We're just facing off on the impossible, aren't we?

Yet with every continuing description of "knowing and understanding the situation and personality of others" and "knowing when a new should be denied entrance into the world" - my own skecth of pro-choice personality becomes more vivid.

Christ, I always thought I was the most arrogant mind on this board...

Most unwanted pregnancies come from the man's behaviour. The ancient favorite, which still is a blast today, is that the man promises to stop before ejaculation. This 'contraception' method almost never works, because 1) the man rarely stops in time and 2) some sperm is secreted before ejaculation, meaning a girl can become pregnant even if the man stopped in a timely fashion. The sad thing is that it's not common knowledge.

Another favourite is when the man leaves the woman because he can't tolerate her being pregnant. It happens very, very often as well, to teenagers mostly.
Of course, you aren't able to fathom uninformed / naive teens being plunged into unwanted pregnancy, because the only thing you are thinking about is yourself and your little middle class sexual life.

Obviously, the situations make for less than 5% of unwanted pregnancies ? Obviously, aborting women are all sluts who want to take a condomless **** hard, and then willfully kill the baby for whom they feel nothing. Yes, how dare these sluts take up 95% of the abortions !

Ok guys, I'm sorry to have become so aggravated - but here's the basic conversation as I recieve it [feel free to show me your own version ]


Pro-Choicer: Abortion is wonderful. Just think of all the misery it stops!

Me: The degrees of misery you have in mind do not justify murder to eliminate them.

Pro-Choicer: It's not murder! I know it isn't because I am realistic, and that's all I need to say.

Me: I don't really know for sure if it is, but a large enough opinion holds it as chance - so why even risk murder when you're simply trying to alleviate 9 months of pregnancy and labour?

Pro-Choicer: Ok, even if a fetus is alive, making it murder - HOW does it make sense to make a woman go through pregnancy etc. when she didn't want the unborn baby and it was its choice to be concievd?

Me: It wasn't the (now) babies choice to concieve - I'm pretty sure of that much! So if she didn't want the baby, she and Jack shouldn't have been f*cking in the first place.

Pro-Choicer: Yet even if she took measures to avoid the pregnancy - it still happens! Think rape or the ever brilliant and consistent "pulling out" contraception method!

Me: Unfortunately - these things do happen, but are in minority case. I would well tackle them before coming to complete terms, only when the majority is dealt with. So from now on, this point is seen as a smokescreen to the major issue, ok?

Pro-Choicer: ...but even the majority don't want the child. Again, even if indeed it is "MURDER" - infringing upon the wants and comfort of the would be mother is worse than the mercy killing itself! This is a woman's body, after all!

Me: How could you EVER justify murder over a relative 9 month (or even life) comfort?

Pro-Choicer: YOU HATE WOMEN! YOU HATE THE VAGINA AND DESPISE THE FEMALE RACE

Me: what

You're completely wrong, Z, as you are putting all prochoicers in the same bag.
There are some prochoicers who argue the embryo is not a human being.
Some others try to show that an embryo doesn't have individual rights, and argue that the mother comes first.
Some others (to which I belong) dismiss the whole embryo issue as irrelevant and discuss about the future of the women and the children.
A few try to sicuss about all 3 elements, but it is the best way to become confused.

By mixing the 3 kinds of pro-choice arguments into one mix allows you to take some cheap shot on the pro-choicers

I'm dealing with the people I've been arguing with, and have set a universal tone of opposition argument for it. Unfortunatelty I have not as much been attending to your points, they're rather original and exception like in their own.

So combining your completely off base whims with my illustrated defence of others is not an option to discredit what I've outlined. Try a little harder!

I did not understand this post. What should I try harder ?

Besides, here's another critic to your version : you dramatically overestimate the flexibility of your opponents. You think they are actually changing their mind while reading your arguments. You think they are giving concessions to your arguments over time. Well, you're wrong. Only Ramo did make concessions, and you have seen how much nonsense the Zylka / Ramo debate was.

Basically, you're repeating over and over the same rehashed crap since the beginning of the thread: that the embryo is a full fledged human, and that its destruction is murder plain and simple. There is no variation to your simplistic argument, except when you say pregnant women had it coming.

On the other side, you have a variety of points of views, which don't change. This leads to some wonderful dialogues, when you say "how many times must I tell you this is so ?", and your opponent replies "No, how many time must I tell you that it is that way ?". This fits my definition of pointless, but maybe that's just me.

I am not saying they are changing mind, but countless have said - "ok, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in saying a fetus is human for debate. Yet even if it was, [...]"

There's nothing wrong with my outlined conversation, because if you look back and read through the thread - you'll see it all happened often 2 or 3 times.

Because you say so! Yet a majority of the others active in this thread caught on to and branched out from that argument. I guess it's all whatever you consider nonsense, even if you're the only person in the thread who has declared such.
