I Changed My Stance On Abortion Because Of Forum Posts[W:547]


This is not so, speaking only for myself, of course. Your "faulty sword" thing doesn't really work, but I do believe that the unborn have a right to life. I don't have a desire, fierce or otherwise, to control women; what I want is for the unborn not to be killed.
 
No, me calling you out for your delusional lies about us destroys your credibility, pro-abort.

It didn't come close to qualifying as "calling me out."

It was an extremist rant that demonstrated why no one takes anti-choice radicals seriously. They're just bat**** crazy.

Then, you're probably not in the group of extremists that want to control women. For you, taking up a movement to help increase young females' self-esteem, via goal-setting, sports, etc., might be a good idea. We have some here who have not-quite-jokingly advocated the death of women who abort. Those are in a class all their own.

Pointing out that you lied and stating for a fact the reason why you lied is absolutely calling you out.

Must have hit a nerve since all you have now after your logical fallacy failed is ad hominem attacks against another poster.

I didn't not lie - I don't lie - your accusation was false and a certain sign of your radicalized thinking. Together, with your other posts that attempt to portray the idea of "choice" as something dark and deep, you expose your extremist bent.

I'm just calling it like I see it. Your failed ideology paints a clear picture.
 
Oh, my statement of fact that you made baseless accusations about us re: presumed misogyny was false?

Great, we're back to you saying we hate women just because we want to protect the human right to life against aggression.

We've established that we don't trust anything each other says or why they're saying it, I guess.
 

Humans don't really have a right to life that is absolute. If so, no killing of any human would ever be acceptable.

Self-defense justifies killing; you can assert your rights with defensive force against an attacker specifically because they have no right to be attacking you.
 
Self-defense.

Which can be claimed about the human inside a persons body as well if you wish to go there. But we also allow people to kill others in defense of property and even have the death penalty legal.

Delusional is calling a fetus a kid. It's this conflation, fetus equals child, which seems to exist only in the heads of the most extreme anti-abortion people. Like I said, most people can distinguish between aborting a 6 week old fetus and tossing a 6 week old baby off a roof. Anti-aborts cannot.

No, I don't wish to go to that absolute retardation of claiming a helpless innocent attacked you.

And it could easily be argued that a fetus attacks the woman who is carrying it. But again we justify killing other humans for more than just self defense. You can't claim that there are exceptions made that you justify but others don't have the same right to society agreed upon exceptions.
 

I don't agree with this. I call a fetus a child all the time. It is a simple matter of understanding that humanizing the fetus is an attempted emotional appeal, but so is dehumanizing the child.

Innocence is subjective. I can be killed by an innocent child with a gun. If I also have a gun and can't convince the child to put down the gun, can I kill that innocent child? If the child has a deadly disease can I kill the scared child to keep him or her from infecting 20 other people in his or her panic?
 

No, it cannot be rationally argued that a helpless and innocent human being is attacking anyone.

The fact that this even needs to be said is appalling.
 
If you kill another human for stealing something, that is killing them for your own financial benefit.

You really don't understand self defense. Usually when some tweaker breaks into your house they only want to steal your stuff. But if you get in the way you are likely to end up dead over whatever trinket they think will pay for their next fix.
So you aren't defending your trinket, you are defending your life. Get educated on this.
 

A child old enough and strong enough to hold a gun is not helpless, matter-of-fact in that situation, he's pretty dangerous. He may not be responsible for what he does since he's too young, but the fact that he's acted to hold a gun and point it at someone makes a dangerous situation and yes if it came down to it and the kid started firing, he could be justifiably killed.

Who would be responsible for the entire situation and liable for any harm the kid caused? Right, his parents. Because we hold parents responsible for the care and safety of the kids they chose to create.

Hopefully you're not so far gone that you think the scenario described is comparable to pregnancy and / or parents abdicating their responsibility by killing a helpless kid who isn't doing anything remotely wrong.

Helpless and innocent are again subjective. A 5 year old is pretty helpless and innocent when it comes to most things in life, yet they could still hurt or kill you with no intention to do so. Anyone can unintentionally cause harm to another. Do you have a right to defend yourself from unintentional harm or potential harm from another, or only from intentional harm?
 

Not how the laws work. In several states the castle doctrine allows people to kill someone for simply trying to steal something, a person who could be unarmed and otherwise no threat or little threat to you. In fact you could kill someone in some places just for trespassing. No indication of threat. What about the guy who chased down the guy trying to steal his car? The guy was running away?

The laws of some places say you can use deadly force to defend property. In fact, the military can use deadly force to defend property.

"I grow weary of this ineptitude" Please try to understand the words that are written. And then show where I do anything but support a woman having the right to choose what is best for herself and her family (present and future). Do it, dont just spew your dogma across the screen.

Correct. And unless you can post where I promoted abortion, please do not post lies.

As for advocating for abortion, that is also wrong. I advocate for women, and a right to choose regarding their pregnancies.
 

It's crazy that it has to be put into words and crazier still that people will disagree with it.
 

Yet to do that would require controlling women. The govt would do so. Would you be ok with that?
 

Yup, look at the 3 yr old in Wally World that got mom's gun in her purse and accidentally shot her.

And it's not only that individual woman, but anyone she is responsible for...her current family, elders, kids, etc that may be endangered by her loss or disability due to pregnancy. Even the loss of her income due to the pregnancy.

The claims that abortion is irresponsible are ridiculous and shortsighted (sorry, tangential).
 
Helpless and innocent are again subjective.

The whole 'innocence' thing is very common in the pro-life theme, yet they are valuing 'nothing.' The innocence of the unborn is emptiness, a vacuum. The unborn cannot act or even form intent...it's the 'innocence' of a tree or tomato that they *choose* to value :roll:
