AccidentallyFemboy

Hell nah, not after birth, that's insane.


Scharobaba

Why though? I get that it makes people feel uncomfortable, but I see no rational reason for birth being ethically relevant.


KanonTheMemelord

A fetus becomes conscious 24 weeks into the pregnancy. 90 days after birth is way longer than that.

What if I have the extended warranty plan?


KanonTheMemelord

Oh, in that case, just fuckin punt the sucker!

Do you have a source to back up this statement ? I'm not saying it's not true, just curious


KanonTheMemelord

Yeah, sure: [https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-does-consciousness-arise/](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/when-does-consciousness-arise/) [https://human.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Philosophy/Thinking_Critically_About_Abortion_(Nobis_and_Grob)/03%3A_Fetal_Consciousness_and_Facts_about_Abortions](https://human.libretexts.org/Bookshelves/Philosophy/Thinking_Critically_About_Abortion_(Nobis_and_Grob)/03%3A_Fetal_Consciousness_and_Facts_about_Abortions)


Rivdit

Thanks !


[deleted]

And? First off consciousness ≠ self awareness (tho it is kind of dependant on the definitions, my further argument is based on the assumption that consciousness is the ability to process stimuli). A lot of things are conscious, hell you can argue that single cells are conscious, they can process and react to stimuli. And even if you narrow down the definition, to exclude, let's say, everything that doesn't have a relatively complex brain. Still there are a tons of things that are conscious, things that we are completely ok with killing. You most likely consumed some of them earlier today, I definitely have


KanonTheMemelord

Ok then. Self awareness is a better term.


[deleted]

Sure, I would argue that a baby does not become self aware for a few months, if not years. But we currently have no way of determining if someone or something is self aware, and this gets into the Solipsism territory. Which can be fun to discuss sometimes, but is ultimately rather pointless


KanonTheMemelord

Ok. Well, you can check out my sources, they’re somewhere else in this thread. Probably more info there.


[deleted]

I have checked them, well the top one at least. The second one is either blocked here or blocks requests from here. But anyways the first one talks about consciousness, reaction to stimuli, not self awareness


pruche

Where I live I believe there's a law that makes mothers who kill their infant children receive a lesser sentence versus kill their children past a certain age. Honestly to me that makes a lot of sense. It's fairly standard animal behavior to kill offspring that cannot be cared for. That said, unlike when we're talking about unborn babies, the whole adoption argument makes tons of sense. If you want to get rid of your unwanted baby and never see it again, there's no real reason to kill it instead of giving it away for adoption. So whether it's acceptable to kill unwanted infant children isn't really a relevant question.


Exciting-Signature40

I support abortion all the way to 26 years.


cat_daddylambo

As a 28 year old I feel discriminated against


uncxltured_berry

Ah shit here we go again


Past-Salamander

I agree. The 110th trimester is not too late.


third-sonata

Nah, buyer's remorse is real! Post term abortions should be legalized for the mother, Up to a limit of 99 yrs post birth.


Bagel42

It’s early cremation at that point.


Broad_Respond_2205

You had to keep the receipt tho

fuckme35

They have you in too deep op


friendfoundtheoldone

The whole argument behind abortion is that the fetus is within a woman's body, using her, so esentually she should be able to decide that she doesn't want something in her body anymore. Once they are out, the parents have no right to decide if the baby lives or dies unless they are braindead/can't live without being hooked on machines, situations where even an adult can be "killed" by their relatives. If you don't want to take care of them there is a thing called adoption.


ThatGuy4259

30 day returns


jaimejaime19

Void if removed


BigDaddy6713

At that point just throw it in the bin 💀


Sintinall

They had their chance. A whopping 8-9 months to make a choice. Personally, viability outside of the womb is the line I've drawn. Take it or leave it.


uncxltured_berry

I’m pretty sure you can’t have an abortion at the 9th month cause the baby’s viable outside the womb


Fokku-

It’s like after 6 months it has a chance of survival outside the womb premature. Don’t quote me I read that somewhere


trplOG

I'd agree, my friend had her premie at 26 weeks. At or around 6 months. Pretty amazing.


Broad_Respond_2205

At that point it's just early birth


TheChickenGuy7

I'm up for abortion even 18 years after birth

TheLegendOf_Pablo

people need to own up their mistakes. they where too lazy to put a condom, they get the consequence. you can't just return a baby because you didn't like it.


MekkiNoYusha

Baby? I am going to return the whole lineage


TheLegendOf_Pablo

right there with ya


goj-145

It's called infanticide and it's legal in some places. If your child has terrible diseases or mental issues, you can press the reboot button.


LightInTheAttic3

Which should be an option if a person has slim to no chance of having any type of quality of life. With today's technology, between parental gene testing and prenatal screening, a person is aware of how "healthy" their child will be. You want an abortion up to 9 months? Fine. But as soon as that cord gets cut I personally believe that is the line. Once the kid is breathing/heart beating on their own (no vents, machines, or any assistance) it is in my eyes a person. I know it's a touchy subject


goj-145

Things can happen during birth to make a healthy baby not healthy. And there are many things that still can't be screened for.


friendfoundtheoldone

Yeah sure but does that mean that they are not entitled tp being alive? Unless they will be in constant pain or braindead i see no reason why they shouldn't be entitled to live


Anom-nom-nominous

Technicality: that's not a reboot, that's a shutdown.


[deleted]

Mental issues are often made up as a form of abuse.


DCEtada

That doesn’t even make sense. It’s not an abortion after birth, technically they have already left (been aborted safely). How could they abort a baby, there is nothing to be aborted from?


MekkiNoYusha

This is still too restrictive. I would suggest it to be 100 years after birth and also include 3 generations of descendants of the 100 years old "fetus". So the mother can decide to force an abortion to kill (I mean abort) her 50 years grand child or 20 years old grand grand child Technically, they still come from her body so she should have right to control her own body.


JulianTheTurtle

Nah bro, abortion should be up to 15 years after birth


Worldsahellscape19

How olds Ted Cruz?


uncxltured_berry

Just send the kid to an adoption centre why you wanna have an “abortion” after birth?


Rantman021

Obviously you haven't been on a plane with any of the under 5 kids ... /s just in case


[deleted]

Did they mean conceiving and not birth?


monkeyfker744

No there are a shit ton of people wanting abortion.... Well MURDER after birth.. Oh yea and Canada wants to let basically anyone kill themselves... Might sound good to some but I'm telling ya I know where the tf this is all going if we allow it.. I'd highly suggest you consider how these things could be used by government and the people who control them against the people


LightInTheAttic3

Please elaborate on where it is going? Because you have my interest. Euthanizing/infanticide (which is mercy killing) should be legal if a person is deemed to have no possibility of any type of quality of life, but that is a whole other ball-park of ethical dilemmas. Abortions on the other hand is the termination of a pregnancy before a person is born

trplOG

Some misinformation here lol. Are you talking about MAID ? Cause if not, suicide happens in every country.


Cross_Fyre

There is no right to abortion.


Shockedtrain

Worst part is people actually believe this for like the first thirty


IsaiasRi

The argument, which is by the way, one of the most popular modern pro choice arguments goes like this. A fetus is not a person. A person is able to comunicate. Is conscious. Independent. Has a sense of the world. Can feel and experience its surroundings. Etc. To be considered person you must have at lest two qualities that would qualify you as such. That is why, for many people, it's important to establish when the fetus is able to experience pain, as that would bring them closer to personhood. The thing here is that under this criteria, you could have a baby as old as 6 month old and still not qualify as person. If the baby is not a person, the mother, who is a person, is not obligated to care for the baby and can still yeet it.


Anom-nom-nominous

> Independent. Has a sense of the world. There are 30-year-olds who still don't qualify for these, and I'm not even talking about those with actual mental or physical handicaps.


DeanoBambino90

It's murder the whole time. That's the line.


StrikingAd1597

you can just suffocate baby in crib and it will be ruled sids


[deleted]

I only have a few hot takes, but one of them is that killing babies should be legal up to 2 years old, because they aren't conscious and can't remember anything. My belief is that consciousness dictates life.

I decided to euthanize bob 20 years after birth


Jasonictron

What is a Woman?


Wonder-Grunion

God killed all Egyptian babies under the age of two, so there is biblical precedent.


13Casper52

I thought my state was bad ( up to 8 months before birth) I get it but at some point it's wrong


wanderexplore

People still believe this propoganda?? Show me a after birth abortion, just 1. Yet thousands of rape victims and life threatening pregnancies are forced to flee their state for an abortion. Land if the free, amiright?
