Abortion: Why Not Thoughts and Prayers?

Re: Abortion: Why Not Thoughts and Prayers?

Hey man, the ability for corporations to be unregulated and make more profit is way more important than a woman’s fertility or body

Excuse me, but in this past Sunday's episode did Jon Oliver say that IUDs have been shown to cause perforation of the uterus? And that improper hip replacements have also caused pain "down there"? Holy fcking ****.

The mesh stuff was the worst. And yes. All of that is happening in the name of less regulation and more profit.

Haven't seen LWT yet, but a couple months back 60 Minutes did a segment and Boston Scientific and meshes that was mind-boggling.

You only have a right to buy life insurance if a company is offering it, and had decided that you medically qualify for it, assuming they have such qualification needs with their product. If nobody's willing to sell it to you based upon legally discriminating qualifiers, you don't have the right to buy it. That goes for policies placed upon you, me, your wife, or your unborn baby's mama.

Yes. The only real argument here was the slippery slope argument. Once you define a fetus as a person than that person gets all rights associated with being a person.

I would imagine given the fact that many pregnancies end in miscarriages that the cost of the insurance would be very high. Which further highlights how ridiculous it is that we would be investigating those potential mothers for murder.
 
Re: Abortion: Why Not Thoughts and Prayers?

Why would anybody ever buy life insurance for a baby? Life insurance replaces income if you die. The f-ck income does the baby provide?

Edit: oh, I get it. It's to fight the Dumbf-ckistan police state that's claiming your fetus is a person and a miscarriage is a murder.

Carry on.

I understand your reasoning, I'm just saying that the argument holds no water. Even if companies did technically offer life insurance, they'd find a way to make sure that only those people least likely to have natal issues would be insured, making it a moot point. Either the fetus is out because the mother is deemed too high of a risk and they price the family out of the market, or the company sets too stringent of guidelines just because it doesn't really want to sell the product for various reasons.

I think an argument that holds no water is a good argument if what it is arguing against also holds no water.

Get it now?

No. I think it comes off as a sort of wittiness that college freshmen like to bestow upon the world, neither witty or original.

Ridiculous that anyone would jump to conclusions that life insurance for said fetus was a “right” :)
