Poll: Abortion for minors.

[Violet]

You're now talking about something seemingly unrelated to the point. That is parents forcing something horrible onto their child. So you're saying the bill gives parents the power to abuse their children legally? What about the parents guidance to protect their children from the harm you describe? Doesn't that work both ways? We are, after all, talking about legal minors here, who society has decided are not yet adult and deemed not mature enough to survive in the big bad world away from their parents. Of course all cases are different, and I wouldn't like to generalise personally.

It does give them the power to do so, and it is something horrible to be forced into. If a girl will not otherwise tell her parents that she is pregnant: those parents were not worth telling in the first place. That is why this bill is wrong... because it lets bad parents stop an abortion from happening. Society's idea of 'adult' is wrong, Fr0do... and in it being wrong: millions of 'children' suffer and/or are held back from success. Nobody... ever... has... the... right... to... do... that. Not one person... not 10 people... not a society... and not gods.

So absolving yourself from your moral responsibility (for arguments sake) makes you less evil than someone who would seek to abuse a child? I don't think that's logically sound. You should always take the responsibility you own. Laws are generally formulated to result in a least harm scenario. I think you're protestations are far outweighed by the positives so far.

A person who admits to their faults, their crimes, their accidents... that person is worth a thousand who would lie about their faults, justify their crimes, and deny their accidents. The former is humble... it is truthful... while their faults, crimes, and accidents may be terrible: those people are not truly evil. It is those from the latter group, those like Hitler... like Stalin... like Osama Bin Laden... those people are truly evil.

Laws are generally formulated to result in a least harm scenario? What was American slavery again? What is this anti-abortion bill? How about the death penalty, and torture laws? And anti-women's rights laws that are in so many Muslim countries right now? Least harm? Really?
