PKA Debates the Abоrtiоn Issue

Life.

Infacide up 1 year after birth or until the child is named. Super traditional. Also equal rights. If a woman can put her child down, then a man should be able to put her wherever. Censorship yay.

I would be pro life if our government didn’t set those lives born up for failure and those of that partisan group vocally and legislatively being against providing a half-decent standard of living for them. It seems like those folks are “pro-life” until that life is born. Then, those lives are just discarded and mocked for needing government assistance and handouts.

I think that ultimately it’s pretty rare for anything that would be considered late term. People using it as birth control is pretty rare, you miss one birth control pill, a condom breaks, guys also lie all the time about finishing or even take the condom off without saying something. You don’t know right away. Late terms are extremely rare and 99% of the time (way the fuck closer to accurate than Taylor’s estimate in the opposite direction) it’s a pregnancy that’s going to die immediately outside of the womb. Taylor is insanely misinformed on this.

Abortion laws have nothing to do with your philosophy on what life constitutes. It has everything to do with the gov seeking philosophical rule over the arguments and taking your seat away from the table.

So the government shouldn't be able to prevent murder? The government shouldn't be able to prevent rape? I'm all against government overreach, but this take is the most asinine take on this topic.

[@austin3853]

I see the issue as one of consent. When you have sex, you are doing so with the knowledge that there is some % chance that a pregnancy will occur, regardless of what method(s) of birth control is used. Meaning, if the outcome happens to be a pregnancy, you (both parents) should be willing to accept the responsibility that comes along with having sex. You both consented to an activity with a widely known possible outcome. The fetus did not consent to any of this. This also takes care of the question of exceptions, as lack of consent would mean the outcome should not have been possible. Meaning, abortions are acceptable in those cases. Obviously, an exception for the health of the mother is needed as well. We definitely need better resources for children, but it shouldn't preclude us from protecting everybody's rights.

We value human life because of its ability to experience. Conscious hopes, needs, wants, fears, all of that. If we know anything about the relationship between physical complexity, and the ability to experience, we would understand that the brain is where all of this comes from. Abortion should be legal up to the point of these complex systems which allow consciousness to arise have developed enough to have some semblance of awareness. According to the best research I can find, its around 28 weeks. the brain stem starts to develop around week 6, with movements from the nervous system and reactions to external stimulus starting to happen at week 8. So, IMHO a good middle ground answer would be 8-10 weeks, giving mothers plenty of time to realize they are pregnant and make an informed decision.

It’s uncomfortable and can come with many complications, but unless the mother’s life is in danger, it’s necessary that they carry the baby. It’s a very noble and even heroic thing for a woman to accept that she was assaulted and still allow that child to live. Any woman who does that is an absolute saint in my book.

My stance on abortion very closely lines up with Woody's. If the baby is 100% reliant on the mothers body to be able to develop/live, then to me that just makes the baby apart of the mothers body. To be clear I dont care whatever anyone wants to call it, I just feel people should have autonomy over their body. However if the baby is fully capable of leaving the mothers body (while still being fed and taken care of, of course) then it becomes it own being, this gaining its own autonomy, and should not be harmed in any way. That's just my views on it, and everyone SHOULD be utilizing all of the technologies available to avoid unwanted pregnancy.

[@JoeBob-m7t]

Woody started this by describing himself lol.

[@zuccsucc476]

i think abortion should be allowed if pregnancy was forced on someone, especially if that someone is a child, and/or if the mother will not survive. I believe in consequences, but i also believe that you shouldnt have to ruin your body if you never had a choice.

[@BaitWaitOutdoors]

I don’t think the government should be involved with anything medical. I also struggle with this viable outside the womb stance…. What infant or child can survive on their own? I just don’t think that’s a good argument.

[@meghabhatt2063]

This was an incredibly ill informed “debate” on both sides. And as a prolifer I cringed listening to Taylor. he doesn’t even recognize that Woody is saying objectivly wrong statements. Woody is wrong that half of abortions are done by “plan b”. While half of abortions are done with an abortion pill, that is not plan b. Abortions by definition take place after implantation. Plan b is not the same thing as the abortion pill. Its an entirely different type of pill, and works primarily by preventing ovulation, and MAY thin the lining of the uterus, so if the other mechanism fails, the chances of implantation might be lower. And that last mechanism is even debatable whether it happens in scientific literature. And it is perfectly consistent to be ok with plan b and not abortion, but Taylor botches up his reasoning so badly for that. A woman is not pregnant unless implantation has occured, after which plan b will never work. Abortion isnt a passive action that may or may not harm a embryo. All modern methods directly kill the embryo or fetus. The question is whether that embryo or fetus should be considered a person. If one believes that it is, then it is not inconsistent to oppose it even in cases of a fetus with a severe birth defect. Many of those are detected later in pregnancy, and an abortion isnt simply just “allowing” them to die like a coma patient being unplugged. It involves injecting the fetus with feticide that kills it by stopping the heart, and then removing it via labor induction, or in pieces in a D&E (And sometimes the D&E is done without an injection, which involves a live dismemberment) If a woman had a premature infant at 24 weeks with a severe defect, she would (and should) be allowed to opt for palliative non invasive care until death. But she cannot have a doctor directly kill it. However, if that 24 weeker was still in utero, the law allows killing it even though it is inconsistent. That is what Taylor should have pointed out instead of dismissing it as an outlier, even though It is true that the vast majority of abortions are done on healthy fetuses carried by healthy mothers. Also, the safe legal and rare stance that kyle likes is nonsensical. Its an attempt to be “moderate” and is logically incoherent. if its not murder, why does it need to be rare? That’s like saying colonoscopies should be “rare” as opposed to available for those who need them. It is much more coherent to be pro-choice and not think it should be “rare”, if its truly a medical procedure that serves as a backstop to imperfect contraception.

​@@AnEnemyAnenomeif you eat meat, you cant morally support anti abortion laws, its inconsistent. There are certain criteria that animals lack that makes it okay for us to kill them, legally. A human fetus lacks these same criteria and more, would that make it okay to kill them? If you support life in all forms, then you are against the killing of animals for food.

[@johnnybravo2873]

Kyle has a surprising amount of insight on both of the arguments. Woody is taking the basic left leaning take. And Taylor has the basic right wing take, but secretly dgaf and wants to play AOE. But I agree with Taylor, don't stick your baby shooter into the baby maker if you aren't willing to accept the consequences.

[@xandercrews4729]

At least use protection. Granted, it’s not 100% preventative but it’s still extremely high.

[@xandercrews4729]

And I think Woody has a valid point about all these unwanted/neglected kids becoming a burden on society. It’s harsh to view a baby that way, but so many of these troubled teens come from f’d parental situations.

accidents happen. If you have applied contraceptives between two consenting adults with the agreement you don't want to have a child, but the applied contraceptive fails as they are capable of doing. Seems unfair to force a product failure onto the consumer.

[@xandercrews4729]

@xandercrews4729 I think we agree there are a lot of rare circumstances where someone goes "well... I get it". My point entirely is saying is sex in the 21st century shouldn't blanket be an 18 to life commitment. Imo abortion should be legal and accessible. Humans could do with more population control.

[@limemason]

It is very easy to come to a Pro-Life conclusion on the issue logically. It is not simply a remnant of religious thinking. Neither side has any real scientific evidence to support their argument on whether or not it is a life. So, each side has equal standing when making their claim. If the Pro-Life side is wrong, then the worst that has happened is that women had been oppressed. If the Pro-Choice side is wrong, then that is one of the worst crimes and tragedies in the history of humanity. So, naturally, *just to be safe*, the Pro-Life side is the correct side to stand on as of now.
