You're talking about reproductive rights. That involves a child because without the child there is no issue.
No, im talking about the MOTHER who actually EXISTS and has FEELINGS and OPINIONS on how a pregnancy would effect her life. Its not rocket science to understand that she's the key to this issue. She is the Ring barer. She is judge and jury. She is GOD because its HER body. Simple really.

Again, this is not about her organs. This is about the child. We are not interested in your vagina.
A little simply biology might help here.
Without my reproductive organs, there is no child to be concerned about. See, it is my reproductive organs that make that child a possibility.

You are right. Well in any case somebody should outline what scenario we are talking about. Because the rules of the game can change drastically depending on it.

The "progressive agenda" has always been mimicking and poking away at a certain group in society. At this point, IMO, saying that the mothers' rights trump a babys' rights, is just prejudice.
Nobody knows when the SOUL officially enters the fetus, and it's futile to even discuss it anyways because this issue isn't abortion, it's selfishness at the core of humanity.
Idiots who can't afford babies and don't appreciate them, breed like rabbits, meanwhile the rest of use slowly become sterile and broke paying for others' "rights"
Responsible and truly progressive people don't even risk the chance of getting pregnant unless they're ready.
Throwing babies in the garbage isn't progressive. We're currently dealing with the overabundance of cats and dogs and putting them asleep for doing whats natural

So basically your ideology is as follows.
1. Both partners decided to have sex with a risk that there is going to be a pregancy. But if there is a pregnancy, it's enitrely the man's fault.
2. And she decides what happens with the baby.
Bottom line. He is responsible for impregnating her. She is not.

The OP did quite well when she started this thread. The problem is that you are unable to counter her points so you need to change the argument to something you have prepared arguments for. This is about female reproductive rights, not married couples.

You are delusional if you think this doesn't involve two other lives. A child is half of each parent.
First you're saying you can hog the kid. Then you're saying the other parent has no rights when the child carries half his genes.
It's there a conscience in there, or is selfishness the status quo?

There is no need for you to restate my position. I have stated it clearly. And it has nothing to do with "fault".
But my position about fault is that for the pregnancy, it lies with both parties. I don't see the point in assigning blame, however. The responsibility for that pregnancy going forward or ending lies with the woman, however, since she is the one pregnant. If the man carried the child, the responsibility (and choice) would be with him.
Bottom line. He is responsible for impregnating her. She is not.
I have not said that. There is no need to restate my position.
Well you seem to have stumbled into the wrong thread because im talking about a woman's right to control her reproductive organs.
Not talking about abortion, talking about a woman's right to control her reproductive organs.
Seriously, abortion is not the focus of this thread.

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.
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 sound happy to treat a woman like a bank - Put in an invest in against her will and withdraw it 9 months later. You think women were put here just for you or something?
