I lol at your signature every time I see it x

Best: handmaid's tale, othello, the penelopiad, the glass menagerie, Hedda gabler Worst: to kill a mockingbird. Hands down my most disliked text.

I liked Dubliners too. Look into The Complete Short Stories of Ernest Hemingway.

But then you don't have much time to go over the dot points so hmmm

You say you're taking it in. But you persist in calling a foetus a baby and using the term "murder" although, by definition, a foetus cannot be murdered. What abortion is doing is terminating a foetus. Killing it. But this poses no ethical problem, as I have written before. In the womb of a...

What about hetero couples that decide they do not want babies, or hetero couples who are biologically inviable for procreation? If heteros like these are not threats to humanity, then gay couples aren't either.

It is not murdered. You are willfully ignoring the logical reasoning why it isn't I and others have provided multiple times during this thread. The contents of her womb being killed poses no ethical problems. Maybe it doesn't sit well with your personal morals but for other women it is an...

You are right it is a burden but never did I disregard adoption as an option. That is a different matter that, for some people, is the right choice. But for others abortion would be, if they had the choice. And that is what I am enthusing about: the choice! People who cannot biologically...

k you've convinced me But ix3powerrangers, you have not. Spouting facts is not supporting your argument. It adds no worth to gush things like "It can already suck its thumb!" As there are two distinct entities in one body, the mother and foetus, one has more worth than the other. Or are you...

Objection! Relevance

I don't necessarily think you can generalise like that. Of course we first think that dealing with the product of rape is "worse" or "harder" than dealing with a product of a "drunken weekend at the Gold Coast" but there are so many individual circumstances such as wealth and especially...

Why should we trust you? I don't know the veracity of this statement. It seems typical of emotionalising an argument. Give me a statistic. Quotes are meaningless as there will always be extremes and these quotes may not illustrate are variety of opinions of "doctors, nurses who have witnessed...
