Your beliefs on Abortion...

I appreciate your position. But do you think that the potential future feelings of a viable fetus (which would be a child if outside the womb) might should matter at least a little bit? Does it make you feel at least a little bit funny to consider a viable human as disposable property?

How I feel about it doesn't matter in either case.  It's up to the woman.  It's her body, including the pregnancy.  I have no right to impose my feelings on her.

As far as feeling "a little bit funny" about considering humans as "disposable property" yes I do.  In fact, I feel that way frequently whenever I consider US government policies -  both foreign and domestic - that result in "collateral damage".  In those cases part of the responsibility is mine.

But in the matter of abortion, I think it's up to the involved woman. It's not for me or anyone else to force or coerce her into a deciding one way or the other.

If we as a society want to reduce or eliminate abortions we need policies that 1) minimize unwanted pregnancies and 2) provide all required support to a woman who chooses to give birth.

Yes. If your feelings on abortion “don’t count for squat,” it’s seemingly counterintuitive to proceed to share those feelings. Specifically, you maintain that because you are not a woman, your feelings on abortion don’t substantively count. However, that expression amounts to a “feeling about abortion.” Yes? 

I’ll give you a chance to explain yourself if you’d like to clear things up. Please, the floor is yours....

***For the record, here is the “non-abbreviated” post:

“Not being a woman - much less one with an unwanted pregnancy - my feelings on abortion don't count for squat.

I believe it's up to the involved woman, period.”

I didn't say I didn't have "feelings" about abortion, I said they don't count. 

  Specifically, you maintain that because you are not a (the) woman, your feelings on abortion don’t substantively count. Correct

However, that expression amounts to a “feeling about abortion.” Yes? No.  It simply states that I believe it's up to the woman involved to act on HER own feelings instead of MINE. 

I’ll give you a chance to explain yourself if you’d like to clear things up. Please, the floor is yours....

There is no contradiction in what I posted.  There is nothing to "clear up".

In fact, there's not even ambiguity in saying "my feelings don't count, it's up to the involved woman".

You’re trying to clear it up, so thank you for at least doing that.

So admittedly, you “feel” that abortion is up to the woman involved (as opposed to the man involved, or the State, or all/some of the mentioned), while at the same time maintaining that your “feelings” on abortion don’t mean jack squat. Doesn’t make much sense Homer.

I cannot imagine that you think your feelings on children/child rearing don’t mean jack squat either - because you’ve never parented any.

Obviously I disagree with your opinion on numerous grounds. One of those grounds is simply that the opinion works against itself. Secondly, there’s not really any support for the proposition you assert. Abortion has never been left to the woman involved, in the sense that all other interest/opinions/feelings “don’t mean squat.” To the contrary, the State, for example, has an interest in every abortion (such that the SCOTUS flat out rejected the rigid trimester framework first expounded in the 1970s). Essentially, the basis of your opinion is not supported by precedent (precedent actually works against it) - to your credit, you aren’t arguing that it does have such support.

It makes perfect sense: My feelings don't matter.  I believe its solely up to the woman. That's a perfectly logical position, so stop trying to twist it into something I didn't say or mean. 

So, I am not "trying" to "clear it".  There is nothing to "clear up".  Your inability to comprehend a logical position is your problem, not mine.

I cannot imagine that you think your feelings on children/child rearing don’t mean jack squat either - because you’ve never parented any.

I really don't care what you can or cannot imagine, nor are your imaginations regarding my child raising capabilities relevant to this discussion.

I don't care if you agree with my opinion nor about the "grounds" for not doing so.  I am not trying to convince anyone of anything. I stated my position and you can either agree or not as you will.  Doesn't matter to me.

Furthermore, I couldn't care less what your position is on abortion. 

I posted on this thread against my better instincts because I feel discussions on abortion are the ultimate exercise in futility.  I just wanted to register my opinion and leave it.

Thanks at least for confirming my instincts.

Your position is moot, by your own admission. I suggest you abandon it.

[DKW 86 7,424]

Have you ever noticed that some that support abortion are dead set on dehumanizing the baby. Fetus: clump of cells, means nothing...
Only woman matters: again, baby has no value to offer or to even be considered. 

The problem with ALL that kind of thinking is that the baby of course does matter. Please name one action or crime if you will where we reject any notion of "victim" from the victim? This does sound like the centuries old diatribe about race. You know where the other race is dehumanized so that the oppressor can then get away with doing the unthinkable. You know, where whole races are derided into being less than human.After all, humans being deserve rights and the right to live above all others. But those:

Dear Humanity,

All these folks, that are less than human, its perfectly okay to take their rights away from them. So just call all those that are too little as to be considered a name, dehumanize them, make their suffering not so bad. Then you can convince X% of the Idiot population and maybe even some fo the educated folks as well, to go along with all those horrible ideas of yours. 

Lovingly,

A. Hitler

People say down with planned parenthood, but they don't understand that abortion is a small percent of what they do.  When I graduated Auburn, I wasn't making anything, so my wife and I relied on planned parenthood for some of her health needs.

My wife is a rape survivor, with a child the result.  She chose to keep the child, and we couldn't be more blessed with that decision several years later.

However, it's just that...it's the woman's decision.  Quality of life of the child, life long disabilities/illness, incest, rape, etc.  I, as a man, have no right to apply my beliefs, etc. on the matter.

Good on ya, KP. I'm very sorry for the trauma that your wife and I'm sure you have dealt with but I'm very happy that you have made such a wonderful family together.

So let me get this right... Kenny and his wife did the right thing, WE ALL KNOW IT WAS THE RIGHT THING, and kept the baby. 

So why are we even discussing this? We should all do the right thing. The Good Thing.

I have learned now what I didn’t realize then. Abortion is NOT just about the woman. Abortion is something that affects many people. Yes, it affects the woman; but it also affects the man involved, the extended family, and of course, the child growing in her womb. I saw abortion as something that was very one-sided…now I am able to see it as an issue that affects multiple people; multiple lives.

Abortion also affects your life as a clinic worker.

You are witnessing things that are permanently damaging your mind. You are saying things to yourself and others that you will never be able to get out of your head. You will dream about the work you are doing and what you have seen. It will not go away…not until you receive real healing.

Healing is what you will need, but it can happen.

Healing can happen, but it won’t until you take that first step and leave. I know it is scary. I know you may feel secure there. You may be a single mother, or you may depend on the insurance benefit…whatever your reason is, there is something better. You have to trust in yourself and know that you are better than the work you are doing now. NO ONE GROWS UP WANTING TO HAVE AN ABORTION. NO ONE GROWS UP WANTING TO WORK AT AN ABORTION CLINIC. Follow your real potential. Let us help. Let me help. Contact our ministry through ‘And Then There Were None’ and we can help you get out.

I'll just stop.

You can google the

"PP Counsellors as Car Salesmen."
"Pressure to steer clients only to abort."
"PP doesnt do prenatal nor cancer screenings."

"PP reprimanded employee for handing out vitamins."

Was it the right thing because it worked out and we are happy?  What if the baby turned out deformed and miserable for life?  What if the baby turned out gay?  That seems to be a big deal for a lot of people...(she is gay btw).

Had she made the other choice, you could easily say it was the right choice because it was forced on her... literally.  And if that was the choice that day, we would have a completely different life and know nothing of what the present holds for us.

In the end, it is the woman's right to choose and burden to bare.

Sorry man. I am very happy for you two. But your baby is precious. Gay or straight, etc. It is more than just a woman choosing. There are two lives there. And there are more lives involved.

They acted based on their own choice and I support their right to make that choice.

He supported his wife in that decision - which would be a difficult thing for a man to concede to for the obvious reasons.  It certainly would have been for me.   But he supported his wife anyway.  That's why he's a mensch.

It may not have been everyone's choice to keep the baby but it was theirs.  Whether or not someone else thinks that was the only "right thing" to do is irrelevant.

It’s about choice! If you don’t like abortion try to encourage more people to choose birth. Be an influence on that choice then celebrate your victories. You won’t have ANY OPPOSITION! No person is encouraging strangers to have abortions. Just don’t try to force it through law.
