Well there's one way we differ, you care more about a potential, not an actual person, but a couple of cells you would need a microscope to see, is more important and deserving of concern than an already living breathing human being who may even already have children to take care of. You would prefer to deprive this living breathing feeling human being and her existing children of her life, for the sake of a non living non breathing non feeling handful of cells.

Don Dan Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Since the Abortion Act came into effect in 1968 – 6 months after it received Royal Assent. Since then, a staggering 9,900,961* unborn babies have lost their lives to abortion across England, Wales, and Scotland — in 2020, more than one baby was lost to abortion every two and a half minutes; 25 lives were ended every hour. Over 1 in 4 (25.2%) pregnancies in England and Wales now end in abortion, according to the most recent Government statistics. The number of abortions in England and Wales reached a record high with 210,860 taking place in 2020, while the number of terminations performed in Scotland was the second-highest on record at 13,815. This significant rise in abortions accompanied Governments introducing a temporary measure in March 2020 allowing ‘DIY’ home abortions in England and Wales, and Scotland. Abortion statistics released by the Department of Health and Social Care show that 209,917 abortions were performed for English and Welsh residents in 2020. This is 2,533 more than in 2019, which was until now the highest number on record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I suspect you do. We were all potential lives at one point and non living non breathing cells too that’s you and me. That can’t be denied but abortion takes away that potential life and the cells don’t get a chance to breathe. Are you happy to encourage and help that potential life to die? I’m not.

The more we learn about an unborn baby and its development makes me uneasy about . However I do not like its political divide and I certainly am suspicious of political gain on the subject. It definitely is not just about a woman's choice though. It cannot be . It doesn't really matter if you approve or not, it's going to happen anyway. It's up to society to decide whether to support vulnerable young women or not. I know which society I want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm uncomfortable about abortion for a variety of reasons. Some I admit are spiritual although I'm not religious. However it cannot be black and white. But it has to be said that some see it as a form of contraception. I also disagree that its only a question for women and I regard myself as very defensive of their rights. I think earlier in the thread @Cade said a grown up conversation was needed. That sadly won't happen if people are zealots about it. Not a dig at you but the rights of everyone in cases of abuse or rape must at least be equal. What I would say is you cannot refuse to set laws because people may break them.

My reasoning is with the defenceless children or cells or never was which is a strange way to describe potential life. You are encouraging and facilitating the death of these living growing cells that will never get a chance to live a life if they are aborted. Why would the the birth of another child have an devastating effect on already born children? We in the west live in a society (in the UK) where the state provides support to families. We can argue that it’s never enough help but there is still support from the state for families. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malinga the Swinga Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Great decision by the pro life fanatics in US. Presumably they'll ban bullets as they kill people and people have a right to life, they'll stop attacking their enemies in Afghanistan, Iraq and other Middle Eastern countries by way of drones as these enemies have a 'right to life' and they will have to abandon the death penalty as the condemned have. 'right to life'. No more switching off life support in hospitals for those in comas or who have no brain activity as they have right to life and future medical research may enable them to recover. An unforgivable decision, made by the terminally stupid in defence of beliefs that a 'magic man', who never ever existed, encourages his supporters to follow. I like US in many areas, sports, technology development and research to name but a few, but the downright insanity that the right wing fundamentalists have enacted makes me scared for the future. These ***** have weapons that could wipe out mankind and given the right scenario, they'll use it in defence of a Constitution that isn't fit to be used to wipe shit off a diarrhea ridden monkey.
