and what of the people out there who are prolife? aren't you doing the same, forcing your beliefs upon them?
How? If they wanna keep the baby, they can do so. I feel everyone has the right to choose, what pro-lifers need to realise, as a lot of them do not, is that it's a CHOICE to be pro-life also. You cannot force pro-lifeism on me or anybody else.
I'm not forcing you to suppress your views. You can rant and rave about abortion all you like, but when it gets to the point that you force that opinion on others, as you would do, it's wrong

and one of these options includes snubbing out the life inside her? what gives you or me, or her, more of a right to live than the potential life dwelling within her?
Me? No right. You? No right. Her? Every right. Why? She created it, housed it, hosted it, fed it, sustained it etc. I'm sure you get the picture.

yes, it could die at birth. yes, it could be the next ted bundy. yes, it could be another whatever. then why procreate in the first place? if we are risking this with every baby that is born, perhaps we should just start cloning humans, so that they might be reared up in a controlled atmosphere. your argument goes against people having families, against having children and raising them. life is a gamble. maybe the baby will be the best human ever to walk the earth, maybe it'll be the worst. we have no way of knowing this.
Because it's the continuation of our species, that's why we procreate. The world is massively overpopulated as it is, we're not gonna die out because women have abortions.
Why do we have to know if it'd be good or bad? At the point of abortion, it's nothing, but the woman isn't. The woman is a living, grown human. She has more right to be here than the foetus does, and the foetus is here BECAUSE of her. You are playing a very, VERY silly semantics game, and if these are your views on abortion, I will defend your right to said opinion, no matter how stupid I think it is. What I will not defend, and what you have no right to do, is apply your beliefs to anyone else.

this is why I would not vote on it in the first place. but, if forced to, I would go with prolife. and you really need to stop questioning my manhood. it's a childish attempt at getting a rise out of me.
It's not a childish attempt at anything. For someone who makes such manly claims, such as standing up for what you believe in an accepting one's "duty", you really do prance around when it comes to saying what's at hand. You WOULD force your belief on others in order to defend your own, and it's being proven with every single post you make. Admit it or stop claiming otherwise.

thats the whole point. it deserves the chance to grow, to develop, to experience life to the fullest. if it becomes hitler part two, so be it. if it becomes a rapist, hey, free will, it made that decision on it's own.
To who? To you? What happened to not having the right, or not knowing who does have the right? You think it deserves the chance, you are 100% entitled to THINK that, but you are forceful and oppressive if you would push that onto a female.

fact is that the only people who post here, with the exception of myself and a couple of others, are prochoice. naturally they are going to join forces, thats how we are as human beings.
We're not joining forces, I don't care who else is replying to you or what they are saying; The FACT is, you would force your beliefs on others if you had to, and to say you would ban abortion, or you think it should be banned, is doing so. You continue to deny it, so you're a hypocrite. If others are saying the exact same thing, it doesn't mean we're joining forces, it means you're as see through as thin ice.

i see people posting ine liners here every day and not getting called on it. for some reason I get called on it constantly. preffered treatment? and I have just as much of a right to be here as you, so you can shove "if you dont like the way we do things here you can leave" up your ass.
Chill out. It's not preferred treatment, and it's not one-liners initially I have a problem with. It's you always doing it and RARELY contributing fully to a debate, such as now. You prance around suggesting everyone shouldn't take debates so "seriously", but welcome to the GDF. You migrated here from the OTF, so you have the burden of acceptance. If you dislike the general demeanour of this forum, I SUGGEST you go elsewhere. If you do not do so, you have zero right to complain. Especially since you get in debates and then expect nobody to reply with any real seriousness just because you don't care enough.
It's really very rude, RJ.

so a man who is lookung forward to being a father, who is going to be there for her day in and day out, it has no effect on him?
Who said that? There are issues regarding fathers' rights that we could very well discuss, but that's no call to ban abortion, that's a call to discuss others involved, and I still think the female needs to have the final say. In any case, you are not the father of every baby, you only ever have involvement if it happens to a potential child of your own. Until then, keep your nose out of business that is of no concern to you.

my idea of discussing it like an adult is not passing my word of as law, and not calling everyone idiots who does not conform to my way of thinking.
Yeah, and your idea of debating is "I see it differently.", a.k.a the Rogue Jedi way of seeing things because he's wrong-way.
The fact of the matter is; banning abortion for personal reasons is forcing personal opinion on other people, ergo; it's forcing beliefs. You "not seeing" it that way, is just you being a blind, ignorant and oppressive fool. It's not a matter of "Oh we see things differently, it's subjective.". It's not. Banning abortion is forcing beliefs.

again, by voting prochoice you ae forcing your beliefs on prolifers.
How? I've explicitly explained to you why that isn't so. I'm not forcing anyone to DO or NOT DO anything. I'm SUPPORTING the right to choose, which every born human has. I'm not removing any options from any female. I am supporting keeping BOTH. YOU are voting to remove one.
I am not voting to suppress your opinion, you have your opinion all day. I'm voting to make sure these people's rights are kept, and you are not. So you have no right to talk of freedom, because you are not for it.
If you're going to keep ignoring the explanations of the many as to why pro-choicers are not forcing beliefs, then you should stop saying we are, because it's ignorant after we've explained it.

by saying "i believe this, accept it" I am just saying that this is my stance on said issue. I am not trying to convert anyone here, I am just sticking to my guns. seriously, what would you think of someone who changed their way of thinking just to please you? sorry, I am not built like that. I have accepted my stance, and I am of gthe opinion that I am not a hypocrite. If you want to discuss this issue, it's pros and cons, let's have at it.
You aren't trying to convert, because you know that not everyone will, and I am not trying to convert you, because I respect your right to be pro-life. I do not respect any right to remove rights from others, you feel you have that right, and you do not.
You are assuming we are trying to make you pro-choice, we're not, or I'M not. I couldn't care any less. I'm just telling you that you are a hypocrite for saying "I'm not forcing my beliefs.". By banning abortion, you would be, and that is a fact.
So next time, check your argument at the gate, because it's not happening, and until you give an admission of hypocritical argument, you will not receive quarter from me, and I would imagine others too.
Sticking to your guns? HA! That's the one thing you aren't doing. "I enjoy freedom.", "I'd ban abortion.", "I stand for what I believe in.", "I'm no oppressive beliefs.". You're falling like bricks. You maintain the idea that you aren't being oppressive simply because you hate the idea of being one of "those people.", and maybe you aren't one of those people to such an extreme, but you're certainly one of them to an extent if you would ban abortion.
Stick to your guns and accept that if you HAD to stand by your belief on abortion, you would HAVE to be oppressive.
