This debate is 12 pages too long. I only got like four pages in before I gave up. Anyways Roe vs. Wade ruled in favor of a womens right to privacy and thus protecting and allowing her to make her own decesion regarding her pregnacy. That was almost forty years ago and overturning such a ruling would create such a new precedent allowing for other cases to be reexamined and new rulings to be made. Rest assured the Supreme Court and the rest of the Gov does not want that. So I feel it safe to say abortion is here to stay. I guess were going to have to agree to disagree and learn to cope with each others opposing viewpoints. Really though the problem lies in our culture. Rates of unwanted pregancy and abortion are startingly lower in Europe and else where were sex is openly discussed and viewed as a normal part of life unlike here in the states where it is a taboo subject. Minimize occurance of unwanted pregnancy and you get rid of abortion. [/quote]
Don’t want unwanted pregnancies, don’t have sex. And, this is the same logic as well, if we over turn slavery then it’ll create new precedent to allowing other cases to be reexamined.[/quote]
All of the pro-lifers like this argument, because free-will and equality are paramount to their argument. However, not everyone is born with the same amount of self control. Terrible life circumstances add to the negative, uncontrolled aspects of a person’s actions as well. If these people do not want to be parents, who are you to force that one them? And if they don’t want to take the chance on adoption, why are you forcing them to complete what they started?
You want to take away the conscious choice to abort, but refuse to address the fact that your body naturally aborts at any point in the process when conditions are not favorable that it can sense. If the child’s genes are messed up, the body often aborts it. If the parent isn’t eating right, the body aborts it. Sometimes, for no reason that can be sensed, the body aborts.
[b] When the body consciously does this (as in the case of messed up genes such or unfavorable conditions in the middle of pregnancy), is it committing a crime, or is it furthering it and it’s offspring’s survival for the good of the species? [/b][/quote]
Are you seriously arguing this?
Are you that desperate?
Why don’t we put children in jail for manslaughter when they’ve committed a crime? How about dogs? Should we put dogs in jail for biting people? If you bit someone, they’d call it assault put you in jail? Well why not dogs, gosh darnit? Dogs are people, too, right?
Oh, and factory machinery. Responsible for more death and maiming than Elizabeth Bathory herself. Any factory equipment that has drawn a single milliliter of blood should be locked up and the key thrown away.
Good gravy. Go back to SAMA, please.
