Can THAT be vetoed?
Didn't think so. I'm gonna be sick.
At least we have some hope, but Republicans HAVE been quietly stacking the courts in recent years.
I think that's an overly simplistic approach, @Snake
If it's late in the pregnancy, then yes, but that is already illegal.
Besides, there are _many_ ways to terminate a pregnancy. Legal abortions are the least reprehensible one.
Without legal abortion, people intentionally miscarry, make false rape accusations, get back alley abortions, and worse.
@Snake You DID enter this conversation by saying "I think abortion is murder." It was fair to assume you were prolife until you clarified just jow that you weren't.
*now
@Monstrous Moonshine That is disgusting, but it doesn't justify attempting to restrict women's access to legal abortion. I would resort to societal pressure to stop that one.
Also, aborted fetuses can be used to further stem cell research, which might one day lead to a cure for MS, among other things, which would mean no one else would have to suffer like my mother does.
But _getting off_ on abortion? That's just sick.
@Snake Oh, I definitely agree. I just think that, when a pregnancy is terminated, it should be used to help stem cell research.
But yeah, abortion "for the hell of it" or anything like that is just... bad.
Maybe, but I also believe that that could lead to illegitimate pregnancy terminations and other such things. I personally believe that society will have to sort out the problem of people getting abortions for the wrong reasons. And yes, improved sex ed is a definite good approach to limiting abortions.
But illegalizing abortion will _never_ end well. Unless we develop a more human procedure that renders abortion completely obsolete.
@Boop / ๋ธํ / C'thUwU That's a good way to _prevent_ pregnancy, but it is not without the possibility of failure.
Yes, but there are many times where it just won't help. There are instances of rape, there are young people who are reckless and stupid, and much more.
It's good to work to increase the use of contraceptives, but not at the cost of legal abortion. And again, abortion _is_ illegal beyond a certain point in the pregnancy, as it should be.
^
Once the fetus _is_ truly alive, it deserves protection. But the argument does not hold water when used to justify - Boop is strawmanning. We shouldn't bother anymore.
If he can't understand nuance and balance, he will _never_ have a good take on any political issue.
I was talking to the others. I'm kinda done bothering with you. There is a difference between "pro-choice" and "condoning child abuse"
Well, vegetables have already lived a good deal of their lives, and there's always the possibility that we might be able to save some of them someday. I don't really know if we should just give up on them because we can't currently resuscitate them.
I believe in the case of vegetables, it should be decided by loved ones
Whether or not to cling onto a thin ray of hope or move on.
I don't believe it is morally wrong to pull the plug on a vegetable, depending on the circumstances. If they are truly beyond hope of recovery and the family is ready to let go, it's perfectly fine, albeit painful and sad and tragic, as death always is.
But before a life has started, before the brain has had a chance to develop beyond its most infantile stages, it's different. The life has not yet existed. It's not taking something that's already there, but opting out of carrying something new into the world. Women should have that right.
I won't claim to know enough to be able to name an exact point in the pregnancy that should be considered the line, but I believe it ahould be a balance of allowing time to make the decision and not allowing time for the fetus to develop.
Personally, I'd love it if we could detect pregnancies the day after conception. That would allow us to shorten the window of time a bit without taking away time for the decision to be made.
Same here.
8 weeks sounds about right.
Depending on when pregnancies can be detected, 'cuz I don't actually remember. If they can't be detected until 9 weeks or something, that creates an obvious problem.
Personally, I want to reach the point where we can safely and easily remove the fetus and preserve it for someone who wants a kid. Everyone wins.
Yeah, it's not quite that simple. @MrDrk666
@Boop / ๋ธํ / C'thUwU Yeah, people who do that piss me off.
Indeed. Yay for technological advancements slowly removing certain moral grey areas. @juts kill nme That is not true. There are people who just take advantage of the political and societal winds, though, and they suck, but that is not the majority. I will admit that there is also an undercurrent of resentment due to a lot of societal issues that have long gone ignored, however, which does create a perception of reverse bigotry. However, I wouldn't say a world war is necessary just because a lot of women are pissed off at rampant sexual harassment and a bunch of other bullshit and are thus eager to express that frustration when people finally start listening. I mean, look at how many people the public used to adore who have turned out to be serial harassers and whatnot. Wouldn't you be pissed off if you and/or people you knew had to deal with this crap all the time, and after decades of being ignored you just _barely_ managed to get _some_ justice for _some_ of the victims after things _finally_ began to change? And then there's all the bullshit every woman who ever speaks up has to go through, including death threats. I mean, people have good reason to be pissed off, and while the anger isn't always right, it's more than understandable.
And even then, there is _still_ the vast majority of women at the forefront of these issues with mostly positive messages: a focus on fixing what's wrong and making things better, rather than simple vengeance against assaulters. Most of the people leading the charge on these issues still maintain a positive outlook and a faith in humanity, despite seeing a constant barrage of reasons to break down in anguish and hatred at all the injustice in this world.
My wording is clunky because I'm writing this while multitasking. Apologues for that.
*Apologies
Everyone always acts like big, muscular black men are the definition of sexual attractiveness, and here I am pretty much only ever seeming to thirst after thin white guys.
...Is my sexuality a racist or somethin'?
@SPOOKY Phil, Ruler of Heck Actually, no. I rarely find glasses attractive, nor other nerdy stuff. I tend to like masculine, muscular white men, but with a thin build and no facial or body hair. I guess I'm just weird.
@Jarko K good luck wit dat.
Dragons are weak to fairy 'cuz they needed to be nerfed. Also dragons always die to mystical swords and shit and fairies are all about magic.
And yet fairies also are weak to steel....

@แด แดแดสสษดษด Spiritomb with Wonder Guard, a focus sash or whatever keeps it from being one-shotted, refresh, aqua ring, toxic, and flash cannon.
@แด แดแดสสษดษด I respect both of those statements. Here's hoping enough people neglect SwSh for GameFreak to rethink its stupidity.
@KyonJ Nah, the only anime I ever watched to completion was DR3. I took a weeb test and failed. I don't qualify for the honor of being a weeb.

I was going to use a pc term for some other minority group, but I don't have a high enough edginess level.
@KyonJ If so, then my sexuality is a white supremacist.
@KyonJ Downloading that one. Gonna make it into a poster and hang it above the entrance to my room.
If one day I get a boyfriend, that poster will probably fix that right quick.

Boyfriend: *Sees sign that says, rather intimidatingly, "OBEY," as he enters the bedroom*
Boyfriend: *Nopes out*
