50 “Normal” Things People Still Find Bizarre Or Wrong

#NotAllBoomers, but enough of them joined the Reagan cult and fückèd things up for everybody.

An ablation is a knife in the heart and that's a medical procedure. If you're going to use an analogy, do it right. Abortion is a medical procedure that can save a woman's life, either in the short term, medically, or in the long term, by allowing her continue to live her live without an unwanted child.If you don't like abortion then you d**n well better be out there lobbying for free birth control for females and males, as well as day-after pills. Otherwise, you don't really care about protecting children, all you care about is controlling women's bodies, and you're another d**n misogynist.

I'm sure this "scientist" is giving a hefty amount of the great salary they make in the field of science to charities supporting homeless children, single mothers and orphans. And I bet they fully support a robust social safety net to support impoverished mothers and children. This is what your averaged anti-choice person does, right? Otherwise, they'd be total hypocrites.

Probably adopted several babies as well :-P

i can't even start to understand the stupidity of this comment. stating biology means i should adopt babies? you people really have such a difficult time understanding that someone can be proabortion but also think something is living?

aaah yes of course because i say im pro abortion but this is how biology works i obviously must donate my money. good argument, never thought about that before but now i will. oh now i read the last part, thats only for anti choice people? im not anti choice as my very first sentence indicated... what should i do turk?

Calm down, nobody attributes these notions to you. Yes, something dies. SomeTHING, a cluster of cells. Anyway, at about 20 weeks, there's the first signs of perception in the embryo, from that point on, it is at least possible that it feels something. Of course, that's nowhere near a developed brain of an animal, human or other, that clearly and - among compassionate people unquestionedly - deserves ethical consideration. Now, the embryo, at least for 20 weeks, has nothing that would justify it being taken into account, let alone make it mandatory. Not everything directed at you, just a general statement, partially.

None of your previous statements indicate that you're pro abortion. I don't know why you're claiming to be now.

every statement i made says im proabortion, every single one. i just mention its a biological living thing and people lose their mind Because you cant comprehend it.

by the way ablation is not the medical term for a knife in the heart. just saying if you are going to correct people with medical terms you should also use the right terms.

Abortion is actually a far safer medical procedure than childbirth. If somehow you're even worried about the woman. Which I doubt. But my point is at what point does it, for you, go from being just a blastocyst to a human being? Please elaborate.

i think its always human being. as soon as conception happens. but only 12% of abortions are for medical reasons. 87% are because people don't want the kid. its funny how you can literally be pro abortion but call something biologicallly living and people lose their s**t. but maybe you can educate me, when does a embryo/fetus/baby become a living thing?

Then you should support séx education in school, free contraception, free healthcare for mothers. But conservatives DON'T support those things. You care about the fetus, but as far as you're concerned the child deserves nothing.

CatD, I'm not an American (the world is bigger) so yes in my country we have s*x ed, and we have free healthcare (go figure), your assumption because I say something is living therefore i must be an American conservatist shows the exact problem with your thinking. Either you are left and prochoice so a fetus can't be considered living or you are right so prolife and abortion must be illegal. No I am a thinking human being that can accept both things are true. I am for free health care for everyone, not just for mothers because I say an embryo/fetus/baby is alive. So cut your dumb rhetoric about how I must be blablabla...

I don’t know if you knew this, but….people are allowed to not want a kid.

And who cares about the lives of the adults that children will become? Let's condemn women, or married couples, to a life of poverty because they can't afford a child.

Power puff - what about the mother? What if she was ráped? Is the baby's "right to live" more important than her trauma of bearing her rápist's child? What if it was the result of incest? Is its "right to live" still more important than the mother's rights? What if it the mother had a high risk of dying during childbirth? Is the baby's "right to live" more important than the mother's "right to live"?

I totally agree with you. Just because one acknowledges the unborn to be a living thing, doesn't mean one cannot be pro-choice/pro-abortion. It just means they're not ignorant about pregnant women feeling their unborn babies kicking and moving, and little reactions to belly pokes and rubs. Unborn babies are forming a bond with their mother while in the womb. But that is only seems to be acceptable to acknowledge if the pregnancy is wanted. I'm very much pro-choice, and never judge a woman for choosing how she handles pregnancy. Abortions are still taxing on the women's health and psychologically can be traumatic. Women experience nightmares, flashbacks, depression, sense of emptiness and grief. That is considered normal and shouldn't be a deterrent. Just something to be considered. Some women require counselling afterward the procedure. I couldn't go through with it when I found out I was pregnant. That was my choice. Pregnancy is a scary, dangerous situation, too.

You and the Power puff scientist know nothing about pregnancy. Early abortion removes an embryo not a fetus or a baby. A mother can't possibly feel an embryo kick. An embryo doesn't respond to to belly pokes and rubs, and there no is no 'bond' formed before brain development. Learn about the trimesters and how embryos develop into fetuses and then to actual functioning human babies instead of blathering on with your half-formed beliefs garnered from Facebook research.

I assure you that I felt my babe move well within the limited abortion time, which is 24 weeks in my country. Due to possible birth defects i had to decide whether or not to let baby grow and be born at 15 weeks pregnant. I had to wait 3 weeks for the genetic test results. 3 horrifying weeks in which baby kept growing and i felt him. He became a bit stronger every day. In the end the birth defect was (thankfully) not bad enough for me to end the pregnancy, but if i had to, i would. It would be an act of love, to let baby go. And again, i felt him. Not knowing if I would ever see him alive. It was agonising. If i wanted to end the pregnancy, baby would probably be forced to be born way to early. Most babies die in the womb during this process. In 13 weeks a embryo or fetus is a fully formed baby, just very small. So yeah. There's that.

Excuse you? I was pregnant once. I have experience. I have taken prenatal classes and family class in school. I wasn't talking about the embryo stage. Btw, I felt my baby moving starting at 4 months, and confirmed during an ultrasound, btw. Their brain is developing and they do hear their mother's voice, heartbeat and other sounds inside and outside the womb. When expectant mothers are rubbing their bellies their babies do feel that affection. I'm talking later in the pregnancy. This is why infants are soothed by rhythmic beats and respond to their mother's voice. It's familiar. They are also born with natural, unlearned instincts. They never ate with their mouths but they automatically know that's what they use to eat. If their brains didn't develop at all in the womb, they would be lacking those instincts and familiar sounds. Abortions do not just happen in the embryo stage, and I wasn't even referring to the embryo stage. Yeesh.

since abortion can happen up to 3 months, at that point its called a fetus isn't it? and there are also abortions happening after that or not?

In Canada, there is no cut off time for legal abortions. You can have one at 23 weeks. It just adds to complications and may require a hospital stay. I knew a girl in HS who looked very pregnant. I would say 6 months, at least. She had an abortion, she told me in confidence (this was back in the very early 00s). Her reasoning is that she changed her mind and couldn't go through with it. I think she was having a lot of health issues.

Most abortion occurs before the 4th month when you start to feel movement.

88% so most yes, not sure how movement is related to what i said but thanks for your 2 cents i guess

Back to school for you.

Ignorance is bliss, isn't it? If you get your opinions from Facebook, your poorly educated friends, and some woo-woo book, you don't have to put anymore thought into what you say.

im just talking about biology here, never mentioned anything about morals. but maybe you can tell me yoir opinion then? when does a fertilized egg/blastocyst/embryo/fetus/baby become a living thing? because i actually use the definitions from biology so im curious what definitions you use to attack me as ignorant

According to your Bible it's at first breath. A cancerous tumor is a living thing. It's host still has the right to get rid of it.

Im not even religious... So sad you can only think in two camps. I AM PRO ABORTION! AND YES I AM PRO CANCER REMOVEMENT. maybe if i type larger you can actually read what I am writing instead of making immediate assumptions. BIOLOGY!
