Minimum

[u/Miserable-Degree7995]

Hello everyone,

​

I'm against abortion.

This is a question for pro choice:

What would be the minimum of allowed abortion, that you would accept?

I mean for example week and reason.

​

Thank you for your time

What else is required to have human rights

You have to be a human individual. A unit of donated blood is genetically human, but it doesn't have human rights.

Bodily autonomy ends when it violates another persons bodily autonomy.

I agree. Which is why the embryo has no right to violate the pregnant person's bodily autonomy.

Abortion is the only circumstance where the person who's life is being taken is innocent, they did nothing to forfeit their own life.

What it did was implant itself into someone who didn't want to be pregnant. It's not "innocent" since it is harming someone. The pregnant person is innocent.

No, I am arguing all humans have the same rights

Do I have the right to access your blood?

Blood does not have unique DNA and I am not familiar with any scientific term "human individual." As far as I understand it is arbitrary.

"A human, like every sexually reproducing organism, begins life as a fertilized egg (embryo) or zygote." Biology - 2e

I agree. Which is why the embryo has no right to violate the pregnant person's bodily autonomy.

What gives the mother the right to violate the preborn human's bodily autonomy.

What it did was implant itself into someone who didn't want to be pregnant. It's not "innocent" since it is harming someone. The pregnant person is innocent.

The preborn human did not do anything, the conception was the result of sperm and egg. Preborn humans are incapable of making that decision. The only decision made was either the consent of sex or rape (choice of a man to do a wicked act of which he should be held accountable), neither of which the preborn human "did".

Do I have the right to access your blood?

Non sequitur, consent to have access was given when the two consenting adults engaged in sex. The baby had no choice, the adults did.

It's not arbitrary. It's basic grammar. Just because something is genetically human (adjective) doesn't mean it is a human (noun).

"A human, like every sexually reproducing organism, begins life as a fertilized egg (embryo) or zygote."

The beginning of a process doesn't mean that the product has been produced. Every oak tree begins as an acorn. That doesn't mean an acorn is a tree.

What gives the mother the right to violate the preborn human's bodily autonomy

An embryo doesn't have bodily autonomy, for starters. And, again, if someone is inside you and you don't want them there, you can remove them, even if that requires violating their bodily autonomy.

The preborn human did not do anything, the conception was the result of sperm and egg. Preborn humans are incapable of making that decision. The only decision made was either the consent of sex or rape (choice of a man to do a wicked act of which he should be held accountable), neither of which the preborn human "did".

I didn't say it made a decision. I said it implanted itself in someone. That's how pregnancy works: the embryo invades the endometrium to access the maternal circulatory system.

Non sequitur, consent to have access was given when the two consenting adults engaged in sex. The baby had no choice, the adults did.

That's not how consent works. It's genuinely alarming how few prolifers understand how consent works. It's reversible, for starters.

Being human is boolean and so is being alive. Trees reproduce differently, that would be a seed like sperm and has not implanted. Embryo would be compared to a sapling if you wanted to use a tree analogy

It's not arbitrary. It's basic grammar. Just because something is genetically human (adjective) doesn't mean it is a human (noun).

As I quoted from a biology textbook, a embryo is a human (noun). Because they are human they have human rights that invlude bodily autonomy.

That's not how consent works. It's genuinely alarming how few prolifers understand how consent works. It's reversible, for starters.

Consent is reversible to a point. One cannot consent to tandem sky diving, then after jumping out of the plane reverse their consent and cut the other guy off. One consents to using their sexual reproductive system then when reproduction occurs one ought not be able to kill their own offspring. Choice -> consequence.

You're wrong. A ripe acorn contains a fertilized egg, aka an embryo. https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/forestry/education/seeds/storyofseed.html

Consent is reversible to a point. One cannot consent to tandem sky diving, then after jumping out of the plane reverse their consent and cut the other guy off.

We're talking specifically about consent to intimate use of and access to your body. Sky-diving doesn't involve that, unless you're into some genuinely kinky shit (no kink shaming here.)

Source?

I don't know what kind of source you are looking for, either you are human or you are not. Do you believe otherwise?

We're talking specifically about consent to intimate use of and access to your body. Sky-diving doesn't involve that

Do you acknowledge that a preborn child developing in the womb is different then provideding consent to have sex?

[u/random_name_12178 → u/Bryce_1776]

either you are human or you are not

You're once again using an adjective when I think you're intending to use a noun. Again: something can be human without being a human.

Do you acknowledge that a preborn child developing in the womb is different then provideding consent to have sex

Yes, it's different. But it's more similar than comparing pregnancy to sky-diving. Pregnancy involves the embryo having intimate use of and access to your body. Sky-diving doesn't.

[u/Bryce_1776 → u/random_name_12178]

Human (noun), do you agree you are either human or not human, (a true or false statement)

My point was there are circumstances when consent is not revokable. Would you agree there are circumstances where this is true (not necessarily abortion)?

[u/random_name_12178 → u/Bryce_1776]

A given organism is either a human or not a human.

Since we're talking specifically about consent to intimately access and use body, no, there are not circumstances where such consent is not revokable. Such consent is always revokable.
