[QUOTE=sp00ks;30467043]You have a very weird idea of what constitutes a human being. A fetus that is only a couple of weeks old is not really a human being. It might become one on day, but so might all the semen you waste by masturbating.

a child is a child when it develops a brain and sentience, a potential human is not a human
[QUOTE=Last or First;30464354]You don't know anything about abortion, do you.
I mean, if you think a late term abortion is "mercilessly slaughtering a living child", then... well, again, you don't know anything about abortion.
1. Women don't get abortions at the drop of a hat. It's an incredibly invasive procedure, is very emotional, and not something that anyone would do without thinking about first. Which is why they think about it first. Ergo, not 'merciless'.
2. Unless if she's getting an abortion a week before before the baby is due (in which case I'm pretty sure it would just be simpler / saner / much more likely that she gets a c-section), aborting a fetus is not the same as stabbing a baby.
Also, I'm tempted to ask why your ex broke up with you. It's not like it's any less relevant than arguing about custody suits and going back and forth about "75%" "nuh-uh" "yah-huh" "nuh-uh" "yah-huh" for eternity. And you did mention that she had an abortion 'without your permission'.
You don't have to, though.[/QUOTE]
When women get abortions they don't look like this

It looks more like this

They're just a clump of cells at that point.

Every article talking about abortions seem to have a picture of a woman heavily pregnant which is really misleading.

[QUOTE=Meller Yeller;30464355]Incest victims? How does that work?
I mean they obviously weren't raped or had it forced on them or they would be in the other category which means the sex was voluntary so how are they a "victim"?[/QUOTE]
It's often someone older with authority who takes advantage of a boy or girl without them realizing it is a bad thing.

you can't pass a law on the premise of "WELL IN MY OPINION"
how about, life starts when you are a conscious being outside of the womb?

your views aren't equal.
You're just arguing this all out of emotionality so who cares anyways.

A lot of times it's like a father who has sex with their 8 year old girl.
It's not like two mentally stable 20-somethings going at it.
wouldn't that count as rape anyway?
I'm not really familiar with rape laws but whatever

I really hope you realize what you want to do isn't right. I get that you had a girl pregnant, and she had an abortion without your say so, I get that this hurts and is a difficult set of feelings to deal with. But that doesn't mean the man gets any say over the woman's body just because of a few drops of sperm. . That's her right, as it should be, because your body isn't connected to the fetus, is it? The Fetus isn't a person until it's left the mother, until then it's an elaborate parasite. The woman is who has control of the baby when its in HER body. You don't get a say over that, why should you? You don't have to endure anything. Just because you gave genetic fluid to her doesn't mean you get any say in what goes on in her body.
You know man, this is why I can't stand it when people argue from emotionality, it's irrational, and it gets you nowhere.
If pretty much any GOP candidate gets elected, the US is in serious trouble.
Where the hell do people get these ideas from...
[QUOTE=yawmwen;30464319]the father has control over the child until it is born(and after), the woman cedes that control when she wants to murder it.

because its a solid logical interpretation and there is no way you can come to a factual conclusion with the data provided so interpretation is all you can do[/QUOTE]
hold the phone right here, can you explain why the father gets control over the fetus that's in a woman's body? also nice job misapplying the term 'murder'

A child develops a brain long before it can use it.

What's his contribution to the period in which she's pregnant? Zero. Nothing. All the work comes from the mother, why should he be the one that's in control?
On a sidenote, I bet there's a few incredibly jealous moles who would like to talk to yawmwen about his hole-digging abilities.

il agree with that, the father should pay for all the medical procedures and any nutrition above and beyond the norm the father wants her to consume(as well as what the "mother" wants to consume). he should also provide "comfort" items as well, such as maternity clothes.

Please explain how fact, something which by definition is the exact opposite of subjective, is subjective. I assume you're going down the 'what we consider fact is determined by our perception of the world' route, but that does not make fact subjective, it simply means that what people consider to be fact can actually be wrong.

Well damn, your logic is just gonna keep circling itself.
By the way, fact is not subjective. Fact is objective or subjective.
Subjective facts are based on interpretation or opinion and is mostly used for things like music and art.
Objective facts are based on solid scientific or mathematical data and is unbiased.

So if I were to believes that being hit by a car would not harm me, then that would be fact within my perceptive universe? The only way that can be true is if if I were actually hit by a car and were not harmed, and obviously I would be. Regardless of any philosophy, the simple fact is that believing you are invincible does does make it so.
