So I've recently spent some time looking I to this,formally being pro choice I have recently changed my views - here's why...

I really don't see the difference between aborting a "unborn baby" be it at 2 weeks or 38 weeks is any different to taking the life of a "new borb baby" - where people have been convicted of killing babies they are held up as monsters in our society. Where the baby happens to be living at the time, ie in the womb or in a house doesn't change things for me? I'd like to hear why it changes everything for some? Which takes me onto my next pount...

People say, but the unborn child wouldn't survive on its own. Okay well a new born baby would not survive without constant attention outside the womb. If your view is that "something being helpless makes it okay to be killed" that it die would for anyway if left to itself. What is wrong with my view that something being weak and helpless means we should protect it, both in terms of law and literally?

Also people bring up women who are pregnant as a result of a sexual attack case example too, yes this is a terrible situation. The woman is a victim of a terrible crime and as a society we need to support her fully. But if as a result of that crime a innocent child has been produced, then aborting the child does not undo the crime or "put things right". In the example here the woman has been a victim, but why make another victim and end the life of a unborn child. People would say but the pregnancy will be terrible for the woman, I agree, but does it justify murder? I decided no.

Where there are health concerns for the mother brought about by the pregnancy, the doctors always prioritise the mother and save the mother first, that happens now and I agree with this.

If you have sex, an act known to create life - it does not give you the right to end that life if you choose to, for whatever reason.

I'd invite a debate with any points I've made above, but would ask that we all be respectful to each other.

Really?

So lets just examine the alternative to what you call murder and its subsequent alternatives.

So a r@ped woman should be forced to carry the result of that r@pe to term and then give birth to the issue. Therefore you are claiming that if a fetus is the product of a r@pe then the r@pe victim should be forced to endure the result for 9 months and then go through labour just so some pro life fucktard can feel good! Then of course after the birth what happens to the child? Are you going to force the mother to keep it? What do you think the life of a child conceived in r@pe and forced on the mother would be like? Do you think it maybe subject to abuse as its mere existence would force the r@:e victim to live and relive her ordeal every day of her life? Or are you going to allow the mother to reject the baby and leave a child to grow up knowing it was never wanted and was the result of r@pe? Or are you going to refuse to leave the child know its heritage? And if you decide to do that are you going to change the law and make all adopted children's heritage secret? Do you remember how cruel children are? Would you like to reconsider at least that part of your post?

It's not "YOUR" choice though.

And the law supports the woman's choice to terminate.

I see your point and I understand what you are saying.

I would say that yes it would be terrible for the victim who had been impregnated by the sexual attack, that us wrong and is a crime, is be happy to see the attacker in prison for the rest of his life, also when sentencing the criminal the fact that the victim will have to go through the pregnancy should be took into consideration. But the unborn child has done no wrong? Why do they deserve a chance to life any less that the unborn child in the womb of for example a married catholic couple? We would need to put a support structure in place for during and after the pregnancy. In the UK we have a long waiting list of wannabe parents all waiting for children to adopt. I don't really know the rules/laws as to the details after, and what I would say on the birth certificate- but I'm sure it won't justify the unborn baby being killed

Sorry I don't follow your point can you expand, and what do you mean by ' it's not "your" choice'.

Many in the pro life camp see only the unborn being murdered and that is the whole issue to them. The fact is if they can find enough vocal support than the law may well be changed. It is better to point out what a change in the law will actually mean for those effected by that change rather than just attacking the pro life lobby. I chose the r@pe paragraph because there the issue is clearer than in other cases.

Although I could have just pointed out that it is easy for a man to make pronouncements on things that will never directly effect him because he is not a woman.

With all due respect NO you don't!

If a woman really wants to terminate a pregnancy they will! If there is no other alternative they will use a coat-hanger or knitting needle. You would return us to a time of back street abortionists and women being criminalised for refusing to carry to term the results of r@pe. You really do need to reevaluate and reset your moral compass.

How do you not see it as murder though?

I know that sounds like a trap, but it was this question that made me change my views before.

I also do think that men are entitled to have views on this.

Fair question.

How can it be murder if the embryo is not capable of independent life? Now I can understand and sympathise with the ethical dilemmas caused when determining at what point an embryo becomes capable of independent survival and medical technology advances continue to reduce the time between conception and ability to survive outside the womb in fact it may be possible to grow a human in vitro to term now. But would you consider that to be ethical? Most pro lifers would have a fit if it was proposed that as soon as a r@pe victim was found to be pregnant the embryo was removed and grown in a lab.

As I said you really need a seriously moral/ethical rethink because things are not black and white.

Why?

You're profile says you are 45 years old, potentially postmenopausal, you can't get pregnant either. So are your views invalid too?

I'm not against terminating pregnancies it's the fact the unborn child has to die in the process, if there was a way of the babies being grown in a lab as previously mentioned then great

Good question. Is it? I think you need to learn a little human biology. Maybe if you do a little reading you will gain some perspective and not be asking questions you should have found the answers to before you decided to join a camp that seek to control other peoples ability to control their own bodies. You may also want to do a little reading into what life was really like for women before the 1967 abortion act

Since you're so concerned about rights, how about the ultimate right - the right to life.

I said potentially. I notice won't put up a counter argument, and have chosen just to state I don't know what I'm on about. Well let's bear where I've gone wrong?

I asked you how you justify it's not murder and you said it wasn't capable of independent life. To which i said "how about a one week old baby?"

So I was expecting you go justify how that your criteria to life was "to be capable of independent life" would not apply to a one week old which would die if left to be independent?

Instead you just told me that you're so obviously right and I'm so o viously wrong that you're not even going to explain why.

You brought up the independent point not me, I just asked you to clarify

Maybe it changes things for those people who are women or have empathy for women?

The difference between a womb and a house is that a womb is inside a person. A person who may, for a wide variety of reasons, really not want to grow a baby inside them for 9 months. Forcing women to do so against their will is bad for them, bad for the child, bad for society.

Also, a foetus is not a baby. It just isn't.

The fact you are arguing this point and not anything in my original post is just a waste of everyone's time.

I've laid my entire argument out, you could address any point but instead you just say you "don't think I know much about women". How does that add to this debate?

But maybe we just got off on the wrong foot. Can you answer this question.

1, I support the ending of an (established pregnancy) life in the womb because...

2, I dont support the killing of a 1 day old baby because...

3, I feel differently about question 1 and 2 because....

A termination is only legal if continuing with the pregnancy will be harmful to the baby or the mother's mental or physical health

Let me lay this out for you one last time.....the abortion laws were passed for good reasons....

I care more about womens rights than some religious zealots thoughts.

I know women CAN be postmenopausal Fact.

It doesn't show lack of knowledge, a quick Google will show that all references to the menopause say it starts at 45-55. So when I said you potentially have started then I was correct. As you within the age range - now thats a fact.

I'd love you to contribute to the debate but just adding noise doesn't help anyone.

All your questions can be answered by the facts that a) fetuses aren't people and b) women *are* people and get to decide what they do with their own bodies.

Do me a favour before any comments on this menopause point again, Google it. Read what the top 10 results on Google say is the age range. Because each one says it starts at 45-55, so when I said a 45 year old could have "potentially" have started I was 100% correct - no debate.

Let's move on

Speaks volumes that the only poimt people chose to attack was that I said the menopause can start at 45 years old. This is backed up by every medical establishment going - and if anyone actually bothered yo check rather than saying "you obvously dont know anything about women"

Google it, it's so easy to see you're all wrong. Funny really.

Love how when people don't have the intelligence to debate a grown up topic they drag it down to their level.

Think they've won the debate because all the intelligent people involved get bored and leave.

Funny thing is not one of you will bother to check if you're actually wrong, in your little world you're right and that's all that matters. Doesn't matter that every medical establishment agrees with me, top result on Google the NHS

"The menopause is a natural part of ageing that usually occurs between 45 and 55 years of age, as a woman's oestrogen levels decline."

"Speaks volumes that the only poimt people chose to attack was that I said the menopause can start at 45 years old. This is backed up by every medical establishment going - and if anyone actually bothered yo check rather than saying "you obvously dont know anything about women"

Google it, it's so easy to see you're all wrong. Funny really.

"

Nothing funnier than your posts, I haven't laughed so much in ages! Face it, you totally discredited yourself telling me my eggs had dried up! Maybe you should stick to facts and not make assumptions, then we could take you seriously

Can you tell me the meaning of the word "potentially"???

Honestly tell we what potentially means? As once you realise what it means you will realise how silly you have been.

I'll wait here for your response

A post to support all the unborn babies due to be killed today.

Most of which are currently a soup of DNA and disconnected cells.

How about we worry about those children starving to death, or women forced to marry their rapist so he can avoid jail, or abused children in homes that can't love or care for them.

We don't live in a perfect world, answers are often dependant on individual circumstances. Abortion is not a great option, but sometimes it's the best one.

And in the case of some with euthanasia would be kind and humane.

"

you can't get pregnant either. So are your views invalid too?"

Where is "potentially"?

Even if I had had my menopause, I've still experienced childbirth which you never will, and have a better understanding of what a woman puts her body through for a termination which you never will, so yeah my view still be more valid than yours

You want to take a woman's right to decide what she does with her body away from her. It won't happen. She'll just go to a backstreet abortionist, get infected, die and won't be home to put your supper on when you come back from the pub

Consider again my opinions on rights when you consider that more than half the babies being killed in the womb are female (more in some cultures who abort girls to try again for boys) Surely the right to life over rides all other rights.

By that logic everyone should be compelled to give one of their spare kidneys to save lives. Everyone should be forced to give blood regularly, or bone marrow when required.

But we don't violate peoples' bodies against their wills to save lives. Same with unwanted pregnancy. Except that foetuses are not people, so it's even less of an issue.

No it doesn't, if in order for something to survive you had to put your body through severe chemical changes for a year or more and you had good reason not to want to keep the DNA soup alive in the first place. Does it's rights over rule your rights?

The argument is when does a sperm and egg become a child and not a DNA soup. Technically in this age of cloning the same a a drop of blood containing more than one stem cell.

granted you are but it appears to be based on sheer ignorance of the fact that it is the woman's right to choose based on many aspects that you and i as males know little..

Just wanted to put it out there.

Thought it might create a healthy debate like I had in my head over the last few month.

All I've been told is I don't have a right to talk about this as I'm not a woman, and that somehow I'm some right wing conservative who thinks women should be seen and not heard. All this as I dared to voice my opinion that id rather unborn babies were not killed.

Makes me a real bad monster

1 ) Did I say I supported it? No, I said the legal option needs to be in place so it can be done safely

2) Totally different matter, a foetus is a foetus not a 1 day old baby, but you wouldn't know this as you have a very limited knowledge of biology, as demonstrated earlier

I do not need to consider your opinions again, and here is why:

An embryo or fetus in the womb IS NOT A BABY!

Babies are BORN human beings embryos no matter how advanced are not. That is a fact.

Fact wins against opinion every time!

So stick your opinion where the sun don't shine because it is worth about the same as the crap you pass every time you have a shit.

If you use the term "human being" instead of

embryo,

featus,

baby,

child,

teenager,

adult,

pensioner it makes it harder to draw the line as to when it is accept me to decide when to end the life by choice.

I agree a embryo is not a baby, but that means nothing, these are terms we have applied from our language.

A human life in the womb should be worth as much as one outside the womb in my opinion

you can talk as much as you like but its still a woman's right in law to make that decision, using the language you have is crass and i believe deliberately so..

as you seem to be ducking the question about where your opinions are coming from that will only serve for people to take into consideration your language, lack of knowledge of the issue and to conclude you have not looked into the issue objectively..

similar to the religious radicals who target women in the street..

"It's not "YOUR" choice though.

And the law supports the woman's choice to terminate.

Sorry I don't follow your point can you expand, and what do you mean by ' it's not "your" choice'.

I'm not bring funny I just don't understand so I can't reply

Again it's not your decision to make.

Just because you have thought long and hard about what decision you have decided to make does not mean I and many others have to agree with it.

Scream shout and protest all you like but the decision comes down to the individual woman.

What do you find hard to grasp?

I'm not unsure on what the current situation is, I'm putting forward an alternative view.

granted you are but it appears to be based on sheer ignorance of the fact that it is the woman's right to choose based on many aspects that you and i as males know little..

granted one can have empathy with people in desperate and difficult circumstance's whilst being biologically incapable of being in that situation..

that however would be based on whether one is capable of empathy..

what has led you to your reasoning behind your opinions if i may ask?

Sure, I just think a society should be judged on how it treats the weakest in that society. Be it helping disabled people, helping people to poor to eat having to use food banks or be it unborn babies who have not asked to be conceived in that womb but since they are there I think they deserve a chance of life.

It's not a black and white debate and there are holes in my opinion hence why I wanted to test my opinion under fire.

I honestly don't think just because I'm a man I shouldn't be able to talk about it.

you can talk as much as you like but its still a woman's right in law to make that decision, using the language you have is crass and i believe deliberately so..

as you seem to be ducking the question about where your opinions are coming from that will only serve for people to take into consideration your language, lack of knowledge of the issue and to conclude you have not looked into the issue objectively..

similar to the religious radicals who target women in the street.. "

I know it's the law, I've said that many times. I understand that. What I have put forward is my view.

You mention my "lack of knowledge" what do you mean? What am i missing?

A human being is created at conception and dies (hopefully) in old age. People keep saying "an embryo is not a baby FACT" means nothing. Those are words in language we use to describe a human at different stages of it's life cycle. It's like saying a tadpoles is not a frog, fact - okay so what's your point?

I'm no expert, I've said all along I've only recently changed my views. In fact, I'm pretty sure I'm spelling embryo wrong every time I say it but hopefully no one will notice.

I thought I looked into it but it's why I want to discuss it on here to see what gaps there are in my argument.

What we call something doesn't change anything.

I can understand why people would call it a featus or a group of cells when having an abortion as it distances the reality.

As a hypothetical discussion point... I a stem cell transplant due to cancer.

So basically poisoned all my stem cells, and replaced them with someone else's.

Was the killing of my stem cells murder?

Am I in fact now 2 human beings in one body?

Obviously not in my opinion, but I am curious how you reconcile this with your views.

This idea you have that calling it a foetus is some kind of meaningless distinction is nonsense. It's a scientific term used to describe a different type of thing to a baby.

A human being in my view is conceived in the womb and from that moment has human rights.

Since cloning has been done on complex animals. The science of embryos has been known quite well. There is a huge number of natural failures where fertilised eggs don't develop into grown animals.

What I am aiming at is that there is a time after fertilisation where an egg is not a human. After that we can debate when that occurs.

You have apparently accepted that while the sperm is on the outside of the egg that is not a human, but if I am reading you correctly it is human once the sperm has entered the egg... which is a time line in itself.

Youre free to have a view that conception is the point were you define a group of cells as a person.In this country its 24 weeks.I agree with this view.If its viable outside the womb it has rights.The women carrying also has rights.These rights you feel should be taken away.

If the OP's further research accepts there is a timeline, then perhaps his perception could stretch to accepting there is a point where a woman's rights exceed those of an egg.

I used to be fairly ambivalent on the issue. The people who are against abortion in reality put there argument on the basis it is a breach of God's law. I did not think much about this until a colleague's sister had a miscarriage. I looked into the issue and I will let Wikimedia speak.

'Miscarriage is the most common complication of early pregnancy.[16] Among women who know they are pregnant, the miscarriage rate is roughly 10% to 20% while rates among all fertilisation is around 30% to 50%.[1][5] In those under the age of 35 the risk is about 10% while it is about 45% in those over the age of 40.[1] Risk begins to increase around the age of 30.[5] About 5% of women have two miscarriages in a row.[17] Some recommend not using the term "abortion" in discussions with those experiencing a miscarriage in an effort to decrease distress.[18]'

You can draw your own conclusions as to where the hypocrisy lies and whether supernatural or human agency kills more unborn.

I think there is a good argument for reducing the current abortion time limits, but to remove all options of abortion is not fair to pregnant women and as others have said a ban would result in back street abortions .

Victims of r@pe; not allowing them an abortion is abhorrent in my opinion, a traumatic experience that I cannot begin to comprehend followed by a forced pregnancy is beyond cruel, not to mention the trauma to the child growing up knowing they were fathered by a r@pist!

What about women that don't have the mental or physical capacity to look after a baby, my cousin went through an abortion for this reason many years ago, sadly this could have been avoided had her overtly religious mother supported her in seeking contraceptive advice.

People that are pro choice would be far better placed putting their effort into trying to reduce the need for abortion than stopping abortion itself.

Interesting post. It would be much more fun in the Ireland forum where abortion debate is a hot topic and a referendum is on the way.

Personally I'm on the fence and have some questions. I'm not religious but I support following nature as best as possible.

If the woman's mental wellbeing is at risk because of a variety of reasons why she may not want to be pregnant could the same reasons be extrapolated to support murdering a newly born (in cases of post natal depression or other "various" reasons)?

When did an unnatural process become a "right"? I don't see it in the same category as life, food, shelter, safety etc. etc.

At what point do the rights of a current human supercede the rights of a human in the making?

Is the right to life more important than the "right" to avoidance of inconvenient circumstances?

All that said I'd probably opt for it if I got the wrong girl pregnant but also all that been said I've been fucking for 15 years and used contraception (including the morning after pill twice as a precaution) successfully.

I agree to abortion in medical or r*pe cases.

Oh dear.

My life. My body. My choice. If i am unlucky enough to get pregnant I will be having an abortion. I find the idea of pregnancy repulsive and it makes my skin crawl so i doubt i could leave it very long but i would like to be able to leave it as long as possible, possibly that'ssome kivd of masochism.

I have no issues with late term abortion, up to birth, but then i see babies as unpleasant parasites so i would feel that way.

But lets take this away from my abnormal phobias. When did life become so 'sacred'? Why are are the lives few hundred tbousand aborted babies, some of who wouldn't make it anyway, so much mors important than other lives that are lost across the world? I don't consider the theoretical life of an unwanted child to be more important than the people who have actual lives already that needlessly die every day acrosz the planet.

Thank you for that post. It will probably cause you much pain as people judge you harshly but please know that I for one fully support and applaud your honesty and openness. Of course every pregnancy is a battle between the host (mother) and the foreign body (fetus) in fact morning sickness is the symptom of the bodies immune system attempting to reject the embryo and the embryo fighting to take control of it's hosts body just like any virus or bacterial infection. But that's about biology and this is about ethics.

To our Irish friend I would say come down off the fence on the side of abortion. Your well over half way there already, you recognise that there are times when it is vital that the option is available. Now all you need to do is look at your own recent history and recognise how many women and children s lives were ruined by the Magdalene homes, laundries and schools (by the way my auntie Josie was a Sister of Mercy teacher in the Magdalene school in Limerick) and weigh that and the harm caused by back street abortions against the possible harm that allowing legal abortions will cause to arrive at a decision.

I for one would say that forgetting the right of a woman to choose there is an overwhelming argument for the legalisation of abortion regardless of ethical issues.

A baby is not the same as a foetus, so no.


"When did an unnatural process become a "right"? I don't see it in the same category as life, food, shelter, safety etc. etc. "

Lots of things are 'unnatural'. All medical procedures can be considered unnatural, of which abortion is just another one. Something being natural or unnatural has no value associated to it. Natural does not automatically = good. That's just hippyish nonsense.


"At what point do the rights of a current human supercede the rights of a human in the making?"

When the human in the making is considered to be a human. As I outlined above, we treat things according to what they are, not what what they have the potential to be.


"Is the right to life more important than the "right" to avoidance of inconvenient circumstances?"

It's not just an 'inconvenient circumstance' to have a baby when you don't want one. It's having your body and your whole life changed. It can mean being tied to an abusive partner for life. It can mean being plunged into poverty. Or, it could just mean being a mother when you really don't want to be, and a child growing up unwanted and unloved.

And as I also outlined above, the 'right to life' does not trump bodily autonomy in other cases. We do not force people to donate blood or kidneys.


" All that said I'd probably opt for it if I got the wrong girl pregnant "

Of course you would. You really don't see any problem with wanting abortion to be available whilst arguing that maybe it shouldn't be?

I'm just asking stimulating questions stove. You pose your answers as facts when they are just your opinion.

Willwill... I always bring things back to the present day. Abhorrent acts in the past are always used as a crutch argument on issues like these.

I'll flip what stove is saying... If you cant show consideration for the potential of something in the future then why be so concerned about events that have been and gone.

Side note - the future carries more weight, it can be influenced whereas the past cannot.

We don't have magdelane laundries in 2017 so it's a moot point.

That's your response? 'oh yeah, well that's just your opinion'?

Great. So stimulating.

It's not just an 'inconvenient circumstance' to have a baby when you don't want one. It's having your body and your whole life changed. It can mean being tied to an abusive partner for life. It can mean being plunged into poverty. Or, it could just mean being a mother when you really don't want to be, and a child growing up unwanted and unloved.

You are forgetting the option of adoption.

Adoption is a great option if the mother feels able to go with it.

But you don't get to force women to do that.

And if we're going to ask stupid questions, if you did a poll of people who would have been born if their parents hadnt used contraception, how many of them would think condoms are great?

It's a fair question but I feel that philosophically there is a difference between an embryo and a sperm that has yet to meet an egg whether it's in a condom or on a wank tissue... It lacks the could've beenness of it all

Oh, the 'could've beenness of it all'. Well, that's very clear and sciencey, for sure. Definitely a strong basis on which to force women to be pregnant against their will.

How about the babies that would go into the care system . There are always unwanted babies.

superflash I get what you are saying but if you do not learn from history and change you repeat it.

That is the real lesson of history.

The question is are you willing to learn from the mistakes of your forebears or are you determined to repeat them?

It's as sensible as your condom argument.

Most people would just ignore posts they don't know the answer too and let them get lost in the thread but I thanked you got raising an area I hadn't thought of.

Sad these forums always turn I to petty point scoring rather than a healthy debate.

Awesome - he's back!

Dude, you can do all the stem cell research you want, but you still won't have the first clue what a woman goes through physically and mentally taking the decision to teminate a pregnancy"

As if you're still on this thread reading it, your only point us that men shouldn't have an opinion. You've repeated it in about 30 different ways so far - reply to this and make it 31 I'm looking forward to it.

No, it's not as sensible. The condom argument is logical. Condoms prevent births. Abortions prevent births. Why is one OK and not the other?

Your answer, and I quote: 'the could've beenness of it all'

That's so vague as to be meaningless.

" People keep saying "an embryo is not a baby FACT" means nothing. Those are words in language we use to describe a human at different stages of it's life cycle. It's like saying a tadpoles is not a frog, fact - okay so what's your point?

The point is that you treat an entity according to what it is, not what it might become. "

This is fundamentally your whole argument. Which you keep repeating as if we are not understanding it!

What you mean is, "in my opinion you should treat an entity according to what it is now, not what it might become".

Because you think it, it is not a fact. It is as valid an opinion as everyone else on here.

"Incidentally, 'oh yeah thats just your opinion' is a really good way to show that you don't have any actual arguments left to make. "

No... It's just shutting down your fraudulent use of "facts". Plenty of arguments to come

You are deliberately ignoring that condoms prevent impregnation and abortion prevents giving birth.

1. You said it's a fact that a woman has the right to control her own body. That's wrong in cases of self harm and euthanasia for example.

2. As follow said on your opinion about living entities

Your wording is funny too (reading back). "Forcing" people to be pregnant. I've a mental image of some sort of article insemination while sleeping.

If I was a woman with such a phobia of pregnancy I'd be on the pill, use condoms, not allow cumming inside me even with the condom and then as a fallback there's the morning after pill.

There's also abstainance and cycle timing.

You know you are in a very grey area, we have different words for the same thing in and out of the womb, it's a fact that the WORDS are different - but is a very premature baby materially much different to a late stage aborted foetus?

"Yeah but that platitude doesn't apply in this case surely?

Firstly what I said is not a platitude.

platitude

'plat?tju?d/Submit

noun

a remark or statement, especially one with a moral content, that has been used too often to be interesting or thoughtful.

My statement was one of historical fact. That you would dismiss it (and you recent history) as a platitude is platitudinal.

Platitudinal (?plæt?'tju?d?n?l)

adjective

characterized by banality or triteness

Collins English Dictionary. Copyright © HarperCollins Publishers

now if you wish to enter into a thoughtful discussion about why it is better for society to accept that some births are not in the interest of society and that any person regardless of sex should always have control over their body where it is possible I will have that discussion with you and I will give you multiple ethical dilemmas to ponder at the end of which I will ask you a simple question:

Are you able to draw a line and say this is where individual choice should be removed?

Personally I have never been able to draw that line for others, therefore I believe that every I believe that when it comes to choices about my life then it should be me who makes the choices unless it can be shown I am mentally unfit, and if I believe that for me it should be the same for everyone else.

It seems to me that too many people believe that there should be one rule for them and another for everyone else. (Note to a previous post: Where a poster siad they would want an abortion for themselves buy would ban it for everyone else.)

"

They both prevent babies being born. That one is a step further along the process than the other is meaningless.


" You said it's a fact that a woman has the right to control her own body. That's wrong in cases of self harm and euthanasia for example.`"

Oh christ. Is this the best you can come up with? So if you had a sister or female friend who desperately wanted an abortion, you'd say to them 'sorry, you don't have that right because people would also stop you from self harming or choosing euthanisation'


"As follow said on your opinion about living entities

Your wording is funny too (reading back). "Forcing" people to be pregnant. I've a mental image of some sort of article insemination while sleeping."

I thought you are going to make arguments? This is just you saying that you don't like my terminology. Call it 'forced to remain pregnant' if that really makes such a huge difference to you.


" If I was a woman with such a phobia of pregnancy I'd be on the pill, use condoms, not allow cumming inside me even with the condom and then as a fallback there's the morning after pill.

There's also abstainance and cycle timing. "

Uh, OK. So what? If women fall pregnant it's their own fault and they should forfeit any further choices?

And again on my earlier point which you didn't answer - how can you admit that you'd be fine seeing a pregnancy of yours aborted but want to restrict the same choice to others?

Surrendering you free will is a mental trick to distance yourself from the reality.

You my friend are free to make your own moral decisions but not free to abdicate yourself from your actions.

On hand you are arguing for freedom of one's bodily rights and on the other you remove that freedom from others by killing and dismembering (because you took some hokey oath).

I've asked that question already but not had an answer. Also pointed out how unwanted children have been treated by adults and other children and asked if the pro lifers were OK with that. That too was ignored. Not got round to the piratical questions involving serious deformities yet. Still caught on the 'every sperm is sacred, every egg is a being' argument. And still waiting for an admission that even recent history shows that regardless of the rights and wrongs of abortion forcing unwanted pregnancies and illegal 'back street' abortions on females causes even more problems than legal terminations. Therefore the only logical solution is regulation.

Your personal feelings on the matter aren't important. But it's good to note youd want an option that you would feel happy denying to others.

Just saying 'it wouldn't happen!' doesn't get you off the hook either, I'm afraid. It's a point of principle, and one on which you are a hypocrite.

And if you think that limiting options promotes responsibility then you're clueless. That's not how people work. People do not just get pregnant because they don't mind going through abortions.

It all comes down to how happy you are killing future humans

How about in case of pure inconvenience...a bad time in a woman's career?

Don't we all know reluctant mums who are natural parents who just never realised it until they got a good shot of brain chemicals when they held their first born for the first time?

Top debating strategy here, folks. When you've been challenged on multiple points and can't refute any of them, move on to a new one!

What multiple points?

Anyway I'm more thinking out loud and not fully decided.

I think the points focused solely on bodily "rights" are a bit off so that's why I'm debating against those.

Human life trumps inconvenience (excepting extreme cases) in my view

1. Show the moral difference between contraception and abortion

2. Show that a foetus overrides a woman's bodily automomy

3. Show evidence that banning abortion leads to more responsible sex

4. Justify your hypocrisy in wanting abortion as an option for yourself and not others.

Pregnancy and having a child are not an inconvenience. You really do lack any sense of imagination and empathy.

And also try and remember that this isn't some abstract problem.

This affects real women. Try and imagine how your wanking over whether or not you approve over women deciding what you do.with their own bodies looks to them.

Anyway stove, your debating strategy is that you over simplify what someone says with their own nuance and subtleties added to say what you want to make it look like they said and then expect that to be refuted.

"So you're saying that"........yawn

"Stove thinks he is quoting FACTS when he is saying his opinion."

What facts have you quoted? Everything you've said has been proven wrong. You only left the thread yesterday because you could see you being given enough rope to hang yourself.

So explain to me, what is a the affect of a termination a woman's physical and mental health?

Except I've not said anything like 'so you're saying that' in this thread, or misrepresented anyone's positions.

You just can't (or can't be bothered to) argue the specific points so you've stuck down some vague waffle about my debating style to make yourself feel better.

Hope it worked!
