re: #183 WindUpBird

Abortions are.

special.

cases.

it’s real weird that you’re equating a totally elective thing like a tattoo with someone being pregnant.

Real weird

Also “immune from all law”? What the hell?

It isn’t weird. If the argument is that it’s their body then tattoos should be covered.

We as a society have decided people under the age of 18 are not entirely responsible for their actions because they’re young and dumb and being pregnant doesn’t change that at all. Blocking the rights of parents to raise their children is offensive. There isn’t any other medical or cosmetic procedure people would say kids should be allowed to have done on their own but abortion and I think that’s mostly due to dogma and politics. It’s like the NRA arguing the right to carry means I have the right to own and drive a tank. The right to privacy, and hence abortion, is no more absolute than the 1st amendment or the 2nd, etc., etc. The idea that there can be no restrictions whatsoever is, IMHO, crazy talk.
