Way to cherry pick one thing from the long list of exceptions op listed.
You’re simply wrong here.
Requiring military service is not the same thing as removing your right to bodily autonomy. Also stop pretending everyone drafted or registering for selective service goes into combat…
Imagine thinking driving a jeep is the same as carrying a rapists baby.
Ask the graveyards full of conscripts killed in wars if what happened to them is worse than carrying an unwanted baby. Oh wait, you can’t. Because they are dead.
Were you drafted? If so what was your MOS? Where did you serve? This men’s rights whataboutism would’ve gotten you laughed out of my Corps.
Stolen valor by Munchausen proxy is what this shit is. JFC
My grandfather got his citizenship from serving in Korea and went back to 'nam.
Joined up with his drafted son for a full fucking tour.
Saw a lot of bullshit. Hated the fuckin draft because it was leveraged by the wealthy and the Military Industrial Complex to feed a war machine in a needless and unpopular war.
He’d have frog marched you out of the bar he heard this rape equivalency bullshit in and if you wouldn’t stop he’d have probably laid you out on the deck like a rug.
I fucking hope you take this rhetoric to a veterans group and see how seriously they take you.
Hell no I wasn’t in the military. My dad made it very clear that there was no honor in service anymore and I would just be a tool exploited by the military industrial complex. My uncle burned his purple heart in front of the Capitol and he was right to do it. All this anecdotal shit is irrelevant to the point. You’re attacking me because you can’t attack the point.
My point stands. I made that clear with all of the refutations of your argument in my original post. You cherry picked one instance and responded with dead soldier rhetoric.
You’re speaking on two topics you do not have expertise on, and keep doubling down. I don’t know if it’s hurt ego or if you genuinely believe the false equivalency of “there once was a draft” and a woman’s right to body autonomy.
Take the L and move on. Or keep arguing. I got all day.
Don’t get confused. I’m in favor of a woman’s right to bodily autonomy. I just take umbrage on people shitting on the sacrifice made by soldiers who were drafted to make a false comparison about gender rights.
In regards to our relative expertise, how many abortions have you had and when were you drafted?
I love what this man is saying except for this part. It drives me crazy every time I’ve heard it. Has nobody heard of the fucking draft? I would say forcing someone to go die in a war is the ultimate legislating of a person’s body.
That’s you comparing the two. It’s a false equivalency. It’s also ignorant.
Hell no I wasn’t in the military.
That’s also you, not knowing what the fuck you’re talking about.
I just take umbrage on people shitting on the sacrifice made by soldiers who were drafted to make a false comparison about gender rights.
That’s you again taking umbrage with people who conflate abortion rights and the draft. Do you remember that first quote I posted? Here in case you forgot you also said the below.
The right here is literally called bodily autonomy…
I’m not shitting on the sacrifice of dead conscripts. I’m shitting on your dated men’s rights talking point. I guess you don’t really have the self awareness to understand just how much of a dickhead you sound like when you conflate the two. Nor do you understand how triggering or offensive your comparisons are.
Let me get the big crayons out for you.
Female bodied people, who were born with ovaries have been oppressed by patriarchal power structures since there have been power structures. Laws have been written to their disadvantage to keep them disenfranchised in society at large for a very very long time.
Conscriptions have happened for as long as there has been war. However, the conscription would have only affected the able bodied men, who reside within the borders of the belligerents involved in said war. The draft, America’s conscription program, has not been necessary for most; if not all of your life. Unless you’re 80 years old. Are you over 80 years old? You might be as your argument tracks with that generation of American men.
Let’s limit the scope of my argument to something you just might be able to comprehend. Let’s look at the history of the United States. There have been roughly combined 40 years of war in which a male bodied citizen would have been drafted in the roughly two and a half centuries it has existed. However marital rape wasn’t outlawed in all states until roughly it’s 200th year.
Do you get it? Abortion and the draft are two very different concepts in American History. If you want to do deaths, more women have died in child birth than there have been soldiers. Women’s body autonomy is again imperiled in the United States. There hasn’t been a draft in over 40 years. The two cannot be compared. They are NOT equivalent. Not even close.
In regards to our relative expertise, how many abortions have you had and when were you drafted?
I’m a third generation Marine. I am telling you that you are wrong. I have been an EMT. I have stabilized two women for ectopic pregnancies and one teenage girl who didn’t have access to medical intervention for an unwanted pregnancy. She took matters into her own hands. It took 3 units of blood to stabilize her on the way to the hospital. That is a lot of blood loss.
You need to understand, you’re wrong. Suggestions that the draft and abortion are equivalent is wrong. It’s not a zero sum game. Two things can be bad. Abortion rights and the plight of women and trans and intersex people in this country don’t lessen the tragedy of drafted soldiers who didn’t want to die for this country. Those women who died without legal and safe abortions didn’t do so happily.
Suggesting that they are the same is absolutely wrong. They are not the same full stop. You are an ignorant contrarian little cunt for suggesting it. I will spend hours refuting your argument and point it out each time you say it.
You are the one shitting on a soldier’s sacrifice when you compare his death to theirs. He was empowered to go AWOL or get a deferment, or transfer to a non combat role. How do you suggest that someone could escape an unwanted pregnancy?
Shame on you. If you’d like to educate yourself you might be interested in the resources below.

It’s pretty obvious you never served. Go to the VFW and spout this bullshit and see how far it gets you.
It’s pretty obvious you weren’t drafted. You don’t understand that the choice you had was taken away from others.
Were you drafted? If so what was your MOS? Where did you serve? This men’s rights whataboutism would’ve gotten you laughed out of my Corps.
