Heres A Hypothetical: What if Women Laid Eggs?

I just want to know.
I'm curious to hear the arguments of a few on this board, whose arguments on abortion seem to be based soley on "womans right", "womans body", "womans choice" and "dependent on mother", etc.
If women, instead of carying babies to term in their bodies, laid fertalized eggs, where the embryo developed in its own support ... instead of feeding off of mommy, simply fed off of pre-generated nutrients in the egg itself.
Is "abortion" still acceptable on such grounds?
Is it now that the egg is "property" of the mother, and can be crushed at any point before hatching?
Assume traditional 1-3 trimester development inside the egg.
Go.

What bridges this gap of understanding of life (as we know, and are able to comprehend it) is a deep religious belief that is was all planned by god, and it's a big sin, so you are going to hell for it. Do I go to hell for holding a seed and not planting it then? Was it immoral for me to willingly (or mistakingly) throw it on a patch of dry cement instead of moist earth? hmm
I'm feeling another free will thread coming on...
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

FYI i'm not talking about COGNITIVE life.
I'm talking about LIFE LIFE. Just plain old LIFE.
And what i'm really talking about is positions which SUPPORT abortion.
Namely, if the baby is not IN the mother, is there still argument for abortion on constitutional grounds?

you did NOT just go there.
lol.

(something you would say)
but interesting idea nonetheless
and if this were the case we would be arguing about installing chips inside one of our girls to monitor her life to determine when she lays an egg and where..
and you would be supporting it just to fulfill your god given duty of controlling someone you think is inferior to you.
FYI.
I remain agnostic and spiritual.
I'm not sure where you keep pulling these preconceived notions about me -- your ass, probably.
The only person i think is inferior to me right now is you, and i'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt if you just STFU with the personal attacks.

aww god has feelings to
I have heard countless vegetarians in my life say that about abortion when I eat eggs. I just passed it along in this thread. I guess they may have a point?
As for which came first......I wonder if an egg has a "g" spot? :eek:
Okay, I have thought about this for a moment and wouldn't it be even easier for the mom to walk away from an egg then a little, itty-bitty baby that needs to be taken from inside of her. Remember those experiments in science class where you would hatch stolen eggs from chickens in an incubator. Now if a mom walked away from an egg would we have to have incubators for the "aborted" eggs. Science would benefit from this as we could watch human life come to fruition under the heat lamp. And the mother's health wouldn't be at risk like regular abortions. There wouldn't be a need for ultrasound as all you would have to do is hold the egg up to a bright light. Hell I'm not even stoned and this is beginning to be a fun topic.
Thanks for the honesty, FFG.
I just wanted to try and illustrate that the real crux of the mainstream argument is really more about womans body\womans choice than it is about anything REALLY concerning the "baby" itself.

Well, of course it is. So what?
you cheap bum...you stole this thread from another thread written earlier this morning at 9 o clock in all encompassing trip section
EXPOSED!

from what ive gathered... he is thrilled and quite proud of himself when he states obvious observations and common knowledge..
maybe he is a gorilla that works at the busch gardens exhibit and they are teaching this thing to use computers...if this is the case than im very impressed... youve come along way from rearranging scattered boxes to reach a banana that is hanging.
I couldn't keep an egg in my house, I have two dogs.
Why throw it away when you can crack that sucker open and some onions and peppers and make yourself a nice omelet. You know what now that I think about it this would be a great way to solve famine. Get pregnant, lay an egg, and then eat the egg.
But if they did lay hen-like eggs, then we probably wouldn't give a fuck, as they would then be laying them all the time, fertilized or not. The problem would cease to exist, because noone'd care very much. The incubator idea would then be horrible as that would overpopulate everywhere in notime.
Not to mention that the human species would probably develop very differently, so we wouldn't be here, or us at all.

Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all!
Abortion wouldn't exist but there would be laws concerning the egg. There would be religions worshipping the egg.
If a family decided they didn't want a child.. Birthing centers would most likely exist..more surrogate families would exist...more orphanages...
There would be social outcasts... Those that birthed weak eggs, those that had "accidents" with their eggs. There would be an entire separate court system governing the treatment of eggs.
The eggs would be edible... So naturaly there would be cultures and religions that had varying beliefs on human consumption of eggs.
Some parts of the world would have egg farms where women would donate their infertile eggs for a profit to feed the starving people.
The game show Survivor would be different. The women would have eggs to feed off of so then it would be harder to vote them off.
...that's the word on the street at least.

Eventually, the toxins in marking pens would be linked to birth defects, and signing eggshells is then deemed illegal until dupont eventually comes out with an "egg-safe" type of ink that is both permanent and does not seep through the shell.

Yes, I whipped out a sketch pad and spent a few hours writing down some ideas.
