    Because everything under the sun gets thrown at you from rape and organ harvesting so subjects go a bit all over the show son. And having an opinion on having a kid or not is slut shaming apparently.

    I'm curious why you seem to think this isn't a function of poverty but is instead somehow the result of a lack of 1950s gender roles.

    Pro-life people are appreciative of all the free help, particularly the obvious scorn directed at anyone who would mourn a miscarriage or hold a funeral. Just a clump of cells, same rights as a tumor, shout your abortion you're free? It keeps pushing more Americans to the middle: heavier restrictions favored towards the middle and end of the pregnancy, and allowances at the start from bad choices/failed contraception/not ready.
    People are absolutely free to mourn miscarriages, to think a fetus is the same as a human being, to cordially detest abortion for any and all reason they might have, as much as they might like.

    What's less understandable is why those holding these opinions should be able to force them unto others.

    "Everything under the sun" meaning "analogues relevant to a discussion of bodily autonomy".

    Once again; child support is not relevant in said discussion.

    And how is this connected to abortion? Are all people in low-income areas single parents? And isn't this a poverty problem, which shouldn't be an issue in a well developed country?

    Nice subtle dig at lesbian couples. Very rational.
    And how would a lesbian couple have an abortion?

    Because low income and unwanted children are clearly linked? Either for benefit fraud or for something to do while waiting for who wants to be a millionaire

    No, given that those were perfectly reasonable extensions of the actual arguments for banning abortion, they're highly relevant.

    You, on the other hand, are derailing.

    And having an opinion on having a kid or not is slut shaming apparently.
    Oh, but that's not what you said. You said she had sex so she should be punished by denying her basic humanity and human rights. This isn't about "slut shaming". This is so much more misogynistic and abusive than slut shaming.

    The same way any other couple would?

    Is this a trick question?

    You do know IVF and sperm donation exist, right?

    That aside, I'm referring to your weird belief that 'lacking a father figure' dooms a kid - which is an implicit condemnation of lesbian parents.

    IVF. Asking a friend to help out. Sperm donation clinics. Cheating with a dude because you're bi and not 100% lesbian.

    Like, I'm baffled as to what his point was.

    So to limit the amount of unwanted children, we should ban abortion, right?

    If there's something seriously wrong and the mother's at risk?

    They absolutely would.

    And shouldn't that be up to the pregnant person in the first place? Nobody's forcing abortion on them. We're just pointing out they should have the option, if they need it.

    There still a thousand of reasons to still want an abortion.

    Man, just abusive misanthropic takes one after the other.

    Not all couples fall apart because of infidelity. Open partnerships exist, as do polyamorous ones, too.

    So which is it.

    Are they doing IVF or is it a medical complication? You're throwing out so many whataboutisms is hard to keep up

    For someone who's "pro abortion", you've spent your ENTIRE time here gaslighting everyone by pushing pro-life rhetoric and shitting on women who might want an abortion.
