Re: fuck Georgia

In other words, the intent is to terminate the pregnancy. That does not necessarily mean death of the fetus.

I think you're not properly applying the meaning of the word 'terminate' in this case.

And what are you suggesting happens AFTER, if this happens? Somebody is pregnant, wants an abortion. You say "So how about instead of the abortion, we take the zygote/fetus out of you...grow it in a lab and then......" do what? What are you planning on doing if that fetus then develops to the point where it becomes a real live human being? Give it up for adoption? Have the parents have to take it back? Raise it in the communal lab with all the other intended abortions?

Like...assuming anybody ever agrees to this procedure, WHY are you even doing it?

That's objectively incorrect. An abortion requires a pregnancy. Birth control is used to prevent a pregnancy from happening in the first place (i.e. woman is not pregnant to begin with, no abortion).

The logistics, such as the space needed for the labs, is definitely a consideration. It's also an addition and not a replacement; The woman still has the choice to keep the newborn or put it up for adoption.

Some women may have differing opinions on terminating a pregnancy. Some may want to end their pregnancy but still want to salvage the fetus and give it up for adoption. It's not guaranteed the attempt will be successful, although I see it the same way as other medical procedures: just because there isn't a method right now doesn't mean we can't work towards a method in the future. To me, not trying would be like throwing our hands up in the air about cancer treatment because there isn't some magical panacea to remove cancer cells from a patient's body. Even if the data collected about trying to salvage the fetus points toward it being impractical, that's useful information to share.

Of course, looking at the bigger picture that does go into how we can handle the foster care system in the United States in a much better way with the extra newborns put up for adoption. That's another discussion.

I can't wait for the day where literally thinking or saying "I don't think I'll have any children" is banned because its abortion.

Re: fuck Georgia

religious indoctrination and/or a desire to subjugate women

Is it possible one of these two things might infuriate you more?

it's interesting to think about what kind of laws were once considered outrageous but over time have evolved a sense of feeling normalized were it's no longer a question or a care.

I honestly don't think this has ever been anybody's position on the subject of terminating a pregnancy.

I see it the same way as other medical procedures: just because there isn't a method right now doesn't mean we can't work towards a method in the future.

I just don't think this procedure has any value. If somebody wants to have a baby and can't carry the baby themselves for medical reasons, IVF and Surrogacy are already solutions to that problem. If they don't want the pregnancy, they can just terminate it, job done.

You're seemingly wanting to solve a problem I don't think exists.

Re: fuck Georgia

You're seemingly wanting to solve a problem I don't think exists.

The fundamental key here is that the current abortion methods that are intended to terminate a state of pregnancy end up in the death of the fetus. If that wasn't the case, there wouldn't be this level of discourse in the pro-life movement. What is there to debate against if the fetus is transferred and still retained (or at least, attempted to be salvaged)? At the very least, it would be along the lines of "well a doctor can try, but it's not guaranteed to be successful".

It's not an either-this-or-that case; it's more of a technological limitations issue. The reason why we have the current medical and surgical abortion procedures that are the safest established methods for terminating a pregnancy is because that's what is currently known.

"IVF is the process of fertilization by extracting eggs, retrieving a sperm sample, and then manually combining an egg and sperm in a laboratory dish. The embryo(s) is then transferred to the uterus."

IVF is still putting the embryo back into the uterus. A woman can want a fetus to develop without wanting to risk complications of a pregnancy, or in the case of not wanting the pregnancy to begin with, still put it up for adoption and give up parental rights. There are different opinions for what a woman wants.

Re: fuck Georgia

Do you know of any women who've actually asserted that they want that?

And, once again because you somehow seem to keep missing it: The people who are anti-abortion / anti-choice DO NOT ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE ZYGOTE/FETUS/POTENTIAL FUTURE HUMAN. AT ALL.

They will accept on redirecting literally 0 dollars to find these new methods, they will allocate no resources, no manpower, no tax revenue to providing pregnant people MORE options. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THAT AT ALL.

Re: fuck Georgia

Ok so like im pretty dumb, but I'm sorta agreeing with devonin here, its like, what is the issue anyways?

I get it that pro-life people go like "life begins at conception!1!11" but like, why does it even matter? What is being accomplished by forcing that life to exist?

Do they do it so they can morally feel "well I did the right deed and blessed the sanctity of human life!!" and get like, a ego-boner from it or something? I just can't fathom the reasoning behind it, it's like fine if you believe life matters, but theres literally no reason behind it.

At the end of the day it seems like its just people trying to push the fact that theyre "morally correct" onto other people literally for the sake of doing just that, and not for the well being of anyone. If they cared about others well being then they'd just allow women to do what they want lol, so basically the impression I end up getting is that suddenly the life of the person having the child is worthless, but for some reason the life of the "baby that hasn't even been born" is suddenly OMG SO VALUABLE.

All in all people are dumb.

And, once again because you somehow seem to keep missing it: The people who are anti-abortion / anti-choice DO NOT ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT THE ZYGOTE/FETUS/POTENTIAL FUTURE HUMAN. AT ALL.

I just read dev say this, but can you elaborate on it? So if people who are anti abortion don't care about the future human or fetus, then whats the entire point of what theyre doing? I dont really get it lol

Re: fuck Georgia

Power and oppression.

They look back to the days where the man was the only authority in the household, and men were the only authority period. And they wish for a return to those days.

The "pro-life" movement is only anti-woman. It is not actually pro anything.
