@Val: -hugs back-
Oh, no, we're nowhere near being
sexually active. Heh, I just have
a huuuuge crush on the guy sweatdrop
@Sonic: I'm sorry, but I find it truly
stupid when people try to dictate
what the right or the wrong choice
for others would be. That's up to
each individual to decide.
Also, I find it rather hypocritical
when pro-lifers want to make
abortion illegal because they think
it is murder. No matter how illegal
it is, girls are going to continue
doing it. And if it is against the law,
the places that give abortions are
no going to be completely safe.
Therefore, besides the fact that
the "child" is going to "die", the
mother is in a huge risk of dying, too.
I know I'm not going to be able
to change your mind about whether
a fetus is human or not, but, no matter
how much development is going on,
{to me} it's not a human until it
is born. Then, it can actually breathe
for itself and communicate emotions.
This may sound stupid, but let's use
a metaphor of a cake. You have all
of the ingredients, but those alone
are not a cake. Even when it's in the
oven it's not a cake. No, it's not a
cake until you take it out of the oven
and it is ready to be eaten.
And just because "the child is as much
a victim of rape as the mother" does
not mean that the mother will not have
some sort of feelings of hatred for "the
child." It is a constant reminder of what
was done to her. She's not going to be
thinking "Oh, it's not my baby's fault,
why 'take it out' on him?"
Maybe that's not true for every victim
of rape, but it's certainly true for a lot.
@Breathy: I know! Whoever decided
that kids could start getting pregnant
from as early as twelve or thirteen?
@animegoddess: No offense, but
so what? If the mother chooses
not to go through with a pregnancy,
nobody is going to care whether
the "child" she "kills" is going to
"change the world." The "child" is
dead. That is tru with all
deaths, not just abortion. I seriously
doubt that just because the child's
mother decided not to have an
abortion the kid is going to change
the world. Who knows? The kid
might just grow up to be the next
Bush, or Hitler, or Idi Admin or
Chavez or any other idiot who's
hurt the world. Maybe the child
will grow up to be a rapist like it's
father. Maybe the child will grow up
to get pregnant when it is a teenager
and it will get an abortion. Who
knows? There's just as much chance
of the kid being something bad as
there is of the kid being good. So
the whole "who knows" thing is not
very likely to affect a mothers choice.
@Rexie: I agree. There are so many
other places where people can adopt
a child where it will actually make a
difference.
@Stali: You said it yourself, "the egg
will...become a child." Meaning it's not
a child yet. It's "becoming a living,
breathing thing", but it's not living or
breathing yet. The set time when you
are human is when you are born.
Read what I said to Sonic above.
I didn't mean that it's just a thing. By
saying that it's a "product of rape" I
meant that it's a "human" that resulted
from rape. Of course it's not the "child's"
fault, but it's completely up to the mother
to decide whether she want to go
through nine months of pregnancy or not.
@chaos: In your second post, the first
sentence sounds really pro-choice.
