+196 My Body. My Choice. amirite?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If you're referring to abortion, it was your choice to put yourself at risk of getting pregnant.. so..

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Not always your fault.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I suppose that's true, but I'm talking about people who have sex, not rape victims. If you're old enough to have sex, you should be old enough to accept the concequences and responsibilities it brings on, you know?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I do know. But people make mistakes and losing the right to control what happens to your own person... that isn't cool.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But, like I said, you can't go around making mistakes and not excepting responsibility. :/

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Even if you are old enough, you should still be able to have sex and get an abortion... There is nothing wrong with them. Wow you killed a fetus! It is just a fetus...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

A fetus is the beginning of a baby, it's just a baby- oh wait. :/ I just don't believe in abortions for people who MADE that decision. You can't go around erasing your mistakes.

Sperm is before a fetus, so is it wrong to masturbate?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Your sperm hasn't combined with anything therefore is creating anything. :/ Masturbartion isn't for making babies, essentially, sex is. So really, people shouldn't be so careless.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But it CAN be combined, and become a fetus...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But it hasn't been. :/ That's the point. :P

by Anonymous 13 years ago

A fetus isn't a baby but it CAN. It hasn't become a baby yet. That's the point. :P

It's a growing child. :/

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If you combine sperm with an egg it becomes a growing child. So if you waste sperm, you are wasting the sperm's chance of being a baby, like abortions. So is it wrong to masturbate?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But, there is PLENTY of sperm. :/ YOu can't bake a cake if you don't mix the ingredients first, and even before it's cooked, it's still a cake, it's just not chemically whole yet. (excuse the comparison. :P)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

To your comparison: Some people don't even bake the cake. They eat the batter up. Like abortions, they waste the batter before it becomes a cake.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But, it's still a baby. :/ If batter is still a cake, then a baby is still a baby.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/batter Says nothing about a cake.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It was an example. I couldn't think of anything better at the time. D: But basically, the baby starts at the zygote. So.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

In reply to But, there is PLENTY of sperm. :/ If there is PLENTY of sperm you can make PLENTY of fetuses.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes, but, it's not forming a zygote. D: That's my point. D:

by Anonymous 13 years ago

A lot of sperm+ A lot of eggs= A lot of fetuses that can be abortioned.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But. They aren't zygotes. The cells on their own are just cells. It's when you put them togather.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

If you put them together it becomes...

Sperm+Egg=Zygote>Fetus>babies Wrong to masturbate now?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No, because SURPRISE! Sperm doesn't come into contact with any egss when it's way out in the open. >.>

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Pretend I'm against abortion: Why would I let someone waste sperm, something that could become a baby? What if i came out while my dad masturbated (this is such a pretty mind picture.) I wouldn't get to live, like someone being aborted. But I'm not against abortion so I don't care. :)

by Anonymous 13 years ago

kjdfalksd Because, they're still cells. They have no humaness. :P

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Aren't humans cells?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

No. They're organisms. :/ Made up of cells.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So humans are made up of cells, like sperm.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Sperm itself IS a cell. It's not yet an organism. :/

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Is a fetus?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yus. :|

by Anonymous 13 years ago

So you would let something be wasted cause it isn't an organism?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yes. :/ Your skin cells flake off all the time. You don't see people going around collecting them and trying to get you to take them back.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Skin cellflakes can't become human...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But they're still cells. :/ And they don't do much on their own besides, be all... celly.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well sperm does more then be all cell-like, it can become a baby.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

But not without the egg. On it's own it just is. Which again, is my point.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

A fetus on its own isn't a baby unless it is in the womb

by Anonymous 13 years ago

And now we're at the point where self conscience judges whether or not it's still a baby. I say yes, you say no. This bit isn't really debatable. :P

by Anonymous 13 years ago

NO we can't end the debate, I need something to do!

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Ahaa. :P Sorry. D: We could debate something else on my profile, tbh abortion isn;t something I'm knowledgeable in. >.>

Coat hanger or stairs are usually a good start.

Uh this is true. Nobody makes your decisions.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Wow I don't even understand how people can disagree with this. They're basically saying they don't want to choose what happens to their own body. And, by the way, saying you don't want to have the choice to make decisions concerning your own body implies that you can't make the decision whether or not to have decisions made about your own body. Therefore, you have no say about having a say in what happens to you.

prochoice. my uterus, my rules.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

nono, word it this way: My Baby, My Choice. it's a baby damn it, calling it a fetus doesn't take away that it's alive.. rape or not issue aside: if you can straight up say, "i chose to kill my baby"....then yeah, we'll shut up. just don't expect it to all go back to the way it was afterwards..

You cannot force another woman to carry a baby to term, all the while getting appropriate prenatal care and abstaining from many foods and alcohol. You cannot force a woman to change her entire life and financial situation. You can't force a woman to have a child. Deciding to give birth to a baby is a CHOICE, as well. Let women make CHOICES, whether you agree with them or not. Because unless you are willing to go through her pregnancy and raising/supporting a child until adulthood for her, you can't tell another woman she has to do it if she doesn't want to, either. Imagine a person suffering their entire childhood because they had an abusive mother who couldn't afford and didn't even want a child and it being justified by a STRANGER walking up and saying, 'Well, I made her bring you into this world because I THOUGHT she should.' That's absurd.

It would be your choice if the body of the baby you are carrying was yours. It doesnt matter how old it is, or how it got there or if youre too much of a coward to face your mistakes, it is not just a fetus, it is a whole person, it is alive, and it has a body, and that body isnt yours.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It's your body and your choice as long as it's only yours. But when your resposible for another one who has its home in your womb, you have to take that other one in account as well and not just your own damn stupidity. If you're old enough to have sex you're old enough to face the consequences. There is the problem in today's society people are too damn obsessed with sex. Sex is only supposed to be a way of reproducing, nothing else.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Then why does it feel oh-so good?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Perhaps because someone wanted us to make lots of babies! xD But if your whole world centers around sex, you seriously need a new life. Sex is everywhere and that's why people want to try it and do stupid things. If people just stoped making such a big fuss about sex we wouldn't have a problem. Because really, sex isn't that big of a thing. Sure it's "oh-so good", but it's not anything that's so important that we have to walk around thinking about it all the time.
