Nope, I am a guy. That’s irrelevant though, I am still allowed to address the issue.

What kind of logic is this? That’s like saying we shouldn’t keep murder illegal because murders still occur.
Quote: They would! It would be just another black market. It's main customers would most likely be young girls whose parents would have a conniption fit if they knew their lily white daughter had sinned in such a way.
This is just an appeal to emotion, it has no bearing on whether abortion should be legal or not. There is a black market for child sex trafficking today; that however does not mean I think we should therefore legalize it, apparently you would think that given your lines of reasoning here.
Quote: All that abstinence talk didn't work?! Shocking. They'd go and get abortions on someone's kitchen table with a coat hanger and the towel that was just used for drying dishes, and either die there, or months later from an excruciating infection, but hey, they deserve it right! Fucking baby killers.
More pure emotionalism. Nobody forces the girls to have abortions, if you can’t accept the possible consequences of sex, don’t have sex.
Quote: Why is it wrong for me to base my concepts of morality on dead comedians, but okay and super duper for you to base yours on dead men from the dark ages and men that may or may not have even existed?I don’t base mine on any men from the dark ages thank you.

Sounds like just your opinion to me, can you logically prove this?
Quote: They're extremely valuable and freezable goo. If your morals stand in the way of something so scientifically valuable to the living members of the human race, then your ignorance is beyond measure.
The Nazis thought the same thing about Jews; they were sub-human beings who presented a great scientific value to the advancement of the human race. It’s a shame to see such viewpoints are still held today.
