I swear to you I am not doing it to be emotionally manipulative. Personally, I have always considered "zef" to be emotionally manipulative because it dehumanizes the unborn. I made the decision when I was pro-choice to call it a baby for the simple fact that I think some pro-choicers really need to be reminded it is an actual unborn child and not a parasitic rapist monster.

Don't you think you should advise someone against doing something you think would cause them physical or emotional trauma? I wouldn't tell my best friend "Jump of the bridge if you want, it's your choice". I'd do all I could to prevent her from doing it! I advise my friends not to smoke, and to drink responsibly, to avoid drunk driving. It's because I care about them. Sure, all of those things are their choice and most of those things are legal, but that doesn't make them healthy choices.

I did too, until I realised that the "zef" has a body too, it has organs too, and it has a right to life. It DEFINITELY has a right to life the moment it reaches viability. I have never been and never will be pro-elective-late-term D&C or D&E or suction aspiration or medical etc.

I have met extremists who disagree with you. My point was that if you actually think the extreme pro-lifers are the "core" of the movement, then you need to realise that they think pro-choice extremists are the core of pro-choice thought. It doesn't matter how true or false these claims are; this is what people really think.

I also find it hilarious that I use your exact same type sentence on the pro-life forum and got told I hate babies because I exaggerated the word "baby".

If you have complaints about the birthing process then why not protest birthing centers? You want reform? I want reform. You want to save lives? I want to save lives. I'd protest a birthing center with unusually high mortality rates.

I think a doctor should heavily advise the woman on the safest choice for her AND (omg!) the unborn. That's normally not going to include D&C or D&E or suction aspiration or medical etc, sorry to say.

The "fact" is calling it a zygote, embryo or fetus. Dehumanization is shortening that to "zef", which is not only a made up term but sounds like some kind of alien disease. We already have a word that describes all stages of young life. It's baby.

Here is the thing you don't know if that will be the case through out all of the pregnancy. Yes from the time she finds out she is pregnant through the first trimester things maybe fine but things can change quickly. There are several things that develop later in pregnancy that can kill not just the mother but the z/e/f, baby, whatever term you wanna give it. There is not test they can run that will tell you without a doubt that you will or will not develop things things. So that argument does not hold water.

If she develops a life-threatening condition she should be allowed to abort.

Not quickly enough she would die before an abortion could happen. Very, very unlikely.

That's a different situation. We were discussing a woman who wants to abort every pregnancy based off of previous experiences, which is why she would need to have proof because the debilitating symptoms may not have manifested in the latest pregnancy. If this is your first pregnancy then a doctor can simply see the conditions you are experiencing and make an education decision based off of your own personal feelings as well.

There she goes again with the pro punishment mentality for sex. That didn't take long.

I'm not responding to you anymore xwoman. We're just going around in circles. You know my opinions on things. You insulted me, and just generally took the debate into the realm of argument. If you would like to start anew with a new reply and reformulate your questions for me, I will answer.

Nothing!

There are experienced doctors who are pro-life AND pro-choice. Those doctors are the ones who should determine if it is safe for the woman and child for the pregnancy to continue. Personally, a doctor's political stance on abortion shouldn't affect his ability to diagnose a woman and determine her health. If she is in danger, she should abort if that is the safest option. In late-term pregnancy, a birth is often the process of abortion anyway, so I don't see why the child can't simply be given birth to, unless the abortion is faster.

If the child can be saved without risking the mother's life, then it should be saved.

You shouldn't want to kill your own offspring. I feel that's my goal: to convince women to choose life, not death.

You are prolife. you say a doctor should make that decision-for certain situations- (i hope along with the woman) but if you got yourway abortion would be illegal for any other situation. You think you should have the right to determine what risks I should take and what direction mylife should go in. where does that come from? youhave no idea who i am but youwant to force me to give birth? and youtell me what I should want-why do you get to tell me that? I think you should want me to be happy and make my own decisons.

Don't do me any favors. You are just a new parrot for the pro fetus side.

No, that is the woman's choice. If she wants to risk her life against the doctor's advice, that is her decision to make.

I know I'm pro-life, thanks for telling me lol.

I believe a woman should not be allowed an abortion if she is mentally and physically healthy and the unborn is healthy. That's the ONLY situation I would disallow abortion. There are literally thousands of conditions that negate it, such as young maternal age, diseases, conditions, hormonal imbalances etc.

It's just to me, a perfectly healthy woman killing a perfectly healthy fetus is so pointless. Why does she think abortion is the right choice? Is it societal? There are two human lives at risk here.

I do not think I should have the right to determine what risks you can take. I think your DOCTOR should have that right to discuss it with you and determine if you are at risk. A doctor is not going to allow his patient to continue a pregnancy if it is dangerous!

Of course I have no idea what you want; well, actually I do on one point. You want to kill another human being and get away with it repeatedly with no one questioning it.
