@hector, But vegetables are life too?

Face it, the sustainability of an organism like us requires the use of other living organisms.

We had this discussion in my government class and it got very intense. We had to choose sides strictly on agreeing or disagreeing. No grey area, Pro life or Pro choice. Anyway one girl didn’t move and the teacher asked for her opinion. She said “PRO ABORTION” and my teacher said, don’t you mean pro choice?
She responded no, PRO ABORTION, I believe the worlds already way too populated and everyone should get it. The teacher was speechless and all I could say was holy shit.

Really tho it should totally be up to the female, whatever’s growing in their belly is their responsibility and their choice whatever it maybe.

@hector, I don’t understand what this means but I’m curious. Maybe you could tell us more?

What about abolishing the death penalty? Ive met alot of people who are pro choice and fine with abortion but outright express their views about how negative and bad and vile capital punishment is.

@grantgodfrey7, That is pretty funny. A woman ISN’T TIED DOWN? You’ve got to be kidding!!!!! Women have to bear the child and raise it and pay some of the costs of that raising and do a lot of the day to day things men never even think of. So I think it is pretty evenly split.

I was thinking last night that it would be a lot simpler if people who have sex could talk to each other before doing so and find out what the other person thinks about the nature of choice. That is, if the man definitely does not want to help raise a child or is against abortion, the woman should know that. Likewise, women should tell men if she is pro or against abortion. Unfortunately, many people fall into the sack without thinking because of raging hormones.

Many men respond as if it is only single women who get abortions, but married women do, too–with their husband’s blessings. Not all birth control works and people are fallible. For many, it is better to be able to care for their existing children rather than having another one. Poverty makes people make tough choices.

@epath, I think you misunderstood my point… I meant women aren’t tied down by sex because they can choose to abort the baby. Men are tied down by sex; they have zero choice in anything (not saying they should have a choice in abortion, but honestly I don’t believe the woman should either except maybe in very rare cases).

@grantgodfrey7, You have a bad opinion of women, frankly. Many women don’t just abort a baby without asking the man. If men are not willing to take on responsibilities, women are more likely to abort a fetus.

@epath, Do I? I believe men and women are equal; I apologize if that offends you.

@grantgodfrey7, No, but you seem to believe that women will abort a fetus with no imput from men. That’s as bad as saying all men are deadbeat dads.

@epath, Some women do; some do not.

When I said men do not have a choice, I meant legally. Of course personally they will in some cases, but legally they do not. I think that’s where the confusion lies in our debate.

I’m merely pointing out the legal double standard here. If a man gets a girl pregnant, he is forced to face the consequences. If a woman gets pregnant, she isn’t. I’m not implying anything else.

I am personally pro abortion. Given the thought that craploads of people and children alike(not saying children arent people) die by other means than nature all the time. I dont see how we feel so special to save some persons cell ball(for those pro conceptionists) yet so willing to murder their neighbor over petty life squabbles( religion, racisim, etc..)
But hey I’m just a teenager and as all the adults around me say, my opinion doesnt matter.

I don’t know about you guys, but when I was in my university’s pre-med program, the 7 characteristics of life got drilled into our heads- even in hs bio I’m sure kids learn this. Life is life if it has cells, movement, reproduction, adaptation, growth, metabolism,and irritability. I’m sure the fetus has all of these so.. at least that’s why I believe that life begins at the moment of conception, at least scientifically speaking.
I am also pro-life because we don’t exist longer than we do exist (as far as we know) as cognitive beings and it is a gift, at least from where I am standing. It’s crazy for me to think that out of all of the ways that the matter that formed to be me, could exist, I turned out to be a human being. So, this fetus is being given the same opportunity to be a thinking being. I’m sure that some people may think life is a curse, but from the way that I see it, they got to do so because they were given the opportunity to live.
