Were you not saying that, other than the mother, there are other people in the kid's life who can look after them?Then the baby will die. What a gobsmackingly stupid question.

Once the child is born, that is often the way. But you said "What if there is nobody there", bizarrely. It really didn't deserve an answer but you got one anyway.Were you not saying that, other than the mother, there are other people in the kid's life who can look after them?
You're mistaken. I asked: "What if there are no other people?" See for yourself - check to see what you quoted here:Once the child is born, that is often the way. But you said "What if there is nobody there", bizarrely. It really didn't deserve an answer but you got one anyway.
And, also in the case of the mother being raped, or under the age of consent. Make sure you say everything. Don't just pick out one thing and leave out the rest. We must at least try and be honest, right?@DreamRyderX, I assume that this is total nonsense, and that you make a exception to save the mothers life?
Feigning incredulity doesn't work with me. DO YOU THINK THAT THE VIABLE FETUS OR PREEMIE IS, OR IS NOT A INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE? Stop playing games! YES OR NO!I cannot for the LIFE of me think what I said that made you think that I am saying that!
I appreciate your honesty here. I'm glade you realize that no issue, no beliefs, and no moral truth, is ever in black or white. There will always be exceptions, and there will always be limitations.I admit my inconsistency in that. I just cannot help but think that there is something illegitimate about a life conceived by such an evil act. I cannot bring myself to believe that it's okay to not give a woman the option of erasing this experience from her life, the kid forever being a reminder of it.
I seriously don't know why you think that this is being inconsistent! In this situation, the kid could SUFFER if not aborted!
It's simple! Either you DO believe that ALL unborn lives are innocent, precious, and deserve NOT to be aborted. Or, you DON'T believe that ALL unborn lives are innocent precious, and deserve to be aborted! It would be just hypocritical and inconsistent to believe in both. Either you believe in the ethos of ALL prolife and anti-abortion claims. Or you don't.Including to save the life of the mother?
And when you were doing so well at NOT misrepresenting my words!!! I was ONLY talking about the UNBORN child. You kinda just slipped-in the "born" child. So, no exceptions. But you are correct. Killing a "born" child would be child homicide. This is morally and legally wrong. But absolutely nothing to do with having an abortion, or a woman's choosing to have an abortion.It's none of your business, but yet presumably you agree that it is immoral for a mother to kill her BORN child.
You're mistaken. I asked: "What if there are no other people?" See for yourself - check to see what you quoted here:
It's VERY simple! What if there are no OTHER people - people OTHER than the mother!What the hell is wrong with you? It means the exact same thing!
Seriously, there's no point trying to engage you. You're ridiculous.
adoption agencies around the world are full of children waiting for 'other people' to take them on. Sadly, most remain in the system until they are old enough to get thrown out.It's VERY simple! What if there are no OTHER people - people OTHER than the mother!

Well you said that @DreamRyderX "makes absolutely no exceptions. He would gladly sacrifice any woman's life, to save the life of a pea-sized embryo." And I said that I assumed that this is not @DreamRyderX's position, but that they instead make a exception to save the mothers life. I thought that it was a very safe assumption, given that it is the mainstream pro-life position. However, other exceptions such as rape cannot be assumed as easily. If @DreamRyderX made no exception for rape, but made an exception to save the mothers life, then you still would have grossly mischaracterised their position.And, also in the case of the mother being raped, or under the age of consent. Make sure you say everything. Don't just pick out one thing and leave out the rest. We must at least try and be honest, right?
It is, but that doesn't mean that I think life can NEVER be ended. See: www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolley_problemFeigning incredulity doesn't work with me. DO YOU THINK THAT THE VIABLE FETUS OR PREEMIE IS, OR IS NOT A INNOCENT HUMAN LIFE? Stop playing games! YES OR NO!
I DO believe that ALL unborn lives are innocent, butIt's simple! Either you DO believe that ALL unborn lives are innocent, precious, and deserve NOT to be aborted. Or, you DON'T believe that ALL unborn lives are innocent precious, and deserve to be aborted!
Sure. An unborn life which will result in the mother's death needs to be aborted. An unborn life which is a mere inconvenience to the mother does NOT need to be aborted.The innocent life is NOT responsible for how it was conceived. Therefore rape and consent are moral issues at best. And since many newborn HAVE survived when there was no hope for their survival. it is also a moral issue at best. Saving the unborn child's is the only priority. Even at the expense of the mother's life.
Or, maybe you can tell me why one life needs to be aborted and the other doesn't??
It's none of your business, but yet presumably you agree that it is immoral for a mother to kill her BORN child.
Yes, I'm perfectly aware that you were only talking about the UNBORN child. My point is that if you "play zero role in the child's life", and therefore "play zero role in a mother's decisions" and it's "none of [your] business", then why doesn't this equally apply to a mother's decisions with her BORN child?And when you were doing so well at NOT misrepresenting my words!!! I was ONLY talking about the UNBORN child. You kinda just slipped-in the "born" child.
Yes, you answered it thinking that I was asking: WHAT IF THERE IS NOBODY WHO CAN LOOK AFTER THE KID!What the fuck is wrong with you? Seriously?
Do you think you're asking some important question here?
It's already been answered, stupid as it is, you utter idiot.
The latter.
Oh man, thanks so much for alerting me to my SPECTACULAR screw up! I totally misread that part of the post to which I was replying! Thanks to this forum allowing edits at any time after posting, I was able to change it! It's now: "I DO believe that ALL unborn lives are innocent, butso you don't believe the unborn should be saved then, it's just about you forcing women to live by your rules.
I DO believe that ALL unborn lives are innocent,
DreamRyder is an extreme card-carrying, antiabortionist, prolife fundamentalist, and extreme religious ideologue. He would gladly sacrifice anything, or anyone to justify his own beliefs. IMHO.Well you said that @DreamRyderX "makes absolutely no exceptions. He would gladly sacrifice any woman's life, to save the life of a pea-sized embryo."

Because if the pregnancy was terminated, there would not be any decisions for the mother to be making! Right? Once the unborn is born, it is too late for the mother to decide to abort, right?Yes, I'm perfectly aware that you were only talking about the UNBORN child. My point is that if you "play zero role in the child's life", and therefore "play zero role in a mother's decisions" and it's "none of [your] business", then why doesn't this equally apply to a mother's decisions with her BORN child?
Isn't the survival of the mother, only an inconvenience to the unborn child? There is nothing wrong with the unborn child, right? So why should his life be sacrificed, to save the mother? Should we now add "inconvenience" to your list of exceptions??Sure. An unborn life which will result in the mother's death needs to be aborted. An unborn life which is a mere inconvenience to the mother does NOT need to be aborted.
Unless @DreamRyderX has stated that there should be no exception to save the mother's life, then you are assuming. Simple!DreamRyder is an extreme card-carrying, antiabortionist, prolife fundamentalist, and extreme religious ideologue. He would gladly sacrifice anything, or anyone to justify his own beliefs.

Is this your position?Someone who is pro-choice can accept that a fetus does have a right to life, but that this right is outweighed by the mother’s right to bodily autonomy.
Well I believe that everyone has the right to bodily autonomy, but that has precesily nothing to do with abortion.And, someone who is pro-life can accept that a mother does have a right to bodily autonomy. But that this right is outweighed by the fetus's right to life.
This isn't just the moderate pro-life position, but is in fact the mainstream pro-life position. The next level which I think is quite a bit LESS common, is that there should be no exception for rape. However, the next level which is no exception even to save the woman's life, is VERY VERY VERY fringe! As for incest, again, I don't see why incest between two consenting adults should be treated the same as rape. Incest is much broader than an adult impregnating an underage family member, and in cases where the girl is underage, THEN the exception should be applied.A moderate pro-life position says that all abortion should generally be morally forbidden, EXCEPT in cases where the mother’s life is at risk, or when the pregnancy was caused by incest or rape.
Well you're obviously not aware that there is in fact an exception to save the woman's life. But yeah, it's a CRAZY law, no question. It seems to have been designed specifically to challenge Roe v Wade, deliberately making no exceptions other than to save the woman's life.With extreme prolife defenders, THERE ARE NO QUALIFIERS!!! With this new Abortion law, there are NO justifiable exceptions!
Where's that from?“..the value of human life is not determined by the circumstances of one’s conception or birth.”.
Which is obviously true. It cannot be any other form of life other than HUMAN life.The fetus is a human being from the moment of conception, or at some point during gestation.
It's not about autonomy, it's about the woman being in danger of dying. There's nothing inconsistent about saying that a woman should not die so that the baby can live.The third only excuses the second. Abortion is permissible in pregnancies caused by rape, or the safety of the mother. This means that the right to life of the fetus, is outweighed by any violation, or threat to the woman's reproductive autonomy. This means that life is sometimes not more important than autonomy. Or worse, that life is only more important than autonomy, when autonomy is more important than life. This is INCOHERANT and INCONSISTENT! You just can't have it both ways.
She made the decision to terminate. Is that not the decision that you're talking about which you have "zero role" in?Because if the pregnancy was terminated, there would not be any decisions for the mother to be making! Right?
There is nothing wrong with the unborn child, but there IS something wrong with the mother, and that is that she is at risk of dying. And if she dies, then there will be something VERY wrong with her.Isn't the survival of the mother, only an inconvenience to the unborn child? There is nothing wrong with the unborn child, right? So why should his life be sacrificed, to save the mother?
What a ridiculous question to ask, given that I made myself very clear, saying: "An unborn life which is a mere inconvenience to the mother does NOT need to be aborted."Should we now add "inconvenience" to your list of exceptions??
Christians don't think of it as being GUILTY of original sin, but rather that humans are born into the world WITH original sin.what sort of gooblygook is that? No one has ever said they are guilty of anything. Except for bible bashers, who funnily enough are often the ones opposed to abortion, who don't think they are innocent at all, but guilty of the original sin
Not if the mother has to die.Either they should all be saved or they shouldn't. Agree or not?
we seek forgiveness through baptism BECAUSE we are deemed guiltyChristians don't think of it as being GUILTY of original sin, but rather that humans are born into the world WITH original sin.

I'm not Catholic, but I'm pretty sure they don't believe that salvation/forgiveness of sins happens at point of baptism.I'm Italian ... i've had Catholicism shoved down my throat since birth
