Is Abortion Ok.?

Overall and within reason, I believe a woman has the right to choose. What if she was at a party, passed out and didn't realize that she had gotten 'seduced' (okay, raped) by half a dozen guys and then ends up pregnant? She might not be ready for it, scared, whatever, and decide to terminate the pregnancy. Now, I said within reason. To me, within reason is the first trimester. I don't mean that down to the day. As in, if it's one or two days over, then oh well. But 4 to 5 months in (or even later), then that's unreasonable. At that point, unless her health will be endangered, she should just carry to full term and figure out what to do from there.

I agree that terminating based strictly on the gender is a bit uncaring/selfish, but if it's within the first trimester, then it's still her right. You said that you don't think it should even be legal. Are you saying that your beliefs are more important than hers? Are you saying that your rights should extend so far that you can control what she can and cannot do?

Seriously, learn to accept that others should be allowed to make choices for themselves just as you are allowed to make choices for yourself. If you would never get an abortion regardless of circumstances, then that's your CHOICE. You should be happy and grateful that you are able to make that choice for yourself. Don't go making it for other people too, because I doubt you'd like it if others started telling you what you can or can't do for things you feel should be your decision.

Oh and is there any reason that you capitalize the first letter of every word you type? It's a horrible habit to have and any good teacher will actually deduct points off of reports for doing that sort of thing. Not to mention employers would tell you to cut it out too.

No, it's not a consequence of 'preventing a death', it's the reality of what it is. I have yet to hear one pro-life activist making headlines for saying, "If a woman can get an abortion without killing the unborn child, then I'm okay with that!" No, it's about making abortion illegal, which is taking away the choice of the individual for the sake of something that isn't true.

Your arrogance in calling me arrogance is rather amusing. Life doesn't begin at conception, it's the process that leads to life that starts at conception. It's like making a cake. You have the ingredients and mix them together. The process has started but it's no where near being a cake yet. If you dump it out, then yeah that should be a crime (because cakes are yummy) but it's not a cake yet so you didn't kill the cake. Put it in the oven and at a certain point, it's developing into a cake and to yank it out and end the process would be killing it. It's a matter of figuring out when it crossing that threshold of just being mixed ingredients to being a cake that's just not thoroughly cooked yet.

George Carlin made a couple of very valid points on the issue. One, you don't need to give every ejaculation a name (slight over exaggeration of how overboard pro-lifers are). The other is that a pro-lifer will fight and kill for the right of the fetus to be born and, as he said it, "but once you're born, you're on your own." He's right too. There have been numerous instances over the years where a pro-life activist has KILLED someone. How's THAT for a hypocrite? "ALL life is precious, and I'll kill you to prove it!"
