    Again, how do you think rape kits work? Do you think it's like a pregnancy test? Just pee on the little test and if it's a + it's rape?

    Most abortion for "convenience" are chemical abortions which is just an induced miscarriage. There is only "sucking" if the abortion doesn't take.

    The abortion you are describing happens later in pregnancy often when the fetus has been determined non-viable or the mother's life is in danger.

    Also, you think raising a child is only 18 years of your life? Sorry, it's until one of you die.

    Listen if it were up to me we should spend money on development of artificial wombs, but I'm sure libs would somehow still be against that

    Tell us how rape kits work, exactly.

    You talk about how pro-choice people don't "educate" themselves on pro-birth, I mean, pro-life but you saying stupid crap like that means you've never talked to a woman who has had to get an abortion. Such disgusting hypocrisy.

    You mean like allowing women to obtain abortions on demand because having bodily autonomy as an exception to the right to life is an ethical necessity?

    And you'd be wrong, as usual.

    "Libs" are not pro-choice because they hate children or motherhood.

    What makes you say that. Of a woman make such a decision then obviously she didn't feel that special connection due to liberal poisoning

    I don't think he knows that a rape kit is just a means to collect potential evidence.

    And that there's a massive backlog of rape kits to the point many of them don't actually get processed at all.

    To repeat an earlier point; any principle for which there is an exception is not actually a principle held by those supporting that exception. It's a lie they use to avoid admitting their real motives.

    Every time. Any exceptions disprove the principle. You can't say "killing is wrong" and then say "oh, except in self defense"; you've just admitted "killing is sometimes okay", meaning you can't claim it's always wrong.

    I hope I would be. But I bet some would just not even want to go through the process of removing the fetus because of their precious autonomy.

    I know several women who have had abortions.
    I have heard many women talk about their abortions.

    Literally you describe none of them. The only women who do fit the mold are ones who are trying to get a rise out of conservatives or are doing dark humor.

    Refusing a medical procedure is entirely within their rights, and moreover that choice does not indicate opposition to artificial wombs.

    I dunno about you, but "murder" doesn't really have exceptions for me. And given that you qualify this as murder, I'm not sure why it should deserve one if your position were intellectually consistent.

    Bullshit. That bond is the strongest relationship on this planet. If you just can't handle the financial responsibility then put it up for adoption. Other wise the choice is out of pure selfishness and a disconnect from real femininity.

    So you wouldn't blow the brains out of someone entering your home to harm you and your loved ones?

    Not to mention that the use of "murder" itself is a loaded term since by definition a murder is unlawful, ergo legal abortion cannot be murder.

    A disproving of the principle? Yes. Any and all "exceptions" to any base principle prove, conclusively, that this principle is flawed and must be discarded. It's been disproven by the existence of that exception.

    That's how principles work. The exception is a demonstration that the principle does not hold true. Therefore, it's false/incomplete and must be discarded.

    Trying to hold the principle and the exception at the same time is willful cognitive dissonance, nothing more.
