If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament.

The emphasis must be not on the right to abortion but on the right to privacy and reproductive control.
—Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Decades ago, women suffered through horrifying back-alley abortions. Or, they used dangerous methods when they had no other recourse. So when the Republican Party launched an all-out assault on women’s health, pushing bills to limit access to vital services, we had to ask: Why is the GOP trying to send women back…to the back alley?
—Lisa Edelstein
Listen to the pregnant woman. Value her. She values the life growing inside her. Listen to the pregnant woman, and you cannot help but defend her right to abortion.
—Ayelet Waldman
The issue is not abortion. The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do.
—Howard Dean
What is this ban on abortion—it is a survival of the veiled face, of the barred window and the locked door, burning, branding, mutilation, stoning, of all the grip of ownership and superstition come down on woman, thousands of years ago.
—Stella Brown
I cannot understand anti-abortion arguments that center on the sanctity of life. As a species we’ve fairly comprehensively demonstrated that we don’t believe in the sanctity of life. The shrugging acceptance of war, famine, epidemic, pain and life-long poverty shows us that, whatever we tell ourselves, we’ve made only the most feeble of efforts to really treat human life as sacred.
—Caitlin Moran
If the anti-abortion movement took a tenth of the energy they put into noisy theatrics and devoted it to improving the lives of children who have been born into lives of poverty, violence, and neglect, they could make a world shine.
—Michael Jay Tucker
It is always the moralists who do the most harm. Abortion is the logical outcome of civilization, only the jungle gives birth and moulders away as nature decrees. Man plans.

No woman can call herself free who does not control her own body.

What Girls & Guys Said
8 36I like the idea that a woman gets to decide her life is more valuable. Having a bunch of old dudes in washington decide what a woman should do with her body is just stupid.
It's not her body it's the baby's body. Choosing to take all the choices away from another human being because you made a poor choice in the past is not "pro-choice".
@Grosayfious255 A body that is completely reliant on another body for it's nutrients and growth. That can't survive outside it for a number of months. Ownership of body involves being a individual, void of such need. If you take fetus away from the womb too soon it will die. Therefore, given the situation, the mother has completely control over the body of the fetus and the fetus is not an 'individual' I don't care what sort of emotional, religious or whatever mumbo jumbo you want to recite. Those are the fact. When it gets to the point that it can survive outside the womb then you have a point. However the vast majority of abortions (over 90%) happen within the first trimester. And just assuming it was a 'poor choice' is asinine. Sure sometimes it is, but sometimes it isn't. Sometimes it's done for medical reasons.
*its
*a fetus. Complete control
*facts I typed way too fast sorry. If there are other mistakes then just assume I'm too lazy to fix them.
@Grosayfious255 it's a fetus, with no brain activity and it's her fetus. Not yours. Does it bother you for a woman you've never met to abort a fetus you will never meet? No, but you conservatives like to be the moral justice warriors telling people how to live.
@John_Doesnt Good for you. We need more men like you in this world.
Why can't Trump start executing feminist appeasers, this is one of the worst examples of that.
@timesplittersxsxd Did you just suggest all feminists including myself should be executed?
@StrawberryKitty I said feminist appeasers but that is not a bad idea you have tabled there.
@timesplittersxsxd so murdering living people is okay with you, but a fetus with no brain activity is not?
@timesplittersxsxd I never said it was okay to murder living people.
@Nyx_85 "Ownership of body involves being a individual" Are you saying that a person who cannot survive on it's own is not an individual? Also, you've made a top of presuppositions, what is the source for your "facts"? Saying that somebody isn't a human or deserves to die simply because they are dependent on someone is preposterous. You've also admitted that the baby is a separate person by saying that until he/she can live on their own you have the right to kill them. And that is wrong, you cannot simply decide that a person has lower value than you do and just kill it. That's evil.
@John_Doesnt, "Its a fetus with no brain activity". that's a lie, a babies brain begins developing during the first few weeks after conception. So you're killing a person with a live brain. Of course I care about people being killed by the thousands. You have to be a lunatic not to.
@Grosayfious255 Lol nothing you said made any sense and you really need to work on your reading comprehension. "Are you saying that a person who cannot survive on it's own is not an individual?" Haha no I never said that. But a fetus that cannot survive outside of the womb is reliant entirely on the mother to survive. Therefore it is essentially a part of her. I never stated whether or not I really agreed with abortion. I was simply pointing out the fact that given that since a fetus, up to a certain stage, cannot survive outside the womb, it is not an individual with the same exact body rights as the rest of us. When you use words like "evil" your degree of aptitude because VERY clear. No doubt you will come back with a whole load of hogwash.
@Grosayfious255 "a babies brain begins developing during the first few weeks after conception" Roughly 5 weeks. And that is during the embryonic stage. And note the word "BEGINS". The development of the brain is a lengthy process (that continues to your mid 20's to early 30's). A new forming embryo is not conscious. A fetus is not a person and an embryo certainly isn't. It may be a developing human but it's not a person. Personhood is a man-made term meaning "the quality or condition of being an individual person." An embryo cannot be an individual because it cannot survive outside the womb. Therefore it is not a 'person'.
@Grosayfious255 yes and abortion is illegal after that time period. It's legal before the third trimester when there is no brain activity. Or when the mother's life is at risk. Who are you to decide that the woman's life is less valuable than the life of a fetus? It's not your place and you don't have a vagina, so you're not the one who's gonna have to painfully push that thing out.
@Nyx_85 Wrong. You set your conditions for what a person is just to have a right to kill it. That's the same tactic every dictator used to annihilate a specific group of people. Just because your brain isn't developed till you're 30 doesn't mean people have a right to kill you. A baby is a human being because it is conceived by a human. And you don't get to kill it just because you feel like it.
@John_Doesnt your argument is that anyone without a vagina cannot stand up for a life of another human being. I reject your ridiculous premise and can therefore fight abortion.
@Grosayfious255 Well since you said 'wrong' you must be right lol... Personhood is a man-man legal term. End of story. Call it a human if you want. But via the law it's not a 'person'. I never said it was an excuse to kill anyone. You need to learn how to read. No John wasn't saying someone without a vagina can't stand up for the life of a human being. He was saying that the choices of some random woman that you don't know and will never know has nothing to do with you. Women have been terminating their pregnancies for thousands of years (there was a time when it was often safer than carrying out a pregnancy). It isn't going to stop any time soon. Before the laws were changed women would die from back alley abortions, home abortions, dangerous herbs, etc. There are other reasons, i. e medical reasons that a woman might have to ASIDE from "Oh I just don't want to..." after she had unprotected sex. But regardless of what you or anything thinks about it, it's not your decision.
@Grosayfious255 There is probably a strong biological urge to NOT have children in women of poor health and bad genes. In order to not pass on said genes.
@Grosayfious255 Do you believe that an egg becomes a person/human being once it is fertilized by sperm?
Also should be noted that banning abortion doesn't decrease it's rate. www.nytimes.com/2007/10/12/world/12abortion.html
In fact banning it just increases the likelihood of women dying from unsafe abortions. What decreases abortions (not stop completely. Decrease) is education and access to safe and effective affordable birth control. Because it is most often lower income individuals who have unexpected pregnancies. Of course it's very often that the pro-lifers are the conservative type that are against their tax dollars going towards subsidized anything...
@Nyx_85 Im all for increasing the likelihood
Subsidized birth control isn't paid for by taxpayers anyway FYI. They just like to think that. "Oh I don't want to help prevent unwanted pregnancies even though the cost of programs to care for low income families is SUBSTANTIALLY higher... but I also don't want those women to have abortions..." So wtf is it then?
@Grosayfious255 my argument is that people shouldn't be allowed to force their opinion of morality onto other people. You conservatives are funny for calling liberals social justice warriors and fascists, but then you turn around and try to force your morals onto other women.
@Grosayfious255 " Do you believe that an egg becomes a person/human being once it is fertilized by sperm?"
I'll just answer it for you since I'm not going to talk to you anymore. If you believe this then you would be surprised to find out that the body naturally rejects the majority of FERTILIZED eggs. The majority of them are expelled from the body and don't make it to the womb.

Just sit on that for a moment...
@Nyx_85 Do you expect me to sit and read all your comments and watch all your nonsense? I have better things to do you know? The bottom line is that you don't value human life. You can try to argue for woman's health, for the personhood of the baby w/e. But if people valued the lives of other humans as much as they value the lives of dogs there would be no abortion.
@Grosayfious255 What if pregnancy could severely cripple a woman for life? What if it was a matter of life or death for a woman. You would rather she risk her own life? What if the fetus wasn't even going to make it to full term anyway? Why is the life of an embryo or fetus more important than a full grown human with thoughts, feelings, ambition, family, and a whole life? A embryo / fetus has none of that. Why should a woman be forced to possibly end her life to carry out a pregnancy that may not even survive because some people don't like the idea of abortion? You can't accuse me of not 'valuing life' when you are obviously a hypocrite.
@Grosayfious255 You can't make people change their stance by saying things like "You don't value life" and "That's evil". It's not going to work. If you are pro life you must be antiwar then. And pro gun control. And anti death penalty. Oh and pro socialized healthcare... Pro immigration... Pro affordable housing, livable wage, free education. You know... Liberal ideals.
@Grosayfious255 "watch all your nonsense?" HOW DARE YOU BILL NYE IS AWESOME 😤 "I have better things to do you know?" No I don't. I don't know what you do... Obviously. This is pointless. Like it was mentioned before banning abortion doesn't decrease its rate and women have been terminating their pregnancies for thousands of years. It is never going to stop (and there are only so many sustainable resources on our planet. Not to mention we share it with other species. Why are human lives more important than the health of the world, it's ecosystem and other inhabitants? If we keep consuming at this rate human won't be around much longer and then this abortion debate will be nonexistent). Call it whatever you want. Say it's "immoral" and "not valuing life"... Whatever. This discussion is pointless anyway. Not just because neither of us is going to change our minds but because you have horrible reading comprehension. I just can't... Peace.
@Grosayfious255 But seriously don't read what I wrote and come back and repeat yourself. I don't value life yadda yadda... *Yawn.* Is that all? Ok great. Have a good one!
@Nyx_85 "Do you believe that an egg becomes a person/human being once it is fertilized by sperm?" When the egg receives the rest of the chromosomes, the entire biological person hood is defined. The gender is already set, the nose shape that a person will have , the eye color, hair color etc. So yes when you have all the information you need to build an entirely different person and all it is is a matter of time, another person has been created. It is at this point that it become wrong to kill an innocent human being.
@Grosayfious255 you pretend to care so much for a small cell, but you couldn't give a crap about an actual human being. You don't actually care you just want to force your beliefs on people. It's pathetic that you think you're helping a life, but in reality you're just a fascist.
"you pretend to care so much for a small cell... in reality you're just a fascist." An ad hominem is used when people can't defend their view point so they resort to attack the person. True in your case John_Doesnt You want to slaughter innocent human beings but can't find a reason to support your view so you call people names. It's okay though I argued the same in elementary school.
@Grosayfious255 "innocent human beings" yeah until it comes out of the vagina than you couldn't care less. What about the life of the woman? Is that not an innocent life?
It's still pathetic that you pretend to care about 1 non-life, but don't care about an actual life.

@Grosayfious255
Ugh ignore the last one. Accidentally pressed the track pad on my laptop.
Ok let me REPEAT myself. The MAJORITY of FERTILIZED eggs are EXPELLED from the body. The body naturally aborts. The fertilized egg still needs to pass a series of tests and make it to the womb in order to implant. Implantation typically occurs 5-8 days after fertilization.
"Two-thirds of all human embryos fail to develop successfully."
www.sciencedaily.com/.../101003205930.htm
Thus your argument is null and void. The only argument you have is a moral one (morals being a man-made concept. Do you think early humans thought the same way? No they killed or abandoned their offspring when they couldn't care for them). Be against abortion all you want. That is your CHOICE. However be realistic about why you are against it.
This argument is dead in the water. You aren't going to change our minds and we aren't going to change yours. I think you should call it a day.
@Grosayfious255 But I like how you ignored most of what I said (like a woman's life being at risk or not over-consuming the earth's resources and endangering other species) and picked ONE thing you could 'attempt' to argue against. Good job! 👍 Gold star! 🌟
"It's still pathetic that you pretend to care about 1 non-life," There is no point talking about a small percentage of cases when you don't care about what happens most of the time. In most cases babies are killed simply because the mother is selfish. I would be happy to address the issue of mothers health but it doesn't matter to you, you want to push your beliefs and you use minority cases to allow careless slaughter. Also, I'm not put on earth to care about raising someone else's offspring just because they were horny idiots who don't control their urges; and who says that I have to care? It's not wrong to use your time worrying about people placed in your own life instead of trying to take care of everyone because some idiot on GaG will think wrongly of you; And yet still, this doesn't mean that you can aimlessly kill other humans.

Exactly
Funny how women are outraged at the idea they shouldn't kill their unborn offspring, but they have no problem imprisoning men for refusing to pay for their offspring for 18 years. What's that about keeping laws off bodies?
Other thing is... if your offspring has such little value and can legally be killed, dear women... why should anyone feel upset if something terrible happens to you? If your offspring has no value, why should society think your life has any value?
Well said.
This is posted by a girl, I bet, belongs to the same sort of brain polluted girls who preach about "islamophobia" and how Islam empowers them and how islam is a feminist religion. The most pro-life ideology, where men will kill their daughters if they don't marry and give birth to children.
How is islam and abortion the same?
It is because now feminists openly ally themselves with islam even though it is THE most sexist ideology that forbids abortion in all cases. Not so long ago we had womens marches organized by Sharia Law advocates in several western countries, one of them organized by a convicted terrorist who murdered even children. Of course feminists do not care about all this simply because they hate anything western. "Islam is a sexist ideology? I don't fucking care. I just want to destroy the traditional western family." the suicidal mind of a feminist.
May God forgive these pro-abortion people they know not what they say or do.
Right. Took 2 people to get you preg but suddenly its "your body". If its your body dont come crying for alimony if the father didn't want the child in the first place. You should have thought of that back when you were cumming like crazy riding the D. No excuses. People like this dont deserve to have a child.
Forced child support should be illegal, for the same reason that abortion should be legal.
Wake me up when the battalion of angry pro-lifers arrive.
Pro murder.
This one is my favorite:
"In view of the large families of the Slav native population, it could only suit us if girls and women there had as many abortions as possible. We are not interested in seeing the non-German population multiply…We must use every means to instill in the population the idea that it is harmful to have several children, the expenses that they cause and the dangerous effect on woman's health… It will be necessary to open special institutions for abortions and doctors must be able to help out there in case there is any question of this being a breach of their professional ethics."--Adolf Hitler, 1942
SEIG HEIL!
those were all retarded sayings made by retarded people.
I would never have an abortion.
I bet it's mostly the girls who sloot around that make up the largest percentage of abortions. Just keep your legs closed.
Where is the amazement? All I see is feminist claptrap. I don't see what's so amazing in these "pro-choice" quotes...
Keep the church out of people's lives

There should have been a can't at the end of you
I believe abortion to be morally wrong (and an unnecessary in place of contraception) but should be legal to stop immoral women from going bado to coat hanger days. Women should be responsible for their reproductive rights not men or the government that's why they should have to pay for their own contraception and abortions.
You do know it takes a man to get a woman pregnant, right?
@ShaeNielson yes often women will "stealth" a man as no man would agree to have sex with a woman who isn't on contraception without wearing a condom. It's really a form of rape.
Pro-life crowd isn't know for being the smartest group around. If only we could figure out how woman get pregnant and practice some self control or responsibility.
the pro life crowd is smarter than the murderous pro choice
Obviously this was in argument to the pro life take I've just seen, the one that Lisa Edelstein said, serves their right, and Ayelet Wardman what rubbish, if women valued the babies life or had any morals whatsoever she would not abort.
I wrote both Takes.
Great take :)
I have read some good stuff here. Definitely worth bookmarking for revisiting. I wonder how much effort you put to create such an excellent informative website.
That means women are happy with killing their child.
Not true, a lot of women feel guilty about aborting a fetus.
@StrawberryKitty If they felt that guilty they wouldn't abort, that is just a load of feminist crap to make people feel sorry for women who murder their babies,
@StrawberryKitty feminists have done a good job on you.
@timesplittersxsxd First off, a fetus is not a baby. Secondly, I think you should realize how unfair and offensive you're being to women.
@timesplittersxsxd Also, I am proud to call myself an advocate for women's rights.
@StrawberryKitty feminists are unfair and offensive.
@timesplittersxsxd Would you care to explain?
@StrawberryKitty Nothing could be more offensive then supporting abortion, and they are unfair to men by advocating for women to be given special treatment over men, more rights, zero responsibility and.. oh yeah, men are to blame for everything.
@timesplittersxsxd Oh really, so special treatment is considered having control over your own body. What extra rights are women given? Also, could you please direct me to where I said that men are to blame for everything?
@StrawberryKitty A fetus will be a child if you don't kill it.
@StrawberryKitty Women's rights mean freedom of being sluts, wearing like whores, doing porn, insulting men and killing their child even without saying to their husband.
Women are fucking and getting pregnant. What's result? Killing a child because of lust.
Brilliant comeback by the OP
