Cartoon Plagiarism Case Offers a Metaphor for the Abortion Debate

"If my mother had an abortion, I wouldn't be alive today." Or go on the internet to form a poorly worded argument. If your mother had an abortion, she wouldn't know who you were, she wouldn't miss you because you never existed and you wouldn't miss life because you never lived. This is like saying, "If I only chose the winning lottery numbers instead of the numbers I picked, I would've been a millionaire." "What would've happened if I ordered soup instead of salad?" There are thousands of things in life that you decided not to do that are what ifs that have absolutely no bearing on your future because they never happened. Should a woman feel like a murderer every month because they 'wasted a potential life.' Should a man cry over ejaculate because he committed genocide. No, because that's fucking retarded.

Go Bill!!! Your completely right we will send you flowers!

the thing with abortion is that it kills a potential human being. for instance, if my mother had an abortion, i wouldn't be alive... fetuses grow up to be babies, which grow up to be adults, it's wrong for us to decide to end this potential life...

its not just about the thinking and feeling, like if you asked the baby if it wanted to live or die it wouldnt answer because it hasnt developed sentient thinking yet HOWEVER the point is that no one has the right to take the life of another. in any circumstances. it got placed there, sh*t happens, deal with it, dont take the easy way out, chances are youll hate yourself for it after anyways, i know most people do.. honestly stop being ignorant and look up google images 'abortion' and think about if you actually believe thats okay.

Actually, embryos do not technically fit the 6 qualifications to be "living" (go Google it if you want). They are not able to maintain homeostasis, which is why they live inside the mother. Just as well, all of you trying to make arguments and misspelling "fault" or other elementary words are just lowering your ethos. Finally, if killing an embryo is murder, then every time a male masturbates he kills millions, and every month a women commits murder by not fertilizing that living egg and instead letting it die.

Sooo, going back to the original point... GEEZ! He clearly plagiarized, and plagiarism is BAD! Stealing artists' work and claiming it as your own is an evil thing to do and this guy deserved to get fired! Discussion? Anyone agree or disagree?

to say they are either my baby or no ones baby is completely selfish!..was atually quite disgusted reading that especially given the situation that you was adopted and claim that you had a decent childhood!!...just proves that although biologically your parents were unable to look after you for whatever reason, there are people out there who ware willing to care for other peoples children whether they are able to conceive or not!!...total rubbish shelby j just said!!!!!!!!!

i definately think abortion is MURDER! it is a living thing, even though it isnt fully developed! It should be illegal!!!!!!!!!

ok. 1: a baby can think and can feel. 2: Shelby j. if you are slleping around with guys are not ready for commitment... why should your baby have to suffer for your carelessness? abortion is murder.

Well, I hate to say it but, eventhough I'm only 18, I am a little active and if I were to get pregnent by some guy I knew wouldn't stay around for the child I would want an abortion or I would just go entirely poor trying to care for the child. I myself was adopted, by good people at that, but I would NEVER EVER do that to a child of mine! They are either MY baby or no one's baby! I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing that someone else is taking care of my child because I was not able to. I would have to see them like once a week AT LEAST and let them know that I never stoped loving them and I never will. It's different when you're adopted you always wonder, Why??? What did I do??? Did she just not want me??? Was I not good enough??? Not convient??? And most of all you realise that the relationship all the other kids around you have with their parents is so much stronger then what you have with your parents. People don't say,'you have your mothers eyes' or ' you have you fathers nose' instead they say 'O I didn't realize she was your kid.' It's just depressing.

Hello, FINALLY!!! I TOTALY AGREE!!! First organ that develops is the heart!!! Women that get abortion don’t have a hear and are the most selfish KILLERS in the world!!!

Is a solution to a problem, or is it murder? Sure, its alive right from conception, but not really. But, can it think? Can it feel? Is it even aware of its own existence? No, no and again I say no. People are going to do what they want with their unborn and no abortionazi can stop them. Get over it.

That is I agree with both of you ladies. That's my belief and nobody can change my mind not even with money.

I'm just looking around and I saw this. I agree with u Destiny. My input is that u should find out who your senator or congress people are and write them, even a small letter. They may not care, but then its completly their falt, they heard the voice of a citizen and thats as much as we can legally do. Abortion is legal because "the squeaky hinge gets the oil". People in favor kept screaming about it while we just watched now its at post-birth abortion! Ridiculous

when does life begin? life begings as soon as the sperm and the egg is connected. it starts developing the baby from that point. its not just a form of tissue, we arent another animal. we are set apart from everything els on earth. that is why we own dogs, dogs dont own us!!! abortion SHOULD be illegal!!!! peple are so stupid. please write me back on this i want people input.
