Wouldn't the obvious solution to the abortion debate be legalization and defunding? Those who abort will have to face the consequence of their own actions, and those who are against it will not have blood on their hands, knowing they weren't forced to fund something they fundamentally disagree with. Everyone wins, except the corporations, politicians, and grey suited bureaucrats that use our own social tension against us.
Wouldn't the obvious solution to the abortion debate be legalization and defunding...
You see, that kind of thinking is what gets you killed. It’s not a fight for fetus rights, it’s a fight for “me tribe better den u tribe!”
Yes man, thank you. That's what i'm saying. Everyone says "live and let live" but the moment our TV's give us the green light, it's back to this spectator sport mentality. Literally everyone is being exploited, and we are too busy fighting each other to realize how bad we are ALL getting fucked.
Nothing we can do about it. Just do whatever you want, but keep it quiet.
Ain't that the truth
All this abortion shit, and how women feel constitutionally violated... remind me how this is suddenly a shocker to everyone all of a sudden?
The only good thing to aborting is the fact that it slows down overpopulation.
God loses
Not really in comparison.
Raising children has some pretty big factors involved, but money is one of the most notable. Would you rather fund a much cheaper abortion or 18 years of government assistance? The people who use these services are people trying to keep their life on track and living with that decision hurts a lot of people. Most women do this out of necessity and not because its easy or convenient.
That’s why I said slow, it’s very slow.
Stop making sense, the raging morons will hear you and get angry!
Factz
Abortion is low cost, child care is high cost. All gub' money.
Why is this an argument even? If anything the cost benefit is landing for legalization and defunding. In any case though gub' is overstepping in a big way.
I live in the amazing state of CA and allot of American born Mexicans use children as paychecks from the government. Typically with 3 children single moms. If they were to honestly get an abortion they would get one if it was subsidized or not. It is called a pregnancy test and plan B.
>No exceptions to rape or incest
Wellllll if you don't want to get pregnant and not have to deal with retards and their political genius train of thought...
Equip yourself with pic related.
And that means what? Edge cases of abuse dont disqualify the wide spread benefits and long term benefits of offering said service.
Because who doesn't love walking around with something inside them?
>what are tampons, alex.
Alabama new law
>Wouldn't the obvious solution to the abortion debate be legalization and defunding?
Muh gubrmint doesn't pay for abortions.
Well, yeah, got me there. Same with Missouri following footsteps.
And Ohio, and Georgia. It's about getting the state sued and getting the case in front of the Supreme Court so they can reverse Roe V. Wade now they got Party Boy on the panel.
1970's all over again. So I guess it's true, we're doomed (as a country) to repeat history, time and time again, as if we willfully forget the past
All this was argued, and won, in roe v wade back in the 70s. Its all a ploy now to get it back to the supreme court again. And since most of the senate is rep. now they hope it will pass and go through.
What pisses me off about this is just BC you don't AGREE with someone else's choices the bottom line is that its THEIR choices not yours. You don't know the full extent of the situation, the emotional and physical distress that comes with or without having a kid. Its a bunch of men choosing what a WOMEN should do with her body and what's best for HER. That IS taking away a fundamental right .
And passing this law brings up alot of other unanswered questions about other laws.
So a fetus is its own person.ok. it has human rights.
So if a pregnant woman is in jail, are u holding that other life in there against its will?
If an 11 yr old gets raped and pregnant (some girls get their period as young as that) she can't abort it...so does that make her an 'adult'....?
She can have a child since she buy cigarettes and alcohol?
See what I'm saying?
Also, people that DO come forward with rape,half the time these rapist aren't getting sentences. They get off easy and arnt even being accountable for what they have done. It makes me sick to see what is happening. And yet alabama and all these states passing this law says you have to 'come forward' with rape before you know you are pregnant or not to even be 'considered' to have an abortion. what kind of ass backwards thinking is that?!
If women have to be accountable for getting pregnant,so should the men that got them that way. It takes two to make a child. Child abandonment should be illegal like abortion then.
>legalization and defunding?
basically you're saying the "right to murder unborn babies" is a commercial product.
>Wouldn't the obvious solution to the abortion debate ...
The solution won't come from Yea Forums. We solve problems like 'grandpa needs a fun birthday', and 'how do we close a virtual pool'.
Why wouldn't you immediately go to the police as soon as you've been raped? Why does it matter that the rapist ends up getting convicted or not? I get that it might be uncomfortable to talk about but christ, a severe crime was committed against you, report it. Furthermore, only 1.5% of abortions is attributed to rape or incest. Why should issues with the justice system have any impact on the 98.5% of abortions that never involve law enforcement to begin with?
Blah blah blah, what does it matter? It’s about time we get back to telling women what they can and can’t do with their bodies.
DEMOCRATS WANT FREE ABORTIONS FOR ALL SO IT'S FAIR.
REPUBLICANS WANT TO STOP ANYONE FROM GETTING ONE , PERIOD.
SO NO.
Unless you find a doctor who is willing to constantly perform abortions free of charge, they will never be free. I'm not paying for your mistakes, but you are free to do as you please. I am willing to put money toward dangerously underage (or other health implications) and rape pregnancies, not "oops I forgot a condom oh well lol" pregnancies because someone wants to be a slut. Abortions are not free, even if you force other people to pay for them.
I MEAT DEMOCRATS WANT TAXPAYERS TO PAY NOT DOCTORS TO DO IT FOR FREE DUMBASS. WHAT YOU WANT IS WHAT YOU WANT, BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU WANT.
Half the time police don't believe or do anything about it. Women have been shamed and ostracized when they do come forward. And if the police take them seriously it still gets the blame turned on them by the phrases 'well what were you wearing?' Or 'you shouldn't have been drinking' or some other bs to take the blame off of. Men. Instead of teaching our boys to respect women and not act certain ways , we teach our girls and women how to be safe in situations and to protect ourselves. Its a good thing to teach, but the other half needs work.
And also, I get it a low percentage of rape that the abortion accounts for but your right. Why SHOULD issues like that with the justice system have to be involved with abortions in the first place.
It should be And STAY separation of church and state! What someone does with their own bodies is their own business between them,their doctor, and GOD , if you believe in a higher power. Not YOU or anyone else's business.
Your solution will just lead to more poor babies and less rich babies.
Just admit that you're ugly and your girlfriend doesn't want your baby. God...
>implying that's enjoyable
>implying they're not used out of necessity
Stop being an idiot for the sake of your argument.
Tax payers pay for welfare. What costs more? Do you think most people having abortions are gainfully employed?
It's real easy. Instead of showering and posting about it on /r/TwoXChromosomes, just walk straight into the nearest police station and subject yourself to a medical exam, done. Now the police have all the evidence they need to convict your rapist. The reason alleged rape victims aren't always believed is because sometimes there is absolutely 0 evidence to back up their claims.This is not a problem that's exclusive to female rape victims, this applies to any report made for any crime. Rape is a crime, and it's held to the same standard as every other crime, nothing more, nothing less. Boys know that it's not okay to rape, literally everyone does. Rapists do too.They rape because they don't give a shit about laws and morals, not because they think rape is okay. This is why it's completely reasonable to teach caution against rape
And again, all of this only matters to less than 1.5% of all cases (less because not all incest is rape). Even if men never raped or law enforcement always took the woman's side that would still leave 98.5% of abortions that are being performed on women who simply don't feel like having a child, a significant portion of whom lives with a male partner and wasn't using any form of birth control when they got pregnant. People have rights, but also responsibilities. If you willingly and knowingly allow for a chance to become pregnant and let it stay inside of you for several months, at which point it becomes a human body that is distinctly separate from your own, why would you not have any responsibility towards it whatsoever? If you are allowed to kill it at two months, why would you no longer be allowed to kill it at 4, 5, 10? Should women just at no point be expected to take responsibility for the actions they take? Very empowering.
That's exactly the situation we had before this current mess. You don't seem to have any idea what the debate is actually about. One side, for a number of reasons wants it illegal. They will not be happy until it is impossible to obtain an abortion in the USA. The other side wants abortion to be legal. They will not be happy until it's easy to obtain a legal abortion everywhere in the USA. There is no middle ground. Compromise is impossible. The only solution is changing people's minds so that we're all on one side or the other.
These days it's increasingly prudish religious women pushing this. My mother is one of them. They're slut shaming each other. Their view is that other women need to keep their legs shut and that if they don't then they're dirty whores who should put the kid up for adoption. They feel that it's not their problem if a woman can't afford prenatal care and to give birth in a hospital because she knew she might get pregnant when she had sex. If it was truly about controlling women then there wouldn't be rape exceptions. They allow the rape exception because they think all rape is strangers violently attacking women and that doesn't let them view these women as slutty and deserving of punishment.
They understand it's the woman's choice. They don't view the choice as being whether or not to keep the baby. They view the choice as whether or not to have sex. They see any sex outside of marriage and not strictly for procreation as making you dirty, less of a person, and not much better than someone who strangled their neighbor. Since the act is the same in their minds why wouldn't they act like there's just as much of a moral obligation to heavily punish abortion as there is to heavily punish murder?
This is actually worse than in the 70s because back then you could convince sexist men that allowing abortion was good for them too. You can't talk people out of prudishness.
We used to solve those problems. Now the only problem we solve is a lack of anything new to masturbate to.
>legalization and defunding
Nigga wut. It isn't subsidized to begin with, and it's currently legal unless you live in MAGAland. Also it resolves nothing because those against it will never stop being against it for any rational reason.
Because it's about slut shaming. You can't slut shame rape victims anymore so they get a pass but the rest of them have to suffer through the pregnancy. It's the same reason people used to disown their pregnant teenage daughters or force them to move away until they give birth and put the baby up for adoption. They were ashamed their teenage kids were having sex and everyone would know it.
Try hanging up your pepe hat and talking to a woman about this at some point in your life, you might learn something about human feelings.
this
why would there be exceptions? If you believe a child is a human being. Not really on either side of the debate frankly, but why would the left side of the argument expect the other side to think it's ok to kill someone innocent if they were raped or banged their brother. And let's be frank, it's not like this country could get much dumber so bang away west va.
You can be the biggest slut in town and fuck hundreds of guys and never get pregnant. Half of all abortion patients weren't using any form of birth control when they got pregnant. Most pro-lifers don't care if you use birth control, so how can you claim that it's an anti-slut measure?
Underrated post
>you must be a sad virgin if you don't understand muh feels
Classic.There is nothing uniquely hard or traumatizing about rape that victims of other violent crimes don't experience as well or that only a woman could understand.
Rape is a horrific and traumatizing event. Even just having to think about it long enough to tell the police what happened can trigger mental breakdowns. Would you feel good about letting strangers in your house right after you got robbed? Hell no. Your security just got violated. You aren't going to trust it won't happen again for a while. Why would a rape victim whose body just got violated be comfortable with letting anyone near her vagina? In order to collect the evidence from her they have to carefully examine her groin for tears and bruises. Then they have to stick a q tip on her to try to get a sample of the guy's semen. Then they often refuse to look at that evidence for decades and they refuse to prosecute because "it's not fair to ruin a man's life over something so old.
The real reason women aren't believed is that many times they realize they aren't strong enough to successfully fight back and if they resist being raped they'll just get injured for no reason. When witnesses say they didn't scream for help, their vaginas aren't torn, and the rapist claims it was consensual it starts to look a lot like they're falsely claiming rape because they regret having sex.
??? there's plenty of unique trauma about rape that victims of MANY other crimes don't experience as well. Rapists are statistically more often people the survivor knows, which has a much greater potential for further emotional and personal life interference than getting mugged at gunpoint by a stranger. What a slovenly, ignorant person you are.
By this logic, murder should be legal in any case, because it only needs to be justified by the potential trauma of not murdering. How dare the government interfere in my personal vendetta against my upstairs neighbor who clomps around all the time?
Obviously, we have laws against murder because we recognize the natural human right to life. Thus, if a developing child in the womb is a human, which it undeniably is, then it also has a right to life. The restrictions have nothing to do with women's choices or bodies. It's all about the inability for the government to allow the wrongful taking of innocent life.
If someone would hurry up and invent artificial wombs, this whole abortion debate could be sidestepped, but that's probably over a century away.
They don't care if you use birth control with your spouse but you'd better believe they care if you're using birth control when you aren't married. They view it as a license to be a whore. Colorado started paying for IUDs a few years ago so they didn't have to pay for so many kids on welfare. It saved them money and cut the number of abortions but most Republicans there are still fighting against it because they claim it's just paying for other people to have sex.
Many churches (I was in one) teach all their teenagers that birth control is a lie and it doesn't really work so the only way to avoid getting pregnant is to never have sex
if abortion is made legalized or less stigmatized, then CRISPR and other fetus experimentation or gene manipulation should be legalized as well, to help cure disease or create designer or 'custom' babies.
this'll really test these abortionists, if they wanna kill babies because they aren't desired, then we'll edit them and see how they react.
Yeah, sex has some very unique emotional aspects to it. Not that the virgins here would know anything about that.
If you stopped funding abortion they would want it on their health care. You can't push the idea that these lunatics will want to push for it to be funded regardless.
The way you resolve the abortion problem is simple. A three step process that doesn't take a lot of brain power.
1. Make abortion legal (I would never do it, honestly, but other's might).
2. If a woman gets pregnant she can abort the baby without the consent of the biological father
3. If she decides to keep the child the man can sign a document excluding him from any obligation. Child support... etc... everything and cannot be held accountable for anything and the woman has no say if he should or not.
You know what happens when you do that? Women know that if they have unprotected sex and they get pregnant they will be on their own. They will be more careful about who they have sex with. Hence, not be such whores and would prefer a man to be there with her (aka having a real relationship).
Men can still try to bang and knock them up if they want, but women will have the choices of if they do or not because it's 'their body' etc etc (which I don't believe).
So yeah, all of these people paying child support would cease to pay child support and the women will be more careful so they don't turn into pieces of shit.
