It isn't people you're talking about, it is only men. The issue is only men are giving their opinion, which they feel very strongly about, and it is a circumstance they, biologically speaking, can never experience.
So please take the advice of another man: whereof one cannot speak, thereof one must be silent. A woman's right to do as she pleases with her body is as absolute as a man's right to do as he pleases with his body.
- tristor 4y agoWe're not talking about the right to bodily autonomy, we're talking about doing scientific research and forming and expressing opinions. By your logic, we should rip down all the signs legally mandated in bar bathrooms informing people that alcohol during pregnancy causes birth defects.
- Maursault 4y ago> we're talking about doing scientific research While the article concerns a study, I responded to the OP of this thread, which is scrutinizing, "Why are pregnant women smoking weed to begin with?" Now you have just advanced a straw man argument, as the topic of this thread is not research nor your defense of opinions, but rather, scrutinizing pregnant women.
- tristor 4y agoIt’s exactly what I said it is and you are engaged in politically motivated reasoning as evidenced by other subthreads and not making good faith assertions. The only one straw manning others is you.
- Maursault 4y agoYour argument is as unsound as your confusion is deep. Do not judge. Let the wicked be wicked. Don't you read your Bible, child?
- _-david-_ 4y agoShould men not tell women not to drink alcohol while pregnant? Men can't understand what it is like to be pregnant. What right does a man have to control a women's body?
- Maursault 4y agoUnder what circumstances will you tolerate being told what to do? Right! Never.
- _-david-_ 4y agoI tolerate it all the time. I live in a society that tells me I can't jaywalk, speed, drink and drive and everything else there are laws against. These crimes a victimless and yet I still follow them (for the most part). When I don't I accept the risk I am given a ticket or am arrested.
- asveikau 4y agoWhat about a doctor giving medical advice? You want to listen to that type of person, do you not? That's not "telling you what to do", it's offering a medical opinion which is typically sought out. So, most doctors would advise against alcoholic beverages during pregnancy, I hope.
