Your gf is a living human being who can take care of herself, so no it shouldn't be your right. She doesn't need your body to survive, unlike the fetus in her which needs her to survive.
Also, when did it turn ok to kill a kid because it's retarded or from rape? It's not its fault its mom or dad has 'tard genes or its mom got raped because she wore slutty clothes and had it coming.
This is without a doubt the most insane statement I have read in a while, she had it coming? Seems you had a bit to much of the "tard" gene yourself...
And why is it okay? Because the mother has to spend nine months carrying the child and having all the side effects that come along with it. The sickness the physiological and social issues, problems with her job direct environment and/or school.
Not to mention if the person having the baby can't guarantee a reasonable standard of life for the child then sometimes it's best to not have it, before it gets on this big pile of shit and makes it even worse.
And, having a baby has always had risks. The biggest one is the mother dying, so you should have thought about that before getting knocked up..because now you should die.
How is this the case with rape? Not to mention that there are people out there that used protection and it didn't work. Accidents happen. Now imagine you are poor, you have little money and are going to school along with working a dead end job in order to pay for your education just so you can get out of that shit hole you call your home. You use protection but find yourself pregnant anyway, keeping the child will destroy your life, will destroy the child's life and god knows what else. It's idiotic to keep it.
Also, how come the father has no say in the matter? It's his kid, too. Just because it's attached to her body doesn't mean she can do with it as she pleases. I mean, is it ok for a Siamese twin to kill its sibling and when charged for murder say "Well, he's attached to me, so it's my body." Plus, when the hell has the government ever left someone alone to do what they will with their own body? It's illegal to commit suicide and smoke crack, right?
The father has no say in the matter because the father doesn't need to sit around 9 months. The father doesn't face all the problems she faces, and in the end if the father doesn't want the child he is a hell of a lot more likely to get little responsibility from the courts then the mother is. Who will likely have to take care of the child no mater what.
Basically, the whole issue is bullshit and should have never been legalized.
Basically, your an extremist who can't think logically on this issue and thinks that the possibility of life, should be far more important then the already living people.
btw: Why is this in this thread? There already is an abortion thread.
