Yeh nice reasoning.......


Well if Human state and person is different then I will say that they are a person when they come out of the mother at time of birth.

So therefore she could abort anytime before actual birth and in my eyes would not be "murder".

No, really, I have to agree with him. You seem to have some good points, but you are often expressing them so poorly that I cannot decide which side of the fence you're on.

Also, to go back to devonin's statement, about the phrasing of the question being wrong: I feel like the question is incredibly straightforward, but any debate involving something like abortion has the unfortunate side effect of attracting people who will simply give their opinion on the rightness or wrongness of the act and don't answer the question.

I'll answer the topic question: No, I don't think the government should stop abortions. I think there should be some kind of regulation in place, but it is hard to regulate what a woman can and cannot do with her body.

Completely outlawing abortion opens the window for women dying in alley-way abortion "clinics", raped women having no alternative to carrying an unwanted child, and endangering the lives of mothers as well as having no option when one learns the child being carried will be unable to survive once it is born.

That's not to say I support abortion. It is a touchy subject and I do believe that there are alternatives in almost any situation, but there are also those situations I can't even begin to put myself in and THAT is what tells me I have no right to decide for the rest of the country.
