#1 It is stupid to force a woman to have a kid she does not want.

#2 It is stupid to force a woman to have a kid she does not want. Posted by: Bernardz

Some outcomes are unavoidable and attributable only to nature. Once they have arrived, most people don't 'want' to one day depart this old ball we call earth. 'Wants' or not, life's end, similar to life's beginning, appears to be baked into the process.

#3 #1 Its also stupid to force a man to pay for a child that is not his. I notice the federal judiciary refuses to strike down old law and precedent in face of modern DNA evidence even though continuing the practice obviously is contrary to the 13th Amendment.

Virtue signalling - regardless of costs (as long as it to other people) - is hardly the exclusive province of the Left

It is wrong to force a woman to conceive a kid she does not want, but once conceived, it is wrong to kill the kid because she does not want it. It comes down to when is the kid its own person and when is it just a tissue mass of the mothers: conception? detectable heartbeat? viability? birth? independence?

I suspect most women know how children are conceived. If you don't want one, there are some pretty obvious ways to avoid having one.

#7 Before ~~birth~~ Evacuation Day, well, a smart aleck might ask, "Kid? What kid?" And if Mom, afterward, can't even, well, isn't that why God made firehouses? Seems like it might be easier these days to legally be shed of a baby than an old can of paint or a lightbulb.

Start paying taxes too late?

#9 Since the "when does it become a person" question is nearly impossible to answer, stick with "its it human life?"

1. Biology says life.
2. DNA Says Human.
3. Would otherwise live if not interfered with.
4. defenseless.

So is it right to destroy defenseless human life just for the convenience or profit of someone else?

Obvious not.

This is a just law.
