In the words of the famous Jedi master:
"Fear is the path to the dark side, Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."

Control your fear and your anger will subside.

I'll take this derpaderp attempt at wisdom to mean you can't or won't substantiate your views with well, anything.

I do appreciate you illustrating the projection I mentioned though, awfully kind. The views you don't want to support reek of the same fear and anger you brought up, too funny. I post that you guys do nothing but project project project, and you come right back and prove me correct. Thanks?

Hm, I find the whole talk of "killing a baby" a bit awkward in this context. The problem is that when humans think of "a baby", we tend to think of a human infant rather than what we're actually talking about. In other words, I find the wording to be rather misleading... especially since abortions tend to occur during the zygote or embryonic stage, or rather the first 11 weeks (about the entire first trimester).

In reality, the argument tends to boil down to a difference between the scientific definition of life vs. the religious definition of life.

You'd kill a child if your feels were in jeopardy?

No, I wouldn't.

But then I'm not a cherry picking social authoritarian who cheers the politics of fear and division.

I bet if I did a search on the forums about Trump's desire to bomb entire families for members supporting terror, your disagreement will just be everywhere, right? Were you similarly enraged about the civility of dropping bombs on people when you thought Saddam was able to attack us with all those WMDs?

The religious right's concern for life is hardly consistent and is therefor easy to dismiss. Kinda like preaching about class and dignity, then voting overwhelmingly for a bigoted conman and sexual predator.

Same with the left - they aren't pro-choice, they are pro-abortion.

I say to Hell with trying to sugar coat things. Let's just all say we're pro-abortion or anti-abortion.

Disgraceful post from an "elite" member.

Speak for yourself, I made my wife get pregnant 25 times just so we could abort the babies. Once you get started aborting babies, it is a damn hard habit to quit.... fun as all hell!

Except the food court stopped taking BOGO coupons.

just sadness that our society has become so callous that we can think of no better alternative than to kill an unborn child.

Ah, science and religion. So science says (as one example):

"Although life is a continuous process, fertilization is a critical landmark because, under ordinary circumstances, a new, genetically distinct human organism is thereby formed.... The combination of 23 chromosomes present in each pronucleus results in 46 chromosomes in the zygote. Thus the diploid number is restored and the embryonic genome is formed. The embryo now exists as a genetic unity."
[O'Rahilly, Ronan and M�ller, Fabiola. Human Embryology & Teratology. 2nd edition. New York: Wiley-Liss, 1996, pp. 8, 29

For Christians, it is at the conception event.

solutions are self evident with a little thought. support services for the woman during pregnancy, placement services for an unwanted child, ending incentives that reward single parenthood and having additional children, birth control subsidy for those who cannot afford it. Details of each are up for discussion but the general outline is as above.

your turn...

good luck with those, how would you fund it?

and of course, it doesnt stop after birth, so will taxes be increasing to cover things like education for unwanted children? or foster care?

youve really just scratched the surface.

no. They are prochoice. Very few people are happy that abortions happen.

Nice try, but nope. It doesn't work that way.

That would be very inaccurate. No one I know who considers themself "pro choice" WANTS wimmenz to get abortions...but they want wimmenz to have that option if they so choose. (Thus the "choice" part of pro choice)

So stupendously stupid I'm wondering if a boomer or pcgeek hijacked your account. Yikes.

not at all. The left is simply pro choice. No one likes abortion. Perhaps you should ask a woman that aborted if she was super happy with aborting her fetus? You know, this is a pretty clear opinion that you could have if you at least wanted to properly shape it into one founded on actual research and life experience, rather than defaulting to uninformed and sophomoric "both sides" assumptions.

You want to honestly lessen the frequency of legal abortions, like pretty much all humans do? Then you would fully support Planned Parenthood, which is pretty much the single entity who's mission actually does that.

The only thing I can tell from this post is that you're pro stupid and for assaulting poor innocent straw people.

Won't anyone think of the plight of the straw people?

Not that Lena Dunham is representative of all pro-choice people (though, she is a very outspoken and public advocate for it, has made herself a pro-choice figurehead, and is a self-described "abortion rights activist"), but she did say this:

http://variety.com/2016/biz/news/lena-dunham-abortion-controversy-1201946387/

"I wanted to make it really clear to her that as much as I was going out and fighting for other women’s options, I myself had never had an abortion. And I realized then that even I was carrying within myself stigma around this issue. Even I, the woman who cares as much as anybody about a woman’s right to choose, felt it was important that people know that I was unblemished in this department.

I feel so proud of them for their bravery, for their self-knowledge, and it was a really important moment for me then to realize I had internalized some of what society was throwing at us and I had to put it in the garbage. Now I can say that I still haven’t had an abortion, but I wish I had."

"My latest podcast episode was meant to tell a multifaceted story about reproductive choice in America, to explain the many reasons women do or don't choose to have children and what bodily autonomy really means," Dunham wrote in an Instagram post. "I truly hope a distasteful joke on my part won't diminish the amazing work of all the women who participated."

Dunham claimed that a "delusional girl" character, much like the one she embodies on HBO's Girls, inspired her comments. In this instance, Dunham had been reflecting on a visit she had made to a Planned Parenthood in Texas on her podcast, realized that she had internalized her own stigma against abortion by needing to let people know she "was unblemished in this department." She later added, "I can say that I still haven't had an abortion, but I wish I had."

Dunham asserts that she never meant to trivialize or make a mockery of "the emotional and physical challenges of terminating a pregnancy." Before linking out to where people can donate to abortion funds, she adds how important the issue of reproductive choice is to her.

"I take reproductive choice in America more seriously than I take literally anything else, and therefore own full responsibility for any words I speak that don't convey this truth clearly. I know plenty of people will never like a thing that leaves my lips, mea culpas or no, but this apology is for the women who have placed their trust in me. You mean everything to me."

why can you not provide your framework? I provided a serious starting point for discussion. What is yours or do you accept mine as the conceptual platform and we can begin working out the details?

They don't give fuck about a blob of cells once gone through the birth canal or been pulled out by c-section.

No more concern, no health care, no food, no education, no safe home, no caring family, no protection at all.

Didn't read the whole thread, so sorry if someone already said this.

They aren't even pro-birth. They are pro woman responsibility. In non-New-Speak they are pro-punishment of women that have sex, especially out of wedlock. Unless it is their mistress or daughter.

There are alternatives, like Birth Control methods and Education, but your types oppose them too.
So kindly STFU about sadness.

You dug deep for that one but it still doesn't support a thing the person I was responding to said. Congrats you tried to support dhphantom's stupid post and failed completely.

Ive been accepting yours as conceptual framework. Youve not been reading my posts.

The next step in your plan is funding. So line by line of your framework, expand and define limits of what youre willing to offer, and where the money is coming from.

The difference between you and I will likely be what we want offered to the young ones after theyre born.

Why would I have framework? I dont personally agree with the abortion, but Im not one to impose on a persons freedom and choice what they do with their body.

just out of curiousity, how my kids have you adopted, ans how many kids have you provided foster care for?

What do you see as the governments role in your multifaceted framework?

Except for those Christians who use in vitro and then allow the unused embryos to thaw out and die. What murderous scum these Christians are. God will have a nasty surprise for them when they find themselves burning in hell for eternity for this supreme wickedness.

Don't ever ever use Christians as a moral example. Christians are over-represented in our prisons, over-represented in hate crimes and over-represented in bigotry and discrimination. This is no secret and you can google the shit for yourself.
