@Gert The whole space ia aggreasively valued. Great for me as an owner in the space ;)
Of course fetuses have rights. It is and has been for a long time illegal to murder a fetus 8 months into pregnancy. They jave had and clearly do have rights, the debatable part is how many rights thry have.
That said i never once argued for thrm having rights. I argued adults have the right to have an opinion on what the rules are on if someone should have been allowed to prevent my life or not.
From a scientific perspective life undoubtly starta before birth. That aaid bacteria is also life... the definition of where life starts as much as it matters for killing a bacteria. The fact is someone had the oppertunity at some point in the past to prevent my current life from existing, so i should have a say in matters where we discuss how much right i have to my life. We are discussing if someone haf a right to prevent my life, so clearly i should have a say in that.
To be clear the argument isnt against or for abortion, while i agree it can be murder (for example a day before birth) it also can save life and depends for sure.
That argument here is men are effected strongly as it decides if we can be killed early on. So it is very much an issue for everyone to discuss.
Viagra isnt a drug that effects is a woman will live tonsee adulthood... abortion is an act which does kill men and prevent them from reaching adulthood. It very much is a male issue.
Except that abortion isnt a woman only issue
It is an issue that effects the woman and the feyus. So bases on your logic anyone who has been or is a woman or fetus has a right to an opinion, which is everyone.
Arguing men shouldnt have a right to an opinion on abortion because they can only be the victim of abortion and never the executor is like arguing women shouldnt have an opinion on rape because they are typically the victim and not the executor.
We all started our lives as fetuses and would have been effected by abortion laws, and as such we all should have a right to an opinion on the matter.
The numbers are currently looking like a win for Trump, but its tight enough Harris could win...
No matter who wins we are doomed, but ill say this, at least Harris has the good sense to be ashamed enough about her hate to lie about it and hide it... Trump seems almost proud of it.
@TheOldGuy No way! :) lol
Sadly at this point I really just expect this sort of deplorable behavior from our politicians.
The SESTA act was an act she eagerly pushed through, supported, and voted for. This act denies transwomen access to their hormones when in jail. She has never made an attempt to apologize or retract this act that passed ubder her leadership.
As long as I get to be that person I might be willing to consider it.
Apparently.not a single person is voting for Harris, lol
@wislubb Thank you
@freemo congrats man! I wish you both the best!
@freemo I voted with my feet
— in 2017, when Trump was elected the first time.

Section "The Kakapo" of https://nokyotsu.github.io/parrots/ of recording "Parots, the Universe and everything". Highly recommended.
@freemo i love those.
I looked up another one recently:
"Some people would tell you that the mating call of the male Kakapo actively repels the female Kakapo, (laughter) which is the sort of behaviour you would otherwise only find really in discotheques. The people who’ve heard the mating call of the male Kakapo will tell you, you can hardly even hear it, it’s like a sort of … I’ll tell you what they do. This animal every—for about a hundred nights of the year—it goes through its mating ritual."
