Abortion in children’s forums

My sister was browsing through Gaia online today and she found a post in one of the forums that caught her attention… here I’m going to state exactly what was said.
Kikkaku: not all christians are anti-abortion
mortok: I hate these ones: Abortion doctors are murderers (more of an outright lie rather than a stereotype)


Green Day 68 : Technically, it IS murder because you’re killing a LIVE human being. :/
mortok: It isn’t because you aren’t. If it can’t exist independantly of it’s host, it can’t be considered a life.
Tarantellatears: Last I checked, “parasites” were still alive. Besides, a born baby can’t live independently of its parents – it would die too. Is a born baby not alive?
mortok: “Existing” and “surviving” are not the same thing. Rocks exist, don’t they?
To be considered it’s own, individual person (and have the associated rights thereof), it has to exist SEPERATELY from the mother, not inside her. WHile it is inside her, it is a part of her, and her right to bodily integrity allows her to do whatever she likes with it.
Femaleavatar: I’m not entirely anti-abortion (if the baby has bad genetics), but if it has good genes I feel the woman has an obligation to become a mother.
(I’m particularly proud of this one though it has nothing to do with the above statements)
Melancholy Cat: I’ve always hated how today’s humans are obsessed with gender. They define themselves based on their gender and try to define you based on your gender.
Every time someone says something like “girls, why is my girlfriend doing this” or “what gifts do boys like” I just want to go ape s**t.
This is not the whole conversation and there is plenty missing about other subjects.. if you would like to read the whole thing (I’m not sure if you need an account to read it) this is the address.
