Hello Pro-Choice!!

[Dial_tone]

Intellectual laziness is the path of least resistance.

Do you consider yourself a beneficiary of someone's choice not to have an abortion?

I consider myself the beneficiary of someone's choice to have a child. A choice to do one if automatically a choice not to do the other. What's your point?

A different way of saying "You are a consequence of someone else's choice not to abort you."

Aren't you glad that they did not abort you?

Having a baby is a selfish act.
The baby did not request life.
Therefore having a child is a choice as is not having one.

Then of course the real excitement begins when there hadn't been a choice made and POOF there he or she is in the world - or not.

Which is like saying "arent you glad they decided to have sex"

or "aren't you glad your grandma got knocked up by your grand-dad and had to have a baby"

or "aren't you glad the earth has an oxygen based atmosphere and humans can live and procreate here...."

You can take it back as far as you want. I don't think it's a useful way to make your point.

Yes, but if they did it would still have been their choice and I wouldn't be around to not be glad about it.

If DT's Mom decided to abort him, no DT.

So for him to say he has no opinion on it (he said "It's a woman's issue") ignores the fact that said issue has impacted him. DT is a man. Hence it is not merely a woman's issue.

Sorry if too complex for you.

Same is true if they drowned you at age 1.

What's the difference as far YOU (your life) are concerned?

Not that. I'm just saying that the old "same as if" routine is not a really good way to make a point. Because eventually it's not the same as if...

Soo.......if I decide to go have a vasectomy tomorrow that affects my unborn children too. Should I not be able to do that?

(I do see your point, however it's clearly your weakest ever)
