Oooh, snap! Wait, that was at me. Darn.
Surgery is not a bad way to go. Get your tubes tied, vasectomy, no babies! I heard of a doctor that got sued because he tube tied a bunch of girls when they came in for their third abortion in so many months. Non-consentual surgery is bad. Before we get back onto abortion, the worst part about surgery is the needle with the novicane. Hurts like a B*tch! Anyway, abortions are not that good for you, but neither are babies. I have chosen the chemical solution to all of this. What do you guys think of that? |

Chemicals are pretty bad for you too, especially the stuff like Norplant, as I have read. I suppose vasectomy is the way to go if you don't want children, but even that isnt 100% guaranteed, as the knot can loosen over time....

Well then better just fill in that crack with cement and seal that puppy up for good then. Because abstinence isnt 100% effective either in a human population, as the will can loosen over time... or over a glass of wine...

I wasn't saying much except facts about contraceptives, Rex, and that they sometimes have drastic side-effects.

It's true. If I have a cigarette while on this stuff, there is somthing like a 90% chance that I will get have an anurism and die.
Of course, the nicotine distilled out of a single cigarette is enough to give a heart attack to anyone. |

For those who think abortion is fine, are you OK, then, with sex-selection abortion? (i.e., if you want one sex and you're carrying the other, you abort) I would assume that if you think a woman has the right to choose abortion, then sex-selection abortion would be fine with you.

My personal view on this - abortion should primarily be the woman's right to choose. Dissatisfaction with the foetus's sex may be a rather bad reason to have an abortion, but ultimately it's the woman's choice that matters most. Late abortions generally require special conditions to be performed. However, prohibitting women to have early abortions because they have the "wrong" reasons is not the way to go. The woman's choice should be respected (at least legally) no matter how stupid her reasons are. So am I OK with sex-selection? No. Does that affect my stance on abortion? No, it doesn't.

And it is a woman's right to choose, but give me a break. If you are going through all this work in the first place, are you really going to be upset if your baby isn't the correct gender? If you want a certian gender that much (and are prepared enough to take care of a child) why don't you just adopt? |

Interestingly,most Westerners who adopt prefer girls- supposedly less trouble- - which matches up with the surplus Third-World babies available. p.s.- as someone who's been married fifteen years- it's never financially feasible |

Exactly. Damned Jews. [/sarcasm]
I gotta echo pretty much what Jon wrote with regards to sex-selected abortion. I will support a woman's right to make that decision, but personally, I think that's a pretty piss-poor reason to get an abortion. And having had one or two myself, I know that it's not the easiest or most comfortable procedure to undergo, so I don't know why anyone would want to get their insides sucked out simply because they didn't get their sex of choice.

Unless you are God almighty Ri, do not pre-suppose to judge the thoughts of others ... less thou be making an idolatory of yourself? is that not sin? But since you have previously argued animal sex as the equivalent of human ... i'd suggest you re-think either your argument strategy, or your take on pre-supposing what others' either think, or what actually their argument is. or, failing that- be open to the charges made against you previously, that you are not playing straight games ... takes ye pick, Ri - but one thing you cannot do, is play all three at once. Choose your ground and stand on it - fair-play - attempt to twist logic or agument on fanciful arguments or logic or combinations of 'em ... ..then accept you will flounder on such. Best, CC |

wotcha Lief.
The thing i find dis-ingenuous with Rian's question, is the continous attempt at logic that is to imply by a vague association one ideal with another completely seperate one, with a very skewed and deliberate intention of deflecting a problematical ethic or question. I guess, in truth my main problem with it, is that it is so crudely done ... it rather insults our collective intelligence. ................................... |
