Abortion - Not as diametrically divisive as often thought?

Have philosophical discussions about politics, law, and government.
Featured Article: Definition of Freedom - What Freedom Means to Me

With which statement do you agree?

I want it to be illegal for a very poor teenager who was impregnated from being raped by an immediate family member to get an abortion even in the first week of pregnancy even if the doctors can and did detect the baby has severe genetic disorders and that the pregnancy if taken to term would have complications greatly risking the life of both the mother and would-be baby.

I want it to be legal for a wealthy woman who is 5 days past her due date (of birth) to get an abortion even though doctors are sure that the healthy baby would be delivered safely and relatively easily otherwise and even though many safe, healthy, loving families are willing to adopt the would-be newborn immediately and even pay the woman significantly for that.

I'm a little confused. You describe your opinion, then ask for criticism of it. I defend your opinion against criticism and support your living by your opinion. Yet you seem to have a problem with my comments.

As to your question, there is a significant difference between your Original opinion (that we're speaking of) and your new toddler Strawman, namely that abortion is in fact legal and consistent with ethical standards in the majority of the West, whereas infanticide is universally illégal and a violation of ethical standards.




My original post states that I claim all humans have an equal right to life. That means it should be recognized by the laws that govern society, not merely one private opinion among others. If one wants to argue that my claim is merely an opinion among equals, I ask them to defend their claim by giving a reason that the unborn do not have a right to life, but the born do.
Uummm... no. You noting: "I claim..." does not mean "it should be recognized by the laws that govern society".

Therefore you have the burden to show that your opinion is NOT merely an opinion among others (definitely more popular, perhaps more logical, than yours).


Why should I think the pro-abortion view is more popular? Whether it is or not, why would truth be dependent on popularity? At one time slavery was popular, did that make it ok?

It is my very point that contriving some criteria to justify killing some given group of innocent humans is the opposite of logical.

Humans have always had laws against the killing of innocent persons, yet you think it's my burden of proof to justify a departure from this rule? Do I have a burden to prove that any other group--say toddlers--has a right to life? Look, if you don't want to discuss it, or are unable to defend the contrary position, that's fine, but maybe someone else does.
Truth? What in your stated opinion has to do with truth?

As to popularity, currently 50% in the US believe abortion should be legal in some circumstances, 35% believe it should be legal in all circumstances and 13% believe (as you apparently do) that it should be legal in no circumstances. That's the answer to why.

As to slavery, if you're talking about the US, it was never popular, in the 15 states where it was legal in 1860 only 20% of white households owned slaves, or to put it another way, 80% of white households in slave states didn't own slaves (and that's not counting black households who were 33% of the population in slave states and who obviously didn't support the concept so it's really 13.3% in slave states).

Nice try in your, let's call it fluid use of the word "person" in your posting. First you cite the universality of laws against killing persons, then imply that under the law human fetuses are persons. However even a simpleton knows you can't square those two statements since abortion was legal throughout the US until recently, and still is for the majority of Americans.

Do you ever commit to anything, or is "philosophy" just an endless obfuscation on words?

Human law is based on opinion and popularity? And popular opinion is based on what? A vacuum, or what people think is true?

But you almost came close in the "person" claim. Rather than obfuscate on the word "person", just give some reason as to why the unborn do not deserve the right to life that the born possess. That's all you have to do. If you don't want to, that's fine, as I said.

So rather than continue this typing of words, just give some reason why an unborn person does not have a right to life, but a born person does.

Thus your question with the red phrase is nonsensical. It's not that I'm unwilling to answer your question, it's that you're asking the wrong question.

Getting back to the actual topic. Any honest review of the subject of abortion admits that the issue revolves around competing "rights" between two individuals, not solely the rights of the individual you happen to favor. Thus why continuously harping on fetuses without mention of women is intellectually dishonest, as it would be if someone were to only mention women without discussing fetuses.

Therefore reasonable people can and do come down on either side of the issue (as I cited in my review of poll data above). And that's why when you first vocalized an opinion that I happen not to share, I defended your opinion against criticism and supported you in following your opinion in your life choices.

Philosophical inquiry means quoting opinion polls? That's how you see it?

OK, you've finally given some sort of actual argument rather than just "well, everyone has their opinion". Thank You!

So the killing of an innocent, unborn person is justified because of some competing right of the mother, is that correct? Though you don't actually state what that right is. Since I have to guess: bodily autonomy?

Since I have to assume your argument for you, if a woman chooses to create a dependent human being, why is she not responsible for creating a dependent human being?

How many posts will it take to get an answer to this simple question?

Well, I am giving you credit for being conversant with the relatively simple broad issues involved with this extremely mature topic that has been posted upon here and elsewhere ad nauseum. You're welcome.

Having said that, I am a little disappointed that you persist in using the word "person" to describe fetuses, that your own argument proved was in error. Not that it matters at the core of the issue, it just smacks of bad faith in the process of discussion.

As to your question in your second to last paragraph, it is again the wrong question. Women who are pregnant do not universally "choose" to create a human, since anyone with any life experience knows every single method of birth control has a failure rate.

If you choose to engage in an act that creates a dependent human being, why are you not responsible for creating a dependent human being? You yourself concede that birth control doesn't always work. So why are you not responsible for the effects of a cause you have chosen?

Can I tell a judge that I'm not responsible for killing someone while driving drunk because I didn't intend the effect when I chose the cause? Will I be not guilty because I drank some coffee and I hoped that would derail the effect?

Could you stick to the subject and stop acting like you don't know what I'm saying? You're a moderator? Did you read the rules?

Well just about everyone (not trying to win a pissing match) considers having sex with birth control as NOT being "an act that creates a dependant human being". Obviously you're saying that you do, but I have my doubts that outside of the abortion debate that you act on that stated definition. "Hey honey, we said now's the time to start trying to have kids, just a minute let me put on this condom". Really?

So for you, philosophical analysis is quoting (supposed) opinion polls and conjecturing what you think I (someone you don't know anything about) do?

Having sex, causes babies. You might try to perform some mitigating measure, but nonetheless, having sex causes babies. No? How do you think it happens?

And anyway, if you believed your position, you should say: "abortion is a form of birth control, so what?" But since you appeal to a supposed method to break the chain of cause and effect, you implicitly acknowledge the problem you claim isn't there.

So far we've succeeded in determining that we (like everyone else) have differing priorities in this issue of competing interests. I assume no one is suprised. Thus we have different opinions. I made that clear in my very first response to your post.

I'm okay with that, if you are too, great. If you are not okay with that and feel that your opinion deserves to be held in higher regard, please feel free to enlighten us with why that should be. But you'd better come up with something better than what you've posted so far, since (and I get that it can be frustrating) your arguments thus far while reasonable are not overwhelming.

Which is another way of saying the burden of proof is on me to show that we should not kill innocent people. Why do I not have the burden to prove we should not kill toddlers or teenagers?

Your argument is "because we want to", and then you say my argument is "not overwhelming". Of course it isn't. You want to kill children in utero so that you can live as you wish. No one can ever give a rational argument sufficient to "overwhelm" someone who lives by their passions. Can you reason with someone stomping their feet, grimacing their face, and shouting "BUT I WANT TO"!?

Ok, one last time (I promise). Legally, human fetuses are not people. Adult women are people. As are toddlers and teenagers, BTW. Thus (yet again) your argument as stated evaporates in a cloud of emotion unattached to fact.

I get it, you and 13% of the US population disagrees. Fine, don't have an abortion. Have a nice day.

From my perspective, this is a subjective view as the issue of abortion continues to be a controversial and polarizing topic with strong opinions on both sides of the debate. I believe this is acceptable because life is not black and white; it is not that simple. There are gray areas everywhere, especially when considering that religious beliefs are as imaginary as political beliefs. Humans sculpted their wants and needs into organizations to support them and to help give them a defined identity and group they could put their faith in. Thus, even within the same organization, there will always be a multitude of departments, each varying in what is thought to be the right and wrong way. This makes it easy for people to get set in their ways and potentially close their minds to others' points of view, thus the controversy and never ending cycle of arguments and swaying of minds.

I fell this issue is entirely circumstantial. It's a moral dilemma and paradox, too. If the fetus is threatening the life of the mother, then it may be wise to terminate the pregnancy. Sometimes, the parents may not just be ready to have the baby, so I feel its their call to make and no one should judge them for doing what they think is best for themselves. But also, if we view it from the baby's view, it's murder in some way. Sometimes, raising the child in-vitro, giving it to a surrogate, or deciding to keep it to give it for adoption may be a nice idea where applicable.
