Breaking... US Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade

The frequency is irrelevant, because the question of rape and the common response (which you have in turn “wheeled out”) that even many pro-lifers support abortion as an option for rape victims underpins the moral inconsistency which lies at the heart of the pro-life argument.

Those of the anti-abortion persuasion tell us that the foetus is a human being whose right to life trumps the feelings or motivations of the mother. They tell us that even at the embryonic/foetal stage, the value and sanctity of life must be upheld. That is of course unless the foetus has the misfortune of being the product of rape — at which point many pro-lifers utterly abandon their morals and ethics regarding the value of a human foetus and are happy for it to be killed (using their terminology). It is a supreme moral hypocrisy which, while conveniently helping them escape from having to defend the indefensible, also involves them abandoning the morals on which they base their pro-life beliefs in the first place. In simpler terms, in cases of rape, these people will tacitly admit that a foetus is something different from a human with all the rights to life they would otherwise invoke.

As for those who take the hardline view that, even in cases of rape, abortion should never be permissible — their moral consistency remains impressively intact, but their beliefs are tyrannical. This is why it is always important to mention cases like rape, regardless of the frequency, because it’s where the morals underpinning the pro-life argument crash into a brick wall of hypocrisy.

Oh, and if one of 'em needs an abortion, they get it. Even at the clinics they boycott. https://joycearthur.com/abortion/the-only-moral-abortion-is-my-abortion/

"My body my choice" after a few years of trying to force people to get vaccinated too. Pointing out hypocrisy is worthless though sadly, as it causes them no shame, as they are shameless. They are ruthless when it comes to gaining power, so things like principles don't even factor into their politics.

Mandatory vaccines, which many people like you supported, isn't an inventive, it's being forced by law to put something into your body that you don't want in your body. It doesn't matter that it didn't happen in many countries, what matters is that it was supported by people like yourself. It's a bit like trying to kill someone, yet they live, and you go "Well so what? They didn't die?".

Pregnancy can be mitigated in many, many ways before getting to the stage of needing an abortion, which is conveniently overlooked by abortionists time and time again. The argument is always framed in a way that makes it seem like the fetus just ends up in the womb, and that there's no way to stop to growth, which is completly dishonest, but to be expected all the same.

By forced im assuming you mean held down and injected against their will? You have examples of this surely? Who exactly was blackmailed? What exactly were they blackmailed with? Who exactly was heavily coerced? BTW coersion means the use of force or threats of harm to get someone to do something they dont want to do.

I was referring to a post that mentioned the impact of pregnancy on mental health. I'm sure yer man the mighty catholic is an expert on that as well.

Hmm.. Are you o.k. with mail-order Viagra then? Or is it just ru486 that's causing you conniptions? Because that's pretty telling.

You don't seem to. Your posts often come across as angry and bitter. You're nearly always on the attack, and often insulting people who are being civil with you. Honestly, I think that abortion is barbaric, it's honestly something that I loath, yet I don't come into threads like this calling people like you "evil baby murders" or anything as such, because there's no value to it. You aren't capable of the same though, you lash out in nearly every post.
