Pro abortion or not

IF a female is unable to determine whether or not she wishes to go to term with a pregnancy within that time period then the only other option for a late term pregnancy termination is due to deformity or the death of the foetus. surely this is sensible?
Incorrect, read the link.

That may be how the law is "intended to work", but it isn't how it works in reality.

Actually, what is "meant" to be done is what would be done for any premature birth - the baby should be placed in an incubator. But, again, this is rarely what happens.

FYI, men are people too:

Have you ACTUALLY read your links Danny?

They do nothing to bolster your argument of points.

Or are you referring to those babies that are forced to an early termination of pregnancy because they are deformed beyond help and as such are left with their parents to say goodbye because they would not survive whether full term or pre-mature?
Here ya go, watch this short documentary:

Better than the original editorial I read (although I'm happy to find it for you if you want?)

Wonderful! So you link propaganda from Knights of the Southern Cross (a catholic organisation) to bolster your argument?

ROFLOL

Do you have children Danny? Been in a relationship where your significant other was pregnant? Got your Gynaecology / Obstetrics doctorate?
If no then I really can only say that if you don't like abortion then don't have one...wait a bit...you ARE male, luckily for you you won't have to face that terrible decision.

And when you mean "living" are you referring to breathing only or was the foetus hooked up to an EEG machine?

The religious preoccupation with foetuses is worthy of ridicule since the majority of them bleat and complain about having to FEED, Medicate and support till death the result of babies that should die.

And you believe EVERYTHING The Age prints? Especially from a fucking priest?

No Danny boy, until you have children or finish your doctorate in Gynaecology / Obstetrics I don't think you have anything that smacks of an authority on the topic.

Yes men are people too, most of them are arseholes who will dump the woman when they find that she is pregnant (or any other superfluous reason they find convenient- usually religious) Nah mate. Whilst I deplore the use of abortions as a form of contraception, I think that the 71,000 annually is not too bad. Considering that at least three I am aware of are within my own family and I am privy to the reasons surrounding the decision to terminate the pregnancy; none of them happy nor easy.

That's just the point Danny. They lack facts; are just hearsay and the opinion of religious clergy and minions. I wonder why you waste your time.

This is my final word and only on the subject. I'll do whatever the fuck I want it's my body. If I do or do not want a baby I'll do that. If I wanted piercings or tattoos or to point my ears that'll happen. Nobody can try to tell me what I can do with my body. And if they do I'll go all Toph Bei Fong on their ass.
