Abortion: 10 years as an atheist and I still don't get it

If that's your position then you're not pro-choice.  You fall closer to pro-life on this spectrum.  Well... provided I'm correctly interpreting your grammatically garbled paragraph.

"...is when there's nothing wrong with the child, no compelling reason other than the halth of the child to abort..."

Uh... what?  Is the child halthy or not?  There's nothing wrong with the child other than its halth?  What else do you evaluate in a fetus?  Its math test scores?

The pro-choice position is that a woman can abort her child for absolutely any reason she sees fit.  It's called an elective abortion. Welcome to the debate, here's your introductory pamphlet.

Quote:IOW, when no one is looking to justify an abortion, lol.

-and even in that situation, it's still justifiable in principle as a policy of avoidance.

So now you are in favor of allowing a halthy fetus to be aborted?  What the fuck are you even saying?

Quote:If you're looking for someone to convince you to have an abortion, then so be it - but if what you wanted to know was how abortion could be justified..that question has already been answered.

That question was never asked. Remember, this is "sometimes" vs "always."

Quote:It doesn't follow that the mere existence of justifications for abortion will convince you or anyone else to have one, and if you don't want to have one..-that- problem is easily solved.  Don't.

K.
Jesus is like Pinocchio.  He's the bastard son of a carpenter. And a liar. And he wishes he was real.
