Beat the odds? It's 2 cells dude. EVERY living cell beat the odds of not being alive, why not the compassion for your poor liver cells whenever you take a drink, or smoke weed?
Each sperm may have a low chance, but combined the odds are pretty "god damn not too bad".
I'm saying the sperm and egg cells just did a very amazing thing and it is immoral to take that away.
"Beating the odds" doesn't morally validate something in my opinion. How is that a valid moral qualifier? Can you name any other situation where, "beating the odds", makes something either morally right, or morally wrong?
NO, I cannot.
I'm asking. lol
But first, how can the state have no right to tell you what to do with your body on one subject, and not on the other when the two are so very similar?
I believe the state should have laws about your body when it has to do with a whole other life. When you smoke marijuana it doesn't affect anyone besides you, when you abort a fetus you ended a life. They are not similar to each other.
I believe the state should have control over abortion in all trimesters, actually I change my mind. They are doing fine with their laws, it's just I don't agree with the indivual aborting the fetus. The laws are good for certain cases, such as rape victims. All my answers are based on my moral stance.
There's no situation that I could possibly think of where someone else, ANYONE else, has jurisdiction over one of my organs.
You're completely correct. But I'm pretty sure your lungs don't grow into a human (sorry for being a smartass).
I read what you said about rape, etc... and I'm glad you agree with abortion under those circumstances.
Yup, I completely agree that rape victims should have a choice.
Late trimester abortions bother me, the baby would have a reasonable chance to survive at that age. However, taking 'the morning after pill', is just a shot of hormones, and the little clump of cells gets passed out. I just don't see how that's immoral....
I see your point and have no argument against it.
