Mexico City lawmakers vote to legalize abortion:

[Osborn F Enready]

Rinoa said: Other than proving that they parented the child?

Yes, many other things. All things contained within genes, DNA, etc.

Rinoa said: Highly doubtful, and a possible inconvenience not substantial enough to justify killing another person.

Once again, you are calling a potential person a person.

Rinoa said: Plus, with an adoption process which screens the identity of the person you would have to know beforehand whose child it was, and there would be no way to find out.

I don't know if you noticed or not, but the government isn't very good at keeping secrets. The IRS has failed repeatedly to protect privacy, and I don't need my genetic code and health information in the hands of insurance companies and others who may have reason to harm me, so I couldn't see why a potential mother would either, or potential father, for that matter.

Rinoa said: By relinquishing parental rights they legally relinquish parental responsibility. So no, they can't be held legally liable later on down the road, the new parents take that on.

You are willing to bet YOUR rights on that, I am not.
