You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!

Stranger: hey

You: howdy

You: How do you feel about abortion?

Stranger: good question, I guess

Stranger: why do you ask?

You: Because by asking, anyone who's here for sex leaves immediately.

Stranger: hehe!

Stranger: mh. where are you from? :)

You: USA

Stranger: uh. ok

You: I'm against abortion, BTW.

Stranger: and why?

You: homicide is wrong no matter how old the victim is

Stranger: yes, thats right. but... if the child has no chance for a good life and will suffer due to underfeeding or something like that... perhaps an abortion is the better way. a way to protect the baby...

You: Protect the baby by killing her? Would you EVER consider shooting a toddler just because he's in a poor family?

Stranger: no, I would not. but that's not what I'am talking about

You: It's the same child, just younger.

Stranger: and a life in pain is better than no life?

You: You have no way of knowing how her life will turn out.

You: Would you kill a newborn who MAY grow up hungry?

Stranger: what a question... of course not!

You: Well, what's the difference?

Stranger: but... argh... my english...

Stranger: I don't know the words for a difficult subject like this one =/

You: okay

You: well, she's the same baby; if she can't be killed after birth, she can't be killed after birth.

You: If she's poor, we need to help her, not murder her.

Stranger: do YOU help her?

Stranger: ... if yes - how?

You: Yes.

You: My taxed pay for numerous social programs

You: taxes*

You: medicare, medicaid, unemployment.

You: if i could vote, i would vote for more programs

Stranger: mh, do you know metro ministries?

You: no

Stranger: http://www.metroministries.com/

You: ill bookmark that thanks

Stranger: I think that's a good one. I "sponsor" a boy from new york. I hope I can help him somehow :)

You: anyway, why wouldn't you kill the same baby with the same future after she;s born?

Stranger: well. I guess because I can see her. After the birth it's... it's something other... I know, it sounds weird. But I don't know how to explain

Stranger: btw, how old are you?

You: [age]

You: no matter if you can see her she's the same person

You: plus, she can be seen through ultrasound and fetoscopy

Stranger: that's a serious subject for a person in your age. why are you that interested in it?

Stranger: are you a girl, I guess?

You: I'm interested in it because for 8 and a half months I was denied my basic human rights.

You: No, I'm a dude.

Stranger: ok.

Stranger: mh, what do you mean with "for 8 and a half months I was denied my basic human rights"?

You: From when I was conceived to when I was born, I was considered subhuman.

You: Ugh, gotta go
