2	Roe v. Wade Mega-Thread Look dude, you didn't provide a single example of the state making medical decisions for men. You're like Alannis Morisette singing about irony without any in the song. Parents choosing to circumsize their kids isn't the state making a medical decision. It's parents. Show me the currently standing state laws mandating that male children be circumcised (honestly or outlawing it) and the Supreme Court ruling that allows it. Really? Not having a gym membership paid for is state oppression for men? …	/r/PurplePillDebate	28/06/22 12:45 AM
2	Roe v. Wade Mega-Thread So an acorn is the same as an oak tree to you? A fetus is a potential life. A woman is a life that is already here. Abortion does not take a human life, it takes a potential life. Abortion is medical care. People either deserve medical care and it should be private between them and their doctors, or they don't. All your whining about men have it so much harder I won't even respond to - I have a job, and common sense, and a medical history of being ignored and denied treatment for a chronic, syst…	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/06/22 07:40 PM
1	Roe v. Wade Mega-Thread Men have vastly more bodily autonomy than women when it comes to reproductive rights. I myself am not for circumsizing boys (I didn't mine). But it is a topic that had medical reasoning behind it initially (reducing infections) and a lot of progress has been made in reducing the rate of circumcisions as better medical information is learned (the difference isn't that big). It is also parental discretion, not decreed by the state. This is happening to boys, not men, and the argument that it's ok …	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/06/22 06:32 PM
1	Roe v. Wade Mega-Thread It honestly doesn't matter. First, because nobody has a right to use another person's organs. But since we now live in a world without bodily autonomy for women, I will spell out what those clauses mean in practice. Doctors, under fear of going to jail, will wait until there is no gray area where they could be accused of aborting a fetus before they will help a wan on medical distress. They will let a woman get septic and take her to death's door to before 'saving' her to prove they had to inter…	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/06/22 05:05 PM
0	Roe v. Wade Mega-Thread lol yes you are arguing in bad faith. You betray yourself by saying pregnancy is a consequence for sex. With that argument, any man who gets an STD deserves no treatment. It's a consequence of sex. Any man who doesn't work out and has a heart attack should have no treatment. It's a consequence of their actions. You just think no it's great women die or are sentenced to pregnancy and motherhood because it happens to women. You know there is no equivalence between the state leaving something up to…	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/06/22 04:57 PM
1	Roe v. Wade Mega-Thread I asked for situations where the state makes medical decisions for men the way it's making abortion decisions for women. This is not one. Parents make the decision about circumcision and have a choice. An option is not the same as no option and pretending it is is arguing in bad faith, which you are doing. Also: yes, circumcision can be and is done on girls - it's typically far more horrific and life altering than that done on boys. It's so damaging, we now call it female genital mutilation. Abo…	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/06/22 11:43 AM
–	Roe v. Wade Mega-Thread Circumcision? I am not a fan. But the state hasn't dictated that men be circumcised - if they had, my son would be (he's not, because I wanted it to be his choice). It's up to parents (and rates have dropped nearly 40% in my lifetime). That's not even remotely the same (in who is deciding or ramification) as the state saying women must give a fetus use of their organs and body all the way up to and including it causing their death.	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/06/22 04:55 AM
–	Roe v. Wade Mega-Thread And what options do they have if they die from complications of an unwanted pregnancy? What if they are permanently maimed by the pregnancy? Fired for being pregnant? Disowned and kicked out of housing? Killed by a domestic partner for getting pregnant? Are diagnosed with aggressive cancer at week 16? Find out at the 20 week anatomy scan that the fetus is incompatible with life? Tell me what man has any medical decision decided by the state? Women absolutely have less rights than men now and say…	/r/PurplePillDebate	27/06/22 02:20 AM
