Abortion

Abortion is an interesting topic, because there are conflicting interests. 
Babies have the inherent right to life, as given to them by a creator.
Some men and women, under certain conditions, want to get rid of the baby, because delivering it will have major financial consequences.
My solution is not to make abortions illegal, but to make it so that people make their own decisions, at their own cost, with their own minds and money, and the conditions defined. The conditions should be limited to sound medical reasons, substantial risk to lives or sexual assault. The abortion should also take place within the first 3 months. This should make people more aware of the consequences of their actions, which should be a positive outcome for both the mother, family and the child. Finally, this should also compromise a variety of views and interests.

Are babies alive and have human rights? YES! If someone pulled the fetus out of the mother and destroyed it, the person can be sued and put in jail for life for MURDER. The only time it is not, is when the fetus dies or is hurt, has a defect or the mother's life is endangered.
So the fetus/baby has a LEGAL human rights unless it is a danger to others or itself, where other rules overrides it.

Now, to the mother's rights. The baby is in the mother's body, but whether it is part of her body or a sovereign body is up for lots of debate, just as the issue of whether life begins at contraception. For the sake of covering the worst case scenario of this dilemma, I will assume that it is part of the mother's body. This means that the mother has the power to decide the fate of the child. But only if it affects her in a way that can be proven to be endangering or as a result of rape

Abortions as a result of rape can be prevented, should a person choose to do so. Humans have since had the ability to control their own fertility, and it's called birth-control pills. 

Feminists like to think and argue that women are special and helpless. They try to single out issues that concern to women and use those as bases to work outwards. Yet, if you look at women as nothing more than human beings, you realize that feminism was built on a huge mound of logical fallacies and hypocrisy. I hope women would think about this from a human, rather than female point of view and see through the sad, self-pitying crap before it engulfs the world.

One thing I hope everyone can agree on is that government should not, using taxpayer money, help abort fetuses. This is because, no one gets to control what their tax dollars are used for directly, and there are always some who won't agree with abortion.  
If one wants an abortion, people will have to fund it from some feminist charity, insurance or out of their own pockets. 

Suppose someone stole something from a victim. The victim goes over to the police. The thief is caught and charged with theft. But the item stolen was never found. Is it possible to get the police to buy you back the thing that was stolen? No. The police, courts and government don't do that. Why should they bail a woman/human out of a rape case? 

The government is not a savior designed to help everyone at everything. It just never works, unless government is able to create new resources infinitely and indefinitely. But that's never possible, so feminism would fail too.

So, I have arrived at the optimum method for defeating feminism. It is very simple. You leave them alone. Eventually, it would just collapse under its own weight or be overthrown by its once faithful followers, like the Soviet Union. In the meantime, one can speed up the process by getting others to challenge their own opinions.

On a completely irrelevant topic, I have received my "detention" letter for "failing to goto Sports and Leisure".

I don't really know about feminism, so I can't say anything on the issue.

Abortion is important issue, but perhaps it comes down to reproductive rights.

Do men have the right to stop an abortion? No.

But the woman bearing the fetus also has no right to abort the baby whenever she wants to. A woman is only the vessel by which the baby grows. The baby is a lump of living matter and fulfills the criteria of a living thing.

The only time a woman can abort the baby is when she is clearly endangered by medical conditions, or is raped or any other life-threatening thing to baby or mother.

An accidental pregnancy? Deal with it! Choices have consequences, and this isn't any exception.
