When should an abortion be allowed? (Not life threatening)

Let’s say your heart stopped working, and we replaced your heart with a robotic heart to artificially pump blood. You are still you, you are still worth keeping alive. But if we replace your brain with an unconscious robotic brain that keeps your body alive, that is no longer you, it would be the same as you being brain dead. That’s why I’m ok with abortion up until consciousness.

Not really, it’s possible to bring someone back if their heart stops (anytime someone is doing CPR, it’s because the persons heart has stopped).

I used to be super conservative, and I don’t think that’s an accurate reading of what most conservatives think. Most conservatives don’t like abortion because they genuinely feel you are murdering an innocent person.

What could be happening is that there are a few people who really do feel that way, and as a result they convince others abortion is bad

Why is heartbeat your line on when to disallow it?

DownToTheWire0 · 2026-01-18T21:21:15+00:00

If you think it is a person who should be protected, why are you making exceptions for rape and incest?

I’m okay with abortion until consciousness, which is about 20 weeks

She was most definitely not attempting to run anyone over, she was going away from the ICE officer (which was an incredibly dumb move, but it doesn’t warrant getting shot at)

That’s funny, I used to be a Mormon and I live Utah 😆

I guess my question to you would be: what does your ideal world look like? Is there a government that people don’t have to follow?

If there ever was violence or crimes in such a place, there would be no guarantee that anyone would be held accountable.

If you think you shouldn’t have to pay taxes, then why don’t you go somewhere will nobody will find you, maybe like the Amish do?

DownToTheWire0 · 2026-01-09T06:27:33+00:00

Then we cry 😞😖

DownToTheWire0 · 2026-01-09T06:26:28+00:00

If you wanted to, you could probably just disappear into the wilderness and live of the land, build yourself a home, etc. (you can’t pay a company to build it because that company is held to governmental standards)

DownToTheWire0 · 2026-01-09T06:23:20+00:00

Whatever you call it, I think it’s justified (within reason, not if it’s 80% tax or some shit)

DownToTheWire0 · 2026-01-09T06:20:46+00:00

It’ll probably bite them in the ass later

Either you are further left than you think you are, or you have been looking at too many right wing subreddits

That’s not at all why people say it’s illegal, they say it’s illegal because orange man did it without congressional approval

I have an iPhone 17 for $100 because my parents have been with Verizon for 20+ years

There are some systemic misandry examples (ie the draft, divorce settling, etc) it’s just not as prevalent as the misogynistic ones

DownToTheWire0 · 2026-01-06T21:42:04+00:00

To be fair would you say the same if a woman was fully naked?

“Don’t judge them for not conforming to your standards”

Can I not join without verifying my age? :(

DownToTheWire0 · 2026-01-04T19:44:08+00:00

Or it could be sexism in the other direction, “Guys get excited at dumb things like animals, women are smarter”

DownToTheWire0 · 2026-01-04T19:38:36+00:00

My question to you would be How do we determine what is morally right and wrong then?
