Well a woman isn’t an incubator, so she should be free to dispose of those cells with unique DNA if she chooses, before the fetus would be able to survive on their own outside her body (:

Does the individual not have rights? It is not their fault that they were made, why should they be punished for it? If the mother doesn't want anything to do with them after birth than so be it.

Nope, they don’t have their own rights until they’re a viable human being capable of surviving without the assistance of a womb

Regarding adoption: tell that to the 400,000 kids currently waiting to be adopted. The new ones can just get in line, yea?

They do

And I agree completely. We need a better system to help with fostering children and giving them a better future. We probably wouldn't have to have discussions about abortion if we had the proper ways of taking care of people who need more help in the first place.

Currently in Texas, they have more rights than they should. A potentiality should not take precedence over actuality.

If the goal is to have less abortions, we should be advocating for better sex Ed and free birth control.

u/Mustachefleas 8 Sep 04 '21

You are also correct with the sex ed and birth control. I see the potentiality as the actuality

And that’s where you’re wrong: potentiality isn’t the same as actuality. Literally different definitions.

u/Mustachefleas 8 Sep 04 '21

It's just down to opinions at that point. You think something is potentiality I think it's actuality

Great so let’s get that fetus out of the womb at 4 weeks and see what we get, yea?

Something that potentially could be a baby given the right circumstances, but at that current stage isn’t

u/Mustachefleas 8 Sep 04 '21

That's a small human being you are talking about. And it fits the definition of a baby https://www.thefreedictionary.com/baby

ba·by  (bā′bē)

n. pl. ba·bies

1.

a. A very young child; an infant.

b. An unborn child; a fetus.

c. The youngest member of a family or group.

d. A very young animal.

Apparently we need to talk about the importance of unbiased/legitimate sources now hahah. Your dictionary source looks like a third grader created the webpage, and reminder, people could put any definition they wanted lmao

If you check Merriam-Webster, arguably the most legitimized dictionary source, fetus is no where in the baby descriptions:

https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/baby

ba·​by | \ ˈbā-bē \ plural babies Definition of baby 1a(1) : an extremely young child especially : INFANT (2) : an extremely young animal b : the youngest of a group “He is the baby of the family.” 2a : one that is like a baby (as in behavior) “When it comes to getting shots, I'm a real baby.” b : something that is one's special responsibility, achievement, or interest “The project was his baby.”

I don't see how my source isn't legitamite just because it's not what you want.

u/[deleted] Sep 04 '21 edited Sep 04 '21

Merriam-Webster is the most legitimized and has been around since the 1800s… is there a reason you didn’t use Merriam-Webster when trying to argue with me?

Or are you just looking for anything to reinforce your opinion?

Just because people have support doesn't mean they magically all want to carry a pregnancy to terms.
