Time for an abortion topic?

It has been tempting for a while considering the number of nuts I have had knocking on the door since the six counties finally allowed abortion to be legal up there.
But now a local mess is hitting the international news too.

So given the failure of the "social conservatives" in the US Presidentials does anyone want to try and make a case for governments not allowing abortion?

Think of the children.

What did I win?

I think abortion should be mandatory for the first three pregnancies.

Even if the person knowingly conceived the child, is over 20, and really, really wants to bring another life into the world?

In my opinion, abortions should only be considered if the child is going to have some deformity like Elaphantitis, or before the child's brain is developed enough to be considered alive.

And that's the crux of the matter. It is only your opinion. And the opposite is only the opinion of the person who supports abortion. The only real argument possible is not the question of whether it's murder, or of when life begins, but of whose opinion counts most. The basis of current law is that, argue all you want for the rights of the unborn child, there is only one person whose opinion really counts. That person is not you, and it is not me, and it isn't the doctor who provides the service or the minister who opposes it. The only opinion that counts is that of the mother carrying the child.

Agreed! If men are against abortion then they should consider castration or at least get fixed...

Masturbation is murder of the unconceived life. It should be prohibited.

Is nailing Jell'o to the wall productive ?

[Sailor Steve]

I find this thread highly offensive.


Mainly because I can't think of anything funny to say.

I believe it was some great writer 10 or so years ago in a public forum or speech. The gist was: it is inhumane to force animals to live in this universe. I have come to fully agree with this notion. But there is another way to sift the answer for this abortion issue - torpedoes! A kind of SH2, 3 , 4, and 5 way of finding the exalted answer to this issue. There were often women aboard those pretty little merchant ships. Some must have been fat with child (Or at least several weeks knocked up) - and how did the U-boat and American submarines deal with this difficult issue? Simple, they let the torpedoes sort it out. Let the torpedoes sort it all out.

Was that good enough Sailor Steve?
