      You're being a pro-lifer again. Why do we need abortion rights?

      If both have to take responsibility for their sex lives, then there is no need for abortion and we have equality in repro rights

      I don't understand. Men & women can't take identical responsibility for all consequences of sex.

      Why not? True that women might have to go through an abortion. Compensation is that she has sole power to decide parenthood

      OK. We don't need to consider emotional/psychological costs at all then. Women are compensated.

      No, honestly, its fine. I can't argue for considering emotional/psychological costs & financial ones by excluding the former.

      So, excluding emotions, from a purely rational perspective do you agree with this? https://twitter.com/bristolben/status/792115993082466306 …

      Women can have abortions as easily as not so its all equal. Woman chooses so woman takes full responsibility. No problem.

      Equally, if money didn't exist, we could just consider the emotional costs & the financial ones wouldn't matter.

      I don't think we can discuss this rationally without emotions coz then there's no problem.

          Its easy for a man to say he'd abort in her shoes but he'll never have to prove he could make that choice & go through with it.

          Yes! That and the child's needs are what make the case so hard to solve. Without them, it's easy.

          As usual, you went straight to the crux of the problem. I just wanted to make sure we agreed on the foundations first.

          I'm sick of the conversation, Ben. I don't have a gendered agenda. I'm just arguing for some humanity in this abstract coldness.

          I know you don't have an agenda, Helen. Neither do I. I find your inquiry into this tricky subject totally honest.

          The reason we might disagree is because it's a really tough one. Take a break and take care. 😊

          I'd be surprised if we do on a personal level. And I think this is personal. Every case is different.

          Can't reduce everything to a formula. Sometimes you have to think how things affect people.

          what you just instantly agreed to? I'm not presuming the final outcome though. It's the additional factors that make this hard
