Twila has it. Tibear, your argument doesn't make sense. By making abortion legal, we will be protecting the lives of women.
Twila said:The arguement about what a child wants is illogical. Children want lots of candy and all night tv.
To guess at what one would feel if they were dead is illogical. One feels nothing when one is dead.
I stated early that I believe it is upto the individuals involved to decide. No amount of persuading by any pro-lifer is going to change that for me. By this statement I realize and accept that we all have FREE WILL. As was intended from the start. If not we would not be enjoying this democratic society we live in.
Reverend Blair said:It isn't encouraged though, Jay. Maybe I should say that it isn't encouraged by proponents of women having the right to choose.
When you look at those who are opposed to abortion, they are the same people who are opposed to sex education and availability of birth control, especially for minors. Who is encouraging what?
Reverend Blair said:Confusing "child" and "fetus"?
It is nobody's business but the woman's. Women don't try to control you body, Gerry. Why would you wan't to try to control theirs?
What you are doing is dehumanising to justify the support of the murder of thousands upon thousands of innocent children.

Reverend Blair said:If you look at the demographics the group who are against abortion are far more likely to oppose sex education and availability of birth control for teens. They are, as a group, more likely to favour the death penalty.
You might be an exception to that, Gerry. This thread isn't about just you though.
What you are doing is dehumanising to justify the support of the murder of thousands upon thousands of innocent children.
What I'm doing is using proper terminology to keep this from becoming a purely emotional argument, Gerry.

That's exactly right...and we should be able to conduct experiments on them...because they lose all rights to their bodies and they're no better than lab rats from the moment of conception and up until the time they squeeze out their unwanted child...
gerryh said:Well your one sick puppy, aren't ya.... so that's the choices eh.... experiment on pregnant women or murder unborn children. I sure as hell hope you don't have any kids.....if you do...I hope you are being supervised with them.
