So too abortion is both dangerous for children and proof the adult does not have the child's best interest in mind. If the government is not okay with a child being raped, then it certainly cannot be complicit with a child being murdered.
Let the individual child live.
Since your premise is nonsense, so are your conclusions.
Garbage in, garbage out.
Murder is the unlawful killing of a person, with malice aforethought. Fetuses are not persons, and so terminating pregnancy is not murder. You wouldn't be on the wrong side if the issues if you began from factual premises.Originally posted by: blackangst1
On abortion, because zygote leads to child, it is therefore alive, a new DNA make up, a new life form, therefore terminating it is murder.
Don't be ridiculous. When a consequence involves a violation of your rights you certainly do not have to "live with" them. Seriously, get your facts straight.You can make the choice, but you must live with the consequences.

False. Up to 70% of ALL fertilized eggs never make it to birth, its called spontaneous abortion. For a multitude of intrinsic reasons, most zygotes fail during development. In addition, some zygotes decide they want to become "two" individuals, hence identical twins. So your premise is entirely BS.Originally posted by: blackangst1

Whatever you say. Just because you have an opinion about something doesnt make it correct. Some things are true whether you believe ot or not. Your statement is taken out of context, therefor invalid.

Your context is the absurd assumption that unique DNA actually means something. You eat eggs for breakfast but you call abortion murder. You were taught to think that and live with the fantasy that what you were taught is better than what others were taught because you feel so bad about yourself you need some external bull shit belief to substitute for real self love. You think all the women in the world should think like you so you can maintain your lunatic fiction.
Yeah, in some states the murder statutes specifically name fetuses apart from persons in their lawbooks. That doesn't refute anything I've said, nor does it make you any less wrong. The definition I've given is widely-accepted, and it is a fact well-established in American law that fetuses are not persons.Originally posted by: blackangst1

So...ever heard of a pregger woman getting murdered, and the defendant getting charged with two counts?

Facts regarding what exactly?
In which lab did you observe life beginning? As far as I was aware, the scientific concensus was that life likely began some several billion years ago, and has been in continuous reproduction and diversification since then.Originally posted by: blackangst1
Youre an ass. I wasnt "taught" anything, but rather made my own decision after studying in a lab environment.
I'm confused. You're saying that if the father does NOT consent to an abortion (and the woman carries the fetus to term), he is NOT liable for child support? I would think in this case the father would get sole custody of the child and that the woman would not be liable for child support.Originally posted by: blackangst1I would keep abortion legal so long as the father was required to give consent also, and of he didnt, it would be illegal to come after him for ANY support. You can make the choice, but you must live with the consequences.

Did you see what I wrote? Or did you read through partisan eyes? I never said I would outlaw abortion. Quite the contrary actually. Read again.

The fact that I'm an ass or don't read good hasn't anything to do with anything. Once you're taught something you see the evidence that supports that.

Perhaps I wasnt clear. there are many times the father is either suspected or not known. In that case, if the woman doesnt get consent and decides to give birth, the man in question isnt responsible. Or if the woman haves the child and the man denies responsibility due to not having say so in the birth.
I realize this may not ever happen, but its what I would propose. There was even a case a decade ago where the man presented a document that was to be notarized saying if the woman becomes preggers he will NOT support the baby. Unfortunately it didnt hold up in court as a valid legal document.

In your advocated system, if the suspected father doesn't give consent for an abortion, can the woman still legally obtain an abortion?
In your earlier post you wrote, ". . . keep abortion legal so long as the father was required to give consent also." That suggests the father has veto power over the abortion. Obviously, a woman could avoid that complication by simply claiming she didn't know who the father was.

Let the individual child live.
Fool. What if the woman cannot afford to properly care for the child? What if she just doesn't want it? What will the quality of life be for this unwanted child? Is it really in the best interest of the child to bring it into a home that cannot properly support it?
Fool? That is what adoption is for.

Not in my scenario *shrug* Thats assuming I would want abortion illegal-which I dont. Just because I think its wrong to me, doesnt mean I dont have the unbiased ability to NOT push those beliefs on others and think whats right for me is right for others. Ive never, ever thought that way. Do I think a woman who has an abortion is guilty of murder? Yep I do. Especially if it was my kid. The law disagrees with me. Thats fine. But my saying abortion should be illegal is no different than those who dont share my view pushing THEIR values on ME. I dont do it, so fuck off and dont do it to me. Agree to disagree without name calling.

Your opinion is how I feel. I feel it is murder as well, but I don't try to push my belief down others throats. Also as you said the law says otherwise, and that is what we go by obviously.
I see the debate though, people want the law changed to fit their belief, and I can't really blame people for that. So we fight back and forth, trying to get the laws to fit into our idealism.
Truth is, like most things a law needs to exist one way or another to prevent total chaos, and like many other hotly debated topics, the law falls in between both extremes of beliefs. On one end of the spectrum is "at conception" and on the other end "partial birth abortion, long as you kill it before it completely comes out, it ain't a baby"
