Which doesn't detract from the fact that abortion as we're discussing it is nothing to do with the natural processes beyond our control, but about elective abortions for reasons we would all count as unjust, if we viewed life beginning at conception.(October 18, 2011 at 4:52 am)fr0d0 Wrote: Women don't do that. Nature does it for them. They are not killing deliberately.sorry fr0d0....the abrahamic religions have decreed that women are evil and do this type of thing by having periods...I think I red somewhere that this is WHY they suffer every month.
I assume that you don't agree with me on that (where a person begins), and that's fine. I only require my right to my opinion on this. I don't require you to think as I do.

No ...stop trying to be smart..(it makes you look silly) So you are advocating that you allow a parasite/ parasitic/ bacterium/ virus/ fungi to go rampaging through your body and do nothing about it?? (except pray to a non-existent deity?)
You were likening a pregnancy to a parasite, in order to de-value that unborn person. I don't think that holds water, because if it did, you would view all dependancies as lesser persons, with less value than other persons.

That's the natural process of life and death we all live with. If I really thought about it I may have a conscience about it. Ethically I can't justify treating other life forms differently to how I would expect to be treated.
Animals are food. I eat animals. As part of a 'civilized' society I condone farming methods I would find ethically repulsive if I thought about them. That doesn't make them right.
