LordReed: You argument is not making sense. If the Nazis can see the below as murder, it means there is objective truth. Like Xavier5 tells you, subjective truth also exist. You can say doing one thing is right when one person do it but wrong when another person do that same thing.

Xavier5: It’s interesting to read all your concern about the fetus without considering how a woman will treat an unwanted fetus inside her body. You surely know that her lifestyle, mental health, eating habits and possible substance abuse all have an impact on the fetus and with the development of the nervous system the pain that she can inflict on the fetus and then embryo will be felt more intensely. Will anyone be there to protect this fetus from what a woman can do or not do to ensure that it is provided with everything a fetus/embryo needs and save it from any harm? And how has the ban on abortion stopped women from having abortions? 2 Likes 1 Share |

LordReed: In order to sneak this reductive argument as something viable or even sensible, you first have to define a fetus as an unwanted parasite that appeared out of nowhere without the consent of the woman. FYI, there are a gazillion parasites that don't need to live inside the body of the host. Cuckoo Bird is one good example. Besides, a 1-year-old baby cannot survive on its own, too. Why not extend the limit of the abortion to 1 year? The parasite argument can work perfectly in that case. The woman has every right to her body, but society has the right to autonomy and can rightfully deny her their labor in helping her get abortion. I made the same argument to Ijeb back with my buying a prescription drug from a pharmacy. If the woman could chuk her hand inside her womb to remove the baby, there wouldn't be this back-and-forth debate about pro-life or pro-choice. But, society is involved in making this decision because the woman needs the skills of society to make that procedure possible. So, who's autonomy is greater, the autonomy of society, or the autonomy of a single individual? The Trolley dilemma argument, perhaps? So, what's the better argument? It's the burning house analogy! Ask Xavier5 to choose between a 1-year-old baby and an embryo in a petri dish or even a dog from a burning building. He'll pick the 1-year-old baby if he's human and believes any of the "intrinsic human value" he claims all humans have. Oh....@budaatum, I see what you mean! I guess, Xavier hasn't done his homework. How can all humans value other humans in the same manner we have a history of slavery, tribalism, racism, and war. hahaha. You know what, instead of banning the bible and the Quran why not rewrite it ? I mean, we could literally just slowly phase out the old stuff and input new ideas into it. "thou shalt love thy neighbor from other tribes and countries as well" "Thou shalt not bother about your neighbors sexual orientation or lifestyle" 1 Like 1 Share |

Xavier5: Imaging saying there is nothing wrong with the genocide done to the Jews because he thinks it is lawful. How? How do you go about killing a particular race and another person says, well, there is no law stopping that and the Nazis don't see it as bad or murder so it is fine. Anything you think in life is the right thing because it is your belief. |

Xavier5: I thought you are someone I can have a good conversation with but I see you are just too emotional to get your points across without insults. Check it have I used any words like ridiculous to address any of your posts? No but you feel you should use such insults to respond to me. Not going to bother responding to you any further. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Maeve7: I think, women who are that careless usually end up in jail and charged with murder if the baby is born with developmental problems. In November, a California woman who gave birth to a stillborn baby and admitted to using methamphetamine while she was pregnant was charged with murder. The case touched a nerve, igniting a debate over whether mothers should be held accountable for their drug use or treated with compassion for their addictions. |

LordReed: It is okay to say someone is ridiculous or a post is ridiculous. That's not an insult. You are being petty. And if you think the Nazis subjective truth in killing the Jews is okay as objective truth does not exist. Why do you care someone calls your post ridiculous? |

Xavier5: I guess your "I'm a liberal" stance was a pretext to have a full throated discussion about the pro Life position in this thread afterall . Who would have thought? (sarcasm) |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by Xavier5(m): 1:49pm On Oct 08 |
LordReed: So if an idea is ridiculous, I shouldn't call it so? So you are trying to tell me that blaming an innocent fetus for something that isn't its fault and using it as a justifiable reason to kill it is not ridiculous? Or you're trying to tell me that killing a fetus when it doesn't threaten the life of the woman isn't ridiculous? Even wirinet did not go this far for Christ sake. #Xavier |
Re: American Politics Thread: Trump Is President-Elect! by bemeruca: 1:52pm On Oct 08 |
LordReed:Here and I can go deeper and quote more. You seem to not understand subjective and objective morality LordReed: If a government make a law to kill people does not mean killing people is okay. You are conflating things when you asked what law stopped the Nazis from killing Jews. |

Xavier5: Are you suggesting that adoption/orphanages will make a woman provide the necessary care for the unwanted fetus/embryo inside her body and stop her from harming it with e.g. substance abuse? |

kkins25: Not necessary to. You can invite a guest to your house today and kick them out tomorrow. Does it make you an arsehole, absolutely but it remains your prerogative. The woman has every right to her body, but society has the right to autonomy and can rightfully deny her their labor in helping her get abortion. I made the same argument to Ijeb back with my buying a prescription drug from a pharmacy. Sure but I don't want a society that forces women to have babies against their will.

bemeruca: That's always the problem with this absolute relativist. They refuse to acknowledge that some things are actually or inherently true or right irrespective of personal opinions. But these are the same people that will be screaming rape is evil even though the rapist doesn't see it as so. These same people will be screaming election deniers are wrong even though the election deniers think they're saying the truth. Why will they do the above if they think nothing is actually or inherently true, except they believe somethings are actually or inherently true irrespective of personal opinions. They never fail to contradict themselves and shoot themselves on the foot. You say you don't believe in intrinsic human value, but you scream human rights and equality. How please? Why not also extend that to plants and animals, since intrinsically there's no difference in our and their value... thanks to all being intrinsically valueless. Truth is, there are philosophies, and there is truth. There are philosophies, and there is reality. Reality always has a way of bringing us back to the truth irrespective of philosophies. Objectivity and subjectivity exist. #Xavier 1 Like |

bemeruca: Where do I say it is right? I simply pointed out that legally the Nazi laws did not prevent them from killing the Jews rather they made laws that allowed them to do it. Did you not see where I said the Allies saw it as murder? You guys aren't ready for this debate. |

LordReed:Not if the supposed guests are my own children, which I had to engage i coitus to create out of my will. Sure but I don't want a society that forces women to have babies against their will.Sure. But even if society turns a blind eye, nature will carry out its course. It's not society forcing her to, It's good-old mother nature. Over the body of the individual? The individual should have autonomy. Of course. However, the autonomy of the individual cannot supersede that of society. After all, as much of an introvert as I am, when I left Christianity, it was hell. And I'm able to survive because I found society in my nairalander folks and those online. Without society, the individual becomes insane.

Maeve7: I mentioned child healthcare and welfare systems. With such, if a woman is known to be a drug addict, the government steps in to prevent her from doing that with the needed policies and healthcare. And when she gives birth and it is determined that she can't cater for that child, then the well funded orphanage system comes in to cater for the child. If there's a relative that's willing to shoulder that responsibility, then the child can be handed over to them. If money is the issue for the relatives, then the well funded child support system comes in. But I also emphasized the allowance of temporal pro-choice until the mentioned system, which I personally call the Abortion Mitigating System aka AMS, is effectively established. #Xavier |
