Pro abortion or not

[Ben Davis]

Hitchens was anti-abortion, and for good reasons. For every advancement in our understanding of this process as a whole the cut off point at which a woman can go for abortion is restricted.

To assume it will not be restricted further, or even loosened, is silly and a delusion that people tell themselves to abuse our sexual freedoms so flagrantly and with complete lack of moral responsibility and intellectual dishonesty.

I am just making my views known and I am not singling out you specifically if it comes across as overly aggressive. I am the only anit- abortionist so far, little bit unhappy with that

Way to misrepresent Hitchens! He was pro-choice and made that clear on many occasions. He was realistic in stating that society needs to balance protection of the rights of the 'child' and the mother; it's the definition of 'child' to which he referred in this comment. What he meant is that the legal limit for abortions should be dependent on the best information that medical science can give us on the development & viability of the unborn child. This is poles apart from the unthinking, blanket, 'aborshunz is bad' approach of the pro-life lobbies.

You should replay this vid with your anti-abortion lenses off and listen to what he's actually saying.
