What I'm trying to imply is that your argument about people getting raped who can not "have control over it", is not valid and thus I am emphasizing the argument of @avory that states that people who don't want kids should just refrain from getting pregnant. I mean, there is condoms and other stuff for that.


I would really love to hear how getting an abortion from being raped isn't justified. Why should someone have to bear a child that they didn't want?

Obviously people can wear condoms if they're having sex... but being raped? No rapist is going to bother wearing a condom. If you think that, you're being plain ignorant.

If rape is out of the equation then yes, people should just refrain from it. We aren't at a disagreement there and don't see how we're on different sides of the coin.

Are you serious ? How did you get such a conclusion ? Did I say that getting an abortion from being raped isn't justified ? You said that people can't prevent raping therefore abortion is a necessity so I told you that according to OP, rape is excluded.

What I meant is that I agree with you when it comes to rape but we do not have to worry about that because this law took rape in consideration.

I drew that from the "not valid" part of your prior message, sorry.

Well, since we agree, I don't see why we're still debating this. Yes, this law did take rape into consideration and yes, people in general should just be more careful when it comes to sex, though abortions, in my opinion, should always be an option because accidents with condoms and other forms of birth control do happen. No system is without its flaws.

Those who think abortions are murder are just saying that because they're the ones who don't have to deal with the birth.

What about "personal responsibility is not an argument unless it applies to both parties" does not make sense?


That's rather naive..

Ladies are the ones getting pregnant. There is nothing to stop a guy from sticking around if he doesn't care about what happens.


inherently illogical argument, to shift the blame onto females because they carry the baby doesn't change the fact male contribution is required in order for the process to begin with. Just because someone doesn't care doesn't mean it's okay.


The only naivety is thinking you can knock up a chick and not get stuck with some sort of issues.


this argument makes even less sense in the context of this era where child support is literally in place to cuck people who try to bail on their kids.

Nah, the one politician in my state who tried to stand for pro choice rights and even had a filibuster to protest a restrictive anti abortion bill was slandered to pieces for disagreeing with the majority of the religious fundies in gov’t here. She lost the governmental elections to someone who was as bumbling and incompetent as the guy before him.

Umm no.. You're wrong and here is why.

Men knock up women everyday without issue, and these women shoulder the responsibility alone.

Men have the option to leave since they aren't carrying the child. As a woman you're stuck with it.

And that is the reality. It's why there's so many single mothers.

The equal responsibility argument isn't based in reality.

yes, you're right. women unable to care for or unprepared to care for a child should still give birth, so both her and her child can live in misery, as they should be for letting men impregnate her.

Th only problem with banning abortion entirely is you have to take consideration of rape and the health of the woman, not taking thee two things in consideration has gotten whole countries in trouble, particularly in South America. You must have at least those two factors as exceptions in any abortion restrictions as the life of the woman is often in danger.

I don't mind so much that the abortions are happening, but rather that taxpayers are paying it. Idk what it's like in Poland, but I think it would just be fair if whoever is getting the abortion pay for their own.

I don't think banning abortion is a good idea as it'll likely not reduce the abortion rate and will put women in danger with illegal abortions.

Having said that, I think having abortions (especially late term) is a morally wrong thing to do.

Yes, these women have to shoulder the responsibility alone... because the men who made them pregnant don't take responsibility, which is the very basis of the "equal responsibility" argument, that men are able to get away with it but they shouldn't. It's not based on a "men take responsibility" scenario as you're trying to make it out to be, it's based on a "men don't take responsibility, but they should" scenario

I'm still waiting for them to ban condoms.
The best thing is, Kaczyński (president of PiS, de facto most influential person Poland, giving orders to president and prime minister) is single, nearly 70 yo man, living alone with his cat. But people like him know the best about making families.

Any statistics on rape aren't that reliable to figure out the exact actual rate because the stigma around it influences how it's reported and tried. Even on polls not everyone who was raped would say they were either because they don't want others to know or they don't want to beleive it themselves and some cases they don't think it was rape because n of their perceptions of rape.

Why would you let a woman whose life will be ruined/harder/changed forever by not murdering someone make the decision wether or not to murder someone?

Murder is a legal term for killing of a person. To be a person you must have personhood. A fetus until at earliest maybe 20 weeks does not have consciousness thus lacks personhood so it's not a person. Even in countries voluntary abortion is fully illegal, it's not called murder, it's called abortion.

Murder has an objective legal definition. Personhood criteria varies by philisophy but personhood is also a legal definition which is something objective although varies by country and time. I'm merely explaining how it is in many places. I'm not aware of any countries that legally charge it as murder only ines that have charged it as abortion. This is simple fact stating.

That is irrelevant.

Might be related to the surge of fascists in Poland
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/poland-independence-day-march-warsaw-far-right-fascists-a8050181.html


I get a sneaky suspicion that these so-called 'fascists' are merely people who want to preserve their culture and traditions for the people who were born there, or naturally assimilated, and I see nothing wrong with that.



Likewise, most 'refugees' are economic migrants, who moved out of their country to seek better fortunes. These people are not in any danger whatsoever and should be sent back asap. Fuck the EU for trying to force its member states to take these people in.

EDIT: And as for the abortion ban, I say good. The vast majority of abortions are done as means of contraceptive, and far less cases are done when the mother's life, or the fetus' life is in danger. Women have tons of contraceptives at hand if they don't want to get pregnant, maybe it's about time they started using them. Women need to take more responsibility.

it's worth noting that while contraceptives significantly lowers the odds of pregnancy,
contraceptives do not prevent pregnancy 100% of the time, even with perfect usage
https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/contraception/how-effective-contraception/?

should women who get pregnant despite using contraceptives be forced to care for an unwanted child?
and statistically, there's guaranteed to be a few women to be pregant even after taking birth control pills and other forms of contraceptives.

Nothing is perfect, but with proper use, the chances are greatly reduced.

I've grown to despise this argument in the recent few years . There are so many people who would happily adopt a child, but for some reason, abortion has pretty much become the go-to method to get rid of an unwanted child, and adoption is often not even considered.

Another argument against it is that the father has no say in it. Even if he wants it, the woman can still have the child aborted if she so desires. And if the opposite is the case, there is no way for him to get out of parenthood without having to pay child support.

1. there are already enough children available for adoption as is.
you are not one of the parents adopting children though, so your concern here is pretty peculiar.

2. if they wanted children they woud not use contraceptives.
the woman can still have the child aborted if she so desires.

it's almost as if you forgot the subject of this thread. hint: "abortion ban"

if the opposite is the case, there is no way for him to get out of parenthood without having to pay child support.

when doing sex, there's an inherent risk of impregating the woman. it's a choice the man deliberately makes, and if the woman does become pregnant as a result, he bears the responsibility as well. i've never heard of cases of men being forced to impregnate woman, but in those cases - if they even exist - then yes, they should be free from parental obligation.

Pretty sure the men who penned this law no nothing about lady parts or reproductive system. As they all do. Not shocked, never will.

Murder has an objective legal definition. Personhood criteria varies by philisophy but personhood is also a legal definition which is something objective although varies by country and time. I'm merely explaining how it is in many places. I'm not aware of any countries that legally charge it as murder only ines that have charged it as abortion. This is simple fact stating.

That is irrelevant.
Thank you for your legal definition of words I used in an obviously not legal setting.

I just asked out of curiousity, personally I have no opinion on the matter.


I was pointing out the bias in your word choices. Unless you meant that on purpose but still don't see the point in restating claims everyone has heard a million times.

It depends on situation but maybe 19-20 weeks for non special reasons. I could adjust it to update to any correct objective data so it's not a hard set number either. Most abortions happen long before then anyway and anything after is almost always medical reasons. That's based on before the brain and nervous system is fully developed and also is a few weeks before regular brain activity and even more weeks before the earliest premature birth ever to survive with heavy use of modern medical help.

I did pick those words intentionally, yes, to paint a clear picture of why these men would be right, by their beliefs, in making this decision instead of the woman.
Perhaps it was unclear I wasn't saying the second sentence as something I personally agree with, but as a logical conclusion to the way these people think.

The reason I bothered doing so is because the original comment did not seem to take into account that 1. these men are doing the right thing by their beliefs, 2. decisions regarding what you are allowed to do to/with your body are constantly being made by others (like what drugs are illegal, or where you're not allowed to be naked, or masturbate) because certain actions are wrong (in the eyes of the people making the laws at least), and 3. that the woman has a personal stake in the situation which is not in the benefit of the survival of the fetus, which would naturally lead to the decision not being up to her if it were up to people that believe the survival of the fetus is morally correct wether or not the decision is up to her.


My opinion on it is that both sides have different beliefs and I can see the logic behind both of them, I would not want to say "you are wrong" or "you are right" to either one of them, but I do want both sides to realise the other side isn't simply "wrong" and is doing the right thing based on their beliefs.
That's why someone saying "these people should have the power of the decision" bothers me, because this is something so completely gray I can't pick a side, and someone dismissing the other side without any understanding or compassion for them in their tone bothers me.



I mostly just shitpost in a contrarion way though (in previous posts), so I'm not really helping anyone, but this time I actually meant what I said.

there are already enough children available for adoption as is.


Define 'enough'.

Also, is this because too many children get offered, or because the process of getting them to new parents isn't going smoothly enough?

you are not one of the parents adopting children though, so your concern here is pretty peculiar


This is irrelevant. I don't need to have an actual stake in a matter to have an opiinion on it.

2. if they wanted children they woud not use contraceptives.


Thank you, Captain Obvious. Whatever would I have done without you?

the woman can still have the child aborted if she so desires.

it's almost as if you forgot the subject of this thread. hint: "abortion ban"


I'm ever so sorry for not being starting off with "in the current situation" (or something similar, to demonstrate I was talking about the present). I should have known better than to assume you would have understood the context.

if the opposite is the case, there is no way for him to get out of parenthood without having to pay child support.

when doing sex, there's an inherent risk of impregating the woman. it's a choice the man deliberately makes, and if the woman does become pregnant as a result, he bears the responsibility as well. i've never heard of cases of men being forced to impregnate woman, but in those cases - if they even exist - then yes, they should be free from parental obligation.


Sex is a two-way street (in the case of consensual sex, anyway; rape is a different story). While it's true that the man impregnates the woman, she is the one who allowed him to do so in the first place. That is why it;s consensual sex, after all.

My point still stands, though, why can't a man opt out of parenthood after conception, but the women can?

They spend all of their awake time whining about how women should have their rights restricted and get back into the kitchen and whatnot and yet at the same time they expect us to want to have sex with them. I wish they could just go gay or some shit because they wouldn't have to worry about having sex with us anymore + we probably wouldn't have to listen to their complaints because they'd be busy getting laid. It's a win-win situation

Don't want to get pregnant?
Don't have sex.
Sex is for reproduction not fun.

The only people this affects are skanks, thots, sluts, & hoes.

Wonderful.
Another abortion thread explaining how banning murder doesn't stop murders from happening.
Or that it is better to kill people than let them live poor. Try that on a homeless person next time and see how they take it.

This exchange was pretty interesting though in showing just how ridiculously unbalanced the arguments are:

"I want the right to murder my baby or not!"

"I want the right to make women bleed to death after having a coat hanger stuck in their cervix!"

...As if a magical coat hanger boogeyman jumps on women to force coat hangers into their cervix. That is the best a pro-abortionist can come up with in response to women choosing to murder their children. It reveals a pretty poignant point that "responsibility" just doesn't play any part in abortionists' views on the matter.
It's almost like Babies just magically hop into wombs, or coat hangers just magically go into cervices. Preceding actions, thought or choice are not a thing.

You can just @ me you know instead of stating something about "murdering babies" out of thin air.

Reality doesn't care about what Bible thumping whiners think is immoral or irresponsible, just like it didn't care about anti alcohol whiners during the Prohibition. You can either deal with the issue accordingly by providing legal abortion, birth control and good sex ed and have low abortion rates in general like or deal with it inaccordingly like places like American Bible belt states and big parts of South America by providing coat hanger abortions, no birth control and abstinence only sex ed and get high teenage pregnancy rates and have few legal abortions but more coat hanger abortions.

Luckily bodily autonomy is a tihng. If they ban abortion, then the government can force you take vaccinations, force you to give blood, force you to donate organs. Inb4 slippery slope fallacy even though this slope isn't that slippery.

Lol. Reality doesn't care about what goody two-shoes think is immoral or irresponsible. People will murder anyways.....so why not just let them? Glorious logic there buddy.
The Bible, Quran, 50 Shades of Grey or whatever is irrelevant.

Lol. The form a murder takes doesn't stop it from being a murder. "Would you rather have people shooting people to death or stabbing them to death?" Well, in case you are unaware.....both a bad. Just because poisoning someone is cleaner than stabbing them a hundred times doesn't make the former acceptable.....in case you did not know.

As always, to support abortion one has to throw logic and sense out the window, as evidenced by the magical coat hanger boogeyman running around inserting things into women and his brother the magical baby-loader forcing babies into women's wombs.

Anti murder laws reduce murders to an extent (though there are other factors like biology), anti abortion laws (much like anti prostitution laws don't help against prostitution and anti alcohol laws don't stop people from drinking) do not reduce abortions. Glorious logic indeed, as that is the reality.

That's a bad analogy, a better one would be to compare a two year long prison sentence for rape VS a ten year long one. Both of them are going to have an effect, but one is going to work better than the other. When it comes to abortion, legal abortions combined with birth control and good sex ed works better than coat hanger abortions combined with a lack of birth control and abstinence only sex ed if you wanna prevent "murder".

Reality is neither logical nor illogical, it simply is. You having a problem with these "evil" women's behavior or wishing anti abortion laws worked is irrelevant.

Even if many other arguments do not appeal to you, do you think that a person should have the right to remove things from their bodies, especially if it affects their condition? It is a right to do what you want with your body, even if it means removing another person and it dies because of it.
