If I was a professional coach…in training camp, I would have a recurring two day seminar on how to discreetly pay for your ass on the side.
My wife is pregnant with our second child, I've been to basically every appointment and while I was against abortion before having kids, it is even more nauseating to me now. We as a society should be ashamed of ourselves.
i'm agnostic, but seeing the ultrasounds definitely changes your views. late term abortion is an abomination.
Seeing our child's early ultrasounds (my wife had a VERY hard time getting pregnant and we were getting ultrasounds almost throughout the pregnancy) definitely can change your mind. Not sure if this is the proper thread to talk about it, but suffice to say, anything after a few weeks, imho, is infanticide. It is no longer a part of the mother, but a baby living inside of her, it's own DNA, its own blood, its own heart and lungs, arms, eyes, brain, etc.
we had similar issues and therefore we saw ultrasounds well before the normal. it probably wont be too long until we have the technology for a baby to survive outside a mother after a few months.
Define "a few weeks." I don't like late term abortion, but I am quite sure fetuses in the first 3 months are not people.
Also, I feel the segment of society who wants to dictate to people whether they can have an abortion should be ashamed of themselves. No one should be required to carry to term. JMO.
it's a very hard question as to timing, but after 3 months i don't think they should be legal. from 1.5-3 months is questionable IMO.
I don't think it is too much to ask for people to mind their own damn business concerning other people's bodies. Situations your thinking doesn't cover: 1) discovering the fetus has a severe defect 2) discovering the pregnancy may result in loss of life of mother and/or child 3) not discovering the pregnancy until late Forcing people to have a child when the child may not live very long and suffer, may be extremely disable, or may kill the mother and/or the baby is absolutely monstrous. I am not advocating abortion as birth control. But that isn't typically what abortion is used for and is an often-used straw man in these discussions.
1 & 2 are covered in every law on the books. when it comes to the point where the fetus can theoretically survive outside the mother, or pretty damn close to it, i think it time to stop talking about the mother and start talking about the child. there are 500 other things that we don't "mind our own business" about that are not too dissimilar.
1.3 million abortions per year are as a result of unplanned pregnancy and 50% of abortions are women under age 24. That's a strawman? Numbers came from prochoice.org by the way.
No. In Texas, one can not get an abortion even if the child is found to not have a brain after the first trimester. Again, the "this is covered" line is often used but it is bullshit. It is something reasonable people assume on the "pro-life" side, but it isn't so.

A woman terminating a single pregnancy she doesn't want constitutes using it as "birth control?" Ridiculous.
I had no idea you consider one abortion birth control. That is utterly absurd to me. This isn't about dishonesty it is about communication.
You are going to have to explain to me how getting pregnant accidentally and aborting it because you don't want or can't afford a kid is anything but. And if its not they are at worst cousins, at absolute worst.
I'm obviously against abortions unless it's a just dire or extreme case. To me, if it has a heartbeat it's a human being. I realize that science has proven the cognitive growth and all that. But when I heard my kids' heartbeats... They were children to me.
