What if?

[loveiseverywhere]

What would you do if you were visited by an angel who said that you had been chosen to go back.

Go back where you ask? Into the womb. And then, what if, once inside your mother's womb, you were told that your mother did not want you. That she would visit an abortion clinic tomorrow and you would be killed.

Would you go back into the womb and still cling to your belief that abortion is permissible or acceptable? That you would not be allowed to live the life you've lived, loved the people you've loved and been loved by?

What if?

"You slaughtered my children and offered them up to idols by causing them to pass through the fire. And besides all all your abominations and harlotries, you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood" (Ezekiel 16:21,22).

What would i as a fetus know about the world compared to a full grown adult?

Mother knows best.

 

[loveiseverywhere]

I didn't ask what a fetus would do. I asked what YOU as an adult would do if you were asked to go back into the womb of a mother who didn't want a baby.

What if the Flying Spaghetti Monster got into a fight with the Invisible Pink Unicorn?

Who would win?

You can only pick one, FSM or IPU.

No debate, just answer the question.

 

[Uphill Battle]

you're only going to get the question mocked or dodged. Good luck though.

As an Adult, of course I would not choose to go back and be aborted. However, I would be making that decision, having experienced life. The fetus is indifferent, and the mother is not. The fetus doesn't become more human just because one day it may live a human life.

Actually, this is the Discussion AND Debate forum, so if member wish to debate the OP, they are within that right.

But to the question, it reminded me of Kathy Troccoli's "A Baby's Prayer".

A fetus is human from conception. Perhaps you meant "morally viable" or some such?

No, I would not choose to go back.

Oh boy, here I go again.

Every time I do not rape a woman, I am condemning an innocent child to nonexistence. Is this wrong?

 

[marblehead]

you're only going to get the question mocked or dodged. Good luck though.

Have you stopped beating your wife?

It's a yes or no question, please don't mock or dodge it.

<looks around>

Hmm..it appears some of us neither mocked nor dodged the question but rather answered it directly.

I think it's a perfectly fair question.

What the author deduces from the given responses would be of interest to me, and might make for a good discussion.

Now that is flagrant fallacy in the most fatuous form.

 

[loveiseverywhere]

The abortion debate reminded me of It's A Wonderful Life because Jimmy Stewart got to see what life would have been like without him. The boy would have died had he not been working at the pharmacy.

 

[FadingWhispers3]

Yes. I would not want to burden my mother.

 

[Arnold_Philips]

lol

 

[RavenPoe]

I'm getting a bit comfy in my skin now, except for the bum right foot I've got for a little bit, so I would not choose to go back.

However this being the DISCUSSION AND DEBATE forum, you're gonna get a discussion. I do not believe in going back to the womb and being aborted, but I also don't believe in going back in time and undoing the mistakes I made in my youth. All these experiences are done and should not be undone.

 

[Adriac]

Now that is flagrant fallacy in the most fatuous form.

Ooh, alliteration. Well done.

Now do you want to have a try at telling me what the difference is? Cause nobody else has been able to do that.

fair enough, I retract, although I would say that you are in the minority...

oh... I was wondering when I'd see that old chestnut again.

Firstly, it isn't a question of the same vein as a what if question. It's a logical falicy, assumptive questioning. A what if assumes parameters, but not outcome. What if's have led to some of the more interesting discussions, and discoveries.

And besides, it's Moot. I'm not married.
