sperm is potential for potential

everything is lol ashna

Okay, what if the zygote impedes on the mother's potential

potential for potential for life = potential for life

As in, the fetus could eventually harm the mother?

Like some sort of pregnancy complication?

ye

what if the mother knows the child has no potential

Yes, both economically, socially, and medically

thomas no

youchie

For example a teen pregnancy has less potential to get the job they want or to continue in their life

You would then be impeding on the mom's potential

Medically yes, if the mother's life is at risk then the fetus would be unviable anyway, and even if you could save the fetus while killing the mother I think that a current life has precedent over potential life

also in cases of rape. billcat, sperm and egg = potential for life right? do you think abortion should be allowed in cases of rape

"Socially an economically?" No, that's just a cheap excuse to absolve somebody of a poor choice with a poorer solution

so you would save a potential life by killing a already living human

So, then by saying "current life has precedent over potential life" it would be morally wrong to force a mother to have a child which would ruin her current life for a potential of life

I'll start by responding to ashnaa, Once we can agree on the vast majority of abortion cases, then we can address each outlier group

To thomas, I literally just said the opposite

wait what, sorry my english bad

we're not going to agree

GG @ashnaa, you just advanced to level 7!

And to Komrade, nobody is forcing the mother to keep the child?

You're saying they shouldn't get an abortion

So, they'd then need to keep the child or put them up for adoption or a foster home. All of which end poorly

No, because ending a life because it might harm your economic status is immoral to my view

GG @Billcat, you just advanced to level 10!

Uhm, no? That doesn't really make much sense.

billcat, imagine you are pregnant, and you giving birth can mess up your life and ruin your dreams. would you still abort

For one, foster care has literally nothing to do with giving a baby up. Foster care only steps in when CPS has ruled a mother is unfit in caring for the child

https://prospect.org/article/adoption-not-solution-poor-children

the adoption and foster system are currently messed up. if you were trying to get an abortion in the first place, you probably wouldn't be able to provide a safe and loving home to your child.

So the whole "foster care" argument is incredibly nonsensical, as it coninflates two issues.

and yeah anyways foster and adoption are both NOT alternatives to abortion

adoption takes away your role in the baby's life AFTER it is born. not your role in it before it is born, AND during child birth

So, what is your alternative to aborting the baby prior to it being born @Billcat
