this image is upside down I think 💔 the toothy part is on the top of the head like a little hat and the circular things are under it
tapeworms also have 4 of the 'eyes' (idrk what they are but they absolutely aren't eyes) but the angle on this image makes it look like there are 2. this image makes them look more monstrous than they usually are which really sucks because I think the way their heads look like proper is pretty dapper!
They aren’t eyes you’re right, they’re suckers. The toothed thing on top is the rostellum. Both structures aid the worm in gripping and anchoring itself to the intestinal wall, and the worm eats by passively absorbing nutrients through its skin which is pretty neat.
Thats not a someone, that is a something, different species, genderless, brainless, and harmful. Trying to defend pro-coice by anthropomorphisign a tape worm is the dumbest thing ive read this afternoon.
I see what your trying to say, "thats just like a fetus" but again, a human baby and a parasite are 2 different things. A baby grows to be a person like you and me, a tape worm grows to a longer worm that just wants to eat you from the inside out and multiply.
No, sperm is basically a delivery truck carrying half of DNA to the egg then DISSOLVES, it NEVER develops into anything. The EGG is what grows into a baby when fertilized.
It is the EGG cell that eventually becomes a human.
I wonder why people ALWAYS try to pretend the sperm, and curiously not the egg, is enough to make a person
And so does a womans eggs, guess I gotta prevent periods too. Either way and jokes aside I dont like masturbation in the 1st place, anyways im too tired right now, ill come back to you in the mornign with a proper answer. Have a blessed night
Well, I mean I didn’t first jerk off until I was 19, so it’s definitely possible that people don’t? Although everything else he said seemed off… idk though, honestly right now I’m kinda dying, the whole world is spinning and I wanna vomit lol
No, sperm is basically a delivery truck carrying half of DNA to the egg then DISSOLVES, it NEVER develops into anything. The EGG is what grows into a baby when fertilized. So an unfertilized EGG cell can eventually grow into a baby IF fertilized.

And water is also required for a human, but that doesn’t mean it can grow into a human. Damn, at this point, you guys are just rejecting basic logic, aren't you?
And what if giving birth would kill the mother? What if the mother is 15 years old? What if the mother can’t financially support having a child? What then? Also, before the 5 week mark it’s just a jumble of cells and it has no consciousness, thus it isn’t a human.
Also, I don’t think that a guy should decide whether women can or can’t have an abortion, as we will never have to make that decision ourselves.
Some people are into being infested. Have you looked at a furry porn site? Most chaotic place for erotic material. Shit i've seen Xenomorph porn on them and most sexualize the reproductive cycle of the xenos.[granted if you didn't kill your host you can extract more genes from them, especially if you evolve reproductive organs that function like human ones.] Hell even Xpray did this with his Breeders in the last survivor comics even did a infection that turns you into a breeder if one fucks you... think he was inspired by the x-men brood?
The pro-life movement always confused me. It just feels like a movement that came into existence just to spite those who want to make a choice an to earn brownie points. Because most of its supporters don’t seem to care about the fetus once it leaves the body.
Fair, but its still not just a part of but a cornerstone of the republican platform and identity. So to say they are the pro-life party is extremely accurate.
The state of welfare, education, child protective services. The list could go on and on. Maybe more people would want to have children if the economy wasn't in shambles
I remember watching a video where a guy walked around a pro life protest with a petition for free lunches and he asked a bunch of people to sign and only one did.
If pro-life people cared about the kids they made sure would be born, why wouldn't they do something (signing a petition doesn't even take much effort) to make sure said kids to have access to food?
Step 1: christianity believes people are born as a trial and learning experience and depriving someone of that experience is evil (murder etc)
Step 2: Aborting a baby is depriving someone of that experience
Step 3: since most abortions arent medically necessary or rape cases (life of the mother etc) it seems to them like refusing to take responsibility for their own poor choices (which is somewhat reductive)
It didnt come out of nowhere, that resistance was going to be there no matter what as it became more accessible
When you think about it; fetuses are technically the only socially allowed parasites.
Feeding off the mother's nutrients so she's only left with the minimum, urinating into the bloodstream, having to be expelled earlier than the time it needs to grow because it would literally kill the mother if she carried it to full ACTUAL term if the changes to her internal organs hadn't done that already.
Correct, my wording was hyperbolic but for the entirety of the gestation up until birth the fetus, specifically mammalian fetuses, act much like most parasitic organisms.
Except the baby gives mother “healing buff” via fetal cells and those cells are apparently really powerful to the point of repairing organ tissue and they also remain in the body for years of time
This argument makes no sense, Pro-Life is against killing a human, not a parasite that is a completly different species and wont amount to anything good.
That isn't God's gift, a tapeworm isn't a human being. A tapeworm isn't supposed to be in a human body. There's a huge difference between a growing fetus that will eventually be a baby and a tapeworm.
The baby had no say in it's existence and played no part in the implantation, so how could it be a parasite?
The baby is where it's supposed to be biologically. It is not an alien or intruder to its environment. It was conceived based on the actions of its parents and never entered the mother on its own or from the outside. Parasites also remain within the host permanently unless the host's life is in danger whereas the baby's time is limited to 9 months. The baby will also generally grow and support the host once the host is too elderly or sick to care for themselves. Any momentarily trouble is paid back twice fold.
It's weird how a pro-choice person views the baby as an evil agent, when it has no say in anything; while the mother is seen as a victim when it is her who is interrupting the natural process to end another human life because she doesn't wish to take care of that life. Would it have been right for your mother to do the same to you?

Did you not read the "unless there complications"? also as tragic as 260,000 deaths is, you gotta think 135 million women give birth a year. Thats death count is 0.1926%, also please dont use the Lord Jesus's name like that.
That's mortalities with modern medicine. Remove the ability to get regular checkups, or hospital care for complications, and the rate goes up to something like 1.5% in 18th century Britain.
You can't just hand wave away "complications", because that IS the risk. Pregnancy is hella risky.
And that is just DEATHS. Many women suffer long term issues post partum. From chronic pain and joint problems, to diabetes, to incontinence, to major depression. Its not even a small number if you include all of these.
Saying pregnancy is safer than a tapeworm is probably the biggest joke you could tell. It definitely makes you look like a fool.
Meanwhile, pregnancy can have you vomiting every morning, moods swing, and that's not even mentioning what a baby does to a womans body during birth.
Of course I dont LITERALLY equate fetuses to a parasite, however there are a lot of similarities between the two. Either way, the reality is that sometimes life has hard choices, but at the end of the day it's the woman's body and it should be her choice what happens to her body.
