"I don't particularly see many people who are pro-choice, using the argument that "fetuses are parasites, and women should be able to remove parasites from them.""

abortion fundamentally is a process that treats unborn babies as if they are parasites that must be eradicated when the mothers call for it... do you agree?

I do not.  

Trivializing it that way, diminishes the hard ship that woman undergo when they make that decision.  Deciding to have an abortion is not an easy thing for the vast majority of women.

" for example: http://www.prochoiceactionnetwork-canada.org/articles/fetus-focus-fallacy.shtml is trying to make is by saying that having a child brings an emotional and physical toll on the mother. "

you understand that physical and emotional toll are both connected to depletion of resources right?

if i spend all day swinging a sledge hammer breaking up rocks and i go home and say "man i'm tired as shit" you don't think that has anything to do with my muscles working and depleting the energy of my body resulting in both my body and mind becoming exhausted?

Sure.  When paying for my next TV, I will just give the cashier some food, because it's all just resources.  

Or maybe I should just smile, because depeleting the energy stores I have to give them a smile ought to be just as good as money.

Just because those things are "resources" doesn't mean they are viewed in the same way.  

Society makes distinctions with different types of resources, you should too.

"I'd rather pay taxes to go towards the less fortunate.  Even if only 1 out of a 100 genuinely needed it.  You can't be pro-life while looking the other way when people die of starvation."

i don't think any person can be considered less fortunate or vulnerable than an unborn baby

Sure. 

"Trivializing it that way, diminishes the hard ship that woman undergo when they make that decision. "

all women?

"So, a thought just randomly came into my head, and I know it’s going to sound harsh to all the parent lurkers out there. Kind of want to see how many people agree with this.

I can’t deal with seeing pregnant women. I can’t stand the ‘baby bump’ - it actually makes me feel sick. I just keep thinking that it’s a parasite (I know, harsh) and how much it would be so gross if it was in me, like a massive tapeworm except it makes you bigger instead of smaller."

" I realized in the car on the way home that I had been 'cured' from the parasite that was inside me making me constantly pee and vomit. The profound feeling of joy that I felt from that realization really was what convinced me that I truly didn't want children. No guilt, no wondering if I did the right thing, no worrying about some non-existent 'potential life'. It would have been best to not have abortions, but in some ways I'm glad I did cuz that's what it took to teach me I really didn't want children. My my baby brain friends might tell me that my feelings would change once 'I felt that precious life kicking inside me'. Sorry, nope."

"Hi childfree, I've been commenting quite a bit but I never posted. Here's my little story.

During a talk with my mom (who accepts my childfree lifestyle), we went onto the subject of abortion (about news in the US in particular) and I made the mistake of calling a foetus a parasite."

"Heyo guys, throwaway because I'm not a fan of breeders and forced birthers flooding my inbox. Due to some stupidity on my part I had unprotected sex and surprise surprise a parasite took camp in my uterus."

"Just because those things are "resources" doesn't mean they are viewed in the same way.

that's actually a fair argument i suppose how relevant my comparison is hinges on why democrats believe people should be obligated to give their resources up for programs like ubi

to me it looks like the reasoning can be applied to unborn children in the same way since it is argued that people who are less fortunate should be given the means to survive from those who are more fortunate

why do you think this excludes children?

"Sure. "

do you disagree that unborn babies are probably the least fortunate and most vulnerable group there is?
