@Elodin: Actually, Corribus's post with fancy colours fully aknowledges that you indeed did say "many" instead of "most" and still manages to show the point that your sentence was incapable of leaving a clear impression of what you're trying to say because it doesn't properly define your sets of people.

The colourful post does not have even one implication of "many" and "most" being synonymous. This is simply you not tackling the colourful post, but instead returning to an older post in wich there was a misunderstanding of what you had attempted to convey.

It is rather petty indeed, but when losing the war, the anti-Christians rejoice over the smallest of victories. Go get 'em tiger!

whatever you decide, Elodin, you're statement was really, really crass and disgusting. the way you protrayed those who were pro abortion, by even saying "Many" was to imply that the pro-choice moment has a secret underscore of harold shipman wannabes who will kill old people when they are not longer useful.

That is what peoples find so utterly objectionable, for you to make such a vile and baseless statement and state it as fact. if you had simply said "I think" at the start, we might have found that statement disgusting, but at least it's you're oppinion, and you're not trying to pass it off as fact.

Me? I'm pro-choice.

It's the woman's choice whether she has an abortion, carries on with the pregnancy, or carries on and puts the child up for adoption. it's her body, she has the right to abort a fetus who is insider her against her will. it's her choice, the fetus doesn't suffer if it's done early enough, and it's stops the birth of unwanted children.

life is precious, yes, but if that life is not valued, then it is hell.

So as long as you use a painless method to kill another human life it is ok.

What if a woman is on the way to have an abortion but she goes into labor, pulls over on the side of the road and gives birth to a premature baby. The baby looks like it will survive if given aid. Does the mother have a right to leave the baby in the ditch? Does the mother have a right to inject the baby with a leathal dose of pain killer medication?

Oh, and if she did not want the baby she should have kept her panties on. There is no mystery about who the baby wound up inside her. She may not want the baby but that does not give her the right to kill it. Let her give it to someon less selfish and more capable of love.

Elodin, who do you know who would do that?! Honestly, Sometimes I think you're only purpose on this issue is to shock everyone with you're grotesque fantasy!

once the babies outside, then she doesn't have the right to kill it. As long as it's inside her, she's has the right to choose either to have an abortion the featus or to keep it until she's ready. If she gives birth to the baby and she doesn't want it, it can be put up for adoption!

Elodin, on this issue, you are the most heartless of basterds! you're wanting chastity belts and no sexual freedom! For goodness sake, man, what century do you live in!

she has every right to kill the featus, It's her body it's living in! If she want's it, fantastic, if she doesn't want it, then she's got every right to do so!

I have a feeling you just head women! That last bit just takes the cake, where you're basically saying, "any woman who has an abortion is a heartless witch!" I'm sorry, growing up, I've met six people who have had abortions, one of them is my own mother! I feel proud that my mother had the option of having an abortion, but she chose to keep me instead, and I will defend her right to her body, and for any women to have a right to her body!

And it's people like you who drive abortions underground, causing more fatalities a they do so. You are not pro-life, or pro-choice, You are pro-trauma!

No sane person would support abortion at the point where the foetus can survive if given aid. That's why I only support legal abortion if before viability.

At that stage, it is no longer the choice of the mother anyway (the baby is outside her). Can the baby survive outside the womb, then it's the duty of the government, in my opinion, to provide for the baby. Like for every citizen.

Actually, I recall some years back that a baby was found in a dumpster that I passed by every day while jogging. Thankfully he was still alive. They did catch the mother who did it, by the way. I don't recall what they did to her.

If you don't value human life in the womb, there is no reason to value it out of the womb.

So you are saying that had she arrived at the clinic a few minutes earlier and had the baby killed in her womb it would have been ok. But it is not ok for her to kill the baby at the same time that it would have been aborted if she had not been running a few minutes late.

What is it that makes it ok to kill the baby at 7:00 inside the womb but not ok to kill the baby at 7:05 if it is born premature while waiting for the abortion doctor to arrive?

Leaving babies who survive abortion to die

Baby almost aborted but mother left clinic and went into labor and delivered

My pardons. I thought in saying that it is no mystery how the baby wound up inside her that everyone would know that I was speaking of sex. Evidently not.

why do I find that story hard to believe?

you know what F**k it, you want me to say that I'm some kind of monster, don't you Elodin. Alright, I am a baby eating cannibalistic heathen whose bisexual with tenacles growning out of his back and laser beam eyes!

and actually, there is a reason to value life out of the womb. That's when it starts to think, and to feel. thats when it becomes semi dependent, rather than feeding off the mother for oxygen, nutrition and so on.

Yep.

I know the worlds a complicated place Elodin, You'd better get used to it.

Also, why the hell would she leave it so late. Any sensible person (I.E, a person with at least one brain cell) wouldn't wait until so late to have an abortion. the proposition you proposed was a one off and the person who did it was incredibly stupid.

It's not. IMHO as a woman abortion is only for early on, or if the risks of the mother dying are too high (thus killing both baby and mother) or if the mother was brutally defiled and made pregnant.

I agree with babies, but early term pre-brain, pre-heart fetus are not people yet. I've never had an abortion and probaby never would. But I believe we should have the right to cleanse our temples, especially in cases where the pregnancy was forced.

If the government kidnapped you and made you pregnant like the movie junior would you keep it? What if it was with 2 men's sperm genetically modified so one acts like an egg?

The above italicized portion is only out of morbid curiousity.

But yes, there are limits. If the baby is at a point where it can think, has a heartbeat and can feel pain it's usually to late.

At least that's how I feel.


Also, I've known a few people bounced around the foster care/orphanage systems of North America. A great deal of them were abused, some are even hit on or worse by their foster parents. Most of them actually wish they were aborted. Which means we need better controls... which also means fewer kids get adopted since fewer parents are found eligible... which means a tax hike to look after all these kids that nobody can adopt =(

Unless they allow child labour again... then I suppose America would be competitive with China again.

Simple, it's out, it's seperate from the mother. it is surviving on its own and not totally dependent of the mother.

and I'm proposing that ability not to become pregnant the moment you have sex, and the right to choose whether to have a child or not, is the single greatest step in womens rights since the suffregettes movement in 1910's.

and you're wanting to take it away.

And you have your answer. Why Doomforge WHY spawn another 3 pages of zealous debating?

Oh and Shyranis thanks for the input. While I don't really have the patience to read the wast majority of posts in here (simply because they're repeating themselves) I always find your posts very interesting. Not simply because you're a woman (but considering the fact that it gives you a somewhat different viewpoint of things I'd lie if I said it didn't matter) but your thoughts on the matter are refreshing in their own way. I just hope you don't get too discouraged by the atmosphere here (mind you I'm not encouraging to stay in the OSM either why aren't you in the Tavern anymore?).

This is not a particularily new discussion and ever since it started I believe that little new has been added, if you don't mind me saying so. That's not saying that the participants aren't good at arguing I'm just saying that the sane arguments get thrown arround with people rigorously holding on to their positions. Why not give it a rest?

I'm actually interested in an answer to this as well; "contraception" does pose problems for pro-lifers.  Although I'm fairly certain my reasoning is quite different from Doomforge's, which, if I remember his reasoning correctly, is completely untenable.  (No offense, DF )

Contraception by definition is the prevention of fertilization. It has the same basic effect as abstinence. If someone is against oral contraception they must also be against abstinence. Therefore we should all refrain from abstinence and have sex as often as possible.
