I have to agree it’s about whether it’s moral to murder anybody. It’s not the woman’s body or she would be dead. All scientists agree that from conception on you’re a growing human. Not a labradoodle or snapping turtle so no benefit to calling them “its” aside from emotional detachment. Why not call it what it is, infanticide. Murdering baby humans. And there’s NOTHING wrong with the Bible, God hasn’t changed his mind yet so His Word still reigns. Also, what do you have against anyone willing to go to the manufacturer for guidance?Are you saying your solution is to allow abortion so there is less abortion?
Contraceptives, as in condoms being 85% effective does not change the fact that abortion is immoral. Nor do you include condoms and birth control in your calculation. Certainly, you're not taking abstinence and personal responsibility into account.
Again, religion is not the only source of belief that abortion is immoral, nor does the percentage of Christians disqualify them from making the argument. Nobody seems to advocate for murder of adults being legal, do they?
At the end of the day the argument can be boiled down to this: is it immoral to murder another human being? Bringing up anything else muddies the water.
You're taking a purely idealized stance on this, and not taking into account any realities. I'm saying abortions reduce other societal issues such as need for welfare, crime, and the mental torture that is foster care and adoption system. Yes abortions also reduce the need for further abortions.
The facts are that "personal responsibility " and abstinence have been proven not to work, resulting in higher numbers of unwanted pregnancies. If you're going to claim that people just need to get better at abstinence then you're not debating in good faith. You're also just moving the goal post of what amount of contraception is considered acceptable. Even with both condoms and hormonal contraceptives you're still going to have 1.5% unwanted pregnancies which is still quite significant, and almost no one uses both.
Christians are the primary group who do not like abortion. If you want to convince others of your view point you cannot use religion as an argument as over 1/3 of the population think your religion is false and therefore religious views holds no sway in any argument. There's even a substantial amount of Christians who believe abortion is acceptable.
The argument cannot be boiled down to "is it immoral to murder another human being?". It has not been determined that fetuses are people, infact there is more precedence to say that fetuses before a certain age not people. I don't believe embryos or fetuses are people, they have no ability to survive even for one minute on their own and have no distinguishing traits that can be determined without genetic testing. Effectively they are interchangeable.
Bringing up other factors is the most important thing in policy debates, as without that you're going to make decisions that have terrible secondary effects.
*offspringIt sounds like you don't want those people having off-spring. So abortion should be good
There are many things in the bible that have been proven wrong, such as a person living for 900 years. So there are definitely things wrong with the bible. A book with allot of errors in makes it much more likely that other things in the book are true. Finally there is no evidence that god exists, so unless you can prove the core idea in the bible everything else is just opinion.I have to agree it’s about whether it’s moral to murder anybody. It’s not the woman’s body or she would be dead. All scientists agree that from conception on you’re a growing human.

Cater no they don’t. Abortions lead to vanerial disease and infections, to scarring that can prevent future impregnation, to emotional trauma once people realize they just murdered their offspring! It does nothing to reduce poverty, social aid spending or bad voters. Abortion doesn’t reduce crime of any sort or increase the prosperity of anyone not selling abortions. Again, the issue isn’t failed democrat arguments but is it morally acceptable to murder anyone? If that answer is not yes then you disagree with murdering babies.You're taking a purely idealized stance on this, and not taking into account any realities.

Check the numbers or your sources because if 77% of Americans self identify as Christian then there’s not 33% to “not believe” even at 70% and these numbers are from a search in 2016 that came from political polls and they ranged from 70-77% Christians. I know heinous democrats have been importing Muslims by the millions but we are still the vast majority here. Also, if you’re ok with abortion then you’re ok with me offing your mom whenever I decide she got in my way somewhere. Granted I would never do that, but the argument is the same. What it gonna be? Murder babies and Anybody else we don’t like for convenience, or admit it’s a violation of babies’ rights to life?You're taking a purely idealized stance on this, and not taking into account any realities.

Are you going to tell me you also don't believe in climate change and its eventual catastrophic effects? Dirty money and political influence happens in everything and is an entirely different topic to the morality and utility of abortion.abortion, like climate change, is a political tool to get money.
planned parenthood creates a loop for federal funding that is then cycled back to the politicians that support the funding, via another group called PPA. we gives millions to planned parenthood, who somehow can afford to donate tens of millions to the campaigns of left wing assholes.
see how that works?
If I don't agree you're "people", can I murder you without legal recourse?Again many do not consider fetuses people, so until both parties agree to that, you are debating in bad faith and projecting your views onto others.
the climate changes constantly on its own, regardless of our input or output.Are you going to tell me you also don't believe in climate change and it's eventual catastrophic effects?

Seeing that “climate change” is a hoax with no data to support it I think pretty low of minds that do believe in it. That whole “the ice caps are melting because you won’t buy a Prius” thing blew up in Obamy’s Face when real scientists said “relax people the caps always shed ice but they’re actually growing”. The temperatures haven’t gone 1/2 a degree outside their (roughly) 100 year cycle. Humans don’t have the power to change the climate on Earth. Every year volcanoes spew more CO2 into the air than mankind has our entire existence combined. That’s right. NOAA and NASA allow you to download the weather data and models they keep for free and you can see how silly it is to say that potentially 1/10 of 1 degree is going to kill us all.Are you going to tell me you also don't believe in climate change and it's eventual catastrophic effects?

what i can tell you is that certain groups have manipulated the historical data in order to make money from it.
I would submit that this is exactly what is happening in the US, though few are willing to admit it. Getting rid of those that will consume instead of contribute and drag down the country. You know, for the long term security of the nation.My two cents would be that the healthiest children are the ones where the parent(s) have the financial capabilities to care for and provide for the child. Caring for children is hugely expensive. I would think that if a country truly wants to raise healthy children for the betterment of the nation, then abortion is a necessary evil.
I cannot continue to debate with either of you. You both clearly select whatever biased sources that you can find to support your own stances. When the vast majority of scientists have confirmed climate change and you select a well known climate change fraudster support your views, I can only imagine you are looking for comfort that something scary and mostly out of your control isn't happening.
Cow farts. Always cow farts.What melted the previous ice ages before the industrial revolution, SUVs, and lively before bovine flatulence?
I thought the government got out of the business of rewarding people for having more children, but I really wouldn't know.yeah, and instead our own government incentivizes single parent households by offering greater monetary entitlements for households that are missing the biological father.
you answered without even watching it.I cannot continue to debate with either of you. You both clearly select whatever biased sources that you can find to support your own stances.

In Marin County, there were sensors placed on top of a donut shop and a hair dressers. 'Spare the Air' days were called on account of jelly donuts, hair colorings, and perms.One interesting point:
There are two "official" weather stations here. One sits atop a giant 'skyscraper', a few feet from an exhaust. The other sits 20 yards off the runway at the airport. I wonder if data is affected by placement. I'm certain the two local ones would be the only ones that exist with choice placement.
the video i shared is derived from the actual data.One interesting point:

Nice try but infanticide is not people doing their patriotic duties. It’s not akin to joining the Army or even organizing a highway trash collection. It’s not a difficult decision made for the sake of ending poverty. It’s selfish people who don’t want to live with the consequences of getting it on. It’s the opposite of Personal Responsibility. I have heard some stuff in my day but I never thought I would see anyone argue that abortion is about curbing poverty for the sake of the Nation. Maybe those grief stricken “parents” should receive medals, after all they eradicated poverty, drug addiction and violent crime at the expense of their dead offspring. People murder babies in the womb because it’s convenient, in a few weeks you’re back living like it never happened unless you somehow grow a conscience.I would submit that this is exactly what is happening in the US, though few are willing to admit it.

Not saying it’s right. I’m saying that it is an end result of what’s going on.
The climate has always changed through the centuries. Its not mankind that is changing it.I cannot continue to debate with either of you.

Coming from the folks who have been (incorrectly) predicting doom and gloom for 50 years, and their answer is always "Please Mr. Government man, protect me"?I can only imagine you are looking for comfort that something scary and mostly out of your control isn't happening.
I’ve actually become partial to the 6creed shooting solids after seeing it in action at the expo at the hoplite booth.Couldn’t agree more. I have read little about AI cases/chambers and have no personal experience with them to formulate an opinion from. I enjoy shooting 30-30. A simple cartridge that’s well suited to the thick woods here in Tennessee and I think highly of it. I like it in Marlin 336 and in Winchester 94 but the 336 is my personal preference even though I’ll shoot both all day long. How about you, what’s your preferred hunting cartridge where you hunt? Or range cartridge if you don’t hunt.
Had a 300 WinMag briefly and didn’t like the heavy recoil from even mild loads and sold it off to buy a 308. Was accurate with the Powders and bullets I had on hand though, just more recoil than I enjoy anymore.I’ve actually become partial to the 6creed shooting solids after seeing it in action at the expo at the hoplite booth.
It’s insanely accurate and mild recoil.
Before that I was /am a 300 wm fan
Wife and I looked into fostering and adoption after we lost our first baby in utero. The foster system wants you to take bad kids and not discipline them, can’t homeschool them and are even more strictly forbidden from taking them to church, at least in TN. They did say that fostering would waive state fees for Adopting but that’s not nearly enough. State uses these kids as an income source and it hurts a lot of couples looking to grow their families. God gave us our two naturally after we realized adoption would never be financially within reach.I made it half way through page 7 before skipping to the end. Here's my take. I carry a firearm to protect myself and my loved ones. I will only use it when presented with an immediate threat. I view abortion as having the same necessity. When there is immediate threat to the mothers life, the choice is to save her or lose both. I am the father to a little man that wasn't aborted after physicians urged his bio-mother to terminate the pregnancy because they detected deformity. She was a drug abuser but didn't believe in abortion according to some of her relatives. But, if she continued to party and miscarried, so be it. He had a stroke at birth, on a vent for 2 days and had a plethora of other shit that he will deal with throughout his life. My wife and I were called for a fucking HOSPICE placement for a 4 day old baby. They gave him 3 weeks to a month. We met the little shit at 8 days old. My wife gave him his first basin bath, fed him one of his first bottles after they pulled the NG tube. Day 22 we were told by the NICU attending that he would never walk, talk, eat solid food, be potty trained, etc. "Be prepared for a lifetime of heartache." Fuck that guy. He's 16, runs his mouth like any other teenager and understands dad will whoop his ass if he doesn't get his damn room clean by the time I get home. Lol. He's delayed. He's got right side weakness from the stroke. But he's MY boy!! Idgaf. If she had listened... Fuck this justification for parental convenience and likelihood of disability. So yes, I'm pro-life. Yes, we did foster care for a decade. Yes, we (two white folk) adopted a (black) special needs child.
To address the first page comments on cost, it's a matter of how you do it. We adopted through our local county office here in Ohio. Getting certified with a county gives NUMEROUS benefits. The adoption was paid for through a one time stipend for non-recurring expenses. (Car seat, crib, etc.) There were local attorneys that had agreements with Job and Family Services. They would file paperwork and after the adoption was finalized, we would agree to pay them from that stipend. Being affiliated with JFS also opened up adoption from any other county entity across the country. Check out AdoptUSkids. Most have medical issues or are sibling groups.
We just happened to be blessed. I pray others look into at least doing foster care. It's an amazing way to impact people, especially yourself.
I'll talk to anyone who wants more info.
States vary greatly on restrictions and requirements. Here in Ohio it was/is completely up to the bio family. If they allow you to homeschool or take them to church then JFS doesn't mind. Discipline was expected. They didn't allow the leeway fosters parents may have with their bio kids.Wife and I looked into fostering and adoption after we lost our first baby in utero.

My wife has...? had...? PCOS. She had a hysterectomy end of 2019 because of endometrial cancer. We never had biological children.
My kind? My kind leave and go on and live happy lives.
^^^^^But he's MY boy!! Idgaf. If she had listened... Fuck this justification for parental convenience and likelihood of disability. So yes, I'm pro-life.
Why don't you cruise over to the road rage thread and help decide how many "people" are dead?"is it immoral to murder another human being?". It has not been determined that fetuses are people, infact there is more precedence to say that fetuses before a certain age not people.
No and no. Pelvic inflammatory disease FROM STDs from unprotected sex (BTW - the same cause as the demand for abortions) causes scarring of the fallopian tubes, ectopic pregnancies and prevention of future pregnancies. Correctly performed abortion, especially early stage, not so much. Spend one day in an urban ER. Every teenage female with abdominal pain gets a pregnancy screen before any other test for a reason - the "R/O ectopic train"...we called it.Abortions lead to vanerial disease and infections, to scarring that can prevent future impregnation,
With B.S. "restrictions" like listed above, no wonder foster kids "turn out bad"
What do you expect when the people trying to care for them can't instill any decent morals into them or punish them properly for their actions.
Then they grow up to be another street terror that gets away with everything until some fellow 'just turning their life around" type kills them.
you realize that rape accounts for less than 1% of abortions, right?Yea....I hope you never have to think about your daughter being raped by some POS, getting pregnant, giving birth, then having to share custody with his family, at worst he does minimal time gets out and has visitation rights.
Think before you respond.
Funny thing with “abortion” and unwanted kids, we have the technology to eliminate the whole conversation, fully prevent unwanted pregnancies, but there’s just no money in that.
