Thanks for deducting reputation from this user. Thanks for deducting reputation from this user. And that is why smokers are universally reviled - you're all such selfish arseholes.

Well, if she had, I wouldn't have a problem with it either :p

My mother almost chose to 'end' me, and I have no problem with that fact.

Not that I know of - this doesn't happen all that often. The fact that she was able to fall pregnant at the age of 9 is itself exceedingly unlikely, let alone being able to carry to term (particularly considering her physical characteristics, as described - thin, scrawny and physically...

But that's a stupid point to backtrack to. There's a general consensus in the medical community at which point abortion is no longer acceptable, and I like to think they're more qualified than you to make that distinction - as YOU know full well. So what happens when a couple with a child...

The c-section? Probably. The pregnancy itself to get to the point where she COULD have a c-section? Unlikely, which is why the doctors went forward with the abortion in the first place.

You haven't offered any proof either. Sense would dictate that calling something that cannot function as a human a human is pretty silly. And one other thing - I believe that adding to the currently unsustainable world population growth is a pretty irresponsible and "immoral" thing.

This.

Physical and psychological. Also, as a biologist who knows better, I don't regard a zygote as my equal.

Irrelevant to you, maybe, but considering the risks of pregnancy, having a baby is never itself the "convenient" option. If I got pregnant today, you bet I'd be having an abortion ASAP, and that wouldn't be out of convenience.

I would say pretty much.. always? When one gets accidentally pregnant and decides to have an abortion, it's not because surgery is so easy and "oh, I just decided I didn't want it anymore!" It usually results as a failure of contraception (and it does happen, which is why despite being on the...

You all seem to think that an abortion, to a woman, is a matter of convenience because "we didn't want to use contraception". I think you'll find this is not the case for the vast majority of us. Either that, or [citation needed]. You can't make generalisations like that without backing it up.

Actually it's both, you (insert mild insult here). Nicotine is a powerfully addictive drug, and there are forceful physiological and psychological addictions involved.

I think you'd notice that as many males as females in this thread agree with the abortion position. And no, it's not that rare - since when does a woman require a 'valid reason' to do something with her body? Frankly, the reason is none of your business. [citation needed]. Also, get lost...

The family and the doctors who performed the abortion are to be excommunicated. Descpicable. I've been following the whole sad tale on Pharyngula.

The Bible has changed slightly from what we assume to be the original text, due to contemporary additions and conspicuous removals. However, the core text is the same. What's your point? Your browser does come with an inbuilt spell-checker, you know. And it's "compared".

Not so much writing skills as appropriate brain/mouth filter and translator.

Just a hint - it's Bible, not "Bibile".

But that's the point of this thread. Why is it those things?

This. I'd be very happy for councils to set up places for deleterious youths to spray paint to their heart's content - as long as tagging and graffiti of other public and especially private property remained a criminal offense. It's fucking annoying having to clean a shitty tag off a painted...
