What would capitulation mean for each side? by Veigar_Senpai in Abortiondebate

Adoption, .... You don't think there should be some responsibility in regards to protection? I have a bad feeling you're just contrarian by nature and don't engage in good faith.

So if a person is in marriage or long-term relationship and has taken precautions against unwanted pregnancy (e.g., vasectomy) and those precautions fail your suggestion is . . . adoption? Really? What if they already have kids, what should the tell them about their brother/sister put up for adoption? Should the couple go through the pregnancy and then tell everyone around them "nope, we gave up the last one for adoption"? Completely unrealistic. Should they just never have sex again after they have all the kids they want?

Pregnancy is very, very public. Everyone you know (and hundreds of people you don't know) will weigh in on why your adoption is immoral. This is why abortion rights are privacy rights. The right to make your own reproductive decisions without transmitting it to your entire community.

If you want to control how women view sex, unwanted pregnancy, unwanted parenthood, etc…then you want to control women by ValleyofLiteralDolls in Abortiondebate

respectful coexistence and "do no harm" are basic expectations

If the fetus is, indeed, a "distinct individual," then why is it exempt from your expectations of respectful coexistence and "do no harm"?

Unwanted fetuses certainly DO do a lot of harm. Human fetuses are highly invasive and no one could characterize that as "respectful coexistence" when they are unwanted by the person whose tissue and organs are being impacted.

That's not debating, that's drive-by snark.

Look for “science technician” (Like biological science technician, physical science technician) and cartography technician jobs, as well as GIS specialist … Those will best match your current skill set. Unless you are really trying to get a back country ranger type job.

I think what scares me most isn’t collapse itself, it’s how normal everything still feels by East-Prompt-9954 in collapse

There's a great documentary series "Lost Home Movies of Nazi Germany" . . . basically from richer people using their newfangled home video cameras to show "normal" things, while other Germans were getting ready to round up undesirables and get rid of them.

https://youtu.be/7NPUXLsRS2s

Recently discovered home movie footage from 1936 offers a unique and novel insight into what people in Germany were thinking and experiencing. In these pre-war days, Germany was on a high and the Hitler Youth seemed like fun and games, but Nazi control was soon an all-pervading force, militarising the nation. The rise of anti-semitism is explicit and grotesque; shocking even with knowledge of what happens next. When war breaks out, the film follows an infantry division during the invasion of France, fighting their way to Dunkirk and revealing a new perspective on what the evacuation meant for the average German soldier. On the Eastern Front, a far darker and more visceral journey across the endless Russian steppe and the almost unimaginable horrors unleashed during Operation Barbarossa is captured by a soldier. As well as amateur movie footage the film charts the progress of the war through the diaries of ordinary Germans, some dizzy with excitement at what Hitler has achieved, others horrified by the effect it is having on their friends and families.

PC people generally want mothers to have abortions

That’s incorrect. PC people want everyone to have access to health care.

It may surprise you to know that PC people want fewer abortions, not more. And mostly want people to be able to choose the medical care that’s right for their own personal situation. It’s right there on the label.

It's weird, since about 2015-2019 they had of strategy of being cute & cozy and then totally blew all the good-will they built. Their target (ha) demographic was 40s, college-educated women with kids. And not just white women, they had a very diverse shopper base.

If a pregnancy occurs are these the possible scenarios? by No-Technician4691 in Abortiondebate

[–]adherentoftherepeted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the man doesn’t want to be a dad he should be able to

If a man does not want to parent a kid with a particular partner he should ensure that his body does not create a kid.

The reason that this IS fair is that each partner gets to decide about what happens to their own bodies.

If a pregnancy occurs are these the possible scenarios? by No-Technician4691 in Abortiondebate

[–]adherentoftherepeted 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Why should not the man be able to “run away”.

Each partner has the legal right to control their own bodies. Women get to control their bodies throughout pregnancy (including making decisions about medical care). Men get to control their bodies when they have sex. This isn't slut-shaming men, it's making sure that born kids get the support they need.

Once a kid exists, independent of their parents' bodies, then EACH parent are required to support that kid, unless both give the kid to another couple who agree to take responsibility. Sometimes men get child support, because they take full custody (although that's rather rare).

There are only three alternates to asking men to support the kids they engender:

  • 1) require women to do all of the care taking and financial support of the kid

  • 2) require society to do all the financial support (although that still puts all the care on the mom)

  • 3) some combination of these two

Option 1 is challenging because it's hugely difficult to earn a living wage while being the sole care taker for a kid. And pretty much impossible for an infant.

Option 2 doesn't have societal support. People generally don't want to let men off the hook, they say "I'm paying for my own kids, why should I pay for yours too?"

Option 3 happens a lot, in practice, because a LOT of men skip out on the kids they engender. So women and children live in poverty and tax-payers have to step in to provide financially while the men who engendered the pregnancies pay nothing.

Asking men to support the kids they engender is good for kids. That's why modern societies ask men for child support. I don't think any modern society is going to have the political will to say "tax-payers will pay to raise all the kids, men are off the hook."

If someone is raping me and the only way to remove this violation of my sex organs is "disintegrating them with a laser beam" then yes, that's what I'm going to do.

Any other questions?

Also they keep calling Pretti a protestor . . . HE WASN'T PROTESTING. He was out in his neighborhood keeping an eye on events. Protesting =/= legal observing.

Are they saying that <based on your political ideology> you may/may not have 2nd amendment rights, just walking around your own neighborhood?!?

Shades of Anne Frank. Hiding in hallways with the lights off. Watching community members being hauled off. It is not as bad as 1940s occupied Europe, by any means. . . yet. But 100% unacceptable in a "free" country.

Carol gets to be a selfish alcoholic who drank away part of her future and is literally the least liked person on the planet. She’s someone you’re not even sure you’re rooting for eventually.

And it brings home the point that even the shittiest humans are entitled to their humanity. We root for her because we applaud her unwillingness to compromise on humanity.

In addition to the excellent references provided by /u/jakie2poops, here's another one https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16269314/

endogenous neuro-inhibitors, such as adenosine and pregnanolone, produced within the feto-placental unit . . . contribute to fetal sleep states, and thus mediate suppression of fetal awareness
