not all suck, but some do because people are evil. i dont understand how people can just use others to get what they want without caring
Well ofcourse.. People are not always kind to one another and are very greedy... It is to be expected.
People suck.....thats why I support abortion. I dont want an innocent child to have experience people or maybe even to grow up & become one of those mean people. There are few good ones left it seems
In general, I support the right for someone to choose whether they wany to abort or not. I think it's arbitrary that pro-lifers choose to draw the line at a fertilized egg, and in many cases they [pro-lifers] can't defend their position beyond saying "it's just wrong," or "ending human life is wrong." Of course, the former response cannot be adequately exemplified, and the latter response is inevitably met with a consideration of at what point one should consider human "life" valuable: why a fertilized egg, why not a sperm, etc? (Note, a fertilized egg will require a lot of intervention to become a developed baby, as will a sperm. Neither will become human life through some moderately self-sustaining process). I also think that people who say aborting in the early stages of pregnancy is "murder" are using "loaded language," as iago would put it, and are more venting an irrational hatred rather than thinking logically.
Aside from *all of that*, it's obvious that abortion is an issue of major controversy. The public is not even close to being able to decide on whether or not it is morally wrong, or in what cases it is morally wrong.
For that reason alone, to legislate based on a moral opinion that a strong majority of people do not hold, would be absolutely ludicrous. I think it's funny that conservatives in general are "pro-life," because in a way their opinion is being tugged in opposite directions between two loyalties: one is non-secular, and one is the conservative ideology. In a way it's hypocritical -- they are
pro-government intervention.... and Crazed always talks about "liberal hypocrisy." Realize most of these labels are political propaganda planted in your minds
. Note: I am not particularly "left-wing."
**However**, I feel that aborting a baby in late stages of development for minor birth defects is fairly outrageous, and that anyone who does so is disgustingly self-centred and superficial. Whether or not I think it should be stopped is something I would have to consider. My gut reaction is "yes," but then again, it's not good to form legislative opinions based on immediate emotional reactions.
