Well I'm not going to defend death penalty because I'm against it. My point was to illustrate how poor argument that is.
I replied to their accusation on another thread.
I don’t think that drawing a line means it wouldn’t be allowed under any circumstances after that. Before the line, it would be at the mother’s discretion, and after passing the line, you’d need a statement from one or two doctors and a valid medical reason for it.
Where I live abortion is legal untill 12 weeks and after that you need a medical reason for it and a statement from 2 doctors. What's wrong with this?
You are being forced to feed a parasitic being in your body, a being that destroys your body in the process.
Okay, let's take this reasoning even further then. Why can't this same logic be used to a 3 year old?
Death penalty is justice. Abortion is cruel & horrifying.
See? That's how convincing your reasoning is. Luckily the other people responding are atleast addressing the question.
lemm.ee is down, so I’m using one of my many other accounts. But hey, whatever it takes to dismiss the question and throw in an ad hominem instead, right?
The thing I’ve yet to figure out about the abortion debate, and what likely gets me labeled as a right-wing bigot for even daring to ask, is where 'pro-choice' people draw the line. The 'pro-life' view is clear: life starts at conception. However, I don’t know where the left draws the line, and in my mind, refusing to do so seems to suggest it would be fine even a day before birth, which seems like an equally extreme position.
Surely we can acknowledge the difference between a person who came to the country legally and someone who illegally crossed the border. It’s not racist to want a functioning border. A huge number of people voting for Trump are immigrants from Latin America themselves, and even they don’t want people illegally entering the country.

How do you know you're going to die due to pregnancy without visiting a doctor? You're not going there to prove anything. You're going there for a diagnosis. Doctor is the medical expert, not the mother.
