Overturning Roe V Wade

[Trailblazer]

There is properly no single real reason. That is the first thing you have to consider. The second is if you believe it is a real reason or if you know. If you know, belief won't do it.

Of course reasons vary but the common thread that runs through it is that they don't want the baby.

I am not judging anyone. I only have a personal opinion, as do you.
The real reason I am on this thread is because I received posts to answer.

So someone made an @Trailblazer? Okay, but why bring real in to it if it is all opinion?

 

[Trailblazer]

Then real doesn't apply.

I think real does apply but probably only God knows the real reason.

Maybe there are different reasons for that, you know different real reasons.

I don't know that real reason because I am not God. All I have is a personal opinion.

You do that a lot. You claim what sounds like a fact, and then you switch to opinion, when pressed for evidence. Just be honest. Most women do it for a bad reason in my opinion.
Then I can answer I have another opinion and then it is over.

 

[Trailblazer]

Of course there are different reasons and I don't know the reasons.
But regardless of the reasons the question is what individuals can do about a government decision.

So you don't know if you posted at first in this thread by yourself or if someone made an @Trailblazer ?

Vote, learn, try to understand other views. Inform themselves. There are even more.

It might sound like a fact to you simply because it is a strong opinion.
This is not a matter of evidence. Most women opt for abortion because they are selfish, in my opinion.
They are thinking of themselves and how having a baby would impact their life.

Edited to add: I think it is more than being selfish, it is that they really don't believe they are taking a human life, so it is also ignorance. And I am not saying that there is never a justifiable reason for an abortion.

No, I don't know or care.

As is their right in some systems.

As is their right in some systems.

And whether it should be their right is what is up for grabs in the U.S.

 

[mikkel_the_dane]

And whether it should be their right is what is up for grabs in the U.S.

Yes, we agree on that.

 

[SkepticThinker]

So is liposuction.

Yep, they are both medical procedures.

 

[Trailblazer]

Yep, they are both medical procedures.

but liposuction is not covered by health insurance.

 

[SkepticThinker]

The reason I object is of no import. All legislators do not believe in souls. A life is a life regardless of whether it has a soul and this is based upon the right to life.

Then why keep bringing up souls?

I did not miss your point, I just don't agree with it.
I consider that a lame talking point and a rationalization. Life is life at any stage.

You didn't really address it.
So you really, truly believe that a fully developed, borne, fully conscious, living and breathing, human being with social connections and a full life is the equivalent of a zygote or a fetus, which has none of those things? I find that rather absurd. They are clearly not the same thing.

 

[SkepticThinker]

but liposuction is not covered by health insurance.

So?

 

[SkepticThinker]

No, I just want to know what the real reason is.

Here I can help with that ....




It's none of your business.

That couldn't be further from the truth.
Why Do People Have Abortions?

Abortion is stigmatized and hard to talk about. Many reasons are given for having an abortion. Most people cite a few reasons. Sometimes they're too young or unprepared, don't have a supportive partner, or want to be done having children.
...
Some people think abortion is used simply as birth control. A common perception is that it's a "convenience" and an "easy way out."
That's not the case. In truth, it's very often because of family obligations and concerns about future children. Those answers are seen regardless of:

Reasons U.S. Women Have Abortions: Quantitative and Qualitative Perspectives

The reasons most frequently cited were that having a child would interfere with a woman's education, work or ability to care for dependents (74%); that she could not afford a baby now (73%); and that she did not want to be a single mother or was having relationship problems (48%). Nearly four in 10 women said they had completed their childbearing, and almost one-third were not ready to have a child. Fewer than 1% said their parents' or partners' desire for them to have an abortion was the most important reason. Younger women often reported that they were unprepared for the transition to motherhood, while older women regularly cited their responsibility to dependents.
