But to play along with your scenario for a moment: What if both mother and father decided it was a bad time to become parents? Would you then allow both parents exercise the right to choice? Or is this hypothetical, and vague, "right" of fathers contingent upon them agreeing with your stance on abortions?

If you don't mind that your girlfriend killed your unborn child, I don't mind either..Smile
Speaking of "rights", doesn't an unborn child have rights too?

What about the rights of an ectopic pregnancy fetus? Should the mother be charged with murder because the little bastard is doomed anyway? There is very little logical reason to afford unborn life the same status and rights as an adult human, when you take reality and biology into account.

And that doesn't even mean jack fucking shit if the second they pop out of a cooch, they're not given a decent life with the basic necessities, let alone a loving, nurturing environment. You can't have it both ways, you either give them the kind of life you wanted, or shut the fuck up, you goddamn hypocritical twat.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
