The GOP's War on Women

If it looks like a duck, if it has wings like a duck, if it quacks and swims like a duck, it's obviously a platypus. No, it's a duck.

A fetus resembles a person, therefore it is a person.

If we are going by brainwaves, we have a working brain at 4 weeks. And then at 5 weeks, it starts to move.

Okay genius, how is something moving if it isn't alive? Is it like the zombie Qilin in Fantastic Beasts?

That's a fictional person. Still a person, but today in politics we're deciding to deal in reality. Unless you wanna tackle Saiyans (Dragon Ball) and Mamodo (Zatch Bell).

Brainwaves are not the same as electricity. If you want to reduce them to electricity, then all people are just machines, and I guess anyone can be killed.

Actually I said the opposite, but you've done this before.

Saiyans and Mamodo are alive (that is different from a puppet, pet rock, zombie, or animated skeleton) but not real. In the parenthetical examples, two of these appear to be alive, but necromancy is not life.
So what defines life? It is not simply movement but independent movement. A necromancer controls a skeleton, but they are not able to make said skeleton move without them. Computers generslly don't shut on by themselves, without some kinda error or code allowing this. This is animation, not life.
Does a fetus meet this definition of life? Yes, it does. Guess what, brain activity is completely irrelevant to life. Here are many creatures that live without a brain, in addition to every plant, fungi, or bacteria in existence.

Alive is not the same thing as real. Real is defined as existing in this reality. Now there may be infinite realities, which painters and writers draw on, but in this reality, they do not exist. But, they are alive.

Rock is alive.

See? ROCK! IS! ALIVE!!!

A fetus resembles a person because it is a person. It's a homunculus described in theoretical philosophy. A "little person."

Anti-abortion advocates have been on the record showing a fetus avoiding cutting tools while within the womb. Not alive you say? So why is it fighting for its right to live?

Killing babies is moral.

Asking you politely not to kill your baby in front of me is immoral?

Great to know!

Killing babies is NOT MORAL. We agree on that.

Refusing a woman the right to control her own body IS IMMORAL

Oh? What's immoral about it?

Would it be moral to stop a man from raping a little child?
Would it be more to stop a woman from murdering her six year old child?

Oh but it's so immoral to stop her from murdering a child that isn't even able to see yet. It's so immoral to prevent a child, who hasn't even gotren to enjoy a sunset or a flower, or drink its mother's milk, hasn't had any experiences at all, from being killed.

Seems like you need a refresher on morality.

Good to know you have some standards.

Refusing a woman the right to control her own body IS IMMORAL

It's not her body at the the time of pregnancy. She cannot say, "This is my body, to do with what I want." This is "OUR" body, the girl's and her boyfriend's, because they have joined together inside her to create life. The baby is in effect joint property, so unless both partners agree to this, I cannot be cool with it. If the wife and husband both agree, they should use morning after drugs, as soon as possible. Not wait four months.

What did she wait for, anyway? To find out the baby is the wrong sex? That it might be Downs Syndrome? What exactly was the holdup?

Secondly, I am not taking her choices away. She is well within her rights to drive to some clinic that is privately run. What I will not back is the immoral taking of choices of doctors and nurses away. Abortion is the job of an abortion clinic, not the job of a hospital.
A hospital is in the business of saving life, and if you want to do otherwise, join an abortion clinic. But no hospital should demand that of their nurses, threatening them with termination if they deliver a baby rather than perform the abortion.

That, that is immoral. It should never have been part of hospital work, because hospitals are supposed to follow the Hippocratic Oath.

Abortion clinics, and only abortion clinics should do this work. And they shouldn't be allowed to claim to be anything but an abortion clinic.
"Family planning?" Nuhhh, that's a lie.

You have a captive audience.

81 percent of women surveyed in a 1992 study reported in the Journal of Social Issues said they felt victimized by the abortion process, and that they were either coerced into the abortion or that information about alternatives or the actual procedure had been withheld.

The more hotly contested link—though one supported by numerous epidemiological studies and breast physiology—is that abortion itself can cause breast cancer. Through abortion, a woman artificially terminates her pregnancy at a time when her breast cells have been exposed to high levels of potentially cancer-initiating estrogen but before those cells have matured into cancer-resistant cells (as they ultimately do in a full-term pregnancy). According to breast surgeon Dr. Angela Lanfranchi, The same biology that accounts for 90 percent of all risk factors for breast cancer accounts for the abortion breast cancer link.

While some men lament the choices of their wives or girlfriends (husbands and boyfriends, after all, have no legal rights in the abortion decision), other men serve as the catalysts behind such choices. Nearly 40 percent of post-abortive women in one study reported that partners pressured them into having the abortions.

The victimization felt by such a large majority of women who undergo abortions, though not appreciated or even recognized by todays pro-choice feminist, was acutely foreseen by an earlier generation of feminists. Americas pioneering feminists, who fought for the right to vote and fair treatment in the workplace, were uniformly against abortion because they recognized it as an attack on women as women—those uniquely endowed with the ability to bear children.

I have updated my signature. Kindly educate yourself on how abortion is not only anti-woman but also anti-choice.

It is the leftists that make war on women by trying to make them like men.
