    And you're smart enough to explain why you think so.

    Thankfully your opinion only counts for "Jack" and "Shit", and Jack left town.

    If it ain't born yet, it ain't a baby. It's a fetus or a zygote.

    While I personally don't feel abortions should be completed beyond the second trimester, it's every woman's right to abort a fetus if she wants. It's her body, she makes the decision. Fuck you if you think otherwise.

    Thanks for your input, Dr. Venkman.

    Hey, I think someone just spotted a Class 5 Full Roaming Vapor at the public library. Better hop into Ecto-1 and go check it out. Reports claim it was carrying a Ouija board. Better hurry!

    The primary goal of rapists is to hurt, shame and ultimately dominate women.

    What's more hurtful, shaming and dominating than having to carry around the child of the man who raped you? What gives a rapist more dominion over a woman than leaving her with a constant, living reminder of his attack?

    Apparently, it's only not-okay if hired goons of the state paw at a man's body.
    A white man's body.

    Unless you're the daughter of some theofascist assbag. Then you will serve your time as an indentured incubation chamber and you will like it!
    :Pope: :beck:

    Ah, but there's an escape clause in there. She's pregnant, so there's no way she could be innocent. She's a dirty little hoor, trying to evade the just and proper punishment that is a baby.

    Oh, you have to be someone who considers all available options before acting foolishly. Yes, I agree.

    Sorry, I had to convert it from douchebaggery before I could reply. I'm not fluent, but I know enough to get by.

    "Well, on the one hand, I like babies. On the other hand, who am I to say you shouldn't be able to kill yours?"

    Here we have an example of Volpone's thought processes. You'll note the lack of nuance, consideration, and detail. For Volpone, these things are not needed, as they get in the way of air flow.

    Pretending sophistication as an excuse to kill babies is despicable.

    But forcing a rape victim to carry and deliver the child of her rapist, or forcing an ill woman to carry the child that could kill her, or forcing the low-income woman who's married and on birth control that failed and can't possibly afford another child...that's all hunky dory, yeah?

    Speaking of despicable.

    You believe considering options to be a pretense of sophistication?
    And so we have yet another example of Volpone's thought processes. Congratulations, sir, you're the Snooki of Wordforge.

    I like your slippery slope there. "What about if someone was raped? Would you force them to have the baby? How about if they could die because of pregnancy complications? Would you deny them an abortion? How about if they decided they didn't really want it?" :marathon:

    It isn't like Zeus or the Holy Ghost or something is out, running around, knocking up poor people.

    Are you of the "sins of the fathers" persuasion? Because you are arguing that a child has no right to live because of what his father did.

    Are you really sure you want to go there?

    I know that you prefer hyperbole to logic, but the logical hole in your reasoning is excessively gaping, even for you.

    Both of those propositions are false, and easily demonstrated to be so.

    "Considering options"?! "CONSIDERING OPTIONS"?!

    "Well let me think. :hmm: On the one hand, it is killing a baby. On the other hand it would make my life so much more convenient! :cool: "

    Despicable.

    Yes, they are, hence why I used them. The more vocal opposition on each side likes to go as far to the extreme as possible, in order to paint their opponents as inhuman monsters. It tends to work, unfortunately.

    You have no other setting than "obnoxious and hyperbolic" do you?

    No, I'm arguing that the rapist has no right to impose his genetic legacy like a rutting ape in a society that clams to be civilized.

    When the technology exists for you to put your martyr-y morality into proper practice, by implanting these rape-children into your colon, knock yourself out.
