They are not mothers. They are pregnant woman.
Note how they don’t get a tax deduction for the fetus, they don’t get a passport for the fetus, they don’t get to drive in the HOV lane, they don’t get moth’s day cards.
I became a mother when I gave birth.
I am not the “mother” of the several miscarriages (spontaneous abortions) that i had.
are referred to us, we do not go out looking for them. Until they contact us we do not know of their existence. We talk to them, tell them what services we can offer to them and their new born (or very young). They are free to take our offer. If they do not then we part company and will most probably never see each other again.
I (we) cannot see the flaw you can. Perhaps you could point out to us poor, benighted people the flaw to which you refer?
Yeah. The flaw where you all do pitiful, 1:1 efforts as pity-filled charity to “help,” but you launch system wide legislative actions to harm.
That’s your flaw.
If you REALLY cared about reducing abortion (more than punishing sex) you would mobilize massively toward legislation to help these women even if they want nothng to do with you personally.
The pro-“life” team has had CENTURIES to promote and enact social welfare to make childbirth and childrearing more affordable, less dangerous and less fraught.
And that team has made a decision to do nothing meaningful in all that time. Indeed, they have usually FOUGHT against the pro-choicers who are trying to pass laws for free food, childcare and medical care, claiming, “charity should be voluntary!” …in a case of the most cruel hypocrisy ever.
Oh dear more technical speak. It takes two to tango, a mother and father. After fertilization, ONLY then there's developement of a human being! Your lonesome sperm has NO signicance, just like loosing the hairs from your head that even has human dna in it.
As has been pointed out, I hope you will acknowledge and understand that
the sperm cannot develop on its own - it needs an egg.
And the product of that fertilization ALSO cannot develop on its own, it needs a uterus to implant in.
And the implanted embryo ALSO cannot develop on its own, it needs the organs of the woman, plus all the food she eats.
That is your flaw. You chose - quite arbitrarily - that as soon as the only thing you need to discard is the woman, then MAGIC! It’s okay to discard whatever the potential being still needs and call it it’s own entity with no care for the rights of what it needs.
Back when the man was needed as well as a woman - the potential being had no riight to his actions.
But by magic, once the only thing the potential being needs is a womann - IT CAN HAVE HER!
It’s arbitrary to say that on this potential life continuum, you wish to choose its agency at whatever is the point when the men have no more responsibility. It’s arbitrary and cruel.
