If both would die through childbirth and abortion would save the mother, then yes. Otherwise, no.
Agreed.Originally posted by rmsharpe

Otherwise, it's letting irresponsibility go without consequences. People have to KNOW what they're getting into, before they choose to do so or not.
Indeed I find it quite repulsive that other people want to control what people can or cannot do with their body. I think the woman's opinion should count much more than the opinion of anyone else because it's her life and her body that are affected by the pregnancy and eventual birth of a baby.Originally posted by De Lorimier
I didn't even take the time to read the five pages. This is a women issue and they should get to choose. This is their body, this is their choice.
phillipe, do you know how a woman gets pregnant? Go ask Daddy to have, 'the talk' with you, and then get back to us.Originally posted by philippe
i thought jews wherent supposed to masturbate......
and this has nothing to do with sex and now i know you are a dirty little boy.
and this thread has nothing to do with sex.it is about abortion.
The Russian Space Agency couldn't put you on the same level with me. I'm not doing anything 'like' I hold the Truth, I do hold the Truth, and I give it away freely. You just don't want any.Originally posted by Akka
What I see is that I just put myself on the same level than you : scornful of the others' opinions, acting high with mines, and doing like if I was holding the Truth.
The fact that you did not saw the irony shows more about you than about me.

If people wanna have abortions during a reasonable timespan, like definitely the 4th, 5th months would probably the the very very limit, then they should be able to. I don't care and I won't tell someone else what they should do. So I'm prochoice even if I am a C&E catholic.

I'd rather see women going to doctors to perform an abortion in a safe way than bringing their lives in danger because of medieval techniques of forcing a miscarriage.Originally posted by allan2
Of course, abortions are possible without medical doctors, and even without those nasty coathangers in back alleys: a pregnant woman can merely "fall" down the stairs and have a miscarriage, or overexert themselves somehow and do it. Also, I understand that the ancient Persians used a tea from some herb to force a miscarriage--anyone know what this herb was?

Not protecting embreyos and foetuses from murder is nothing less than age discrimination. If you say it's because they aren't sentient, then why keep people in comas alive? Why protect newborns?
If your position is valid, then you should have no qualms about killing children under one year old, or the mentally infirm of any age, or raping/killing coma patients. If you have problems with any of this, you are a hypocrite.
my opnion:its his opinion and you cannot change it.Originally posted by Akka
Such an idiotic and arrogant statement destroy your argument better than anything I could prove. Well, no point in discuss with blind fanatics as they already "knows" they "have the Truth".
That's the same kind of biggots that goes on rampage, they just need to have their "truth" being the destruction of anything bad.
Still, I'll counter your pitiful arguments on your own ground. Won't be hard and will be fun.
They have the ABILITY to be sentient. And being sentient was not the paramount importance. What is important is that they can feel something. Without nervous system, any human just do not exist. You can replace ANYTHING in the human body with artificial parts without the person changing. You can put artificial heart, limbs, organs and so on. All BUT the brain. If you remove the brain, the person is gone.
So it's very logical that I consider the apparition of a nervous system to be the real birth of a new, independant life.
my opinion:
i agree the foetus is NOT alive until he has a nervesystem(12 weeks)
Just shows again your lack of understanding and your fanatic bigotry. I explained quite well why I consider any fetus without a nervous system not being a human being. Try to disprove THAT before waving your Holy Flag and calling anyone outside your blind little way a criminal or a hypocrite.

The problem is you can't keep stepping back. To continue on my Voltaire quoting binge "As long as people believe in absurdities they will continue to commit atrocities."Originally posted by Switch625
The religiously dogmatic types (yes, I am speaking about FL2 and Akka) are totally devoid of rationality. Best to just stand back and watch the show.

"I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it. "
However, my favorite Voltaire quote: "A witty saying proves nothing."

Only because someone else believes it doesn't mean it will never hurt you.
