I'm only against uneccessary abortions. Like women who claim they're "not ready" and "unwanted pregnancies" and so on. I agree that in some cases abortions are sadly neccessary, but that abortions should be limited to neccessary reasons.

I am totally against abortion on a healthy foetus. People use the the argument that it doesn't have a brain in the first trimester but that doesn't change the fact that you're halting the embryological developmental process that would have led to it developing a brain and later on life. Abortion is murder in my eyes if either the foetus is healthy and/or it is being aborted for no apparant reason.

I think that pro-lifers and pro-choicers are both wrong and are simply engaging in a profitless battle instead of trying to hold reasoned debates. Whilst they are some stupid/ignorant pro-lifers they are stupid/ignorant pro-choicers. This is true of every ideology. There are generally stupid people who jump the gun and rush in without stopping to actually read into anything regarding said ideology/viewpoint.

I must say, I don't think that I've ever seen anybody stupid enough to compare Abortion to the Holocaust or Genocide. All I have to say is: ... 8O

Anyway, MissPickwickian, I agree with your points and I respect your opinion.

1. go to cafepress.com and search "I am a survivor of the American Holocaust" or "abortion+genocide." You will be appalled.

Also, at an evangelical festival held on the ANNIVERSARY OF THE INFAMOUS "CRYSTAL NIGHT" WINDOW-SMASHING RIOTS OF 1938, Jerry Falwell (this was a few years ago) said, "[Abortion] is the worst Holocaust to come out of any nation since the dawn of time." During the Bosnia crisis of the '90s, pro-lifers carried signs that said "stop the REAL genocide."

2. Thankee :wink:

If they're American Conservative Fundamental/Fanatic Christians then that explains everything. Whilst I am a Christian too, people such as these annoy me greatly to no end.

Here in Amrrrrricuh we are a little freer with the WWII analogies than you probably are in the UK. Brits have a tangible sense of how awful Hitler was from the Blitz, and how hard it would be to match him, I guess.

Jokingly, yes.

The whole abortion-autism thing is the main reason I Haven't Decided Yet. There are some genetic defects that are early and awful death sentences (Tay-Sachs disease, which renders children severely ret*d and, in the vast majority of cases, dead by age four, comes to mind). However, I have been hearing about couples aborting Down Syndrome and cystic fibrosis babies. This strikes me as horrifically unfair; these days, most people with Down Syndrome live happy if sheltered lives, and advances in medical science have increased lifespan and quality of life in cystic fibrosis patients. Abortion due to genetic defect is a complicated issue. In many cases, it is actually the humane option, but it always has the potential to be hideously misused (insert grim Nazi allusion here*). Oh, where do we draw the line? Case-sensitive ethics are a torture to the thinking man.

This thread is to my liking: lots of interesting opinions, not a lot of screaming and ranting.

*of course, the "suffering of victims" qualification is missing, so we cannot make this comparison without a slippery-slope argument or a qualifier.


I don't place the blame in abortion, I place the blame in NT society which calls us "defective" out of fear of our superior mental abilities and unwillingness to submit to their social system... If NT's could get over their fear of us, and there were no more Jenny McCarthy-types around, my opinion on abortion would change. It's not so much equating it to genocide, but instead I'm merely trying to fight for the very survival of our race, which once a definitive genetic link is discovered, will be under threat of a silent extinction like never before under current NT society...

shawnwilliam you really need to get out and see a bit more of the world. You make it all sound so simple when the decision to abort is generally a heart wrenching one. Please do not link abortion to murder because it clearly is not on so many levels. The OP posted a very sensible post to try and make sense of some of the arguments put by extreme pro-lifers and the idea was that this should not turn into another vitriol laced thread.


Im entitled to my opinion so back off! :x im not in a good mood. dont tell me what to do.



well please dont write such uninformed clap trap. MissP has posted a well thought out response to the spin of pro lifers, I suggest that you read it and learn something.


seriously, if you don't like what I say, then don't read it. I'm not gonna take a lecture from you.

So, every time a woman has her period, she's a murderer? Or every time a lady miscarries - knowingly or not - she's a murderer? Because that's terminating a biological process that would otherwise lead to a brain developing and eventually life. And by the way, nobody has an abortion for no apparent reason. There's always about a million different reasons why it's the best option should a lady go down that path. How dare you judge those who you do not know!

Ahh, ladies. We're doomed from the start! Damn you, Eve, and your inability to resist temptation! The curse of women is upon us all! :roll:

That is the worst argument ever. A period isn't halting the development of the embryo becuase that process hasn't started yet. This process does not begin until a sperm and an egg combine. Duh.

And a miscarriage is the baby dying and is therefore not the same thing as abortion. Just like dying isn't the same as being killed. :roll:

Biology. You should study it. And don't claim that you know what you're talking about becuase if you have then that is just confirming that you are willingly distorting/ignoring evidence to support your views.

An excuse is an excuse and is no substitute for the truth. There are plenty of unneccessary reasons just like there are plenty of neccessary reasons.

The resisting of temptation was from Adam, it seems that Eve was just plain naive.

And, a part from Eve, another woman gave a lot ot trouble, Lilith, her greatest sin was that she wanted equality, she wanted to be on top while being intimate with Adam, God banned her from paradise, and she became a demon. God regreted to have made Lilith from the dust just as Adam and he decided to use one of Adam's ribs instead, however, it turned out... well, look how the world has become ;)

:lol: Too right!

Sling, please understand sarcasm. Your arguments are ignorant of the situation and unless you've been there, you really can't comment. No woman endures that pain for no reason. End of.

And Greenblue, thanks for the theology lesson, but I was honestly just being a bit sarcastic and silly... should I edit and cry "Woe are we woman, for the sin of Eve AND Lillith BECAUSE of Adam!'? ;)
