Let us now talk about the many risks involved  in having an abortion . 

Since I don't support the pre-2016 Republican establishment, but I oppose Trump's attempt to supplant it, does that make me an antidisestablishmentarian?

On the other hand, Trump and his supporters seem to have succeeded in supplanting the old establishment and in becoming the new establishment. So does that make me a disestablishmentarian?

No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, John 1:18

But as is usual where the scriptures are concerned, John 1:18 contradicts other biblical verses.

A very cruel lie, if you ask me.

Best.Korea: Dear Shila,

Most people dont understand that I determine everyones value by my standards. Even if he had 10 trillion, I would consider him 0. His spank buddies are also 0. So even when all together, they are still 0.

If he wants me to consider him more than 0, maybe he should stop going around and spanking children. 

He is probably a drug addict. So I dont care much about him.

Not everyone values their offspring.

Best.Korea: Its okay to tell people that abortion is wrong.

However, making a law to ban abortion means taking it too far.

Its against democracy. Its against personal choice. 

The next logical step is to claim that not having sex is murder, since it produces the same outcome as abortion. Literally the same outcome!

It seems pointless that we should go back to times when masturbation was considered murder and when everyone was expected to have straight sex and when having kids was forced on people.

What exactly is the point of returning to the biblical laws? 

In most cases, I am against abortion. However, I would not make my will into law. I dont see the point of such law. It would mostly be used to justify further oppression. 

Lol, yes, that is literally the point. We are talking about what we want and don't want. If you want children, if you want to come second to your child, then you can go do that. No one is stopping you. 

I do not want children, and I do not want to come second to my children, even if we're only talking about the 9 months pregnancy. The only 100% guaranteed method of birth control (sterilization) has been repeatedly denied to me, so I am not allowed to exist in a body that can't get pregnant despite my desires. If I am not allowed to sterilize myself, am not allowed access to abortion if I am raped (American women have a 1 in 6 chance of being the victim of rape),  may even lose access to contraceptives in the future, and would probably die if I got pregnant (taking the kid with me, by the way) what actions should I take that would make you happy?

I'm fascinated that the person who gets to do what they want regarding pregnancy and birth is screaming at the person who's been denied almost everything she wants. Avoiding pregnancy is 100% on me, but if I get denied sterilization it's still on me, if I get raped it's still on me, if my state outlaws contraception it's still on me. For an act that takes two people, there sure is an insane amount of responsibility on one person in your mindset.

So why were the Republicans on the wrong side of the Civil War fighting  whites for black rights?

Are you not aware that the racists switch parties whenever a political party does the right thing?

1860 - Republicans free the slaves - racists turn to the Democratic Party

1965 - Democrats pass civil rights legislation - racists turn to the Republican Party

2016 - Trump becomes leader of the racists -  racists turn to the MAGA Trumper Party

This is what is stupid about the whole abortion debate. It boils down to people having hatred for those who aren't even born yet, for a crime they never committed, resolving from a mistake they never made.

If this doesn't show you the current evils of society, I don't know what will.

• I will ask once again:
  

What is your specific criteria for what quantifies "a great deal of variety"?

• If you do not answer the question this time, I will conclude you are hiding behind an incoherent position.

Then you had to come along and reveal them all again.

Thanks for that. And sorry, but the person you are trying

So desperately to reach is Unavailable.

To be perfectly clear.

Republicans do not celebrate diversity. They prefer all Americans to be white, straight, and Christian.

Maybe the morally enigmatic individuals are not so focused on doing what feels good. 

The zealots are so immersed in their own realities, and they completely feel as if they are doing the right thing despite their actions being ethical wrong.

In comparison to this, those with a slightly better moral compass tend to be able to correctly differentiate between wrong and right, and usually act unethically while knowing that what they are doing is wrong. 

I wouldn't say that both groups have given up on considering what is right or wrong. 

This thread is aligned with a previous one called moral ambiguity vs intense fanaticism. 

Since not many people understood what I was asking / were able to answer it, I am going to rephrase the question. 

Here is the situation: 

You have two individuals: an antisemitic zealot who is driven by his ideology and lives by it; a morally ambiguous individual who is more clear-headed. 

The zealot believes that killing Jewish people is the only right option, and is ethically correct. The other individuals understands that killing the Jewish is deemed wrong, and understands that it is not ethically correct. 

Both individuals send 100 Jewish people off to their deaths. Both for different reasons. 

Which situation is ethically WORSE???

Badger has been around for quite some time.  Thett simply had forgotten badger's long history of being a disgusting pervert.  For example, there was a very young girl on a prior debate site who he sexually harassed to the point that she almost left the site.  She was a bit fragile to begin with, but she had a rough home environment.  Which she talked about.  And which badger knew.  

He identified her as someone who was susceptible to his sort of mischief.  Then he targeted her.  And he tried to "groom" her in the exact same way as he tried to accuse me of.  Society treats it differently when it's a fully adult male directing that sort of attention to a 13 or 14 year old girl, which is exactly what badger did.  She's older now and I assume has grown up quite a bit.  And she was irritating, generally, on the site.  But under no circumstances was how he treated her appropriate.

As I suggested, post-dated narrative.

Though I have never stated that a relevant character never existed.

I have only ever sated that such narrative is unverifiable.

Though my real contention with any theistic/deistic narrative is the fantasy stuff.

So, assuming that a Jesus character actually existed, then was he a liar and a lunatic?

Who knows.?

Perhaps he was just an ordinary bloke, who put a lot of time and effort into a fantasy creation hypothesis.

And as we know there a plenty of people about today, who still do that sort of thing.

Is that what will happen if he doesn’t win this Senate seat - he will be destroyed? What qualifies Herschel Walker to be a Senator exactly?

He's an idiot, a compulsive liar, a hypocrite, and he's been on TV a lot,  that qualifies him to be a  Republican Senator, or a Republican President for tht matter.

I think coal is a little mad thett corrected his nonsense projections about my being a paedophile but not my initial point about his being a groomer.

No worries, DM me and you can tell me specific parameters you wish to establish.

It's not a vague word when you consider that we are referring to medical harms. 

Even if we weren't, though, looks are subjective. You can't say that a person's physical features have been harmed because a.) that is insulting and b.) what if there is another person who likes those features? And if the woman isn't bothered by them, what is the problem?

I don't know why a lot of weight would be gained in pregnancy, as you are only supposed to have an additional 200 calories a day toward the end of pregnancy. There is no need to get fat if that is what you're doing.

--> @Uragirimono

Okay...I was hoping I would not get rambling in response to more rudimentary questions, so hopefully, this will narrow the conversation.

• Do you believe an unborn (that is a biological human being at any stage of pregnancy) should have any rights? 
  

--> @Shila

If pregnancies can cause physical injury why do women want to get pregnant and why do they want to abort after they get pregnant?

You realize every woman is going to have a different answer to this, right? I can't speak for all of them. 

I personally do not want to get pregnant because my body would not be able to handle it. If I did get pregnant despite my efforts to the contrary, I would want to abort because I have no interest in going through a high-risk pregnancy or potentially dying just to bring a child into this miserable world.

I'm interested that you only see Correctional and Abuse as the two categories of parent-child relationship.

Which category does it fall into when a parent encourages their child's artistic endeavors? it's not correctional, as there are no social expectations to enforce, but if not done correctly the child's creativity will be crushed, perhaps for their entire lifetime.

I agree that there's a motivational difference between abuse and correction, but if you're saying correction can never be abusive, I disagree. If a child is screaming in the supermarket, there's a difference between beating them and helping them recognize the emotions they're struggling with and offering healthy ways of coping/self-regulating. While the ultimate goal may be correction (because no one wants kids screaming in the supermarket), beating teaches a kid nothing other than "I get beat when I scream" whereas proper coping discipline will follow them throughout the entirety of their life. 

This is also a mindset we only see with children. Children scream in anger and frustration and we beat them. When adults scream in anger and frustration, it's a crime to beat them .

It's my belief we often prefer the beating method (even if the beating is minor) over the educational method because we culturally enjoy the idea of punishment and we also think adults deserve to unleash their feelings of embarrassment and frustration on a child. Even if the adult's motivation was correctional in beating the child, the end result is abuse

Interracial organ transplant.  

Powwwwwwwwwwww , what a topic.  

I'm going to think about that for the rest of the day now.  

Thats awsome. 

I don't th8nk I've thought about that before.    

I've  thought about (Band-aids )  being racist but not inter organ trans. 

Again thanks.  

UPDATE: I found the Reddit post in question.

Now I'm just starting to think you don't know what words mean. Your statement of "in the majority of instances, it does not" result in harm factually proves that sometimes it does result in harm. Sure, if it makes you feel better to consider it that minority of cases I don't care at this point, but even you agree that in a minority of cases, pregnancy causes harm. It is therefore a true statement to say "Pregnancy can cause harm." I am not saying in the majority of pregnancies the woman is harmed. I am saying sometimes pregnancies cause harm.  To be clear, the definition of harm is "physical injury". Pregnancy can cause physical injury is a fact whether you personally were harmed or not.

 abortion is the right of the mother to utilise surgical and medical procedures to terminate an unwanted pregnancy.

• What is the argument for this?
