I knew that would come up sooner or later. No, I am as diametrically opposed to abortion as I am against the War on XYZ. It’s one of the few areas I believe needs to be corrected in the (L) platform.
Man and Women have as much Right to do as they wish to/with each other (sex) until the consequences of those actions (pregnancy).
Once that egg and sperm merge, that new entity is unique in this World. It’s DNA is not mother, not father. No longer it is it the female’s body to do as she wish; she then becomes the host of that entity/zygote/baby/child. (My favorite analogy is that of host and parasite...horrible to think, but it does fall within the definition).
Now, if that same unique being is non-viable on its own, that is one thing, but, if anything, I think the (L) misses in this point: Carrying to term and birthing a new human being IS the consequences of sex (not the only possible, but that is what the process is designed to do).
Else, as we have today: an unfair and unjust system.
- No consequences for the female for their actions (most at the economic deprivation of other Citizens = welfare/etc.)
- Economic slavery of the male if the female wishes to carry to term, regardless of his wishes
- Destruction of the child, regardless of the males wishes
Hopefully, that lays it out well enough. Freedom with consequences. Simple as that. Now, back to the topic of discussion.
I believe you’re only saying that about abortion because of the site rules. IOW, I think you’re lying. Also, is smoking or drinking at all while pregnant then child abuse?
