The pro-life platform is flawed in a natural sence. It presurposes that nature's default is to allow for every birth to be cared and raised for.
A quick inspection of nature tells otherwise.
PROLIFERS - Still no responce as to letting homosexuals adopt?
RL - nobody needs to prove that you do anything for the children alive today, that burden is on you.
Quote:there is no reason one life should be extinguished so another can be cared for. if abortion were a necessary evil, thus enabling other children to live a good life, then why is poverty still prevelant? this is just another lame argument given by those that push abortion.
Kate - A mother does not abort because she feels some great obligation to all the other children in the world. This isn't an issue of population control. Why Should a mother be FORCED to have a child if she doesn't want to?
The issue of abortion and stem cell cultivaation are smaller subsets of a larger topic of the quality of life.
I won't argue that every abortion represents more support for a living child now, but make no mistake every FORCED child will have a detimental effect on every other living child. the relation is NOT communitive.
Nobody needs to prove that the unborn is human. Establish that the unborn is human and the argument for keeping abortion legal is still as valid as ever.
I do argee that partial birth abortions being banned is a good thing, but it has nothing to do with the seconds before and after birth, but instead the issue of
1) I believe in making desicions, but making them at appropriate times: i.e.- early in pregnancy.
2) A mother in mid-birth is probably mentally not in a clear state to make such desicions: anestetics, pain, etc.
I'v outlined many times in these threads hat I invision as a reasonable timeline for carrying out abortions and what consultation should be provided as assistance to the mother.
