To you, is abortion an option in case of an unwanted accidental pregnancy?

@sladejr how about a society taking care of its people....so they have the basic modern resources and safety to bring up a child ?

What a novel idea

@OogieBoogie so there's not enough welfare and freebies already?

You are trying to extort society for a free ride using a baby's life. That is beyond ghastly

@sladejr No.... there isnt enough.
Not for housing,
decent wages,
an actual functioning health system,
education
Disabilty support
....let alone safe streets for kids to grow up in.

Are you telling me that a society has no obligation to fulfil basic humanitarian rights ?

@NativePortlander1970 Again, walk in a woman’s shoes before you spout statistics.

We will not agree on this.

@Pinkstarburst
A lot of groups are losing their rights. Of course when it is immigrants, no one seems to care. Or LGBT, it's okay because lawmakers are "protecting the children". Maybe the same reason they want to outlaw abortion. "The powers" already know they can revoke rights in a heartbeat.

Yeah there are rare cases when pregnancy was involuntary OR it would result in mortality.
But we all know that most abortions happen (at least in the free world) because someone was careless in the bedroom.

My opinion on abortion - People should be allowed to have them if they want. It is them who have to live with their choice. We all know it is wrong to abort. Some people are just better at BS'ing themselves.

@bijouxbroussard BEST ANSWER

@nedkelly thats horrible. I am sorry to hear that mate

@Torsten thank you

@Torsten what about the millions of men who tell her to deal with it and take off. Still accountable?

@Matt85 Please do not bring a fairy tale into this.

@LordShadowfire let's take a deep breath for a moment. The original question was about support for abortions, not laws regarding them or the effects of specific details. @Matt85 made it clear he doesn't take abortions lightly but does not want pregnancies to cause any harm due to bans. That's his answer. He made no comments on whether he supports the bans in their current form and he doesn't have to, because that's beyond the original topic.

@NerdyPotato I didn't hear that. I heard him say he doesn't want to talk about it because it happens in a minority of cases.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Thank you for understanding the point I was trying to make. 🙏🏽

@ABCDEF7 Rape is more than an "unfortunate event"—it an assault by one person against another, with life-altering consequences, both physical and emotional. To imply that those consequences are the woman’s fault is rather insensitive.

@bijouxbroussard - I completely agree.


- I never said so or implied like that. If you misunderstood me, please correct yourself.

@KingofBones1 But nobody ever mentions the father, doesn't he have rights also?

@fanuc2013 yes but not to force a woman to bear kids. Find one who's agreeable

@sladejr It is isnt it?
Wouldn't you'd think men would be more considerate, and think of the potential life long repercussions 🤷

@OogieBoogie This is beyond morally obtuse. You are trying to blame a 3rd party for someone else killing a baby.

You sound like you'd be a perfect twisted Soros DA

@sladejr 😏😉

@CrazyMusicLover Yep, just suck it up with a vacuum like a bug before it gets too big 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

@NativePortlander1970 Exactly. Before it takes any recognizable form.

@Mirage perhaps substituting unintentional is more appropriate. Not all sec is intended to produce a pregnancy. Sex can be the most beautiful, ultimate form of love.

Almost all, I use the almost to prevent arguments, types of contraceptives have a risk of failure. Alternatives mentioned are sort of "cop outs," such as the morning after pill, or such contraceptives like IDs, which both work by preventing a fertilized egg from implanting in a uterus.

@samueltyler2 I wasn't asking.

@CountScrofula which birth control pill are you on?
