Is abortion still about eugenics?

When did the rationale about abortion change from eugenics to a woman's right to choose? Is the Negro Project really over or did it just morph into something more palatable? Abortion is abortion. Does its status as right or wrong depend unpon the rationale justifying its use? Is it right for China to fine tune its population through abortion? What can be done about the surplus of Chinese men due to preference among Chinese to abort baby girls?

Should a man have any rights in the abortion decision?

Just curious about these issues.

Ronald Reagan- seems like all those for pro abortion, have already been born!..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout One of Regan's speech writers was Peggy Noonan. She's one of my favorite political commentators of all time. I wonder if Peggy wrote that?

To answer the first question, when people increasingly demanded not to be subjected to moral standards imposed by a religion they themselves don't follow.

Abortion is to eugenics what a bidet is to snorkeling, or vaccination is to the holocaust, to use some other idiotic comparison the right use(d?) in their delusional everyday communications.

@Elessar Nice try.

Margaret Sanger set the bar for reducing the number of undesirables. Abortion is still about this. Among blacks the most dangerous place for a black person is in his mother's womb.

There is a middle position that is pragmatic. I support that women do get pregnant when they were really trying not to, and I oppose the government's hand in forcing her to carry it to term. I also accept that there is a point where the baby can live outside the womb and there is a difference between ending a pregnancy and ending a life. There is that middle ground where we can help women that don't want to become mothers yet, but also protect the unborn.

So, does my stance piss you off, or does it make sense?

@IronHamster Thank you for your thoughtful reply.

@IronHamster A certain kind of irony exists in your comment as you are not allowing them to remove themselves, but continue your nonsense.

@IronHamster We deplorables have to stick up for the "undesirables". Nobody else will.
I don’t recall abortion ever being for that reason. So I’m going to go with a meaning changing over time, which there is nothing wrong with that. Something that could have had a negative beginning, doesn’t still need to carry a negative emotion when the procedure is logically beneficial. It’s normal for a species to fine tune which offspring continues to live. Of course the rationale justifies it’s use because intention is what’s most important.

China has a culture issue, not an abortion issue. If that is your problem, push for society to value women more. Don’t minimize our rights to control our own body to push some pro-life narrative.

No, they are not the ones who are expected to always care for that baby no matter what. Society puts a lot more pressure on women and mothers, than they do men. It’s also not their body that is going to be permanently changed or damaged.

@666Maggotz The feds have relegated the decision to the states where it belongs. So the feds, technically, are not involved now. Yet there is the woke uproar. How strange.
SW-User
@irishmolly72 Why does it belong there though? It's an individual choice, or at least my country has the respect to understand?
@irishmolly72 the government, whether it be state or federal, should NEVER be involved in our life decisions. This issue is between a woman and her doctor- not the government.

If a man is in a loving relationship with a woman and the woman is considering a termination then I think it's totally important to have her man involved in the entire process. Whether or not the man has the 'right' to object is another story. Same as with pregnancy - women who reject and shut our their man during pregnancy (and birthing) or the process of considering to end one which are intrinsicly inter-connected are grossly disrespecting the love of their partner (which probably means the woman really doesn't love her partner at all).

When did the rationale about abortion change from eugenics to a woman's right to choose?
It didn't, those are two separate things, a woman (or more likely, a couple) has the right to choose to terminate a pregnancy if after prenatal screening they find a big probability that the baby will be born with certain unwanted conditions. I can't speak for all countries obviously, but I know for a fact in my country you can do it up until the 25th week or in some cases without even a time limit.
Is it right for China to fine tune its population through abortion? What can be done about the surplus of Chinese men due to preference among Chinese to abort baby girls?
That being said, I have no idea what the law in China is about this, but I think in most countries they don't allow this, abortion is usually allowed until the 1st trimester without questioning the reason and after that, it's allowed on certain conditions.
What can be done about the surplus... not much really, they have to realize on their own how sexism and misogyny ended up being bad for their society and live with their decisions now.
Should a man have any rights in the abortion decision?
I don't see the reason or how that could even practically happen. Like let's say a woman wants an abortion and a man doesn't, what's going to happen? Take the case to court? Or the opposite, a man forcing a woman to have an abortion. Just imagine how that would play out.
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@irishmolly72 wait I'm not sure how the conversation went there. Do you mind explaining?
irishmolly72 · 56-60, F
@HannibalAteMeOut The decision about abortion belongs to the states, not the central government, but that is where the Cultural Marxists want it.
HannibalAteMeOut · 22-25, F
@irishmolly72 oh okay. I'm not from the USA so I wasn't thinking about it at all when I gave my answers. It wasn't in the topic anyway, so excuse my confusion. I guess that's where the conversation ends for me.
If a guy wants to take care of a baby, and the woman (because only women can get prego) wants to abort that same baby, then the guy should be able to have a say and take care of his child. Men tend to get left out of the whole process and it is complete bullshit!

I personally know a guy that would make a fantastic father... if he were given the chance. Instead, he spends his time busting his ass and wondering where his child is at and if they are doing OK.😢

If everyone is being realistic and honest, the decision was made as soon as two people decided to have intercourse. We all know where babies come from, so even if you use protection, and you decide to go for it, there was a decision made to take that chance.

If anyone disagrees with me, feel free to block me.
Right because one person having a couple garbage ideas decades ago magically makes conspiracy theories true. 🤦‍♂️
@SW-User It is fun to poke fun at these fools though.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I have three words for you: Roe versus Wade.
@irishmolly72 I am aware of the embarrassment that just happened regarding that.
gregloa · 61-69, M
Roe roe roe roe roe roe roe your boat. Tired of hearing it. Nobody worried about the BABIES RIGHTS. GOD IS!!!!! They have a soul.

A pregnant woman never says "I just felt the fetus kick!".
She says "I just felt the baby kick!". Hmmmm
JPWhoo · 36-40, M
One of the very few things that’s more important even than life is bodily autonomy. A woman’s got a right to decide what does or doesn’t grow inside of her. If in other countries maybe abortion is being forced upon women for eugenic purposes, then that’s wrong.

Other than that I’d just like to say that I’m under a strong impression that abortion is a really complicated issue with few if any simple answers and that I’m no expert on it.

Well said indeed
It’s a regression
Subsumedpat · 36-40, M
Looks like some states are going to end up doing away with invetro fertilization at least as an unintended side effect. Maybe those couples can get an adoption from a forced to carry pregnancy.
Whatever. Social planning, family planning-. Nobody is familiar with family! You do get horrific fictions like eugenics. Murka is on TV in its mind.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
Was it EVER about eugenics for women? Or for most men?
irishmolly72 · 56-60, F
@ChipmunkErnie Yes. Until old Adolf gave eugenics a bad name. Then it changed like a chameleon.
ChipmunkErnie · 70-79, M
@irishmolly72 No. How many women looking for an abortion were thinking, "Gee I want to improve the race so I'll get rid of this kid and try to find a better sperm donator"??? For most of human history abortion was the next step after inefficient birth control. The general answer for eugenicists was not abortion but sterilization; SCOTUS-approved in the USA in the early 20th century and used as an inspiration for Nazi eugenics laws.

Chinese politics are not my concern sry

@irishmolly72 whatever just answering question see ya

@irishmolly72 wont make that mistake again
Ryannnnnn · 31-35, M
No its not about eugenics. Abortion has been around for very long time.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
Abortion was here since the beginning of time. They're using this as a political wedge to divide and conquer. Eugenics is a scam.
@Zonuss Not to mention the eugenics reference is to imply half the country should have their rights taken away because a single person had garbage ideas several decades ago and is long dead.

Does its status as right or wrong depend upon the rationale justifying its use?
Yes, absolutely.
