Just look at this twins they look so happy

I mean the Fetus never even got to laugh, eat, play and be love and people just threat there child like its food on the fridge that they dont want and get rid of it.

why not just get it adopted some people would be more happy to take care of it. its better if someone live its life with someone else who want it rather than being killed by someone who doesnt want it before it even got the chance.

Because it's not your body, and you have absolutely NO authority to force a woman to undergo such an excruciatingly painful, potentially deadly experience as labors, sure as hell note on the grounds that "baby tweens are so cute :oops: ".

What you're doing here is called an emotional distortion, and it's a logical fallacy.

Is it me or is this the only weapon pro-life advocates have against abortion?

So is an unwanted baby a parasite?

An unwanted fetus fits almost all criteria for a parasite. It might offend one, but it's there.

What definition are you using?

You kidding me? North Americans are having, like, 1.6 kids per family. =\

not all parents are not in that situation. some are filfy rich people who just doesnt want a child so they cant continue having more sex and spend all there money. and in that situation with no money or anything to support a child you still have no right to take someones life

gugler990
Of course there's some exceptions. I have never and will never support or promote using abortion as a form of birth control, that is stupid as hell, extremely expensive and likely very painful after a while. I'd rather pop a pill every day or get a tubal ligation than have my uterus scraped repeatedly. You cannot say "you have no right to take someone's life" because YOU believe life begins at conception. Not everyone believes that. I'm rather curious as to why you feel that you can dictate who as a right to what, a woman is supposed to be forced to carry an unwanted child and birth it just because YOU say so? if the fetus has rights, the mother also has rights. I don't believe a male (or any other female, for that matter) has the right to dictate whether or not somebody can or should terminate a pregnancy. The only one who should be able to make that decision is the woman carrying the child. SHE is the one who has to feed it, clothe it, raise it etc. for the rest of its' life if the father walks out of the picture or was never there in the first place. I would completely support a man wanting to make some sort of agreement with the mother of his own biological child to have her sign over all parental rights to him as soon as the child is born if she really didn't want the child but he did, but again, it's still her decision because she has to carry the child. Not him, not you, nobody but her.

That isn't always an option. Sometimes it is medically necessitated because the mother's life is at risk.

It's the reason for some, but that's beside the point. Every pregnancy takes some toll on the mother, and this is why she has every right to remove it.

I see people advocating to remove a parasitic entity from ones body and it dies since it cannot exist outside of said body.

So here is my personal plan to deal with abortion.

Illegalize Abortion.

All families who do not currently have a child must adopt at least one child, failure to do so will carry a penalty of up to 1,000,000 dollars and 10 years in jail.

The fine will help assure that the extra children who centers cannot afford to take care of, get the money to take care of it.

There are times when they inform the parents that the child will have a defects and the parents do abort that child. It's not just young people doing this. Some people feel they wouldn't be able to care or would not care properly for someone like that. Maybe they don't have the means to do so. And the notion that you could put the child into adoption; you do realize that not all children are adopted but go into foster care? What if the parents of the soon to be parent won't except it and kick their child out? Not everyone has accepting parents. I mean there could be nothing but a life of suffering for the soon to be. If this option were to be taken away what's to say people won't try to do it on their own? I mean when people couldn't find the means before isn't that why we have dumpster babies?

I'm not fond of abortion and I feel too many are using it as birth control in subsitution of contraceptives. However, I don't believe it is something that the government should be able to ban.

If only life was so simple that we could ban abortions and 'give the baby to someone who would love it their own and live happily ever after'. Unfortunately people are complex creatures, the world is overpopulated, pregnancy is both physically and emotionally demanding, everyone's situation is unique and people rightfully have the gift of choice. Cute baby vids are lovely, but……… really………..

I honestly don't understand this justification. They had sex, full-well knowing the consequences that exist if they did it without protection, or even did it with protection in the first place. They "ruined" their life because they chose to accept the responsibilities of being an adult (hopefully they are an adult when having sex) and now don't want to take on at least seeing the pregnancy to the end of term. This seems like something a child would do, the "easy way out" of responsibility if it were.

And it's their choice to take the easy way out if they want to.

I don't see why it should be yours or anyone elses choice. I also don't see any logical way to solve the problem. The parents don't want it, telling them "Tough cookies" isn't going to make them want or like the kid.

The adoption centers simply can't hold 1.4 million extra children yearly, so that's not really a magical catch all. I suppose we could go for my proposed plan. Everyone must adopt a child or face jail time and fines. Or, if you prefer, everyone must donate to adoption centers/have highly raised taxes to pay for the children.

All I can say in response is that they shouldn't have been having sex in the first place. Using abortion as retro-active birth control should not be allowed. You take part in the act or procreation, you have to deal with the consequences (if they occur). It is merely moving the timeline further back from exposure to in-utero removal.

I don't see how "rights" or "choice" comes into play here. They're kids, and they have every right to life as you or I. And honestly, I wouldn't have anything against paying more in taxes if it meant better care for foster children. That an a limit of biological children imposed on families. I personally want to adopt children in the future, and give them a chance at life other people didn't want them to have.

I don't hold a fetus in the same regard as a child. A child is a human being to me. A fetus is closer to a parasitic creature.

How is having the child born into a home thats poor, cannot feed them, and resents them, somehow going to be great for them? Also, I don't see how it's their fault if the condom or birth control failed. Thats like saying it's my fault if I die on a roller coaster because the restraints failed.

Also the taxes would not be for better care. It would be for care at all. Since 1.4 million EXTRA yearly is alot, and thats what the centers would get every year and if they have trouble taking care of it now, I can't see how they'll do it with a million more every year.

I really don't like either side of this argument. Here's my dumb idea: fund medical research to find new medical procedures that make abortions unnecessary in any instance.

I pretty much never weigh in on abortion debates because my position tends to be in the middle and thus makes both sides hate me. :P

With me it's more of a reverse - it's not that both sides hate me, it's that I hate both sides. Everyone gets on this ridiculous grandstanding, saying the most nauseating, self-righteous, appalling things - "technically, the babies are parasites," "you people are hypocrites for supporting infanticide yet opposing the death penalty," "her body, her choice," "what about the babies choice," "It's all just men trying to control women," blah blah blah blah BLAH!

So yeah, I hate it.

Fetuses are not human beings so they shouldn't be treated like one.

Not only that but it's unlikely that the eventual child would be welcomed into a loving home like those cute twins in the video.

Next time I'll be more direct. Sorry.

- And yet, a "child" by your definition acts as a parasite on its mother for many years after it is born... as it cannot survive on its own, being completely unable to fight to defend itself, find food, or even go to the bathroom without messing everywhere. The "feotus as parasite" argument is incredibly flawed, as it would require you completely deny the fact that a child requires its mother's care for many years after birth, in almost exactly the same way as it was in the uterus (merely delivered in a different manner; defence from being in the uterus, food through the umbilical cord, etc.).

- Why can't they give it up for adoption? Give it to a family that would want to provide for and care for it? Saying "it could end up in a bad home" isn't a justifiable excuse. I don't know how many times I see this argument from people who support abortion, but it is incredibly fallacious. It assumes that the home will always be a negative environment, if the abortion is to be justified. But that isn't always the case. It would be like justifying the death penaltydespite innocent people dying as a result of the system.

- More is better than what there is now. And who knows, maybe in time people will be more comfortable with adoption instead of making their own/aborting.

Here's my dumb idea: fund medical research to find new medical procedures that make abortions unnecessary in any instance.PannicAtack

That should be the ultimate goal... but as of right now, premature birth care is incredibly far off. Not to mention the technology required to remove and preserve a feotus. The thing is, as soon as this technology comes into fruition, abortion supporters are going to look like massive hypocrites when they start supporting it.
