This is a key point over the whole abortion debate: The woman's choice matters.

Which it shouldn't. Replacing ethical systems of right and wrong with one where all choices are equally nice is a breathtakingly vulgar instance of letting your mind be molded by economic conditions. It's consumer capitalism as applied to life or death.

"Hmm, do I want to choose Corn Flakes or Raisin Bran after I choose whether to terminate my parasite or keep my baby?"

Choice nothing. People need to do what's right, by reason or by force.

Like I said, I'm not using the term parasite under it's actual definition. Think of it as a metaphor. A bum stuck in your house and living off your money and food without giving anything back in return. He can be considered a parasite...even though he's a human being. The owners of the host have the right to have him gotten rid of.

An unwanted fetus is exactly like the bum who won't leave. Thus also a parasite.

And if you wanna talk about jews, make an Israel thread...and soon someone's going to compare abortion doctors to Hitlers...

^^ Tell me then, why should being forced to give birth to an unwanted kid be the right thing to do?

Rott@ Correction: What YOU think is right and think other people should be forced to do. Just because you keep saying the same thing over and over doesnt make it true.

And I think this thread has reached the end of its useful life.

Locking.
