Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Even if we grant you your invalid position, you are still wrong. So close. You claim the unborn person has rights, but so did the mother.
In no legal jurisdiction in the United States is one person ever required to give up their bodily autonomy for another. This the mother, according to your argument, is under no legal obligation to provide the other person, according to your argument, the mothers body for any reason. If the mother wishes to discontinue the use of her body she can. If the other person dies as a result of this decision, the mother bears no responsibility.
This is well understood case law and common law.
GTFO with this terrible argument.
It doesn't matter what the law is. Laws can and should be changed when they're unjust.
You're fundamentally radical and not living on planet Earth that you think this way about pregnancy. It's the product of a degenerate and corrupt life you've lived that has allowed you to justify unjustifiable immorality.
In other words you've burned your conscience to a crisp through your vices.
It's an abominable position you put forward. You are wholly given over to vice and darkness and sin.
Removed, rule 3.

You should repent of your sins. And I'm not a fundamentalist in the slightest despite being Christian.
Painting everyone that disagrees with you as a fundamentalist allows you to dismiss their arguments easily but it doesn't change the arguments. You're still wrong, you've just blinded yourself to it even further by dehumanizing and dismissing your opponents.
By the way it's possible I'm wrong about your character. But I was so shocked by the revoltingness and the disgustingness of your argument that I assumed only a horrible person would make such an argument. Forgive me if I'm actually wrong and you're just erroring in judgment here. But you write as if an unborn child is a parasite on the mother with no right to survive within its mother's body.
As if the mother's actions didn't deliberately create that child. And it's not a parasite. It's a human being. Your argument that a child should be aborted because the mother doesn't want to "lend her body to it anymore", it's so disgusting and immoral, It's just sick. It literally stuns me. I'm not even sure how I can explain and prove to you that that's immoral.
You don't like being called a fundamentalist because you know they are abhorrent.
You don't like your own argument. You can't even stomach the inkling that your own hypocrisy.
Most of my best friends are atheist and agnostics and I'm actually a liberal Christian.
You know how I know you are lying? Because your first reaction to me expanding on your argument was to tell me I am a sinner.
If you treat any of your "friends" that way you are truly a terrible person.
I don't hate you. But your advocating some really messed up stuff. It harms other people. And it makes you unhappy. You've been deceived. You should snap out of it my friend. Question the things you take for granted and open your mind to new possibilities.
Are you familiar with the statistics and the science about this. You know most people that transition go on to live much happier lives. I know I have
Lol. This isn't my argument. This is your argument followed more completely.
You don't even know what my argument is or what my beliefs are. All I have done is point out your own hypocrisy.
I will abort a fetus as a sacrament to Lucifer in your honor. Thank you for your prayers.
I will absolutely dare to tell you how to live your life. And you do the same thing. It's the nature of having moral beliefs. Are you going to say the same thing to someone that rapes their children or murders refugees? Your entire personality as an activist is based around telling other people what they should do with their lives but only when a religious person is in the scenario does that suddenly become invalid.
You're a hypocrite. I am not. You should stop that. Be a better person. And quit advocating for the murder of unborn children because of inconvenience and a skewed belief on bodily autonomy that ignores literally every other factor. As if it exists in a vacuum.
Actions have consequences and I will absolutely advocate for social justice. That includes for those alive and those yet unborn.
