Anonymous asked: Ok I'm fine with abortion up until a certain point. It's not like you can kill a fetus 5 minutes before birth. There's more of a moral question there and I don't want to take that extreme. But most abortions take place before 21 weeks which is when the nervous system develops. I think 21 weeks is a good limit and should only be passed in cases of rape, life of mother, fatal fetal defect ect. Which are the only cases beyond 21 weeks.
Abortions that take place after 21 weeks are usually because either the fetus won’t make it to birth or the mother won’t. Women who are pregnant for that long planned to have a child and don’t want an abortion but have to have one because continuing the pregnancy will kill them.
the-golden-summer-rose asked: Trust me, I go beyond what my parents tell me plenty. I am well past the age where I believe everything my parents tell me. There are plenty of things we disagree on, but this isn't one of them. This isn't about me wanting kids. It's about me protecting innocent lives that deserve a chance. You're basically saying it's okay to pick and choose who gets a chance at life and who doesn't.
Then you should know that when women are pregnant before they’re ready for a child, not all of them can handle the whole nine months physically or financially.
Do you know how much stress it puts on the body to work while pregnant? And most women can’t afford to miss work.
the-golden-summer-rose asked: I never said i was ready to have kids! I was just stating that I'm a woman who understand the difference between her body and the baby's. And it's still a baby, it's still human.
Well you sure were acting like it.
It’s clear you don’t understand how the world works beyond what your parents tell you so you shouldn’t have a say in matters until you further educate yourself.
And a baby is a baby
a fetus is a fetus
a fetus does not become a baby until it’s born.
the-golden-summer-rose asked: Who the hell said I'm ready to have kids?! I said I'm able to have them because i'm a woman, not that I want to have them! I already said I'm asexual! I DON'T want kids, or at least don't want to have them. And a FETUS is just a scientific name for an UNBORN BABY, used to dehumanize them. Yes, they're not fully developed, but they're still babies. Look at the DNA, look at the cellular activity. They're alive, and they can feel pain.
Oh, in your last ask you were all “I’m a woman and I’m ready for children so everyone else should be too”
And a baby is not a baby until it’s born.
the-golden-summer-rose asked: I'm sorry, but I can't say that. As a woman myself, who is perfectly capable of having children, I understand exactly what I'm saying in this matter. A baby is a baby, and is separate from the mother. The only connection they have is the umbilical cord, but they are still two different bodies. And I know how bad family pressure can be. But if the parents want the baby so badly, you know what, let them have the baby! That's what's really going on!
Just because you’re ready to have kids doesn’t mean everyone else is. Not everyone is like you and the world is not what you want it to be.
And yes, a baby IS a baby. But a FETUS isn’t a baby. Not yet.
the-golden-summer-rose asked: Yes, but if you arrange the adoption before birth, no one can do shit about it. And I'm not against inducing labor to force out a dead baby. It's healthier for the mother. The people who don't want to do that think it's inhumane to force a woman to give birth to something dead, but, again, it's still healthier.
Yeah and you’re not taking into account how bad family pressure can be.
What I’m trying to tell you is to let a woman do what she wants with her own body and for all intents and purposes, the fetus is a part of her body until the umbilical cord is severed.
the-golden-summer-rose asked: Okay, if the baby hurts the mother or dies, then yeah, it needs to go, and they should induce labor, rather than abortion, because an abortion scars the uterus and makes conception much, much harder, because a baby can't plant itself on the scarred uterine lining. That's another reason I'm against it, because if they want kids in the future, it's a lot harder. And I am all for same sex adoptions! They are just as good as having a mom and dad, and even better than having just a mom or just a dad.
you can’t induce labor when the fetus is underdeveloped and Pro Lifers made it so you can’t induce labor at all anyways. And whether a woman wants kids or not is her choice. Not yours. And it doesn’t matter if you’re for same sex adoption because a majority of the country apparently isn’t.
This is so important I have to post it.
People who say that being homosexual is against their religion contradict themselves so much because sure, your religion MIGHT teach you that homosexuality is wrong, but I can guarantee you that whatever religion you are, there will be far FAR more teachings in your scripture about treating people with respect etc etc than there will be about homosexuality being ‘wrong.’
I love this
The bible doesn’t even say homosexuality is a sin.
What it means is either “don’t treat a man like a woman because women are lesser” or “don’t sleep with another mans wife in his bed” depending on the translation.
What it DOES say about homosexuality is that jesus blessed a centurion and his male sex slave (who were romantically involved but the sex slave was still a sex slave)

the-golden-summer-rose asked: Okay, here's my stance on that whole body thing. The baby is not her body. It is a separate entity that entirely survives on her taking care of it. And millions of couples try to adopt babies, and they don't get them. That's not their fault, and it's not the fault of the kids. I know all of that about teenage childbirth, and about families pressuring them to keep the baby, but ultimately, it comes down to this. Is sacrificing an innocent life who didn't ask to be alive really an okay thing?
You know who can get children out of hte foster system? All the thousands of same sex couples who want to adopt. Too bad religious nuts who don’t give a damn about basic human rights won’t let them.
And anywho, a fetus is usually aborted when it’s still undeveloped and looks like every other animal fetus in the early stage. The only time more developed fetuses get aborted is when it’s actually killing the mother or it “dies” in the womb. But those are babies that the mothers actually want and planned for. They used to actually induce labor to remove the fetus so that it’s in tact until pro lifers who don’t understand the circumstances were pissed and forced the removal procedure to be changed so they have to snip off the limbs and drag it out. Remember, these were actually planned pregnancies that went wrong and caused health problems with the fetus or the mother and had to be removed.
