Abortion is a fundamental human right.

This should not even be a question, their body, their choice. It’s not your child.

But if they are killing another human it is not their choice. I, for instance, do not have the right to use my body to murder a 50 year old. Why should women have the right to kill a child simply because it isn't born yet?

The only reason why this is even a debate is because only women can get pregnant. If men, especially those in positions of power, could get pregnant and have their entire lives inconvenienced or flipped upside down, there would be free abortions nationwide.

Abortion frequently is used when a woman’s health is endangered by a pregnancy.

I wonder what is the percentage of anti-abortionists have given birth. Do they have any ideas what it entails physically, emotionally and financially to go through the process?

Oh course it is.
We have no moral or ethical obligation to risk our bodily integrity to gestate embryos & fetuses against our will. They don’t have special rights that no other individual human being has - the right to use another’s body against their will.

For people who argue for the rights of the fetus, what about the rights of the women? Can't believe this is still a hot button issue in 2021 America.

They have a right to use birth control. Sexually active women should own their body and prevent pregnancy

The right for a woman to kill a human being? I don't think so . . . Nobody, whether man or woman, has the right to murder it is God's will.

Except that the woman is not killing a human being, they are removing what is the equivalent of a parasite- A first trimester fetus.

It is a human being because life begins at conception.

Life does not begin at conception because o new life is formed. The egg and the sperm were ALREADY ALIVE and fertilization is not instantaneous. Nearly 48 hours pass from the time sperm first bind to the outside of the zona pellucida, the human eggshell, until the first cell division of the fertilized egg.

A fetus being or not being human doesn't mean it has any right to a woman's body, and a person doesn't lose their right to deny someone their body because it happens to be a fetus.

What about the fact that the woman was the cause of the baby's existence and if you make a human being you can't kill it.

I disagree. People lose their right to bodily autonomy when they make an active choice in creating the fetus.

A ban on abortion can force people together even if their relationship is abusive and neither of them want to.

Well then we should also not let people go outside because they COULD get mugged and stabbed. All laws are made for the things that could happen wether you like it or not guest 558.

This is a slippery slope fallacy. Just because an abortion ban CAN cause these things doesnt mean they will. If we made laws based on what COULD happen we would not let people drive because they COULD die while doing it.

The number of illegal abortions that endanger women will skyrocket if abortion is banned.

If there is no way to draw an objective line on anything that is not naturally occurring, such as there being no objective line between the notions of good and bad, or good and evil, then how do pro-lifers expect an objective line to be drawn between life and non-life?

Through the use of science. It is explicitly clear through the fields of biology and embryology when a unique individual of the human species is created.

A three-day-old human embryo is a collection of 150 cells called a blastocyst. There are, for the sake of comparison, more than 100,000 cells in the brain of a fly. The human embryos that are destroyed in stem-cell research do not have brains, or even neurons. Consequently, there is no reason to believe they can suffer their destruction in any way at all. It is worth remembered, in this context, that when a person’s brain has died, we currently deem it acceptable to harvest his organs (provided he has donated them for this purpose) and bury him in the ground. If it is acceptable to treat a person whose brain has died as something less than a human being, it should be acceptable to treat a blastocyst as such. If you are concerned about suffering in this universe, killing a fly should present you with greater moral difficulties than killing a human blastocyst. Perhaps you think that the crucial difference between a fly and a human blastocyst is to be found in the latter’s potential to become a fully developed human being. But almost every cell in your body is a potential human being, given our recent advances in genetic engineering. Every time you scratch your nose, you have committed a Holocaust of potential human beings.

A preborn human is not a potential human, but an actual human.
As a very simple test, leave an entity in an ideal environment. If that entity becomes an adult of its species, it is an individual organism.
Sperm cells? No. Skin cells? No. Egg cells? No. Tumor cells? No.
Zygote, blastocyst, embryo, fetus, infant, toddler? Yes.

Ok- but what about rape? If a teenager is raped, and is not in an environment where she can feel safe speaking up, shouldn't she have the right to not keep the baby?

You are saying that killing a person is justified if its conception was an accident? What????
Hi, 32 views, 1 rebuttals, 1

It's justified if the mother doesn't want her bodily autonomy violated.
SubwayRider, 1 views, 0 rebuttals, 0

If the birth control doesn't work then that's still your fault. Say I played ball and I used measures to make the ball less likely to hit someone's window. If it does hit the window after that protective measure then I still need to pay. And if the woman is raped, the baby doesn't deserve to lose it's life because the baby isn't the person who caused the problem and the baby shouldn't be worth less because of how it was conceived.

Even if it is your fault, abortion simply kills a fetus and not a human. Bozo.

At the moment of conception, a new organism has formed from the diploid sperm and egg gametes of the parents. Since this new organism possesses unique, complete DNA that is different to the mother's, it cannot be said to be a part of the mother's body and exists as a separate entity, which is human and biologically no different from anyone else. Since killing innocent human beings is always wrong, and an embryo/fetus is an innocent human being, abortion is always wrong, and therefore cannot be a fundamental human right.

Abortion is morally reprehensible and not a right, as the actions of the parents led to the creation of the fetus, so they do not have the right to kill a unique life with its own genetic code.

So what if it wasn't the parent's fault they got pregnant?

No unless its rape or incest. Anything else you should have been more responsible and you have to live with your mistakes. Double standards are also propelled b y abortion as well.

I think abortion should be available and is good policy. But abortion is not an absolute right; it has to be weighed against whatever rights a fetus may have. The issue should be debated publicly not decided by courts.

It needs to be debated in courts because that is the only way you can form public policy.

A fundamental human right is the right to life. Abortion denies someone the right to life, therefore abortion cannot be a fundamental human right.

But a fetus is not a life, because life is an abstract concept that is open to interpretation. In fact, abortion is analogous to the justice systems. We cannot draw an objective line between good and bad / right and wrong (because they are subjective concepts), but we can still sentence people for what we deem "justice".

Any argument for abortion would logically lead to infanticide and other other atrocities. Either humans have inherent value from their earliest stage, or they don't have value at all.
