I don't know why you bring up special situations such as having to chose between killing an old man or a child, or of governments engaging in war and war crimes.

I can tell you.

If it's between you and a 5 year old kid being killed, which would you pick?

Me, without even hesitation. Would you rather die than a 5 year old kid? There's no question with me. I would never kill a child to survive.

yawaraf says

If it is forbidden to kill a 12 year old on account that he is a human being, why not forbid the killing of a fetus on account that it is a human being?

Because the question is, is it human?

I oppose abortion, I think contraception is VASTLY preferable, but failing that - who would abort their child? Maybe they shouldn't have kids, they'll be like them. You oppose them, we know for certainty that children adopt the beliefs and attitudes of their parents, you want to reduce abortion - don't you?

There's a line between a fertilized egg and a baby, I can't pretend I can judge where it's ethical of even if it is ethical ever. But if you're going to do it, do it as soon as possible. It really should be safe, legal, and rare, and preferably, as early as possible.

I know women that had a kid at 15, she (and him) didn't just fuck up their lives, they fucked up their kid as well. Adoption would have been better, but we have the propaganda box telling them that they are a stunningly brave and powerful woman and a government that forces the man involved to pay child support for 18 years. It's just poverty for everybody and both adults hated it, that poor kid. She fucked over the guy that married her. Ruined his life.

I have two adopted people in my family. I don't think they should have been terminated, after all I exist as a result - but I will not oppose it. If it was available at that time, I would have never known.

I oppose a non-nuclear family, and what a strange name that is. NUCLEAR family. Like it's space age or something - as if it's a new concept as a result of modernity, it's been around for thousands of years.

Maybe they should have kids? Ever think of that? Maybe just that one changes them as a woman or guy? Maybe they don't get 6 other abortions? Have a kid yourself? Or take one in? Stop talking out your ass on a topic you literally know nothing about. Zilch. Nada.

You talk about who you know. YOU haven't experienced it. I hang out daily with a couple where the wife had a kid at 15. I have two kids. I fucking know nothing about her experience even though she's a good friend. The kid is 20 and doing well instead of dead. He wouldn't exist by your logic. Oh and she lost a kid to a bacterial infection at 3 years old. I'm sure you know about how that feels too....

I hate this topic, but your take on it is so far off it's not even funny. As I've said, until you have a kid, I really don't respect anyone's opinion on the topic. Shut your mouth. I know a lot of people that did a lot of things, doesn't mean I've experienced it. It's just information. You got information and have no clue.

Yes. So many woman voters see unrstricted abortion as the only issue. This is why Biden keeps taking about preserving abortion rights and saboteur Lindsay Graham keeps proclaiming a national abortion ban.

And they are too stupid to figure out how to have sex without getting pregnant.

3 Days? Where the hell are people shopping? Family of 5 here. If you're spending $130 in 3 days you're a common retard. I could get two cases of beer, handle of vodka for the wife and food for our kids. And not processed shit either.

People need to shop better. Or start cooking. I got 3 pork tenderloins for $9. Just grilled up 2. Delicious. Leftovers for lunch for a day or two. I still have one more to cook. 3-5 meals for $9. Green beans from the garden call it $1.

I know there's inflation, but you don't have to be a dumb ass. We get our booze and food for less than that in 3 days. For me I can make a spicy cheese and jalapeño quesadilla for 50¢. The kids don't go hungry. $130 is insane for 3 days. I could skip booze and take the family out 3 nights for that amount.

If that's true, it's horrifying.

You are correct. But... I'd be caring for 6 nephews/nieces or they'd be homeless or dead. It's a tricky topic until you experience the outcomes. I hate the idea of it, but we'd be dragged close to poverty if my SIL had all her babies and we make solid income. 9 kids total aren't cheap and we're the only ones in the family that can handle that.

It's upsetting knowing what my nephew has become in a good way knowing a bunch were aborted. But my SIL should not be a mother and I hate to say she made a good decision on her abortions. My wife was the one that convinced her to have my nephew. I secretly believe she knew he would be ours. She didn't want to be pregnant again, don't blame her. I was not informed of the plan. It's working out though in a good way.

Not complaining. I'm lucky. But the burden and history I carry with me is more than I think most could handle. Dead dad's, 2 suicides, nephew as a son (not a complaint). This is why I bitch so much here.

SIL could have just closed her vagina to blacks, but that's a different conversation. Building a house to accommodate him. Yes we want it for ourselves, but may not have done it otherwise.
