We are a Pro-Conservative forum. Posts must have a clear pro-conservative, or anti left-wing bias. We are interested in promoting conservatism and discussing things that might get ignored elsewhere. All sources are acceptable, however reputable sources with a reputation for factual reporting are preferred.
-
Dissent is allowed in the comments, but try to be constructive; if you do not agree, then provide a reason which is backed up by references or a reasonable alternative interpretation of the provided facts. That means the left wing is welcome to state their opinions, but please keep it in good faith.
A polite request, not a rule, if you feel the need to report a comment, please don't reply to it.

I view body autonomy as a right. Nothing is more sacred than choosing what’s best for you
@wintermute_oregon So you're an anarchist?
Not at all but one of the most basic rights to control of your own body.
@wintermute_oregon My problem is when you use your own body to harm another body, like a 6 year old child, or a fetus
Six year old children are never aborted. A fetus is just a lump of cells. Either people have body autonomy or they don’t.
@wintermute_oregon We're all a lump of cells. Doesn't mean that you or I should be killed.
A fetus isn’t a person. Equating the time is ignoring a fetus can’t survive outside the womb.
I don’t want anyone telling me what I can and can’t do with my body. As such I respect the rights of others to do as they please.
@wintermute_oregon I think we both support human rights, where we differ is when it comes to what is and isn't a human being
*Civil War flashbacks lol*
There's no good argument for why a fetus isn't a person that doesn't fall into either ableism or ageism, which can potentially justify killing people who have already been born. There's a reason you didn't really try to make one here.
Only mental gymnastics can justify abortion.
And there lies the actual problem. Is a fetus a person or not?
@Blamemeta Yes. A person is a living human being. Fetuses count.
Can they survive outside the womb? If the answer is no, they’re parasites, not human beings.
Sounds heartless but when it comes to the wellbeing of the mother or a parasitic clump that does not yet think or feel, the priority of care should be on the mother. Especially when her life is in danger or she cannot guarantee a good life for the child.
You may disagree, I don’t care.
