. Nader, Nader, Sanders/Stein. If people fall for that garbage again, women will not have the right to bodily autonomy across the country.

Vote Democratic. [/quote]
