Zika virus/microcephaly/abortion/Brazil

Definitely. If there's a medical problem, abortion should be legal.

BTW, I wouldn't jump to conclusions that Zika is causing the deformities. Other factors may be involved. It will be interesting to see how far it spreads, as that will be a clue to the cause.

You're correct. No conformation evidence yet, only a link. Will that derail the debate? Will the powers in charge state that until cause and effect evidence exists there is no need to consider a change or expand the discussion to other birth defects?

We should operate on the understanding that we are discussing courses of action that should be considered if one is established.
Obviously if evidence is uncovered it isn't causing the deformities it becomes a moot point.

To be fair I don't think anyone here would assume otherwise but you never know.
