Abortion

What the hell are you talking about?

question is, at what point do we consider the fertilised egg as human?

Precisely at that point.

There may be marginally less unprotected sex, but there'd be a whole lot more backstreet abortions and clothes-hangers put to uses they really shouldn't be...

well they should think about that when they have unprotected sex really !
it would definatly make them think twice ! lifes too easy nowadays..

But people don't think about that. That's a fact of life. Sure, you can sit up on your high horse and moralise about how 'people should think about that', but the end product of your rather ridiculous piousness would be people sticking unsterilised sharp metal objects where they shouldn't be without medical supervision.

if people dont think about it then it's their problem ! thats the whole point of this debate. all you have to do to avoid getting knocked up is to think a little, it's not exactly the hardest thing to do to go out and buy a pack of condoms and get on the pill !

they dont have to get an illigal abortion ! they can have the baby and put it up for adoption . at least they can learn from there mistakes, ive heard people getting like 5 abortions, thats a bit sick

So I'm guessing you've had a football-sixed object push it's way out of your vagina then? Fun experience, was it?

Why is having five abortions more sick than having one?

mate if you dont want that then just use all the proctection available , it's not the hardest thing ! i hate it when people say **** like that cus well if REALLY didnt want that experience and want to avoid it then you'd stop being stupid. so yes if your stupid enough then it's better to have 'football -sized object' pushed out of your vagina and give it a chance to live then kill it. like i said im leaving this debate, cus really i have more important things to do and we can argue this till we're all blue in the face and i don't have that kind of time.
