I have limited tolerance for hypocrites, horseshit, and religious zealots.

The IVF thing is so telling to me - so many embryos created that will not be used, and most pro-lifers don’t seem to care at all. There is a small movement of “snowflake” pregnancies, where the bio parents, rather than destroying unwanted embryos, donate them to others who will carry and parent the child. Which is a…

Not to mention the absolutely obvious solution is to support sex education and access to birth control to prevent or seriously lessen unwanted or unplanned pregnancies which in turn cuts way down on abortion.

Wrong. You only imagine that because the truth is too difficult for you to accept: other people can have good reasons for not agreeing with you.

Uh, I could breathe on my own. I could sustain my own life with out assistance from anyone while I slept, cried, whatever. I didn’t die the minute I left my mother’s uterus. You aren’t stupid. Stop pretending you don’t know the difference between viability and care.

It seems exactly the same if the child can’t find another donor - as you say the parents have a direct responsibility for their children.  So why not have a law where if they track down the biological father of a kid who’s been adopted he can go to jail if he doesn’t give up half his liver?  Livers regenerate, and…

no, you don’t get to have it both ways: if you’re going to support the right of the state to FORCE pregnant women to have babies, then you have to pay to clothe, feed, treat, etc. those children as well.

No one chastises single mothers for not being able to make ends meet

Every abortion does not harm a human. A large percentage of pregnancies end naturally before the child is born. They harm a *potential* human, not a real one. It is banning abortion that harms *actual* humans - every banned abortion has a victim.

Like I said, if they genuinely cared about babies, they wouldn’t stop caring about them the minute they’re born, they would support healthcare reform, making healthcare more accessible and affordable, lowering maternal mortality, improving public education, improving water quality, etc. But they don’t. Until they do,…

It’s not about believing personhood begins at conception, though, because I don’t think any of them would be fine with a procedure that removes the fetus from the woman’s body but doesn’t kill it and just sees how it gets along on its own. If it were just about personhood belonging at conception and therefore people…

See, the two are very intertwined. If you believe life begins at conception, and you take away a woman’s right to her body and she is forced to continue a pregnancy she doesn’t want, than it automatically becomes a societal issue. I am saying anti-abortion is not a small government belief. But it boggles my mind that…

It’s not discourse. It’s literally the opposite. You’re not adding any news, here, champ. You’re doing that thing, “I’m just calmly explaining, why won’t you validate me.” You’re asking people to give consideration to people’s religious beliefs. That’s is not a “rational belief” against abortion as religious faith is…

Incorrect. The majority of Americans believe that abortion should be legal. More than that, “on the belief that at some point before birth, the fetus is a human” -- everyone believes this, even people who support abortion care, which is why there are medical limits on what happens once a fetus crosses into viability. 

OHHHHH, I see now. So if I’m not to be taken seriously because I insult people, can we please retcon the ENTIRE TRUMP PRESIDENCY? Thanks.

They absolutely do not, you pinhead. They view it as murder, not child abuse. Troll smarter, not harder.

You’re right. It’s 100% ok to hold personal views against abortion care and not choose abortion care for yourself. People also hold opposing views when it comes to consuming alcohol, divorce, etc. I can also imagine that if you are one of those people, abortion care is a personally painful topic to contemplate. But…

Any appeal to empathy directed at the right is a waste of time. I don’t feel that sharing these stories is a waste of time, but expecting the right to grow a sense of empathy over it is.

I haven’t had an abortion, but as someone who was brainwashed into pro-life politics as a child, when I thought I was pregnant (despite not yet having had PIV sex, thanks for nothing health teachers) in college I started researching what kind of homeopathic remedies, from herbs to “throwing myself down stairs without…

I feel there is a chance abortion could become illegal.
