Don't Be Suspicious

How can you have so much compassion for a fetus and yet none for the young woman going through this traumatizing experience?

Try seeing it from the other side and it will make a lot more sense. Sure we have sympathy for the mom. Many of us know how much that stuff sucks. But pain to a woman < death to a child.

I know so many women who have lost children (yes, sometimes multiple) to miscarriages, and it's awful. It's an awful experience for the whole family. And I know even more who have had babies that were stillborn or died less than 24 hours after birth. It's traumatic and shouldn't be worthy of arrest because Alabama can't get its head out of its ass.

And where in the bill did it say that would be a thing exactly?

I guarntee you that if you were in your older teens, you wouldn't.

Really? Try telling that to the many teenagers, adults, and parents I’ve met, one of which who’s had an unplanned/unwanted pregnancy herself, that still believe killing an unborn baby is murder.

Try telling that to the teens who have been raped and needed to carry the baby of the man who violated their body because Georgia can't separate church and state.

That was made to protect the church. Don't misquote it. Also, the baby is not the culprit. If you want to kill the rapist I might be on board. But not the kid.

Here's what I think
It shouldn't matter if you think killing young children is wrong or not. That doesn't mean you should control whether or not a woman has can kill her child with protection from the law and safety to her body. Just because its outlawed doesn't mean killing kids will stop. It just means the mother could be at risk physically and legally.

I redid this to give you a very basic understanding of how a pro lifer would read this in hopes that you might understand.

Well duh.

It is an innocent human being. That's enough for me even if there was nothing else.

its a clump of cells

It doesn't even have all of it's chromosomes yet

Still an innocent human being.

Well duh.

Then why are you punishing the woman, the living, breathing, thinking woman for the "sin of the parent" when she didn't do anything wrong??

Do you understand or don't you? You said you do and yet you are asking questions that suggest you do not understand.

Don't. Change. My fucking. Words.

Okay I'm not over this. Seriously? You have no right to change my words. I've already looked at it through your lens. You don't get to change my words to fit your beliefs so I can "understand'. That was cheap and disrespectful. You changed something I said, and made it emotionally charged against "killing the children". Hard to kill something that isn't medically alive. Don't do this again, to me or anyone.
And you had a grammar error.

Well I honestly don't see what your problem is. Honestly. I'm really sorry about it. I have a hard time understanding certain things. The thing I would be mad about in your shoes would be a misquote because that would be a lie. But I made it obvious they were my words not yours. So what's the problem? Once again, really sorry that I don't get it.

Hey, uh, Dom? What exactly are your requirements for something to be considered an 'innocent human being'?

A being that would be scientifically classified as a human. One that has committed no crime. (Moral or legal.)

Guys. I used to be "pro-life". I know all the points of view. Trust me. I've looked at it the way you've said to look at it. And yet here I am at my decision to be pro-choice.

Also I'm really interested in your mental journey. If you could enlighten me I would be most grateful.

There are many classifications of what life is (according to my research). I have yet to find The One Scientific Definition of Life. All the ones I have seen I find fault with, and many do not match up to each other.

I mean, I've found one or two definitions that support my beliefs but… Yeah. Some do, some don't, it would obviously not work for me to just choose the ones I like.
Don't quote me here but I pretty much think anything that can can reproduce (once it is grown)(barring deformity) is alive.

You are kind of misunderstanding. (All's well though.) There were the two things in parenthesis. If it can reproduce once it reaches maturity barring it having a deformity it is alive.
