Abortion

Because I liked him and thought Tom Hanks should have saved him! But, you know, his best friend is a football, so what do you expect really?

I am an emotional person, what more can I say?

You are trying to get me to say I am against the killing of innocents! I refuse to comment.

I never said anything about it saying that in the rules. I said I was led it to believe from the previous locked abortion thread.

Look at the last post on the last page here:

all my views are in that thread also - I shan't participate in this particular abortion thread - the last one ended up so ridiculously. My views are there for all to read in any case.

Why did you comment?

How much human is it?

You refuse to say that you are against the killing of innocent humans!!

Well, initially, the only individuality would be genetic. Once the baby is no longer "it" then it would be human. But I'm not an embryologist so...

That does not make much sense.

Are you going to dispute that the unborn is a human being?

The killing of innocent people was what you originally said, I think. That is why she can cry at the Green Mile and be in favour of an abortion, because one is a person and the other isn't.

I'm just infuriated by people who have sex irresponsibly, get pregnant, and just expect an abortion. It just infuriates me.

allowed for women who have been raped, or need abortions to save their lives (i.e. no alternative). I think abortion should be allowed for those obvious cases.

But for contraception?! What right does a foolish teenager have to take away a potential human beings life without a just reason other than she 'just wanted a good time'? It's not right.

Are you going to dispute that an acorn is a tree?

I am afraid Mr Bush ("the French don't have a word for entrepreneur" - who put this guy in charge of a whole country?) doesn't agree with you.

Stem cell research could lead to a cure for many diseases including cancer and alzheimer's disease. I would be interested in the OP's take on this.

Yes, I know what you mean. It goes by the argument that if people are mature enough to have sex, then they should be mature enough to deal with the consequences. Abortion should be a last resort.


hmm I'm not in favour of abortion in all circumstances. People have different opinions about what constitutes human life. I don't think I would go through with an abortion unless in the exceptional circumstances you've described. However I don't think we should ban abortion. I don't think that would be the right way to go about it. It should be up to individual choice. I think you've put your point across very well. It shows you truly appreciate what human life means and I really respect you for that.

I never said I was in favour of abortion.

(But neither did I say I wasn't)

Interesting. No, an acorn is certainly not a tree. However it has the potential to become a tree. Regardless of this the difficult question remains. When does the acorn become a tree? When it grows its first roots? Maybe we should just say we should not kill an acorn because it could become a magnificient tree. I would much rather kill a tree that has lived a long time on the earth and had glorious experiences than an acorn that has yet to embark on its magnificient journey (quote of the day). I'm sure you can understand the point I'm making. Regardless of this, comparing humans to trees is futile in my opinion. Certainly an interesting point though.
