I never said that you mentioned religion. You were carrying on about the supposedly horrendous acts that pro-choice people commit, so I pointed out some of the actions of pro-lifers.
Third-term abortion is not legal everywhere. It's not legal most places. At the point where most abortion is legal, all that is being "killed" is a bunch of tissue. A bunch of tissue is not alive, nor does it have to be cared for, at least in the sense you implied in your statement.
Yes, adoption is a possibility. It's just as painful emotionally as some women find having an abortion. Some women aren't bothered by it at all. There's no across-the-board standard. As to your comment about the old...Complete strawman. There is NO comparison whatsoever between a piece of tissue (a first trimester fetus) and a fully grown adult who may or may not be disabled. Not all elderly are unable to contribute to society, either. Nice generalization.
Fine. Show me some horrendous thing a pro-choice person has done, other than exercise their choice and do something you personally find wrong. I can profusely document every example I brought up.
OK, I apologize. That should have read something along the lines of "people who share your opinion." Sorry for the confusion.
I see what you are saying, and yes, I agree that many of those who are Pro-Life can be religious and are very insensitive to what those who are having an abortion are going through, truly it is unfair that they can do these things.
It's true it's not legal everywhere, and you would need the sketchiest of doctors to perform it, but again, it still happens, and there are people who are very willing to allow this to happen. Well the tissue can be considered alive, as the cells that make up the tissue are all alive. Again, I see what you are saying about the tissue, but if you give it time, that tissue has human like features. What distinguishes that tissue from the tissue that looks like a human? Are you basing life on just the look of it?
Arguable. You kill the fetus, and the woman will know that the child could have grown up, could have had a life, with a loving family that could care for him/her. You adopt a child, you know they are going into the best of care, a loving family. And when the child is 19, they can have Full Disclosure, and get a way to contact their birth parents.
It was a terrible generalization, I am aware. I regret it the second I clicked post. But the point I'm trying to make still stands. You take any person of any age who can no longer contribute to society, they are equal to the tissue in a woman's womb. Neither do anything, and both suck extra resources away from the world. However one of them may grow into the greatest thing to ever happen to the planet. (Please note, I am not saying kill the people who cannot contribute. I am appalled at the idea, I'm just playing Devil's Advocate.)
Seeing as we have different opinions, it's a moot point. I will say one thing that I find offensive, and you will call it choice. You say one thing you find offensive, I will call it preservation of life. It's all different, so there is no point.
No worries, mistakes happen all the time.
