Canada Stands Alone On Anti-abortion

Chair is an entity, a cow is an entity, a snake is an entity. So what is your point? Did you just now make up a rule that one entity cannot take another entity's life? I suppose that means you are a vegetarian? After, all, chicken, cow, lobster, these are entities. You wouldn't want to take their life, would you?
And you are right, I have no respect for a fetus. Why should I? A fetus is useful only in the sense that it has the potential to develop into human life. If mother decides to deny that potential, then fetus is simply medical waste.
The best that you can do? I think that is good enough. Abortion is murder is a religious view, it has no scientific backing. There is no scientific evidence that life begins at conception.
I assume you meant exception not acception (whatever that might mean).
Teen pregnancies used to be the norm prior to the 20th century. Do you really mean unmarried teen pregnancies?
And what teens are you taking about - girls of 13 or women of 19?
You are right it is hard to go against abortion. It is the only 100% certain form of birth control.
I was thinking of abortion as a method of birth control since that was the post I was replying to. However, provided that people can be convinced to practice abstinence, it works just fine. The problem is that experience suggests that abstinence rarely seems to work even for those who advocate it. Abortion never fails.
Yep, and I'm guilty of it as much as you are too...;-)...sometimes...:lol:
Respecting life isn't a religious choice, it's a personal choice. If you didn't allow doctrine to rule your thinking, you would be capable of making your own choices. Unfortunately, you haven't reached that level of personal maturity.
I doubt he did. People oft come to the realization that one should respect life as they gain maturity.
Vegetarian is a Native word, for Warrior who can't hunt. Respecting the source of sustenance, has nothing to do with indiscriminately taking a life.
To support another, yes. That is respect. Of which I am sure to you, is as foreign a concept as maturing.
That's pretty funny...
I know you accept wikipedia, you use it often enough, so here you go...
Cell (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yes.
Right here.
What I mean't was, it's all about her and her freedom of choices. Where are all the potential fathers and his decisions. Last time I checked a single sperm is the life of the empty egg...
Surprised a male can't give birth on his own. :lol:
We've been down this road...

Quite.
Here's the issue. Abortion was once illegal, it was seen as murder and the laws were based on morality, which of course in the west comes from a Christian foundation.
It mattered not that a young women out of wedlock with child, was ostracized, shunned and otherwise cast out of society of the day. Nor did it matter that she may have been the victim of rape, incest or any other manner of forced insemination. Furthermore, her health was not even a consideration.
This of course is an extreme.
That extreme led to a rising mortality rate due to back alley abortions, botched home abortions and young women not in the best of health, forced to carry to term.
Something had to be done.
Along came the pro choice movement. And we ended up going from one extreme to another. Thus removing the responsibility of the women. This is where I take issue.
I'm not religious, and no one can claim I'm a Christian by any stretch of the imagination. Hell, I hunt, I trained to kill things and I have a healthy opinion on the fact that taking a life is justifiable.
But I still respect it.
God didn't tell me life begins at inception, facts and my own perception of them did.
I wouldn't shoot a Doe, nursing a foal. I wouldn't shoot a foal, nursing from a Doe. That's my personally developed morality.
My wife and I have two boys, our first born was a "surprise", but we didn't terminate, even though at the time, I was in the Army, I was not, by my own admission, in a reasonable place both mentally and financially to be a father. But we didn't terminate, we endured.
She got pregnant again, and was diagnosed with a tubular pregnancy, and there was no choice.
Then along came Kooter, my youngest and the only child I have that was planned, lol.
Were the former choices we made with God in our hearts? Absolutely not. Those were choices we made with a reasoned respect for life. In both cases. Whether or not the cellular growth within the woman is scientifically considered a "life" or not is irrelevant (although I think there is case for it to be considered life scientifically). It is to my estimation, a life, therefore worthy my respect. And on the other side of the coin, a woman is obviously a life, and she to is worthy my respect. Thus it is not my place to say how she control her body. End of debate.
Which is why I fully support choice. What I do not support is, the use of abortion as a retroactive form of birth control, for the perpetually stupid. That is the furthest end of the extreme.
Given the fact that there are beyond numerous organizations out there, that cater to the young. In regards to safe sex and all. In this day and age, there is no excuse for it.
There is however a Christian moral element, that is forever obstructing the deliverance of information and the availability of protection to the young.
And to be honest, I don't think they have the wherewithal to see they are the harbingers of their own issues.
