The Right Reverend Bush is at it again by Blackbyrd22006-11-19 12:55:59

        Anti-abortion != religion, fundamentalism. by walkon2003-11-06 06:53:45
          But religion, fundamentalism == anti-abortion. by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 07:09:43
            Then what's the standard? by walkon2003-11-06 08:33:10
              For a number of reasons. by thewrongcrowd 2003-11-06 09:17:38
Logic and science support my position for one thing. Life (in the sense that abortion opponents use) has not been proven to begin at conception. A fetus is no more alive than a cancer. And if said fetus is having or will have the same effects on the mother as a tumor, should be treated as such. Secondarily, the position that fetus remains a fetus until birth imposes onerous restrictions on no one. The banning of medical procedures on the other hand does.

Quickening is traditionally a threshold for viability, but even after that event the decision to continue with the pregnancy or abort is a medical one and should be between the woman and her physician. The fact that abortion opponents can't seem to distinguish between a living, breathing human being and a collection of cells that contain human DNA flabbergasts me.

I do apologize for being flippant. However, abortion is often used when there are problems with the pregnancy, either deformities in the fetus or a pregnancy that threatens the mother's mental or physical health.

                But... Those reasons would only convice someone by walkon2003-11-06 09:51:33
                  That's not something you're going to find. by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 11:27:32
                    If that standard doesn't exist, by walkon2003-11-06 12:50:46
                      They don't have a place in the public debate by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 14:23:30
                        Are we going in circles? by walkon2003-11-06 14:53:04
                          You're doing the sidestepping. by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 15:23:40
                            OK... by walkon2003-11-06 16:17:06
                              Just in case you check back.... by thewrongcrowd2003-11-06 19:07:02
                                And in case *you* do. by walkon2003-11-07 00:39:33
