Is this a specious argument for pro-abortion?

@spendius,
Just a few thoughts.

Quote:
Are you in favour of legalising prostitution?


Prostitution is legal in your country.

Quote:
And to drug use.


Here, here.

Quote:
Why is it not a woman's free choice to be a prostitute?


Anyone may choose to be a prostitute.

Quote:
Or to have four 18 year old footballers round for a bit of fun


When did that become illegal?




Classic bourgeois antediluvian.

@Miss L Toad,
I didn't ask what the situation is. I know that.

There's a lady a Texas court has recently sentenced to 5 years, despite her having 3 young kids, for having 4 18 year-old footballers round for a bit of fun while her family was away and I have been defending her.

Where were you?

Sorry Frank-- the previous post had slipped by my attention. Time zones. I would have been in the charp pit at the time and on resurfacing the thread had moved on.


No problem.

Quote:
I think my answer was reasonable but I also think the offence is against womanhood and femininity. And I think those involved know that which is why the practice is surrounded by secrecy, veils and shame.


We are of different opinions on this. I think refusing to allow a woman the right to terminate a pregnancy occurring in her own body...is an offense against womanhood and femininity...a grievous offence.

You think differently...which is the reason the issue is so contentious.

Quote:
Did you notice the word "entire" in my post relating to whether anyone dare ask their parent/s whether they had debated whether to off them. If I was 20 now I think the question might enter my head. Would it not yours if you was 20? And if so would you ask?


I wouldn't ask...and I wouldn't care. If they had aborted me...I simply would never have existed...unless the Catholics are correct.

And if the Catholics are correct (except for Augustine and Aquinas)...if I had been aborted, I would now be spending eternity with my god enjoying eternal bliss forever and ever. Not all that bad a deal. Which brings me back to my question for the third time:

With all the respect in the world, Spendius, what do you see as the offense to the fetus of being aborted?

All the arguments you make apply to prostitution. And to drug use.
Krumple wrote:
Spend you mean to tell me all this time and you never read my posts on the topic of prostitution or drugs?

I am in favor of both being legal. If we made prostitution legal, women would probably stop walking the streets because businesses would open. (essentially brothels). The women can be regulated, checked for diseases and the guys can be monitored so the women are not harmed.

As it currently is, women who prostitute themselves are at the mercy of their customers. There are thousands of prostitutes who are murdered because they don't have a safe environment to work in.

Not only that but man women look for pimps for a sense of protection and often times get wrapped up in drug use because these guys know that addictions fuel prostitution. Get them hooked on a drug and they will keep turning out customers which makes them more money. If prostitution were legalized it would be much safer for everyone including the clients. Because std and aid testing could be mandatory.

As far as drugs go. I think all of them should be legalized. Once you do this businesses like liquor stores would open up to provide drugs to the community. They would become more safe and cleaner. Drugs like crank would go away because they are inferior products. People would much rather have cocaine. The price would also drop if it were legal. You would also take money out of the hands of thugs and gangsters who create a lot of street violence. The reason there are gang violence is almost always related to drug selling turf.

If you legalize drugs many crimes including property crimes would reduce or completely go away because the price of drugs would dramatically come down and be more affordable. This is something that many people don't understand. The reason drugs are expensive is because there is a high risk involved in trafficking them. To make it worth their time and risk, they need to make more money for it. As soon as they are legal the price would drop because there is no risk.

Not only that but the war on drugs would go away. Cops will stop dying in drug related raids.
Tax money can be spend on drug abuse education instead of paying to try and keep dealers off the streets.

It should be their choice.
FOR THE RECORD:
I accept and adopt all of Mr. Krumple's arguments.
I add that the War on Drugs is founded upon USURPATIONS of power.
Jurisdiction is a hoax. The Founders woud have been aghast.

I reject the principles upon which laws against selling sexual services r founded.
All my life, I have advocated laissez faire free enterprize.
At no point in my life have I ever been offered money for sexual services
(I was never a good looking guy),
but as a matter of principle, I RESERVE MY RIGHT TO CHOOSE whether to engage
in such a contract, if there had ever been any market demand for such service
.

I seldom use the word: "prostitute" as a noun,
because it fails to express sufficient respect for ladies of the evening.

Nor would I ever have done or will do.

Krumpie is confusing wishes, engineered, mainly by Media, with instincts. She has to either deny instincts or, if accepting them, to deny harmful results from thwarting them.


I never claimed you wrote that?

You guys should talk to some women in China. Abortion is so common and it isn't even a politically conflicting subject. Women admit they have abortion in their past as if it was nothing more than a visit to the dentist. Then again they have overpopulation problem and weird government propaganda, which I wonder how it's coming along with the movement of sexual revolution that started about a decade ago.



You are comparing our western culture to them?

There is no movement that is "pro-abortion". That suggests an encouragement to abort. That is why it is called "Pro-choice". I know a girl who was conceived from a rape. She was not made aware of this fact until well into her adulthood. Children generally want to know that they are conceived voluntarily and deliberately. Those who are not (including those who are adopted) end up with psychological problems especially with commitment and abandonment. Some people simply cannot and would not ever have an abortion. Some who have an abortion experience guilt, regret and sincerely wish they had not made the decision to abort. It's a very, very personal and individual experience. We cannot prevent 100% of unwanted pregnancies (rape for ex.). No matter how good the adopted parents of a child are there is always a hole that never gets filled due to the "abandonment" of the birth parents. If I had been adopted I would feel so horrible knowing that my mother I grew inside abandoned me for any reason because I would love my mother and would never want to be a burden. I do know several people who were adopted at birth that are very psychologically disturbed. Thousands live happy and fulfilling lives on the other hand. Becoming pregnant during a rape is the only way to understand why you might want to abort. Unless of course you are very, very empathetic.


In my opinion, boys tend to be much better at handling the issues regarding having been adopted. If we discuss why, we would be opening up a can of worms regarding women and whether they tend to have too many maudlin emotions.

I'm inclined to think Foofie that it is due to needing something to make an inordinate fuss about now that they have so many conveniences and the matter being very safe territory to perform the feat on.

Imagine regretting having an abortion and having to bottle it up for the rest of your life so as not to upset the idiots who persuaded you to have it. It is impossible to imagine such women not wondering what the little mite would have turned out like if nature had been allowed to take its course.

ANYTHING can be considered to be anything, regardless of the degree of error.

Is the capacity for error of the human mind infinite ?

Had you actually read any of this thread you would know where I stand. But I can tell your level of ignorance is so high that simple statements are nearly impossible for you to comprehend.

It is a crime to force someone to make a decision or force them to keep a child they don't want. It shouldn't be up to you unless you were involved in it. Unless you are the one who is pregnant or the potential parent of the child, your opinion should be pretty much irrelevant. It is not your body, it is not your life, it is theirs to decide.

I am both pro choice and anti abortion. I would never have an abortion myself but I think it is immoral to tell other's they can't decide to have one. It is wrong to make it illegal, regardless of how you feel about it. If you don't like abortions, then you shouldn't have one but it doesn't give you the right to tell other's they can't decide it is right for them.

If you make abortion illegal, then women will become victims and you won't save any lives. All you end up doing is shifting who dies. Either the fetus dies or the mother dies. Take your pick.

Will you explain that Krumpie? Of the 50 million abortions since Roe/Wade how many involved that choice?

And it is an unborn baby. If you wish to employ technical terms for the kid why not use technical terms for the operation which conceived it? I understand the non-romantic approach but it should be employed consistently. Applying it to just the unborn born baby seems to me to objectify it. Make it a thing.

Copulation for example means a joining, To unite. If a termination ensues then it means there was no uniting. It was a deal.

One might even say a contract in which the third party is of no account. Like a price rigging deal where the buyer is of no account.

A speeding ticket hasn't even got a victim on the scene. It's only a putative victim. Are you pro-choice on speeding?

Is this a word game? Why not use pro-abortion? Pro-choice seems a bit coy. A euphemism. The unborn baby has no choice. How can a thing, a clump of cells, have a choice? The unborn baby is labelled in these ways for no other reason than to make its disposal easier on the eye. It is an unborn baby with who knows what potential.

And why have you not commented on whether a modern teenager might ask her parents whether they had considered terminating her. I think that in this climate of opinion it is impossible that teenagers would not think of the question. And if they don't ask then some degree of dishonesty has crept into the parent/child relationship. It wouldn't be much of a stretch for a teenager, or an adult, to ask their parents whether there was a sibling who was terminated. Or a few.

Would these obvious questions be asked? If they were asked would they be answered honestly when termination/s had taken place.And if they were answered honestly would it affect how the person saw herself and her relations with her parents?
