Whoops. I'm going to disagree and piss people off. I'm pro-life. Yeah, pro-life in that way that I think people have a right to life. Do I think people should be forced to carry to term? No. However, I do not think that all instances of abortion are that black and white. A man should have some say in it, assuming he came about his fatherhood in a legal, non-violent way. Hey, if the girl wants an abortion and the father is willing to let her sign over parental rights and raise the kid, maybe there should be a discussion. At any rate, the bottom line is that everyone has a right to an opinion. While I do not disagree with abortion, it has to be said that some other opinions actually have very sound reasoning backing them up. A father has a sentimental right to his offspring, same as a mother. A fetus may just be a fetus to me or you, but it is really viewed as a human by others. I would feel pretty uncomfortable about it too if I did not understand the basic mechanics of fetal development. Anyway, I have never seen Adrian write anything that is the type of "Pro-life" that we all so hate. I believe his position lies in father's rights, which I think are greatly ignored.
If only more fundies tried these arguments, maybe I wouldn't be so inclined to hate them.
Anyway, I'm not sure where I stand on most cases of abortion- but I am of the opinion that a woman who is raped should be able to have an abortion if she wants, and women whose lives are threatened by a pregnancy should also be able to have abortions. So, Rick Santorum=nutball.
What falls away is always, and is near.
Also, I am not pretending to be female, this profile picture is my wonderful girlfriend. XD
