You can argue that fetus is a potential life sure, but to sacrifice an actual in progress life with hopes and dreams is a waste, versus one that currently only knows instinct if anything. permalink fedilink source parent [–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 13 points 2 years ago (1 child) You do realize not all pro choice folks would choose to do it themselves most of the time right? Just because I think someone should be able to get gender affirming care doesn't mean I only want it so I can get 10 gallon bag mommy milkers. It's called being able to empathize beyond your own horizons. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] vaionko@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 years ago Obviously people want abortion to be legal so they can so abortions for fun /s permalink fedilink source parent [–] wildginger@lemmy.myserv.one 11 points 2 years ago Begone, anti fact kook permalink fedilink source parent [–] Infinity187@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago Eat shit. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Smokeless7048@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago I just had a son 2 months ago, i love him dearly, and enjoy spending every day with him. I completely respect my wifes autonomy over her body, and she could have chosen to abort the clump of cells which became my son. Its her body. permalink fedilink source parent [–] assassin_aragorn@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago If we detect a debilitating birth defect in the third trimester that meant they'd only live for a few hours in pain? Yes. I'm not subjecting my children to torment like that. It's inhumane and child abuse. permalink fedilink source parent [–] yuriy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago 🤡 permalink fedilink source parent [–] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Do you really believe that? That future children exist? Why do corn producers not care about all their dead children (seeds) and only care about the corn fields? Did they "abort" those "children"? permalink fedilink source parent [–] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago Why worry about a future child?
