Uh, women would like a word.
- fwip 2y agoThe argument against abortion is that the fetus is a separate person, and thus is not something you do "to yourself."
- hoorible 2y agoUh yeah I don’t think anyone needs to have “the argument” explained. I have yet to see an explanation for why it deserves any merit though.
- fwip 2y agoI'm pro-choice, but I think that it's not an unreasonable stance if you believe that the fetus is an alive human being with intrinsic worth, or a soul. (Souls aren't real, but >75% of Americans believe in them.)
- hoorible 2y agoNone of that is a refutation of what I said though, since I reject the notion that belief in the existence of the soul can be used as justification for stripping a person of their bodily autonomy. If we found out cancer cells had souls tomorrow, exactly no one would be screaming “but their souls!” at folks walking into a cancer clinic.
- fwip 2y ago"since I reject the notion ..." Well, that's a you problem. The rest of us make decisions based on what we believe, not on what you believe.
- akimbostrawman 2y agoyou put an adults bodily autonomy over a innocent babies life. I would hope most people have enough self awareness to not compare a foreign hostile disease that does nothing but kill its host to a human life.
