Abortion

UMUR wrote: There�s no need to bring a new life into this world if you are not able to take care of it. We have enough homeless, starving kids without parents or with parents that are not able to provide them with love and care in this world already. People against abortion usually have this standpoint out of a religious belief, but IMO that doesn�t qualify as a good reason. We are animals, and just because we have a more evolved brain than most animals do, we shouldn�t let morals or religious bogus get in the way of rational acts. If you can�t take care of your child for whatever reason, you shouldn�t have it!   My opinion of course.

I'm just trying to play devil's advocate here (), but why is abortion the only answer in that scenario? Of course, I agree that starving children is a huge problem... but is the best solution then to kill the fetus? I'm still somewhat unsure of my stance on this issue, but I think getting an abortion for that reason alone is immoral.

If abortion actually is murder (which I'm not completely sure if it is or isn't ) then it should be treated as such. Should we kill starving children because they're going hungry? And if not, why is acceptable before birth?

Again, this isn't necessarily my position - I'm just playing devil's advocate.

Pro choice.

A girl I was with during my 20's had three abortions. Basically it was her choice and well it should be. My input, for what is was worth was to have the abortions.

Might as well, this has been 9000X cleaner, more respectful and sane than anything on PA.

And metal heads are supposed to be the closed minded stupid ones

Check the libertarian thread. You can find some real winners in there. Last I saw they were talking abortion there.
Ironically enough the usual insane ones are pretty sane

It is great that we are small, (and cool) enough to talk about this stuff as well as genre related things with pretty much no problem. MMA ftw

I'm against abortion from a moral standpoint, but I tend to think it's something that should be legal.

That's like saying "if you support the Westboro Baptist Church's protection under the first ammendment, you support homophobia!". I've been told that before too.
