Abortion

And your post wasn't flamebait? No facts, no links, just a void of many words chosen to incite.

Yeah, 'cause I've seen those abortion-hawkers, shamelessly waving their signs at passing motorists. "GET YOUR ABORTION HERE!"

Not.

Reality sucks. Especially when it contradicts our cherished ideas.

And the missing 1% must have been the studies' margin of error. That means it might also only be 98% who don't exercise! Stop twisting the facts, Chris!

The missing 1% represents vampire and/or zombie activity. Or so I'm told.

I just know the anti-abortion activists are hands down, the nuttiest people in the 'verse.

Put them against the muslim extremists, and it would be an end-all to wars and terrorism.

You're right. They go around bombing clinics, sending terrorist threats and shooting people. They're that nutty. Oh wait! I thought you said antiabortion activists! My bad.

I suppose suggesting that women who don't want babies should either use effective birth-control or just not have sex is probably not going to get much of a hearing.

Okay, I usually avoid these threads but I may as well weigh in here.

I'm Irish. As in from Ireland. As in from a country where abortion is still illegal. Abortion can only happen with a doctor's consent if the mother's life is in danger, and even then the paperwork is hell.

Does that mean I live on some paradise island where babies are never aborted? No. It means the opposite. It means that any woman who has to abort her baby for any reason does so without any support from the state. It means she joins the thousands of women every year who go for a "brief holiday" to England, or, if she can't afford that, she tries to abort it herself, or get some backstreet butcher to do it for her. I don't think I need to go into the horrendous injuries that happen as a result.

If she can't do that, she has the baby. No matter how young she is, no matter how small a community she lives in, no matter if the father raped her, has left her to raise the baby alone or insists that there is no possible way it could be his kid. She becomes a mother. That or some scared teenager dies in childbirth alone. I'm not exaggerating. Probably the most famous case here was Anne Lovett, a 15 year old girl who died on the 31st of January 1984. She'd gone to a "grotto" (an outdoor Catholic shrine to the Virgin Mary) and died of exposure and bleeding, along with her baby, after four hours in the cold and the rain. That's the most famous case, but it's not the only one.

I get why people object to abortion, but it's not a black and white issue. There are no easy answers when it comes to this. I won't say I like the thought of a life - any life - being ended before it's begun, but I recognise that sometimes it's the kindest thing to do. Because much as I dislike the thought of abortion, I hate the thought of a fifteen year old girl taking a pair of scissors from the kitchen drawer and walking out into the dark alone a whole lot more.
