I think I am very unusual in the sense that I believe abortions should be tax-paid, free to everyone, and pregnancy tests should also be free.... BUT I also think abortion should be very limited, to something around the first **10 weeks** at most.
I've had both right and left leaning folks loose their shit over that. Always entertaining
@freemo
By “loose[sic] their shit” I take you mean “disagree with me”. Not too surprising, for a Mad Libs style position such as yours.
What are the chances that you will be in the position of having to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term?
If zero, what gives you the moral authority to impose limits on others, that would not affect yourself?
Finally, how did you arrive at a figure of 10 weeks, given that many fetal abnormalities can’t be detected until well after that point?
> By “loose[sic] their shit” I take you mean “disagree with me”. Not too surprising, for a Mad Libs style position such as yours.
Nope I meant exactly what I said. Not surprising your struggling to understand what was said when your starting with an insult in your very first sentence I guess.
> What are the chances that you will be in the position of having to carry an unwanted pregnancy to term?
Are you seriously asking a perfect stranger what genitals they have? Disgusting, and none of your business
> If zero, what gives you the moral authority to impose limits on others, that would not affect yourself?
Even if it were 0 uit has effected me greatly. I was once a fetus and thus once at the whim of abortion laws. As someone (like everyone) who was once at risk of being effected by these laws I, and everyone, has a right to an opinion.

When you decided to make woman's "genitals" your business, you've made 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨 a valid topic of discussion. Or, are you claiming some special right to privacy that you would deny others?
Since your chances of becoming pregnant would appear to be zero, absent the availability of a time machine, abortion laws have no direct impact on you. Only woman are, which is why I think 𝘺𝘰𝘶 shouldn't have a say in them.

So if someone fights for the right for transgendered people to use the woman's bathrooms by your logic I have the right to demand what such a persons genitals is? It is therefore appropriate for me to demand transgendered in woman's bathrooms to tell me what their genitals look like"
Get out of here with that sexist bullshit.

Irrelevant, my chance of committing murder is 0 yet i still have a right to talk about what the laws should be around a murderer.
You are going to sprain something with those mental gymnastics...
> Unless someone is flashing their genitals in public, their genitals are of nobody else's concern.
Great then we agree, I am not flashing my genitals in public therefore its none of your business, leave me alone you perv.
> The problem is that you 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 claiming the right to tell others what they can do with their own bodies, based on their genitals, which opens yours as a topic of discussion.
Right, just like someone who is claiming what transpeople can or cant do with their body by entering a bathroom. Therefore they have to announce their genitals like yo demand of me right? Yea you can get out of here with that sexist bs.
@kj6dbe Oh and dont forget next time your pulling this sexist nonsense you bother to demand anyone with an opinion on abortion describe their genitals AND tell you if they are post-menopause or otherwise sterile... Remind them they are required to tell you so you can verify if they are permitted their opinon, since once they cant bear children, according to you, they are no longer allowed an opinion on abortion.

@freemo
Wow. What a lot of verbiage to attempt to distract from the fact that 𝐲𝐨𝐮 are the one proposing imposing an arbitrary constraint on woman, and that I pointed out those constraints that would not apply to yourself.
But, I'm the one who is supposed be "Sexist"? Yeah, right. You may be a software developer, but making logical arguments doesn't seem to be your strong point.
@freemo
Wow, what a leap in logic.
Unless someone is flashing their genitals in public, their genitals are of nobody else's concern.
The problem is that you 𝐚𝐥𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐚𝐫𝐞 claiming the right to tell others what they can do with their own bodies, based on their genitals, which opens yours as a topic of discussion.
Of course it's fascinating that in a discussion on abortion, you immediately pivot to comparing it with committing murder.
