Expand it beyond viability? Why not just go all the way to when the water has already broken like many democrats want?

You ignorant wingnuts are barbaric.

Late-term abortion overwhelmingly only occurs when the medical situation is horrifically dire.

I think it's also ok if the parents are no longer together. I heard of a female celebrity who got pregnant, and was originally going to keep the pregnancy and raise the hypothetical child with her boyfriend together, but then he cheated on her and they broke up.

It's better to have an abortion than to raise a child in a split up family.

You call us barbaric when you're killing babies? LMFAO at the level of hypocrisy.

You're a moron.

The vast majority of abortions aren't "killing babies."

Unless of course, you believe scrambling eggs is killing chickens.

  1. The fact you have to say "the vast majority" isn't a good thing. Especially when you have democrats on camera saying they want to get pregnant just to get an abortion.

  2. That comparison doesn't work as the eggs we cook don't contain chicks. They're unfertilized. For someone calling someone else a moron you sure seem to be lacking in basic knowledge.

A fertilized ovum isn't a human being you numbnuts. And you're categorically insane if you think people want to get pregnant just to get abortions.
And I guarantee plenty of fertilized chicken eggs get cooked, and guess what? They're not chickens.

The bottom line is that there are plenty of good reasons to get an abortion, whether medical, social, or psychological.

So, keep your medieval irrational beliefs to yourself.

  1. Actually I'm against most wars.

  2. I don't support child labor with certain exceptions like family businesses or kids in movies.

  3. The draft hasn't happened in decades and I'd be surprised if it ever happened again even if another world War did.

  4. Sload isn't a word so not sure what you're trying to say as an insult. So how about you fuck off and learn some actual ones.

You guys have higher obesity rates, lower rate of education. You're less likely to listen to classical music, or to have travelled abroad (being deployed in Iraq doesn't count).

So all for body positivity until you need a negative point? Also less educated? If you mean college then I hate to tell you but in many cases it's more or less useless. Also not sure what listening to classical music has to do with anything. As for traveling abroad if you're looking down on people for not doing that you're an elitist.

I'm not a member of the body positivity movement. In fact, my views on BMI are more similar to the average person in Japan than the average progressive Westerner.

This is way off topic for this post, but I wanted to comment that the body positivity movement is about acceptance of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities, while challenging present-day beauty standards as an undesirable social construct. While most people are capable of having a healthy body through healthy diet and exercise, there are still many people trapped in a larger body due to various conditions and illnesses. Body positivity is just a matter of accepting and respecting other humans, no matter what they look like. It’s just common decency. There are other movements out there that try to glamorize obesity and say it’s healthy, but I think it’s typical of any movement for people to twist things to the extreme.
