does this also apply to men when a woman forces the fatherroll onto him lmao
Sueisright · 31-35, F
Well if you don’t want the possible chance of the father role then you need to abstain fully from sex lol@blackdude
blackdude · 31-35, M

Sueisright · 31-35, F

[quote]live is the only option. The kid wouldn't want to be murdered
Tax payers pay for it of course.[/quote]

Apperently "live" isn't the only option, since you seem pretty invested in discussing this. So there have to be more options, else it would be futile to even have a conversation.

You don't know what the kid wants... so it's better not to speak for the kid.
I also wonder why people are so keen to call it: "kid and baby" especially in the early stages of pregenancy. It's kind of a an emotional argument that doesn't really make much sense unless you want to be all emo about it.

Tax payers have to pay for it, is a totally diffrent conversation. You can have systems where tax payers don't have to pay for annything. So bringing this into it, is kinda futile for the overall conversation that is held. And next to that, with the "adoption" thing, that's ussually financed in a lot of countries too by tax-dollars. But there can also be a system where that doesn't excist. But I find it weird to bring up both things in the same argument.

Lots of men on this thread who are prolife, yet I highly doubt any are in line to adopt sed babies to ensure those children have a thriving future, and aren’t doomed 🤔 Fascinating how people are so comfortable taking the moral high ground without actually living those moral equivalences. If we developed the technology to meassure sperm conscious/ human rights I wonder how many men would appose blowjobs? 😂😉

@bijouxbroussard majority men never take responsibility for a child and they're the ones against abortion. Do you know how many children died in domestic violence or how many of them get a foster parent a year?
@JBird You're preaching to the choir.
JBird · F
@bijouxbroussard I did preach to the audience only to get threatened.
WellFrog · 56-60, M
There used to be a Planned Parenthood clinic bear my work before the State of Texas legislated the place out of existence. A couple of times a year the self-important crowd would gather in large crowds to "protest", intimidate more like.

I so wanted to walk among their numbers and ask one simple question of those who sacrificed their day to browbeat the employees and patients and parade their children about to serve their selfish purpose.

"What are you doing for the born?"
1pebbles · 56-60, F
@WellFrog good point! Put your action behind your words!
JBird · F
I agree with you. Forcefully making a woman pregnant is equal to rape. Therefore the victim have every right to terminate the pregnancy and the accused should be forced to pay every penny for the termination if the victim is not willing to have the baby.

@whynottalk abortion is not always wrong and necessary when needed if it's fatal to mother or when it's rape. Nope, if a woman ask for abortion, they definitely don't need it or don'twant to go through pregnancy.
@whynottalk I had an abortion and I have no regrets at all.
SW-User
They all care about babies until it’s out of the stomach then they don’t care unless it’s their own. They preach about putting them up for adoption or letting them have a chance yet when people do put them up for adoption they don’t want to adopt or if they do have a chance and have a bad start to life such as being poor or homeless or abused people will just walk straight past or not help them as it’s nothing to do with them they say. Most pro life people are hypocrites in my opinion unless they actually care about the child once it’s born.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@JBird I don't even know if that is the true. I don't know the guy, I've not read more then what I read out here. But I think you are just fighting an image of what he is instead of what he said.

"Forced pregnancy"? The story is talking about other people forcing you to be pregnant, not about rape or annything. The pregnancy itself isn't forced on annyone, it's just that the termination of pregnancy is taken away in a legal way.

If someone forces a woman into pregnancy, isn't that pretty much forced pregnancy? Definition of rape is forced penetration which may or may not lead to pregnancy.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@JBird Yeah, I don't know what I have lately, but my language problem in my head seems to be getting worst. Annyway, you are right to point it out, but what I meant to say was:

[i]"The story is[/i][b]N'T[/b][i] talking about other people forcing you to be pregnant, not about rape or annything. The pregnancy itself isn't forced on annyone, it's just that the termination of pregnancy is taken away in a legal way."[/i]
BlueRain · F
It someone chooses to have sex then they are responsible for the out come.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@BlueRain @pdockal
Is choosing to abort pregnancy, not a way to deal with the outcome of your choice to have sex? And isn't that also a way to take responsibility?
1pebbles · 56-60, F
@Kwek00 but the child was never given that choice.... aren’t you glad your mother chose life?
JBird · F
@1pebbles the child would only be glad if they're given birth in a safe and happy environment, loved by the parents. They don't want to be stuck in an adoption center or unsafe homes, abused and unwanted. Another reality if the abortion is denied is the death of the mother or leading her to PTSD where mother not able to look after the child, again leaving the child unwanted.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
[c=#7700B2]or if someone doesn't want to get pregnant they could always not have sex or have protected sex instead of you know killing a baby[/c]
@PlumBerries definitely your typical welfare broodmare.
PlumBerries · 31-35, F
[c=#7700B2]ohh and I forgot birth control[/c]
JBird · F
@PlumBerries she's talking about marital rape and you're just being insensitive idiot talking about birth control. Some men actually tamper with birth control so that women end up with them having a child.
I completely agree. But the same people who claim that removing a cell cluster is “murder” have no problem with the state actually killing a living breathing person who ends up in the criminal justice system, often which they entered as the result of having been an unwanted child.
@bijouxbroussard that is exactly my point.
MrGoodbar · 51-55, M
@bijouxbroussard Those that scream the loudest about these things are normally the most immoral. They hide their immorality deep in their closets and then wrap themselves in the moral high ground on an issue or two.
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
I always say, no one can tell you to keep your pregnancy unless they plan to take care of the child.
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
Abortion rates in the US are dropping and have been dropping steadily for years.

The pro life people are idiots. Maybe they should spent more time addressing the high rate of unplanned pregnancy and the high infant mortality rates in the US.

@Harriet03 Harriet ....HARRIET ! [big]HARRIET !![/big] I am on my knees waiting for your forgiveness😭
It's good to see Texans on board with this. Those of you who are on the right should take note that after Roe Vs Wade there was an enormous drop in the crime rate and you may argue correlation is not causation but personally what other cause makes sense? I mean if mothers who can't afford to raise their kids were suddenly given the option to get rid of them and those that couldn't afford the children were given other means to deal with it It would contribute much less to the crime rate because we know Crimes are committed often by the poor.. a child growing up to parents who are poor is more likely to commit crimes. Or at least get caught for them....

Causation makes intuitive sense. and the thing about arguing correlation is not causation is that those arguing it are obligated to argue some OTHER Cause.

@ISpeakTheTruth you live in a utopian dream world don’t ya?
Sueisright · 31-35, F
Couldn’t agree more with you
I lost that comment but someone said “it’s not pro life. It’s pro birth”
This can’t be more accurate.
With 13% of population in US under poverty and struggling to put food on the table, with over 5 million children suffering from severe food insecurity and with a malnutrition related mortality rate of 3.1 million per year in 0-5 age group(about 7 per minute), are we really giving these babies a good life?
Our existing programs are not working. The only thing we are doing now is to force people to have more babies. Real smart!

Here’s how I see it, if some couples want to have a bunch of kids of their own then go right ahead. But they shouldn’t tell other women what to do with their body because it’s none of their business.
SW-User
@tropicaltiger There are plenty of reasons why a woman whould end up getting an abortion, is it a hard decision to make? I would think so. But if she doesn’t have the income to raise a child, the pregnancy is putting her life in danger, if she gets pregnant from rape, etc. then who has those rights? The woman or the fetus?

And it’s Funny how you mention rights. For example, when it’s discovered that a child is gay or transgender their rights are taken away from them by people who consider themselves pro-life. Is it all of them who do this? No.

@tropicaltiger Last time I checked birth control is not 100%. So, lets say that you and your partner are extremely "responsible". He wears a condom and she is on birth control pills, and spermicide and she STILL gets pregnant?? How much control do we as humans truly have? You CAN do every single thing responsibly and STILL get pregnant. Men can and still do leave, women can and still get pregnant, even though they might not want to. But in the end, which gender has to deal with the actual physical and mental part of pregnancy and child rearing? The Woman. So, as a man, if you have a good relationship with the mother, she might hear your thoughts on it. But in the end, it is our bodies and you, as a man, should not be pushing your agenda as an absolute, because you can't physically make happen what YOU want. It ultimately lies with the female. You (men)start carrying the baby THEN you can have ultimate say.
Helloooooooo ---------in the USA we have many programs to support the mother - pre and post preggo. Also welfare programs to support the families - including general assistance - food programs - baby wellness. Job placement etc- Now the US has done its part what will the mom do ?
@Harriet03 Here we go, right on time - first of all legally speaking no religion can force you to have a baby in the USA - we also have religion freedom here - so if your religion is forcing you to have a baby (which is impossible) then CHOOSE to leave this so called religion. She is acting like she has no options and I am literally giving out many options.

There are consequences to actions so if you dont want to have babies then take precautions

@pdockal unfortunately those children are very few. There are even more number of children not adopted, being abused in adoption center. You can research and find that there are millions of children begging to be adopted and still not adopted.

I agree with you. I was adopted as a child. Not everyone has great experiences. I don’t think anyone should have the right to make these life changing decisions for someone else
1pebbles · 56-60, F
If they chose to spread their legs, pregnancy is a consequence of those actions. Please take the necessary precautions if you are not willing to deal with that outcome, that's preventable, or you could even obstaine!

@1pebbles all forms of contraception have possible failures, except hysterectomy.
Tukudo · 41-45, M
Giving birth is everyone's freedom. Apart from that society is very cunning,unfair and not comfortable to raise the kids naturally.
yep. And foster care is not an option. Most of those I know in foster care have ended up abused. Most of the time sexually.
JBird · F
No, women are just baby factories with no emotions and disposable. Men are not entitled to any liability.
wildbill83 · 36-40, M
lets just neuter all the people who think taxpayers should pay for their abortions... problem solved...
SW-User
My opinion on this is an unpopular one; 3 strikes you’re out.. state covers 3 abortions/adoptions/ foster cares , then mandatory sterilization. I also agree with Britain’s policy that limits state welfare benefits to 2 children

That said, my opinion is purely hypothetical, and I prefer to simply mind my own business
@SW-User that move is way too progressive for us lol
SW-User
@Texanfire hahaha yeah.. that’s why I don’t even bother to have this convo in real life. I do tend to vote first term pro choice, and access to contraception. 🤷🏻‍♀️ People who don’t want/can’t provide for children does not make for a better world for anyone; not the child, not the parents, and not society
Bushranger · 70-79, M
It's interesting watching this debate from the other side of the world. But I'm interested to know if the same debate is held about RU-48? From what I've seen on here, it appears that it's mainly the surgical abortions that are considered immoral, but I might be wrong.

How about, have the abortion if you want it, but don't make people that don't agree with abortions and who didnt get pregnant have to pay for it in the form of tax funded abortions.
