You and a couple others keep talking about the mother's rights, but you don't seem to realize that by allowing abortion in every single situation regardless of whether or not carrying a baby would medically or psychologically damage the mother, you are reducing the fetus' rights to ZERO.
We do realize we're reducing the fetus rights - I think you're missing the point that we don't care. To the people that value the rights of the mother over the rights of the fetus, the rights of someone who is already a person automatically take precedence over something that hasn't yet developed. The mother is a person - we can very clearly see that she has feelings, is aware of her surroundings, and that her life can seriously be f*cked up if she goes through with a nine month unwanted pregnancy. The fetus is an underdeveloped pile of cells, which when it's young enough, has none of those properties - it has no feelings, is not aware it exists, and it's life cannot be messed up because it doesn't have one.


Not around so much now that school's started

"Live a good life.
If there are gods and they are just,
then they will not care how devout you have been,
but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by.
If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them.
If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life
that will live on in the memories of your loved ones."
Marcus Aurelius
