so you have no problem with coathangers, as long as-
a)there is some antibiotics around
b)only 25 women die a year
Uh...you conveniently left out the last part: "Statistics from the agency afterwards show that the number of abortion deaths rose in 1974 and 1975, despite abortion's legality"
it's there to elicit an emotional response. There is no evidence a fetus can feel pain.
Why would it elicit an emotional response? It's just a "fetus", after all.
who said it was 'fine'? your adjective, not mine.
'choice'......you act like women are discarding these things like tissues simply because they can. You honestly don't see the decision being motivated by a little more than simply an individual exercising her choice? That just demonstrates further contempt for women- you think they wouldn't be anymore conflicted over the decision then they would be when trying to decide between the red dress over the blue one.
If you have no problem with it, it obviously is "just fine".
And actually many women are discarding these things like tissues simply because they can. When you're told it's not human..it's just a fetus etc..that's basically what they're doing. Why do you think the pro-abortion folks scream when they're told they may have to actually explain to the women what is actually happening.
But again..for those that agonize over the decisons. Why? Because it's a developing human being.
And forcing her against her will to give birth to something that shares the DNA of her rapist will be good for her mental health?
I'm not sure if I'd have the courage to ask a woman that question.
Again..Can you convince me that a woman who has an abortion for the reason you indicated won't suffer as well?
You act like killing the baby will kill the pain and suffering caused by the rape.
Again..those are a tiny amount of those that actually have abortions.
Only if she is surrounded by idealogues telling her she should hate herself for having an abortion, which I'm sure you would be one of.
Besides, that is your opinion only. Call me crazy but I hardly think the victim would believe that the opinion of a stranger would be more important than her own- do you make a habit of letting other people make choices for you in your life? do you make a habit of letting other people tell you what is good for you and what isn't it?
I just don't see there being large groups of rape victims out there being traumatised by the decision they made about whether or not to keep it.
Ah..nice try. You obviously don't know what goes on behind the counseling etc from the pro-life side. But I guess I could say- the other side just says- nothing to it. No problemo. You won't regret it.
I'm actually glad you're stuck on the rape cases. Obviously it's the easiest one to push. Now how about all the other cases?
Irrelevant.
If you force a women to give birth when she doesn't want to, be it for reasons of a carelessness over contraception, accident, change of financial circumstances or rape, then you're punishing her to satisfy your own idealogical bent.
And that would be...life.
