What is it with you Dopers? NOW it's a LIFE?

I really, really hope that you are being sarcastic. If not, you have swallowed the anti-choice hype hook, line and sinker.

Just in case you are serious, I am pro-choice, but I am personally of the opinion that if the baby can survive outside the womb then it should be delivered. Of course this would mean that a woman who is six months pregnant has to decide between carrying to term or induced labor. Then someone has to pay for the care of the child, but I’m guessing that someone would.
I would never support aborting an eight or nine month old fetus. I know it’s a fine line, but that’s what I believe. In other words, you are wrong.

He’s being sarcastic. You can trust the Giraffe. He’s good people.

He’s also got a prehensile tongue.

No, I was being sarcastic. I think anything after 6cm is wrong and should be illegal.

:wink:

Exceptionally well stated!!!

You’re in the right, OP, but the people you’re referring to are too far gone to be convinced otherwise.

What is the OP right about? Don’t be coy. Enlighten us.

Abbie, I’ve told you before. Nobody likes abortion. It’s not what pro choice is about. The pregnant girl in question made her choice. She’s keeping her child. Get off the sanctimonious judgemental kick, already.

Because the choice has already been made. Pro-Choice does not mean “Pro-Abortion” where they would continue to argue the pregnancy should be terminated even if the woman wants to have the baby. They are taking her decision to keep the baby as a final decision and moving forward from there.

Enjoy,

No, they’ve got us, Diogenes. It’s time to finally admit it: we all know abortion is murder, but we don’t care because we like murdering children. We pretend that a two-week old fetus is just a clump of cells, but that’s just something we say to give our child-murdering fetish a veneer of respectability.

Our ultimate goal is to make it legal to kill anyone under 18, but we’re not quite there yet. First we have to enact mandatory homosexuality in our public schools.

Pro-life liberal here (one of 3). I have absolutely no idea where the OP possibly has a leg to stand on. Maybe you could be a tad more specific than your patheticly vague drive-by.

No, because I also don’t support voting rights for three year olds; I don’t consider voting amongst the “full spectrum of right we grant human beings in this country.”

I don’t agree that there is a period after conception but prior to birth at which the embryo/fetus is not a person.

And I respect your view as well, even though - obviously - I see things differently.

Great! I know plenty of 15-year abortions I’d like to see done. Teenagers are really really difficult to deal with at times! :smiley:

He doesn’t. In addition, he’s a one trick pony.
prisoner6655321, I admit to being a little single minded, but do you EVER start threads about anything else?

Oh, my bad, sorry. My sarcasmo-meter must be out of whack today.

We have no legal excuse to kill children. We’re going to have to succeed in getting private school prayer considered a death-penalty offense. That’ll be a start. Get that yucky God out of our institutions of evolutionary brainwashing.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go drink the blood of a goat.

Bit ignorant on how to search for threads by a poster, or are you purposely manipulating people just to disregard what I say?

Hardly a one trick pony. I discuss all kinds of things.

And I’ve noticed that all anyone is discussing is the OP and not the later more thorough explanation 3 posts later. Hey! How about this for an idea and oh say a RULE? Read the whole thread (and the links posted in it) before you post about something that could have already been answered!

Anyone care to explain why in one case sex=responsibility and in another case sex=/=responsibility?

We don’t need any help to do that.

I have enough respect for most people here to know damn well I’m not able to manipulate any of them. But the fact is, you keep coming back to this subject, over and over. Make your point, already. Quit tap dancing around the subject and just come out and say what you fucking mean.

kaylas dad responded succinctly and pretty much on the money. Your pitting is being ripped to shreds because it’s a stupid, baseless rant. Welcome to the Pit. Enjoy your stay.

This has been explained also. Try reading the entire thread. Pro choice does not equal irresponsible. Please see Jenaroph’s post.

Trying to duck one’s responsibility (and yes, deciding to have sex infers a certain responsibility on the person having it) by “signing away my rights” is reprehensible to say the least. Sorry to burst your narrow minded, misogynistic, god fearing little bubble. Pro choice is ALL about repsonsibility.

And my Uncle Ben told me that with great sex comes great responsibility.

Some pro-choicers see it as a potential life, and are against abortion morally, but believe it needs to be protected legally. So there’s another reason you can’t assume that pro-choice people think - whatever you think they think about responsibility.

Man, I could never look at Aunt May the same way after that…

Gee, the sex I had with your Aunt May was lousy. I thought I was responsible for its low quality but I’m glad to see Ben doesn’t think so. :smiley:
