So what about the other heart beat? There are two heartbeats involved here.
Azrael ·
@hippyjoe1955 one is more conciousnes and has emotions and will suffer emotional and psychological damage plus any bodily damages or tolls that are bound to happen during pregnancy.

The other will live in a world knowing it was unwanted, possibly going through emotional, physical, psychological and sexual abuse.

They'll both try to fucking kill themselves in the end.
Azrael ·
@hippyjoe1955 and I won't say more on it, since y'all are just proving the point of the comment.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Azrael I am simply pointing out that there are two heartbeats involved. If one is important then so is the other. If one is not important neither is the other.
Azrael ·
@hippyjoe1955 that's your belief, hence, you are proving the point of the original post. One of those heartbeats also has, as I've said before, a conciousnes and emotions and a functioning brain. That's a fact.

@hippyjoe1955 Two heartbeats, but how many minds?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Azrael What believe. Ever heard of a fetal heart beat monitor? I have listened to many baby's heart beats long before they were born. That isn't belief that is fact.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@QuixoticSoulIf we were to kill people for lack of a mind you would be front of the line.
Azrael ·
@hippyjoe1955 belief that both the heartbeats are equal lol

Answer me this, if, at any point in the pregnancy, the doctor told you that going through with it will result in the mother's death or that only one of them could be saved, what will you choose?
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Azrael So how are you going to determine which one is more important? Is my heart beat more important than yours so I have a right to stop yours?

@hippyjoe1955 Hippie, you’re uncontroversially the dumbest person on SW at any given moment - but you too, have a mind. Just not a very useful one. It’s not a very high bar to clear.

But the 6 month fetus doesn’t.
Azrael ·
@hippyjoe1955 bruh we are equal because we have an conciousnes and a [b]b r a i n[/b] it's not that hard to understand. And you didn't answer my question because that situation I presented u with actually happens.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@QuixoticSoul Oh no you have me beat by light years. If cluelessness were a capital crime you would have been hanged decades ago.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Azrael Are you sure you have a mind? I can't be sure. Maybe you don't really think therefore I can kill you. After all you certainly don't think the way I do.
Azrael ·
@hippyjoe1955 soooooo insulting someone, rather than just answering a question that real people in real situations are faced with because that would mean admitting that you might not be totally right? Classy babe. 👩‍❤️‍👩

@Azrael It is the hippie way 🤷‍♂️

As is solipsism, apparently. Tbh it fits reasonably well with the rest of how he operates.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@Azrael I didn't insult anyone. I simply took your point of view. You just haven't figured it out yet which makes my point even more prescient.
Azrael ·
@QuixoticSoul please don't group him with the hippies, I'm sure they are more liberal than him. Heck, I've been called a hippie before, and I certainly do NOT want to be grouped with religious anti-abortionists.
Azrael ·
@hippyjoe1955 1. Don't use big words pls 'cause idk what prescient mean (English isn't my first language).

2. No, maybe I didn't explain it well enough. I said conciousnes, emotions and a functioning brain.
Let me clear my pov for u:
Conciousnes - awareness (everyone has that)
Emotions - the ability to feel and react(everyone has that)
Functioning brain - includes perception and whatever the fuck else goes on in a child's brain. (everyone has that)

And no, people with disabilities are just as equal because ya know they have at least one of the three. Those three aren't individual factors, they are interconnected and include the heartbeat. If a person were to have none of them, they'd be considered brain dead and be taken off life support. 👌

@Azrael The folks who think abortion is murder, typically think that the terry schiavo scenario is also murder.

The extent to which flimsy and unnecessary fictions like the soul complicate some folks’ thinking is downright hilarious.
Azrael ·
@QuixoticSoul oohh I had to look that up. If they think that euthanasia is murder then well, I have nothing to tell them except that they should mind their own business just as they do for euthanasia cases.

Yeah, but according to their logic if the soul is real, it won't matter if someone dies because are they [i]really[/i] dead? They could just send their "thoughts and prayers"
