ok if abortion does not treat unborn babies as if they are parasites, what would be a more apt comparison?

"your hypocrisy and lack of empathy."

lay out for me also how i have been hypocritical and i suppose my lack of empathy just boils down to me disagreeing with you

i've long come to understand that generally the first people to jump to talking about empathy don't really understand what it means at all

"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."

https://www.reddit.com/r/childfree/comments/9pgx5q/parasite_be_gone/

"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.  

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

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?

Bahahahha! r/childfree?
Is that your source?

yeah why aren't they relevant? they are a group of democratic women who hate children

or do democrats that you disagree with not matter?

its not as if i couldn't get other examples, regardless, they were just the easiest i could think of and i'm honestly not going to put in that much effort to validate an argument that any honest person knows is true

You chose a fringe, fringe, fringe group of anonymous people that go to an internet subforum to hate on people with kids. That does not validate your argument. Also, prove their party affiliation if you will.

No. What does that have to do with the ridiculous sources used to push his arguments?

""Deciding to have an abortion is not an easy thing for the vast majority of women.""

is there any statistical data on this? 

"Most questions starting with "all" are going to be false, because there are 7 billion people and all of them are different. "

within the sentence i quoted you were generalising heavily and i thought that i should refute it because you weren't taking women with opposing views into account, and that's not fair to those women who you are not representing

"The typical argument is that people should be able to have control over what is inside their bodies."

yes i understand that, but what i'm saying is that there's no consistency here because the same people would argue that your body should be controlled for the good of society when some resources are taken from you for programs such as ubi

you obviously have to work harder to gather those additional resources so your bodily autonomy is reduced as a result

"I disagree with "least fortunate", I would agree with "most vulnerable".  "

why do you think they are less entitled to live than the poor?

i suppose you'd say that the poor under programs like ubi are not restricting the bodily autonomy of others like with pregnancy but that's not true since people have to work harder to support programs like ubi 

as i've said i could just as easily pull examples from more mainstream sources, but i'm not spending hours of my time pouring through articles to validate an argument that any sensible person would agree with

do i really have to prove that people who want to kill unborn children have little regard for unborn children?

but regardless i have to prove that pro abortion people are democrats? really?

This style of posting makes it super hard to respond coherently...

1.  Yes, I deny that.  I don't believe that most democrats support UBI in the first place.  And it's very possible to support abortion without thinking of a fetus as a parasite. I believe you yourself said you believe a woman has a right to abortion, but don't think a fetus is a parasite. You're taking positions espoused by some democrats and applying them to all.  This is indeed a basic part to whole fallacy.  

2.  No, you're clearly confusing literal with metaphorical.  Which you made even more clear.  The people you quoted above (especially the first one) are not saying that fetuses are metaphorically parasites, they are saying that they are literally parasites.  I would quote them... but that seems redundant. 

3. I'm going to have to doubt how genuine you're being if you honestly can't think of any differences between the situations.

One involves fully formed human beings only, one involves partially formed human beings that often have neither the capacity to reason or feel.  One restricts bodily autonomy, one does not (redistributing my income does not limit what I can do with my body).  One involves something growing in someone's body, one does not.  One poses significant health risks, to one party and death to the other, one does not.  One involves a medical procedure one does not.  

I get the weak analogy that's being made, but aside from the basic concept of redistributing resources, the situations are not really the same.  And again, these arguments are not being put forth by the same people.  You're trying to manufacture hypocrisy.
