It’s fine if you think it’s immoral or amoral. I can’t decide TBH. I think abortion probably can be and has been abused by some in a way that would make me uncomfortable morally. But what is at issue here is if the decision is a woman’s or the state’s, right?

It is absolutely the womans decision.

Fair enough. I’m not trying to question your own morals either. Please accept my apologies if I have made you feel uncomfortable. That really wasn’t my intention.

I think, when I strip it down to basics, that my feeling on abortions are that it is up to the individual in each case. There will be a million different scenarios in play.

What should always be there though, for me, is the right for the woman to choose her own destiny, something which this ruling stops for a lot of American women.

Absolutely Alan, the right is with the woman. There is no dispute from me in that regard. No need to apologise.

You’ve not made a salient post and you are stuck on defending an indefensible restriction on female rights in the 21st Century for religious/outdated constitution*

*delete as appropriate.

Again, I have done no such thing.

That is somewhat nonsensical. Of course they are totally opposed to the slaying of children. It is just that they don't virtue signal about gun control being how one stops lunatics .
Trying to maintain abortion is purely a medical/health issue and not a moral dilemma is the real contradiction here.

Person 1: “We should restrict the sale of assault weapons to reduce the murders of children”

**** 1: “Why are you virtue signalling?”

/end

Now go fuck yourself.

I was just aware that I’d asked why twice without further reference.

If the woman in the predicament has a moral dilemma, then that is hers to solve with her family/doctor/therapist/friends/herself.

This ruling won’t ban abortions, it will create illegal ones that may or may not be medically safe. That’s just not right in this day and age.

In my opinion, of course.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Again, I have done no such thing.

You hide behind the legal process and don‘t give a fuck about the health of women.

It’s entirely possible to be against abortions personally while believing that in a free and democratic society people should be free to think differently and make their own choices.

It’s called “Pro-choice” not pro-abortion” for a reason.

Yeah, but that is a false description. What's at issue here is the choice to abort is a right.. No one is against a woman's choice to have or not have sex, to use condoms, to use IUDs, to demand the men they sleep with snip it or get none, or perhaps time their sexual intercourse to the 20 or so days of the month where it's almost impossible for women to get pregnant.

The ONLY choice at issue with, is the choice of whether there is a right to abort a pregnancy.

Thus, a fair reading of what's at issue is whether you are the pro or anti abortion.

Any other reading is simply sophistry.

They wanna protect the child in the uterus but not in the schools ..... ban guns as children have a right to go to school and not have to think is our school next.

Oh really Dax? It’s called pro-choice because it’s about having the right to choose an abortion?!

Oh thank you so fucking much, none of us could Have worked that out without you.

 

[SWP's back]

Didn't see that. Abortions should never be used as a form of contraception. That is morally so wrong. I would have to question why somebody with a modicum of Intelligence would even suggest that is acceptable.

Simple solution is for you to not have an abortion then. Job done.
