| Since I am not in America, my knowlege of abortion in America is not an issue. Personally I am wholeheartedly in favour of a woman's right to choose, or as you would likely put it, I am in favour of "the serial killing of innocent, defenceless children", until the third trimester. As pointed out by Waychel, this is the scientifically accepted point at which "life begins", regardless of religious views on the matter (which are an irrelevance in any case). Abortions after this stage would be acceptable only if there was serious medical risk to the pregnant woman.
Less abortions would be better from health and economic standpoints, since it's obviously not a preferred method of contraception. Better education about contraception is the key to reducing the number of abortions, rather than simply causing the return of "back street abortions" with a ban.
My earlier post was a complaint about the way in which you choose to conduct debate. Were you to have taken notice of some the points, I would say the post might have been worthwhile. Since you chose to ignore everything I said in favour of unfounded personal insults, I concede that it was probably a waste of effort on my part. |
