The moral case for abortion grows weaker.

[url=http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2014/01/23/brit_hume_the_moral_case_for_allowing_abortion_grows_ever_weaker.html?fb_action_ids=10201286410664746&fb_action_types=og.likes&fb_ref=.UuE81OT9AEs.like&fb_source=other_multiline&action_object_map=%5B4]link[/url][quote]BRIT HUME: This is the 41st anniversary of the day the Supreme Court found that a generalized right to privacy it had basically invented, meant that a woman has a constitutional right to snuff out an unborn life, a human being with a beating heart. That's what a fetus as young as six weeks is. Small wonder these protesters still come every year to register their continuing objections. Some estimates are that as many as 55 million abortions -- 55 million -- have occurred since the Court acted. In that time, science has given us an ever clearer picture of just how much of a baby a fetus is. At 20 weeks, we now know, these tiny creatures can hear, even recognize a mother's voice. Their toenails are growing and their hearts beat loud enough to be heard by a stethoscope. The moral case for allowing such beings to be killed grows ever weaker and its advocates resort to ever more absurd euphemisms to describe what they support. They're not really pro-abortion, they've long said, they're pro-choice. This isn't about killing unborn babies. it's about reproductive health. And the biggest chain of abortion clinics in the country refers to itself as Planned Parenthood. In 2012, this organization says it carried out -- quote -- "abortion procedures" 329,445 times. Whatever that number represents, it's not parenthood. These protesters here today understand that there is something deeply false and wrong about all this. They come each year to remind the rest of us.[/quote] Discuss.

    It should [i]at least[/i] be legal in the case of sexual assault or complications. At the moment, I see it as appropriate to have abortion open as a "last resort" option. It would be nice not to have such an operation exist in the first place, but unfortunately we're not that advanced (or educated). Both males and females need to be further educated on this matter, especially in the case of sexual assault. [spoiler]I wouldn't be opposed to some sort of aerosol drug released into the atmosphere to lower male testosterone levels on that one, although that's not even remotely plausible and fairly extreme. I wonder if it would work, though?[/spoiler]

  • Abortion should be legal UP TO AND ONLY UP TO the point at which the CNS begins development

      • Abortion is just another social issue that will go on forever, both sides minds are already made up. So I no longer care to debate on this topic.

        I will always remember what T04ST n J4m (Sorry if I got the name wrong) said about this on B.old, 'I'm of two minds about abortion, I'm for it because it kills babies and I'm against it because it gives women a choice.' Made me laugh anyway.

          • While I consider myself Pro-Life, I do not think that just saying "it's illegal" is the way to go. People do not have abortion for fun. Research shows that over 80% of those who had planned an abortion changed their mind after seeing a sonogram. We need to provide help to these people who are in crisis pregnancies. By helping them, not only are we helping those in need, but helping prevent the possibility of the loss of the baby's life. We should help, not shame these women.

                • I think we should all have a choice. Don't like abortion, then don't get one. Don't limit others. We all have different moral codes.

                  • I'm against it, mainly cuz there are tons of people who can't have kids who desperately want them (My aunt, for example) and abortion is literally throwing babies away.

                        Whatever your stance, it should be made legal. When it was banned in Romania, illegal abortions skyrocketed, along with the the injuries and deaths of dozens of young women resulting from them. Its gonna happen either way, and best it be legal and controlled and safe.

                        • [quote]you can let that baby grow, but ill kill it yo .. kill the fetus .. - Esham[/quote] - Meaning, unfit mothers should have the right to not bring another child into the world, if she can't take care of it. And if a women is allergic to condoms, then abortion is there. However, I really don't know what side I'm on.. I was going to be aborted when I was detected.. and I was only saved by a family friend ..

                        • Abortions help keep the population under control. Though, I don't think that this whole "I have the right to do whatever I want with my body!" thing is legit. It's not just the woman's body, it's a body of a little human. I still think that abortions should be legal though.
