Religion is not based on any reasonable arguments. Keep your religion out of the lives of others.

That's not a good enough reason why the government needs to be involved in making that decision.

My biggest concern, though, is the slippery slope where people may start being denied care to stay living because they're deemed not worth saving. (And for those who will inevitably say "that won't happen" there sure has been a lot of "that won't happen" happening for awhile now.)

Agreed. You know we live in a sick society when people call killing other people “healthcare.” Same with abortion

You know we live in a sick society when people can’t respect the bodily autonomy of others to have control over their own bodies.

Bodily autonomy is the right to like get a tattoo if you want to. Or to not get a vaccine. Not kill things

Nope, guess again.

bodily autonomy is the the ability to free yourself of a parasite leeching off your body.

Slamming the downvote doesn’t change that, btw.

While I’m pro choice myself, a fetus isn’t a ‘parasite’ if that’s what you’re trying to say. It’s a fetus. You can justify abortion without using such extreme language.

And neither is a fetus or embryo a “baby”.

But if you want to get technical, it literally is a parasite, leeching resources off of its host.

I never called it a baby. As I said before I’m pro choice. Even if it was a baby, someone should have the right to not have their body used as life support for a baby, hence why I support the choice to abort up until viability.

It isn’t ‘literally a parasite’, it’s just a fetus. Calling pregnancy a parasitic relationship is incredibly weird.

It is a parasitic relationship.

The host body gains nothing from it.

Meanwhile, something like your gut flora is a symbiotic relationship.

Nobody outside of Reddit calls fetuses parasites.

If conservatives are going to constantly try to appeal to emotion, it’s time to play to their level.

A microscopic embryo is not special, it is not a person, it is a parasitic clump of cells.

So both you and the conservatives will take refuge in being wrong to own the opponent? Sounds anti-intellectual to me.

It's funny when backwards thinkers get revealed because they don't understand sarcasm.
