... parry ... thrust!
A review of medical evidence by a group of researchers in California concludes that fetuses likely don't feel pain until the final months of pregnancy, a powerful challenge to abortion opponents who hope that discussions about fetal pain will make women think twice about ending pregnancies. And just now a mass of fascistic christers busily judging their neighbors and legislating morality stand slack-jawed in disbelief at this masterful refutation of everything they believe. Well, maybe not. But following the logic of the counter-argument I'm not a murderer if I anesthetize you first. Neither side aims to or can resolve the fundamental issue. Fetal pain is a desparate attempt by the anti-abortion crowd to 'win the hearts and minds' of those who have been brainwashed into believing that abortion is a rights and not a moral issue. The thing is that people are much more responsive to pain than to philosophical questions. Even a godless atheist like me recognizes that morality is the real issue. posted by Dennis on 08.24.05 at 07:19 AM

The hair-splitting that people do to justfy killing their babies makes them ever more repugnant. Let them keep coming up with this crap.. they are trashing themselves... Jerry · August 24, 2005 09:09 AM Sure, if murder is a moral issue, then you're right, it's a moral issue. byrd · August 24, 2005 01:13 PM EVERY issue is a moral issue, one way or another. Raging Bee · August 24, 2005 03:16 PM I continue to say that it's often more complicated than black v. white.
What about someone who is rapped? Should they be forced to carry the baby as a victim? Young women with pregnancies carry strong stigma's, added to the difficulty of carrying a child anyway, it makes it difficult to attend even basic schooling. What if the victim is too young to even succesfully carry a child? Look, I don't particalurly like the idea of abortions. I have friends who have gone through them, and it has greatly hurt them physically and emotionally. I could also say they same thing for a few unexpectant mothers. However MORALITY is always somewhat subjective, and each potential mother will have to find what is right for her. alchemist · August 24, 2005 03:19 PM |
