Not every women chooses to have sex

Thousands, probably more, have been sexually assaulted by men and left with a pregnancy they don't want. So, in the logic of: "if you don't want a baby, then don't have sex", if you are against abortion, don't impregnate people that don't want to be impregnated. Onto the baby in the stroller argument. A baby in a stroller is WILDLY different then a fetus in the womb. The baby in the stroller has life, a growing conscience, and emotions. The fetus in the womb does not. It is a group of cells at most, none of which have a conscience or emotions. Cells die constantly. So, if you don't want to kill the group of cells you are claiming to be a whole baby, then you shouldn't clean yourself. Showers, brushing teeth, washing hands, etc. all kill cells. You can argue that those are two different things, but then again, you said a baby in the womb is the same as a baby in the stroller. If you don't want abortions, then you shouldn't want any living thing to die, right? That includes plants and animals. Therefore, you wouldn't be able to survive. Also, pregnancies can be fatal for the mother. Sometimes abortion is the only way to prevent it. Would you rather have both die, or just the one that isn't even fully developed. On top of all of that, it's the mother's choice. How would you feel if someone made a choice about your body that you had to abide by? Especially a choice that you wouldn't make yourself? That is what these women have to deal with because of people like you. With anti-abortion laws, they have even less control of their body. It's dehumanization.

Biology has literally told us that life starts at the moment of conception so when the sperm fertilized the egg, a new human being is formed and should be protected as for your argument on conscience and emotions what about pre natal babies? should they also be terminated? I mean technically it wasn't supposed to be on its own yet so why not end the suffering? because in true reality we know that taking another human beings life without their consent/choice is wrong. As for your whole arguement of cells on your body, given the same time as a child or not it will die out on its own regard…  Read more

Trump’s Doom vs. Harris’s Hope as America Decides Its Fate

Donald J. Trump and Kamala Harris closed out their campaigns in the final hours before Election Day in starkly different moods: The former president, often appearing drained at arenas that were not filled, claimed that the country was on the brink of ruin, while the vice president promised a more united future as energized supporters chanted alongside her, “We’re not going back.”In stop after stop, the presidential rivals essentially offered up two competing versions of reality on Monday and into early Tuesday. Mr. Trump repeatedly raised the specter of unchecked immigration and the dangers of Democratic policies as he spoke to crowds in North Carolina and Pennsylvania before closing with a midnight rally in Michigan.With a comparatively more optimistic message, Ms. Harris crisscrossed Pennsylvania, which holds 19 electoral votes that could decide the race. Stopping in Scranton, Allentown and Pittsburgh before a nighttime rally in Philadelphia, Ms. Harris talked about bolstering the economy and restoring federal abortion rights. She asserted that Americans were “exhausted” and ready to move on from the politics of the past decade.About 30 miles to the southwest, Mr. Trump was in Reading, Pa., broadly portraying undocumented immigrants as mentally ill criminals and calling those accused of crimes “savages” and “animals.”Both leaned on Hispanic supporters as they tried to rally Latino voters. The pro-Harris rapper Fat Joe, who is Puerto Rican, practically shamed his fellow Latinos in Allentown as he asked, “Where’s your pride?” Mr. Trump, still facing fallout from his rally in New York at which a comedian called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” brought Roberto Clemente Jr., the son of the Puerto Rican baseball legend, to the stage at a rally in Pittsburgh.But Mr. Trump, reaching the end of a grueling marathon of a campaign that began in 2022, looked visibly weary, battling fatigue in front of listless crowds, though he was relatively more upbeat and energized in Michigan. Ms. Harris, still appearing fresh after a three-month sprint, appealed for unity and pressed the contrast to her rival without uttering his name.“The measure of a true leader is based not on who you beat down,” she said. “It is based on who you lift up.”Despite the sharply different tones, polls suggest the race remains tight, with the final New York Times/Siena College surveys showing the candidates tied or holding only narrow leads in all of the seven battleground states.
