Is there someone here who still thinks NO ONE should have an abortion??
And this is what the Roman Catholic Church has decided:

Unfortunately you will find many people here that think that. No exceptions.

i am going to defuse this situation before it even erupts with this .jpg:

you’re seriously going to put a 1 out of 1,000,000 case and hold that up as the example?
HAHAHAHA! As an American, I, sir, am deeply offended. But as a person, I am laughing my a$$ off!
If you read my previous posts on the subject, I’ve never been condoning abortion, specially as a method of contraception…however, in some cases, it should be allowed.
if you mean the 1 in 1,000,000 of abortions and that are agreed upon by physicians and the courts, then yes.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO really?
by physicians and a court?? might as well say no abortion at all considering the time frame required…
Jen - how true that is.
If you think abortion is immoral, then DON’T GET ONE! What someone else does is their business.
Please tell me that is an internet hoax…please…

I think it is a very defensible position. Much more than the situational moral position where some abortions are acceptable if the pregnancy they terminate results from a sufficiently morally reprehensible cause. If one believes that life is sacrosanct, and that a fertilized egg is equivalent to life, than it is logical that all life is worthy of protection. No matter how that life was created, or the hardship that will be created when it reaches fruition.
The position I find most repugnant is moral relativism … abortion is acceptable in this girl’s situation because of the horror of how the preganancy came about and what it will do to her. But, abortion is not acceptable in a more benign situation where the women does not want to be pregnant, for whatever personal reason. From a strictly functional framework, there is no difference. A pregnancy … a “human”, a “person”, a “potential person” … will be “killed” should the abortion be performed; and will not be killed if the abortion is not performed. There is an internal logic that can’t be denied.

i have identified it as a hoax.

"If you think abortion is immoral, then DON’T GET ONE! What someone else does is their business. "
It amazes me that pro-choice people think it’s this simple.
You do realize, right, that anti-abortion folks think an abortion is the murder of a human child, right? So, by your logic, if someone thinks murder is immoral, they shouldn’t murder someone, but what anyone else does is their own business? If someone thinks robbery is immoral, they shouldn’t rob, but what everyone else does is their own business?
That logic just doesn’t work in our society. We recognize some things as de facto moral or immoral for everyone, and nobody gets to tell everyone to just “mind their own business” when it comes to those actions. Murder is one of those actions, and for anti-abortion people, abortion and murder are no different. If you want to convince an anti-abortion person, you have to convince them that the fetus is not a human being, and that killing the fetus is not murdering a human being.
Telling them to just mind their own business while a child is murdered is not a winning argument.
I agree to some extent if you take the perspective of someone seeing abortion as murder. The problem is when you start hearing the Roman Catholic Church saying that the morning after pill is also abortion and is also killing someone…
Or, when the same folks who are anti-abortion are also pro-death penalty. Don’t understand that one at all.
Or why hamburger meet is sold in pack of 6 and buns in pack of 8

When is a baby a baby?
Well, that’s precisely why, even though I am pro choice, I make a real effort to understand the position of anti-abortion people.
But not to the point of accepting their stance that a bunch of non-differentiated cells is a human being…the heart starts to beat around 4 weeks and you have all major organs around week 12, so probably between these 2.
