Absolutely. People who don't want children shouldn't have children. It would be terrible being raised by a person who considered you unwanted.

... and that, alone, is enough of a reason to get an abortion. All this made-up nonsense about "KiLlInG a BaBy111" is just ... nonsense. There is no baby yet, so you cannot harm one, eh? Simple as that. No harm done at all, aside from guilt-tripping the nonmother with stupid lies. Not just exaggerations - they have some truth to them - but straight up lies, either they believe them because they're dumb, or they know that they are taking part in mailicious activity and just don't care if they have to lie further, more, continued to support their lies.

For real. You have to get permission to harvest organs from a dead person, so you should also need permission to have a woman reenact the movie Alien. Not saying it like that to be mean, but there's a lot that can go wrong and if someone doesn't want to risk her life then that's fine. Same with forgoing parenthood. That's 18+ years of financial and emotional commitment.

Ever heard of birth control? Don't want a baby? Then use it or keep your legs together.

There's a possibility that I was conceived during a crime. This has given me a new topic to discuss during therapy. 😶‍🌫️

Same thing is happening in Poland for the last 2 years. Some women already Lost their lifes.

This happened in Ireland recently, the mother died and the case was instrumental in getting Irish law changed to permit abortion

I hate the whole "irresponsible women" argument, though. As far as I know, human women don't self-impregnate. Also, sometimes stuff just goes sideways, even when precautions are taken.

Except when the taxpayers unwillingly foot the bill for their "right to choose" (code for "abort for any reason whatsoever").

PREACH!

Islm allows abortion if the pregnancy poses significant threat to the mother's life. But then again there are different groups with each of their own beliefs. Depends on where you live

Also in situations where a woman doesn't want to have a baby.

Because both are a woman's choice and not yours.

Because it's easier to shout out the usual misinformation and clichés than to take three steps back and honestly assess the situation.

Why would we? A woman's body is her own, not something to discuss.

Because 💲💲💲💲💲💲💲

All medically necessary abortions are elective. Non elective abortions are called miscarriages. It’s the way that about 3/4 off all pregnancies end

Heart donors have to consent to being a donor. Women can be forced to carry a child. Dead people have more bodily autonomy than women.

I don't care if they have brain activity. Its a woman's choice to handle her body and life how she wants. If she regrets it after the fact or has a party, that is her prerogative. the fascists in government have no say over this in my opinion.

@teebteeb if another individual without your consent was to attach themselves to you, make demands on your body and ultimately irrevocably change it, cause pain and discomfort for 9 months, and then put you through excruciating pain and significant risk of serious injury or death for several hours or even days, disrupt your life for that time,, and incur costs that are impoverishing, yes you would be entitled to take the necessary steps to prevent that, even if it resulted in the death of that individual (it wouldn’t be murder, as even if you found a willing prosecutor no court would convict). Yes if I am doing the above to you you are perfectly at liberty to take the necessary action to prevent me doing that, even if it results in my death. But no one’s doing that to you. Are they? Soo why do you want to murder anyone?

I hope that KARMA gets those protesters!

They're also fine with little Timmy starving.

Sorry, but no. Miscarriage is also called "spontaneous abortion." Intentional termination of a pregnancy is "induced abortion," and termination of a tubal ectopic pregnancy may be called "tubal abortion." (Also, a heartbeat can be detected in some ectopic pregnancies. By your definition of "it stops the beating heart of the fetus," terminating such a pregnancy is abortion.) The D&C you're talking about here is a cleanup procedure to remove remaining tissue after miscarriage. It's also done after abortion.

Incorrect.

So you are all for women's rights being taken away by elderly while men eh?

@Veronica - For rape and incest victims too? Also, 61% of Americans believe it should be legal in all or most cases. 61% of Americans say abortion should be legal | Pew Research Center https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/06/13/about-six-in-ten-americans-say-abortion-should-be-legal-in-all-or-most-cases-2/

Why are you lying?

Ma'am you need to check your USA facts. There are laws passed in several states now that do not allow abortions in all of these circumstances. All of them. They do not allow any abortion for any reason except that the fetus has no heartbeat. A politician in Idaho said the life of the "baby" always outweighs the mother.

The child is half his. People like to pretend the man has no say, but the child is made up of half if his DNA. He should get some say in it. But if we're gonna say a man shouldn't have any say, then we should agree that if a man doesn't want to provide child support, he shouldn't be forced into it, right? Or are you going to say, well, it's his child too, he should pay to help the woman.
