There is no debate about the fact that abortion is murder.

There are only those who have seared their consciences.

LOL
isn't it amazing?
on every single message board, garysher finds ONE other kindred spirit - and they're always the same mean-spirited, belligerant, sanctimonious and nasty type!
It's like flies to sh*t. LOL

Agreed. Taking away the religious aspects is the best argument for choice.

Exactly and any who would argue otherwise better do the big double check and think again. Most pro-lifers think Islamic Law is dangerous and yet, making this issue one of government is within the strains of a theocracy as well.

Exactly... Where is the man's burden in Child birth? It's easy for men to be pro-life, they don't have the burden of child birth to deal with. You can not blame sex on the woman, and you can not expect people to not make mistakes, and to never act out of passion. How boring would our world be if there were no passion?

You are right that both parties are responsible for conception, but whereas the man can duck his responsibility and "do a runner"***the woman cannot!

Therefore, it has to be the woman who makes the final decision about having sex if there are risks involved

I agree it maybe unfair but that's the way it is!
That's one of the worste arguments I have ever heard.

I used to be anti-abortion - not particularly vocally...but if asked, I was against it.
However, when several women took me to task, explaining why this entire argument is none of men's business, but rather an issue for and about women, I realized they were absolutely right, and changed my stance.

Now, I just believe it's a WOMAN'S choice to do with her body (and what is IN her body) as she sees fit.

It *is* very easy for me to be pro-life - and, interestingly enough, most of the people I see in anti-abortion demonstrations are men. Certainly not ALL - but the majority. Most women seem to be in favor of allowing other women to make their own choices, even if they themselves would not choose abortion.
