But that's a point of contention that you and Tzor are never going to agree on. Yelling your opinion at him certainly isn't going to do jack or shit to change his mind.violence in the media wrote:Again, those reasons and justifications are totally acceptable because fetuses aren't people and don't matter in comparison to the wants and needs of the woman carrying them.tzor wrote:Frank, you are the one in fucking hell, and you should fucking know better. You cite a single case as though it was the fucking norm, as though all late term abortions are done on brain dead or already dead fetuses.
Late-Term Abortions are Never Necessary: Former Abortionist
Referring to a statement by Ron Fitzsimmons, executive director of the National Coalition of Abortion Providers, who admitted in 1997 that the vast majority of partial-birth abortions were performed on healthy mothers and babies, Dr. Davenport explains that "contrary to the assertion of abortion rights supporters that late- term abortion is performed for serious reasons, surveys of late abortion patients confirm that the vast majority occur because of delay in diagnosis of pregnancy. They are done for similar reasons as early abortions: relationship problems, young or old maternal age, education or financial concerns."
Shit -- I'm not convinced a fetus that's viable outside the womb doesn't have some basic rights. And to be entirely clear what I mean by viable: If the fetus is healthy and could survive as a normal infant.
But again, my opinion is that my opinion doesn't fucking matter. It's not my body, it's the mother's. I don't get a say, you don't get a say, Tzor doesn't get a say. The mother, based on the advice of her doctor(s), is the only one.
