Abortion - General - Facepunch Forum

[QUOTE=carcarcargo;32448726]Are we really going to start wishing their boyfriend was dead now?[/QUOTE] What? I was simply pointing out that for others, someone living out their life will have good and bad consequences. You can't make an argument like that based on your own interests.

[QUOTE=Mlisen14;32438871]A zygote or even fetus is incapable of being disappointed at not realising its 'potential' much like the sperm you ejaculate in your sleep.[/QUOTE] Really though neither can most toddlers, so it's not a good justification.

[QUOTE=sp00ks;32424758]To everyone who says abortion is murder: Why is murder wrong? I am dead serious. I want to know you reasoning for why murder is bad, and if you say it's because all life is sacred or some shit like that I'm going to slap you.[/QUOTE] Because you are taking someone's life without permission from said person. If they wanted to die and you killed them i'd see nothing wrong with it. By the way i don't think abortion is murder at all, a fetus is not concious or sentient yet, and just because it is going to be a human sometime isn't a good argument, should we treat every sperm cell as life just because it can have a end-result in the start of human development?

The pro-life side on the other hand believes the carries's intentions do not affect the rights of the fetus. If you didn't read my post, go back a few pages before responding.

In early stages of pregnancy abortion is ok, otherwise, nope.

Early pregnancy. If people KNOW they can't look after the baby, it should be aborted before it's too late. Giving it up for adoption isn't a great idea seeing as there's already a shitload of babies and children up for adoption.
