pro-life (or anti-choice for that matter) implies that you value a fetus over a woman. how else would you label valuing something that isn't even a living human over a woman and her life, health, body and dreams?
the pro-life opinion is that the baby is a living human and it has a life ahead of it. it's partially religious as well, as it alludes to the baby's soul and how a person shouldn't have a choice. they also believe that the woman will later mourn the baby. but, i think people who don't believe a person has a choice need to have all of their choices made for them, since it's only fair. i believe i should be excluded from certain taxes and i shouldn't have to do things that endanger my life or the lives of others, but i don't actually have that choice. paragraph three: lol.

To me, the pro-life position is fundamentally disrespectful of women. It denies them the right to make decisions regarding their bodies and futures. It subverts their desires and needs in favor of the perceived ones of a fetus- a being that is incapable of any kind of perception. It treats them as nothing more than a vessel, a fetal container

Psh, psh... Miss, such arguments are put forth by women who have a poor grasp of mathematics and simple logic.
Unfortunate that they're so willing to live up to the stereotype, yeah?
But the greatest slight is the general unwillingness to argue the matter with anyone who sounds like he might have a faint idea as to what he speaks. If you're so adamant, surely you can defend it... correct?
sure, it's kind of frustrating though. after so long of arguing the same thing, yes- i become less willing to spend my time and energy explaining something that should be clear. meh.
what the hell?jazzyjessDecember 28 2004, 00:09:14 UTC
well obviously i can if i believe so strongly in the statement. i was merely justifying why people might opt not to go into discussion about it. i can understand why.
