Can't happen to me so I don't give a sh*t.

And to think Oojay thought I was a liberal.

Bumping this for dat controversy.

I definitely lean left on most political and moral subjects, but with abortion I just don't see how it's not considered killing (murder is a strong word that is interpreted by society as such, so I will avoid it's usage).

When you abort, you are partaking in an action that prevents a human being from living. If you had not committed the action, the human being would have lived, and I haven't really seen any sort of compelling evidence that suggests otherwise.

I'm pro-life too, but this is an abortion joke thread.

In December 1999, when attending doctors informed him that his fiance had given birth to a stillborn daughter, Reeves was heard to mutter “The abortions were a lot cheaper than this shit.” He then put on his sunglasses and left in the company of an unknown female.

I don't think anyone considers it not killing. I guess many just feel that sometimes, it's okay to kill a fetus.

Really? Ok, if we can move past that then I will say that I'm undecided as to whether I'm pro-life or pro-choice.

Though I do find it interesting when people say that circumcision should be left up to the decision of the child, but abortion up to the parents is ok. What's the difference there?

The circumcised child will live the rest of its life with mutilated genitalia, but the fetus obviously won't live the rest of its life as an abortee

Fair enough, just some points I've been considering about the controversial subject.

On a more serious note, when there's an abortion, the fetus probably doesn't know what's happening. It doesn't regret its parents decision to abort it. It doesn't reflect on the life it could've had. It's probably not affected by the abortion emotionally. It's just snuffed out. The ones potentially hurt by the decision to abort or not are the parents, so they get to make the decision. They are the ones capable of reflecting on the situation mentally and emotionally so they are the ones who deserve the most consideration from a certain moral point of view.

When there's a circumcision, the one who (potentially) gets hurt is the kid.
