Re: Should Abortion Be Legal?
Says kalinka on February 5, 2008
Of course abortion should be legal. To decide otherwise is to force women into unwanted motherhood, and to take away their most basic right, to determine what goes on within their own bodies. Abortion is the last resort of a woman whose life is spinning out of control due to an unwanted pregnancy. Frankly, a woman who really wants an abortion will find a way, legal or not. Drive it into the back streets and you condemn woman to injury, infection and possible death. You make orphans of the children she may already have. You make unwilling and scared mothers out of women too young to bring up a child.
To those of you who would provide abortion only in the circumstances of rape or potential maternal death: do you mean to punish women for being sexual beings? Because the foetus is qualitively no different in either case.
I would suggest to pro-life men that they either become fastidious about contraception, or that they practice what they freely preach to others and abstain from sexual intercourse.
