I was going to stop on this conversation till you said that smug ass response at the end of your reasoning. I know what I'm talking about retard but statistically, most abortions are by irresponsible slut women who don't want to accept consequence of being a whore who sleeps around.
Your reasoning of tard babies being aborted is a very small statistic, and sure, we make fun of all types of retards here but not every retard turns out to be a lolcow. Being a tard baby doesn't give people the right to kill a human life just because they may be born with a mental illness.
Also the life of the mother being threatened is a very rare thing too.
Yes these are things that happen, but the logic of letting things happen because of some fringe reason has proven time and time again to degrade society into further degeneracy. The fringe reasoning argument is why we are having trans women competing in biological women's sports.
In the 1920s, when America was all about traditional values and the International Jew was published, abortion and the eugenics movement were very intertwined. It's how Margaret Sanger managed to get free of Comstock Laws, the laws that banned any discussion of sex or birth control.
Now, the slut thing. All sluts need to take a dick. The men who impregnate them and who toss them around like meat aren't nearly as punished for their role in creating an unwanted or poverty-stricken child. It's a pump and dump manner. And, if Guttmacher is correct, at least a third of good Catholic girls get abortions.
It isn't about tards being lolcows, it's tard babies having conditions that severely impact their quality of life. Tards that cannot eat, drink, or think on their own and who stare aimlessly into space. You expect the mother to deprive her life taking care of that child, to forgo other potential or existing healthier children, so there can be dignity in that life.
With the development of CRISPR and other genetic screening technologies, aborting defective embryos or fetuses is easier than ever. According to some, this is 'ableist'; the willful elimination of the unfit.
Once upon a time everyone had a unspoken agreement that it was the most merciful thing to do.
The 'murder' debate always relies on personhood. We may joke about spergs, welfare and how much things cost but we don't really like to talk about how severe these conditions are or how much it costs to keep them alive. Everyone has a price tag over their heads.
It interesting to compare the extremes of pro-abortion and anti-abortion, first with this George Carlin monologue.
And this quote attributed/misattributed to Ronald Reagan.

And then, we laugh of this like El Risitas.
Btw in Canada, Justin Trudeau said he stands for pro-abortion. I wonder if Justin will do a Pikachu surprising face if we said right to him "Too bad then your mom didn't aborted, we wouldn't got a lousy little runt as a prime minister now"?
What's hilarious is that when Reagan was governor, he liberalized California's abortion laws. He later said he was firmly anti abortion but that didn't stop the fact he did the one thing Repubs view as mass murder. It can be argued he did whatever he could to reverse that legacy - and the Right did become more mobilized on abortion in that decade.
This logic--the implication that killing people is good if it's for the purpose of reducing "ghetto culture"--means we should just kill all black people entirely and be done with it. Boom no more ghetto culture problem solved. Simply allowing them to abort clearly wasn't getting the trick done on its own.
Eugenics straight up. Rather than half assing it by encouraging abortion, this implies that we should simply sterilize "stupid people" and be done with it. Again, boom problem solved.
You people really don't think this stuff through, do you? Come on. You can do better.
The underlying issue here is undoubtedly race and IQ, and how both impact socioeconomic status. Naturally, ghetto culture won't be erased by abortion because it still lives in those who have many children with more than one mother. Ultimately that's a cultural issue. I wager Sanger had to confront these issues when she set up her clinics in black communities.
The harder you push liberals on abortion, the faster they reveal themselves to be eugenicists. It's amazing really. All those claims of 'my body my choice' and underneath it all they're just like 'well we can't let the nigs breed'. How accepting, how progressive.
This is in response to both replies above: abortion is, and always will be, eugenics. Around 36% of those who get them are low SES women from minority backgrounds, be they black or Hispanic, and for the former the out-of-wedlock birthrate is quite large.
Therapeutic abortion is absolutely eugenics, especially through CRISPR, and the elimination of Down Syndrome babies in Scandinavia and Europe is eugenics.
Abortion rates have declined thanks to birth control, better sex ed and family planning, but there will be a contingent that will always be based in eugenics.
I don't get one thing. If the left aborts all their tardbabies, there won't be anyone left to vote Democrat. Just proves yet again they don't understand consequences.
Don't be silly. They'll import their voters. 1.2 million illegals were caught (that we know of) just last year - that is where they're coming from.
There are no moral or ethical arguments in favor of abortion. There are bad ones, I guess you could say. Like all these people saying "well if you don't kill the children in the womb they won't have a good life." But there are no legitimate ones. There is no legitimate moral or ethical argument for why murdering a child is okay.
Again, we're going back to what is considered murder here. Is the zygote a person? Is it murder throughout all stages of development or during certain stages?
There are ethical ones via therapeutic abortion, where the quality of life is severely impacted, as well as the family's finances.
@gang weeder
The overwhelming majority of pro-life people have no issue with contraceptives (as in, measures that actually prevent conception). I'm not sure that I've ever met anyone who wanted to ban condoms, online or off. There are probably some religious nuts if you looked hard enough, but such an attitude is clearly disconnected from the topic of abortion (i.e. it wouldn't make any more sense for me to claim that all pro-abortion people are bad because some tiny proportion of them believe that infanticide is also okay).
They do
now. Many years ago they were firmly against it as they still viewed BC as an abortifacient. Certain aspects of the Catholic community continue to view contraception as a form of murder. Once BC started working personally
for them did it become fashionable, albeit they didn't want federal coverage for it.
