Why don't feminists ever defend the baby's body and the baby's rights?

Not all feminists are pro choice.

You should learn not to generalize.

Wow... That baby you show is 5 1/4 months fetus and no one could terminate that. You can only terminate a fetus up to 3 months along. As a feminist I think some babies are better off never coming to be. I think some people both men and women make horrible parents. I think adoption centers are said places and too many of the kids wonder why their parents didn't love them. I believe that being pro-choice I am defend the baby's body and the baby's right. The right to not be born in an abusive family, the right to not be born into poverty, the right not to be sent to an adoption clinic and wonder why their parents did not love them, and finally the right to go to back to the beginning and start all over with parents who really want them. Do I wish abortion didn't have to happen of course. Do I think it should be birth control no. If we can make decisions for what is best for our children then why can't abortion be one of them.

Are you stupid or have you just lived under a rock your whole life? Babies DO have rights and most people (feminists included) would beat the hell out of someone who harmed a helpless baby.

The picture you showed is not a picture of a fetus when most of them get aborted. If someone aborted the fetus in the picture you showed us, it is most likely because of a medical emergency. Education is power. Remember that.

First of all...Feminist are not united on this issue. There are many pro-life feminist. So your Q should be why don't pro choice....

Secondly I agree the fetus is a child at 22 weeks, it's brain is functioning, it has lungs, nervous system skin. I don't support late term abortions(unless medically necessary)

you need to under stand that less then 1.5% of abortions happen this late.

Most happen around or before the eight week...

Because an embryo has no rights a "right" is something you have because you are powerfull enought to keep it and an unborn baby has no power

feminists only defend womens rights so most they could do is defend female only babies

Do you plan to ask this same question every few minutes?

I saw the exact same question go by on the board about 15 minutes ago. Whether it was you, or not....I couldn't say with certainty. But the wording is identical.

Don't ever insinuate that I'm a liar, dear. If you were worth the time.....I would forward through all the pages to re-find the question....but you're doing a fine job, all by yourself, of showing your idiocy.

I don't know about feminists defending or not defending a baby and their stance on abortion... but here is some additional information that may help support your argument that fetuses are more than "tadpoles"

Hope this helps.

To Dan_o_mi: You are insane to compare the death

sentence to abortion. Do you realize the people on death row are insane murderers? I don't know about you, but last I checked unborn babies were not going around stabbing people to death. There is a big difference. DON'T EVER COMPARE THOSE TWO AGAIN. Got it?

So many say "It's my body, it's my choice!"

Well, the fact is that Pro-choicer's don't realize is that it isn't their body they are killing. It is a totally different human being with a soul and a heart. Who can feel pain and love his/her mother before even being born! My baby was screaming in the hospital, but as soon as he heard my voice for the first time after being born, he stopped crying and looked right at me. He recognized my voice and was calmed. He felt comforted by it. He loved me and he hadn't even seen me!

Why is it so hard to give the child up for adoption?

You might get stretch marks and ruin your self-image? If the women of the world today would stop with this selfish mentality, then we wouldn't have abortions.

EDIT @ Shaznic: Life begins at conception and conception is the moment the sperm and egg meet. An unfertilized egg that is passed during menturation or a wasted sperm is not killing. They are two things that when combined create a baby, but when they are separate, they aren't human life. It isn't killing to use birth control unless it is the type that prevents the fertilized egg from attatching itself to the uterine wall.

EDIT @ Ladypame: "As a feminist I think some babies are better off never coming to be."

Babies at the moment of conception have "come to be". You should say that before conception.

Back-alley abortions and back-alley rapes are the same stuff.

It's hard to have faith in a society that can do this. We have someone running for president of the US who voted against a 2002 bill in IL (Born Alive Infant Protection Package) which would create a cause of action against a physician if a child is born alive after an attempted abortion and the physician, harms, neglects or fails to provide medical care for the child. We actually have to pass a bill to protect children BORN ALIVE (and from your proof) ABLE TO LIVE!
