My Mother Should Have Aborted Me (article)

Their reproductive right is to have sex with whom they please. I argue it shouldn't be their right to kill another human unless their life is in danger.

Why is the potential future of the unborn more important than the potential future of the woman?

A life is much more than just breathing.
 
Yeah I don't view that as a right. People shouldn't have the right to kill other humans.

SCOTUS decided that women have a right to have an abortion.

In order to prevent women from having abortions, many of their Constitutional rights would need to be violated.

How do you justify that?
 
I don't think she should because she is the reason it is there. It didn't just one day spawn like a mole or tumor, her actions directly led her to that predicament.

So you are just blaming her. You see the unborn as punishment for her having sex.

Your statement here, again, clearly demonstrates that you value the unborn more than women.
 
You act as if I am trying to argue that the law states that she can't have an abortion. I know what the laws state. I am making a philosophical and moral argument as to why I think the laws should be changed. Telling me "there's nothing requiring her to carry that baby to term" means you don't understand what debating is about. I am saying there should be something requiring her to carry that baby to term, I am not arguing that there currently is something.

Great, I'm good with the ethical/philosophical side too.

It would help if you would answer this basic question: why do you believe that the unborn is more entitled to a potential future than women? It requires considering the affects on individuals, their families, and society. (IMO it does anyway)

For now, it seems you think it's black and white, life or death, while in reality, IMO, life is much more than just breathing.
 
And I am making the argument that no one can force a women to have a baby she does not want. No law should force a women to give birth againist her will. It is her womb, her choice, and her decision.

Agreed, and this is another ethical point that is avoided.

How do you justify forcing a woman to remain pregnant against her will, violating her bodily sovereignty, knowing the consequences affect her entire future and might even cost her life? (This is where, again, it seems people value the unborn more)
 
Less murder of babies? Less government control? Letting "parents be parents"?

.

How do you achieve stopping abortion without 'more govt control?'
 
SO with that argument you could kill an already born infant by just letting them die...

No, at that point the state can care for the infant without violating her rights (if the state uses due process).
 
Not finishing school makes someone stupid?

I didn’t say that, did I?

Gee, if he were alive, I'm sure my Dad, who only went to grade 10, but was very intelligent, would agree with you - not.

People that don’t finish school rarely have such eloquent writing skills. It isn’t impossible, but it is highly improbable. Either she is self taught, not telling us about completing her education or not telling the truth.

No one can vote away Constitutional rights.

Didn’t people vote for abortion? Seems like that’d be biting away the right to life.

No. They did not.

Please post proof of your claim.
 
My mother should have aborted me

The statement my mother should have aborted me may shock some people, but this is how I truly feel, everyone would have been better off had I never been born.

My mum contemplated having me aborted but decided the money she would receive for my existence was worth bringing me into the world.

I was never loved nor wanted growing up, my mum could barely say my name, birthdays were non existant and love was something I did not know, pain and misery were the only things my mother ever shoe me.

My Mother Should Have Aborted Me - Mums Advice

========================================================================

Quality of life is more important than quantity. If you cannot or will not take care of a child, you should not bring one into the world.

This child should have been removed from her mother's care, but obviously wasn't.
I understand you but God wanted you to be alive : )) try enjoying your entity
 
There is nothing in there that says that "People that don’t finish school rarely have such eloquent writing skills."

It's a fairly common sense idea. Most kids who drop out of school aren't great students in general. Most kids who drop out of school have been behind ever since they entered kindergarten because they are usually the ones with crappy parents who don't give a damn about their education. So it makes perfect sense that most of them don't read, write or speak eloquently.

Most aren't all.
 
Someone (not you) ASSumed that the author of the article is lying because she dropped out yet is articulate.

No, he said it was a possibility that she's lying.

And if conservatives have their way, you'll see more and more of this. They want less government control (i.e. less child protective services, closing abortion clinics, etc.) and more of letting "parents be parents". Welcome to Trump's America now.

My girlfriend is a liberal. Sadly. She is vehemently against abortions. Why WOULDN’T you be in favor of closing abortion clinics? Abortions are a sad and depressing thing. And a horrible thing for the mother to go through. We DO need viable options for birth control, sex education, and so on. Then there are people like my cousin...who in her good conservative and healthy biological (as in can have her own child) nature...intends on adoption and foster care. Your statement is skewed by partisanship. This isn’t a conservative problem. This is a failure on the cultural level for our poor communities. Be they white or black or whatever.

And I will add in my heartless conservative response...i would gladly take funding from abortion clinics and would love to see it put into free sterilization programs for people not capable of controlling themselves Who know they don’t want kids.

How does closing abortion clinics mean "less government control"?
