well thats not the way it is. If it were a perfect world, all aborted children would be raised surogately. Like I said, im not for abortion, but I understand theres circumstances that arise. So im not against it. But there are women who have had multiple abortions, and that should be a crime.

This has NOTHING to do with being "progressive" Its about a woman having rights to her own reproductive organs. This topic is not political. Its about acknowledged and respecting a woman and her rights to her body.

Yeah but no woman has the right to force fatherhood on a man who doesn't want to be a father either.
Heeeey! Well you know what? It's all good. I'm going to start having sex with as many women as I can and I don't even have to take responsibility for the child if she has one.
No. That is not the way either. That is also unfair. Both male and female have to take responsibility.
I think both people have already proven their irresponsibility once an unwanted pregnancy has occured.

The only diffence is one has control of whether it leads to parenthood and the other doesn't as it currently stands.

You seem to be confused.
The pro-life position isn't about men having rights over women's reproductive organs...it's about advocating for rights of all living humans...including unborn humans.
It's a very simple position...
one side advocates for the legal murder of innocent humans...and one is against the legal murder of innocent humans.
I feel comfortable with my position...I don't even have to make any justifications for it or try to dehumanize the unborn human to make myself feel better...that's not the case with people who support abortion.

One of the downfalls of our society in my opinion.

Well correct me if I'm wrong but aren't we all discussing this situation from the the starting point that both decided to have sex. Because if we are talking about rape it's a completely different approach.

Again, this is not about her organs. This is about the child. We are not interested in your vagina.

I am not really sure how you feel it is either. Where is that outlined anywhere other than the growing opinions? I do not see where it is about consensual sex or rape. I thought it was about pregnancy? Pregnancy is something that arises from a variety of situations, not just consensual sex between married partners. Maybe I missed something in the OP.

She had no family, no place to live, no car, no job, no where to go. Had I not been there to drive her to her emergency C-section, my son wouldn't be here right now.
you chose the risk of pregnancy before havin sex. Now you want to choose again? What are we? banks

Well its not a perfect world is it? Life isn't fair is it? So lets stick with reality and the facts of the matter. Its her body her choice. If it was his body, it would be his choice.
Abortions are not a great experience, you don't pose for a picture afterwards so you can look back when your older and say "Yeah, how awesome was that" Im not talking about the rights and wrongs of abortion, im talking about a woman's right to her own body.

You're talking about reproductive rights. That involves a child because without the child there is no issue.
