Abortion: Your Stand

[Zero777]

I'm not sure if there's already been a thread on this, but I didn't bother to even look to see.

There has been many debates whether or not a fetus is a living person. Well I want to know where do you stand on the topic of abortions.

For me, I believe that the debating should stop and it should be settled on a technical term, for now I know that a fetus is infact a living person since it presents all the characteristics for something to be a living organism:

• It's made out of units called cells.
• It can reproduce.
• It is based on a universal genetic code. (In this case, half of the mother's and half of the father's)
• It can grow and develop.
• It can obtain and use materials and energy.
• It can respond to its environment.
• It can maintain a stable internal environment.
• It can change over time

You are sick.

I chose "undecided" because I believe that it is the killing of life, but not the killing of intelligent or human life. I believe that human life begins when the fetus is born. Before that, it's just a ball of cells to me. We usually have no problem killing life, so long as it isn't human. Well, I take the same approach here.

And it isn't because my Dad works at an affiliate of Planned Parenthood. I would take this approach even if he was pro-life.

I'm pro-abortion. A woman can do whatever she wants with her body and whatever's inside it, especially if whatever's inside it is unwanted (since the fetus does slightly inhibit the mother's nutrient supply) or detrimental to the mother's health (such as in an ectopic pregnancy).

As for my vote, I acknowledge that abortion is the extinguishing of life, but then, the species is quite proficient and indiscriminate in that anyway.

Yes, before things get way out of hand here. It doesn't belong in a Mario based forum.

I figure we can at least see where it goes. There's no rule against mature discussion topics.

True, I thought you could nip it in the bud before it got worse. But who am I to say such things. I'm a nobody on this forum.

You're not the only nobody. I was a nobody until I got a 'Shroom role, and I'm still sorta left in the dark sometimes.
