Im conservative, and I follow many conservative ideas, one of which being that the degredation of morality and self-control and responsibility in society (caused in fraction by abortion but majorly by other things and people's raising in general) is a bad thing. The fact that abortion is one contributor is reason enough to get rid of it, along with the rest, which I would also be against. That is something many people would agree on. Its not some lunatic prediction, its happening now.
It is actually self-invented isn't it? Because it doesn't exist. I don't mean YOURSELF, I mean someone decided "Ok, this is how the future will be if this, this and this carries on.". Based on what? Negatively projecting the results of things you dislike.
Anybody could do the opposite and be as accurate.

ERRRR... You are completely biased as well, following a very liberal agenda that seems to revolve around the basis that everybody has unlimited rights. Everyone does not have the ability to do whatever they want to themselves if it does not at first affect anyone else, because eventually it could, and many times does lead people to problems later. Post-Partum Syndrome effects the mother, leading to depression sometimes and even suicide. On the subject of suicide, you could argue that suicide only affects the one person physically, but it also affects everyone around the person who killed themselves.
I'm not completely biased to any one side. I'm just for the right to choose. I don't love, like, dislike or hate abortion. It just needs to be an option, as does adoption.
Nobody has unlimited rights, they stop when others are being infringed upon. When you place yourself in the way so you're imposed upon anyway, it doesn't count, as you are doing. That's like me walking into a bar where everyone's already smoking and saying "This is disgusting, I'm gonna sit here and moan.".
Post-partum isn't definite, it's a possibility, just like it's possible she'll go on to live a better life because of the abortion. Your suicide analogy is bs, if I killed myself it wouldn't matter to anyone here, likewise to you, or at least it shouldn't.

People with abortions are much more likely to be irresponsible in the future as well, and child abuse rates have increased proportionally alongsides abortions over the past 30 years, sprouting not alone from abortion, but all of the other uncaring actions that go alongside it as well. You can look up abuse rates yourself if you want.
How do you know they're much more likely to be irresponsible? Now we're tying child abuse to abortion? Are you kidding me? What an idiot.
We're not discussing child abuse, we're discussing abortion, and abortion isn't any more to blame for child abuse than it is to blame for the ozone layer's hole.

And throughout your debate Ive heard a lot about "rights" and stuff like that, as I said earlier and you know for yourself. I would be interested to know where in the world you live. I could make a guess and say the U.S., but that would just be a guess based off of the level of arrogance and rights activism I see from your attitude. Democracy never implies ulimate freedom. Not by a longshot, there are limits to everything, and reasons they are made.
I'm from England. Who's discussing ultimate freedom? I'm saying women have the right to decide what they do with their foetus, and nothing you can say will prove any definitive impact on you or your life.

Fine according to who, you? The world didnt explode but does that mean things are fine? There are other people in the world, not just those who preach the right to do nothing about our problems. Abortion is a problem. If the major gut instinct of everyone, and you yourself admitted you do not like the abuse of abortion, is that something is not right -then somethign is not right. Just because it doesnt effect me, doesnt mean I should ignore it. I heard this same lameass arguement about the Iraq war. "If it doesnt hurt America then who cares what happens to the rest of the world".
Abortion is a problem according to who? Why are our views subjective and somehow abortion is an objective problem based on an imaginary future? Odd view. You're twisting it; the abuse of abortion is a problem with people, like the abuse of anything. The procedure is not forcing people to abuse it, it exists and so people are. That sucks, but it's a sacrifice that has to be made to ensure the freedom of many who use it responsibly. You say there is no responsible use of abortion based on the fact that you feel everyone should deal with it, and your kind are dying out.

No, it is not wrong at all. Every action effects other actions, and effects others. Sometimes in ways you could never guess. Newtons laws work socially too. For everything you do, there are consequences, there are repercussions. Maybe I have idealistic views, but I have all the right in the world to try and BETTER the world. Apparently things arent the way you want it either -Ive seen you arguing about drugs in another topic.
Do you realise that "better" is subjective? That your ideal world may be a hellhole to many?

Thats always a reason to steer clear isnt it? What about those people in the Lebanese refugee camp? They could all die and if not for the media we would never know about it. Is it then right to sit on our asses and watch? I would guess yes, in your case.
Yes, it is. Who the f*ck are they to me? It doesn't affect me in any way possible. I couldn't give a shit about anyone but myself, my loved ones and those I care about, regardless of who they are.
Where was it written that I have to give my concern to nobodies? You have a warped view of the world.

Yes, I do hope you will see the light too. Just like me for you though, I doubt it. Every child should get its place. Just becuase they cant voice their own opinions, doesnt mean we can just get rid of them like animals in a slaughterhouse. Like "Here's the runt-off with his head!"
Yeah, it does actually mean we can get rid of them.

And I think its people like you who are dangerous. The very fact you think the way you do only goes to prove to me things arent "alright" as you put it.
To who? You? You need to realise your view of the world as it "should" be is not the default here.

I dont want to live in a world where everyone is selfish and self-centered with their scientific power and being able to legally stop babies from being born because they dont want them at a whim of bad choice. That just leads to the next thing, and someday, something worse. Thats the beginning of the end. Theres no apocolaypse greater than what we can do to uncivilize ourselves.
YOU are being self-centred. You don't give a shit about other people, you only care about your views being forced and you are using foetuses as a tool to do so. How do I know this? I know this because I know the key flaw in your debate and the debate of others like you:
Everyone you are against were foetuses too, and you're oppressing them, the very right you'd fight to protect, you'd remove once they reach a certain age. You'll fight for them as foetuses, you fight for them to have lives, then you seem to act as if they only have those rights when they are a foetus. You value those higher than people here. It's a self-defeating argument.
So why do you want the foetus to live? I'll propose why; because you want to fill its head full of your own opinions in the hopes it'll grow up to be like you. You don't want it to have a chance at life, you want to use it.

By the way, I would call pro-choice very apethetic. 'We build it and patent it, so its ours for the keeping....'
Precisely, and maybe it is apathy. Why should I care what a woman does? But if I'm going to take action, it's pro-choice.

By the way. Still waiting for that essay. 😉
I've said everything in this post that was in the essay, even copy and pasted parts of it.
If you genuinely want me to paste the insults, despite previously requesting otherwise, there may be less to you than I thought.
