Is it too late to abort her?

Yeah, that makes perfect sense. All rights spring from a foundation of being allowed to kill someone else to ensure your own convenience. *eye roll*

Did she really say that?

No kidding?

With a straight face?

The Left is truly psychotic.

I hate these people. Every time I hear them, I think that there can be no rational response to what they say; that you pretty much just have to beat their @$$ and tell them to STFU.

Every time this woman speaks she further erodes any form of legitimacy she may have had....emphasis on “may”.

There are conditions on "self ownership" or autonomy. For one thing, of course, there are contract obligations: you can be required to do things or provide things for someone else upon performance of a contract.

There are non-contract obligations too. You can incur obligations upon yourself by causing someone else's condition of dependency. For instance, if someone carelessly caused you to lose the use of your arms, they would, as a matter of strict moral liability, be duty-bound to pay for the surgeries or therapies or whatever to restore the use of your arms, or compensate you for the lifelong loss of your arms.

Parental obligation arises in this manner: the parents caused the child to come into existence --- in, obviously, a dependent state --- therefore they owe him or her parental support.

Nor can they invoke a "right" to abortion even if the pregnancy were caused by a non-consenting act, e.g. rape. Upon the onset of his existence, the unborn child has the same right to self-ownership, and therefore has the right not to be assaulted and killed. The developing child has the same right to simply go on living without being slain.

After the child's birth, that parent's only duty would be to arrange for somebody else to support the child, i.e. adoption.

I’ve never seen someone who hates herself more than this person.

If one knows anything about her, it’s very obvious.

I believe she will take her life one day.

Abortion is a an attack on God and a violation of the most sacred commandment.

The most basic of all human rights

What if every pregnant woman decided to exercise that "right"?

Killing a person who does not share your DNA has nothing to do with health care.

I still can’t figure out how abortion is medically necessary, let alone considered health care??

On VERY rare cases where the life of the mother is DIRECTLY threatened...an abortion might be justified....ectopic or tubal pregnancy for example...even the Catholic church recognizes RARE exceptions to the no abortion rule....

I’m actually neutral on abortion. Reason: In the case of rape, the unwilling parent has incurred no such obligation. And if it’s not rape, it’s not clear that causing a being to come to life creates any such obligation. Perhaps it does, and perhaps it doesn’t. I have been unable to prove or disprove that theory, and no one has been able to convince me one way or the other.
