J.D. Vance, the junior U.S. senator from Ohio, zeroed in on this in a social media post on Wednesday: “We’ve spent so much time winning a legal argument on abortion that we’ve fallen behind on the moral argument,” he wrote.

Vance is right.

    Because there is no such argument. Nobody has the right to anybody else’s body.

      Exactly.

      Which is why murdering babies is wrong.

        So you agree we need to ban guns, implement universal healthcare, feed kids in school and provide parents with time off with wages to protect their newborns? Or do babies stop mattering once they come out of the vagina?

        Just by definition, you are mislead. Fetuses are not babies. An abortion happens to a fetus, typically at around 8 weeks. 9 out of 10 abortions happen in the first 12 weeks, which is nothing close to a baby.

        Second, because nobody has the right to anybody else’s body, the fetus can’t use the woman’s organs. We don’t use dead body organs without permission. At the bare fucking minimum women should have the same right as a dead body, which means abortion is morally permissible. If they don’t want a tenant, then there’s an eviction so to speak.

              Im not all knowing, and yes, Im self aware enough that I know I listen more readily when it agrees with my biases, same as everyone else.

              Before you ask, yes, I got the covid vaccine, two needles in the shoulder.

        Please take this BS to another lemmy instance. Its going to be a lot of people viewing by all who don’t agree with this a-scientific nonsense and will just downvote it.

        Oh fuck off, once that “baby” you’re so worried about is born and in the world you give zero fucks about it.
