For me it's also about the sanctity of human life.<BR/><BR/>I just think of the life an unwanted child would have or the life it would have in the care of the state.<BR/><BR/>I don't believe that it should be used as a birth control method, but I believe that the option should be there if it is needed.Muchacho Enfermohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199529242989469992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051900760948279347.post-38523667053991020572008-12-30T04:49:00.000-05:002008-12-30T04:49:00.000-05:00No, I think rape is a legitimate reason to seek an...No, I think rape is a legitimate reason to seek an abortion.<BR/><BR/>Even if one were to suggest that a woman shouldn't have the right to decide whether or not she'll have a child -- and I certainly won't because I believe she should have that right -- one has to admit that a woman has the right to decide whether or not she'll have sex.<BR/><BR/>If one believes in both of these rights, then rape violates each. An abortion shouldn't be considered the option of choice, but it very much is legitimate, in my view.Patrick Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592482865332628189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051900760948279347.post-30774224212477548442008-12-29T22:18:00.000-05:002008-12-29T22:18:00.000-05:00I don't know what the statistic is in Canada, but ...I don't know what the statistic is in Canada, but recently here, I think I heard that the statistic for abortion because of rape was something like 6% perfect.<BR/><BR/>I think the pro choicers use it as an excuse and to create drama, in order to justify killing another human being, before it even has a chance.<BR/><BR/>Again I don't know how it's in Canada, but here if you have baby and you can't or won't keep it for whatever reason, you can drop it off at a hospital or police station with no questions asked.<BR/><BR/>I'm stating this opinion, out of religious fanaticism, I'm actually not very religious, but I do believe in the the value of all life.~Zurama Arencibia Nuñez~https://www.blogger.com/profile/11559659835021430653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8051900760948279347.post-2998440115978671542008-12-29T21:55:00.000-05:002008-12-29T21:55:00.000-05:00The pro-abortion lobby's arguments about whether o...The pro-abortion lobby's arguments about whether or not abortion should remain legal are certainly stronger.<BR/><BR/>It's fairly obvious that a lot of anti-abortion activists haven't stopped to consider the implicit realities underlying abortion.<BR/><BR/>A woman who wants to terminate an abortion badly enough will find a way to do that. Legal abortion performed in medical clinics is clearly preferable to back alley abortions and all of their accompanying human misery.<BR/><BR/>All the same, there's a huge difference between seeking an abortion for legitimate reasons and seeking an abortion as retroactive birth control.<BR/><BR/>Right now, Canada is the only western democracy that places no limits whatsoever on abortion. This places us in a serious moral quandry.<BR/><BR/>When it comes to abortion most people would certainly agree that the sooner that abortion is sought, the better. The closer a pregnancy gets to term the greater the moral issue posed by an abortion is.<BR/><BR/>To put is simply, an unborn child is human life, even if we don't necessarily recognize it as a human being <I>per se</I>. But at a certain point that fetus has unquestionably become a child.<BR/><BR/>I believe the country is remiss to allow a woman to terminate such a pregnancy without sufficient medical cause.Patrick Rosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592482865332628189noreply@blogger.com
