There are so many things wrong in this simple declaration I don’t know where to begin…

  1. This demeans the role of fathers. As fathers, men have a very important stake in this and every father grieves when his child dies.
  2. It’s hypocritical. If only women can have a say, then why do pro-abortion groups allow men to be involved?
  3. It’s illogical. Why don’t they apply this logic to other areas? For example, why don’t they ever say that white people shouldn’t be against lynching blacks? After all, they’re not the ones being lynched. Or why don’t they say that men shouldn’t be against the rape of women? After all, it’s not the men who are being raped
Not to get off the topic, but since we’re talking about abortion, isn’t one of the chief arguments for abortion, “But what about the less than 1/10 of 1% of women who become pregnant as a result of rape? Wouldn’t forcing her to carry her rapists baby to term further victimize her?” Perhaps. But wouldn’t it victimize her much more to make her an accomplice to her rapists’ crime by harming the baby?

Remember, she didn’t have the choice not to be raped, but she does have the choice not to kill the baby. So now, in addition to the trauma she’s experienced as a result of her rape, she now has the added lifetime of guilt and moral responsibility for her actions in killing the baby.

No one is arguing that a rape victim isn’t a victim and, certainly, no one is arguing that rape is not a wicked, wicked, barbaric act. But if it’s true that she’s already been through such a traumatic event, why compound the trauma by making her an accomplice?

I guess only Northerners had the luxury of being pro-Abolition. :rolleyes:

I’d respond with something equally sublime, like “If a tree falls in the forest, would you still post meaningless quotations?”

People who put quips on webpages aren’t generally capable of a cogent argument about the topic. It is easier to just say something “clever” and leave it at that.
 
😦

My husband became active in the Pro-Life movement after held our baby, who was lost during the second-trimester of our pregnancy.

That’s hardly what I’d call a luxury…

That’s almost as dumb as saying to a woman who has no children and who is pro-life that the reason she’s pro-life is because she doesn’t have at least one child. 🤷

Other slogans of the pro-abortionists are, “If men could get pregnant, abortion would be a sacrament,” and “The prohibition of abortion discriminates against women.” Are you aware that the pro-abortionists took this line of argument to the Supreme Court and lost? It is the pro-abortion forces that have framed abortion as a “woman’s issue.” Women, as a class, are not discriminated against by the pro-life movement. I am a human being, and as a man I have the right to stand up and say “no” to the killing of my fellow human beings.

The silliness of this comment is that it has nothing whatever to do with the topic. He’s certainly right in saying that he’s not debating the issue. Arguments are either right or wrong and that doesn’t change depending on whether they are made by men or women. This is the type of comment one has to resort to when he has no defense of his position.

Men don’t have the luxury of being pro-life. Being a father to a child is a lifetime of hard work and being pro-life is hard work also. I can also say the gifts of children given to us by our Heavenly Father is the best benefit of that work.🙂

I find that offensive, I’m a woman and I’m pro-life. :mad:

👍

Those who support “abortion rights” :rolleyes: are trying to frame the debate on their terms, but their terms are bogus. They are ignoring so many basic facts:
  • A life begins at conception for all creatures that reproduce sexually, as opposed to asexually like some animals.
  • The human being reproduces sexually, and the resulting embryo has the DNA of a human. Therefore, a human life has been created.
  • The choice is not about “terminating a pregnancy” because a pregnancy by definition is the condition of having a living being within the mother. So that’s splitting semantic hairs. Call it what it is, killing the baby. (Sadly, some pro-choice people are admitting this but saying that sometimes it’s justified. :nope: What a sad and defeatist position to take.)
  • For the PETA animal rights activists, the human is a mammal, so it has rights!
  • Many of these babies are female - attention “women’s rights” advocates
  • But the males are human, so refer to previous facts in this list
  • It is a human rights issue; humans both male and female should band together to protect human life when it’s under threat.
  • Therefore, pro-choicers need to stop putting up straw-man arguments
  • And when they do, pro-life people should call 'em on it.
 
This reminds me of a guy I recently saw on Dr. Phil who was suing a woman. His reason was that she was pregnant by him and he wanted her to have an abortion. She refused, and he took her to court to not have to pay child support. His reasoning was that if the woman gets a “choice” weather to be a mother, he should have that same “choice” of becoming a father or not. The audience was absolutely appalled by the guy, but I couldn’t help but to see at least see logic in his evil intentions. He lost his court case, and his “luxury” of being pro-choice.

Very good point, hanna - the law does not allow us (men) to “abort” our parental rights; that right is only reserved for women.

I suppose you could say that all the people who have been born have the luxury of being pro-choice.

Well, he DID have a ‘choice’ to have sex with the mother, and hence create the child in the first place. Like someone who walks around with a loaded gun with the safety off trying to sue the person who bumped into him and made it fire 🤷
