A fetus is not the same thing as a whole-ass kid.
How? How are they different? How are they different in any way that fundamentally matters? A fetus is no more different from a newborn infant than an infant is from an adult human. They are just different stages of human development. If you take a blood test from a fetus, it would tell you that it was a human being. Do it to an infant, the test would not change, do it to an adult, the test would not change.
Unless you think children are tiny blobs incapable of any awareness or thoughts parasiticaly attached to the body of someone else.
A baby lacks any real form of self-awareness. A newborn is no more capable of thought than a fetus. Is it okay to kill them? And, Jesus Christ, a baby is NOT A PARASITE. First, you use the word consent nonsensically, now you use the word parasitical incorrectly. Parasitism refers to "
a symbiotic relationship between species, where one organism, the parasite, lives on or inside another organism, the host, causing it some harm, and is adapted structurally to this way of life". A baby, by definition, cannot be a parasite to the mother's body. It is a natural part of human development. The mother's body is literally made to carry it to term. A parasite is a separate species of creature that invades a host's body and lives off of it in harmful way, or lives off of a host by some other harmful means. That is SCIENCE. According to SCIENCE, a baby cannot be a parasite.
Though fun fact, the suicide rate for former foster kids and other kids from broken homes is high AF.
Irrelevant to whether or not murder should be legal. You can't know if any particular child facing abortion will become suicidal. You cannot know the child's future, we've been over this.
Nothing good would happen to anyone if I was forced to gestate and birth the spawn of a rapist (interesting that the hypothetical rape spawn is a he
). I can't imagine not only being raped, but then forced to have a fucking thing from that rape destroying your body for months and potentially even killing you. Fuck that. Kill it with fire.
A) We aren't talking about rape and specifically have not talked about rape, and when rape was mentioned, I specifically singled it out as a special case, because it is, and B) Most pro-life people are willing to accept abortion in cases of rape, making this a moot point.
Powerlevel but I was supposedly a wanted, planned pregnancy and I still think I should've been aborted because my parents weren't capable of properly caring for kids. I refuse to make the same mistake.
That is an extremely...sad, depressing way of viewing yourself and your life.
Abrahamic religions at least feature a metric fuckton of baby killing. Like that's another thing that baffles me about prolifers, most of them are fundies for a religion whose texts say nothing against abortion and feature a diety that goes on baby killing sprees every time he gets a wild hair up his ass.
God's ability to take life is based on the fact that he's man's Creator, and master, effectively, giving him ultimate providence over life and death. Pro-life people recognize that God has the ultimate power over life and death, and mankind does not have the right to snuff out the life of other humans, hence why Christians oppose abortion, murder and (in many cases) the death penalty. And the Christian faith clearly teaches that murdering another human is wrong. Extrapolate that to seeing babies and fetuses as human, and, well, just connect the dots.
Perhaps we should harvest organs from prolifers until they understand what bodily autonomy is and why it's important.
Body autonomy is not the issue here. The issue is whether or not the fetus is a human being, with the same rights as other humans. In that case, it also has body autonomy, and the same rights as the mother otherwise.
I mean, it's no worse than forcing little girls to gestate chomo fetuses
Nobody wants to force little girls to do anything. As I said, most pro-life people support abortion in cases of rape or incest, which this would for sure count.
