Trying to get abortion at what state if the pregnancy?
Bro, you're talking about a 13 year old being forced to give birth. Why tf would you ask "What trimester is she in?!" Versus "Holy shit how have we failed her this badly?!"
Besides, where is the rapist? If she was rapped that mean the rapist is in jail right? Cut his balls, castrate him.
Lmao you think rapists are ever caught?
If they are rapist, yes. Need to prove it to call him rapist
I understand the "holy shit how have we failed her this badly". My question is, at that point are you saying its okay to kill a baby other than have a 13 have a child? What did the baby do to get killed?
Well thankfully, no babies are killed during abortion procedures, so you can stop worrying about that.
Oh wow..... Really?
Yes...? Words have meaning, and often times (especially when we're talking about the law) seemingly minor differences in word choice can make all the difference in the world. That's why any legal document you see has a section at the top defining terms so there can be no question what is meant.
Abortion doesn't directly concern "babies." It usually just involves a blastocyst or maybe a zygote or embryo. Literal clumps of cells that the human body often eliminates on it's own, spontaneously and for no clear reason.
At the very most, it involves a fetus, which is still not a baby.
Yea, I guess that is the main argument right? When is the baby "alive". Some say as soon as conception happens, some say as soon as he/she can breath. I think most would agree that is somewhere in between.
The "baby" exists. That's the crime. Flush it.
Oh wow..... Its the baby fault?
Literally isn't relevant
Fuck that pregnancy, fuck that fetus. I'll fuckin rip it out myself and flush it down the toilet no matter what state of pregnancy it is.
That is what I thought. Does not matter how well the baby is form, what matters ia that I get my life back. Fuck the baby, I want to have time for myself.
Now you're getting it.
