No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Hole is hole. If you don't want something going into or coming out of your hole, that's your right. No imaginary friend in the sky has a say in that
What if you are 1 week away from birth of a fetus that is fully developed and healthily. Do you think aborting a fully developed baby should be acceptable at that stage?
I am hard core pro choice but that example would be grotesque even to me. Obviously it is the most extreme example but I am sure if it was legal, someone would do it.
Point being your black and white statement is not well thought out.
An “abortion” at that gestational stage is induced labor.
That's not how medical procedures work. You don't get to go to the doctor and request whatever legal procedure you require on a whim. It's a decision made between a doctor and patient, without the government involved. AT ANY STAGE. That is the point.
Besides, do you really think someone is going to go through 8 months of pregnancy just to abort for funsies? That is "planned parenthood turns fetuses into chicken nuggets" level of delusion. You are really underestimating the physical toll taken on the body by pregnancy.
If someone got to 8 months, and they go to their doctor and discover the fetus is going to be born only to suffer and die in their arms, the government should have 0 say on how that medical decision is handled. Which is what late term abortions actually are.
Hole is hole. If you don't want it to come out, you have that right. At that point imo it's kinda on the hospital to decide to save the baby. The woman has until birth to decide whether or not she can handle that responsibility. If the hospital is told to terminate a viable baby so close to birth, it's down to the hospital to decide to go through with the termination or decide to deliver the baby themselves and accept the legal responsibility for that child. The mother has made her choice and that's that.
I’d say there is no good reason for it not to be legal, even if it’s disgusting. Someone who waits that long shouldn’t expect there to necessarily be a doctor willing to perform the procedure for them though.
I've been born to people who didn't really want kids. I admit this colours my perceptive n greatly but yes I'd never condemn a new life to not being wanted/going into the foster system. The damage that you do to someone by not having a good caregiver is immense and I dearly dearly wish I had been aborted. I think it's sad that so little of the debate centers around the needs of the child once it is born.
