Thanks Lion! Given that it's an emotive and complex debate I consider a complex and moderate position, taking into account all the arguments is a reasonable position to take. As opposed to ignoring all the arguments on one side of the debate so we can paint the world in nice comforting black and white.
However for the record there was nothing lukewarm about MarxRaptor s position. He holds two mutually exclusive principles in high esteem and has decide which one takes precedent is all.
I'm not especially lukewarm on this either. My wife had to have an abortion for an ectopic pregnancy in January. I desperately wanted the child to live, but sadly it was never to be. So I had to take the decision (because she was a mess of emotional anguish, pain and drugs) to terminate the pregnancy. Since when we have had to read that sickening smug and self righteous "abortion is murder" slogan quite a lot. Kinda salts the wound each time I see it.
So yeah having killed what I arbiterily decided would have been my son, lukewarm is not an adjective I'd pick. But still, that's my own view and my own baggage which I have no right to project onto others and my strength of feeling does not make my emotional response an objective moral principle.
Interesting that you chose the word tolerance. I'd go with "respect" myself. Respect for another person's right to make their own decisions about their own bodies.
So thanks for your view. Feel free to write it on a piece of paper, roll it up, shove it up you sanctimonious arse and set fire to it.
