Ha ha, fair point well made sir.
I imagine the reasoning behind this would be: If you're going to get an abortion, fine, get one. But if you're choosing to HAVE the kid then you HAVE to look after it, which includes taking care of it throughout the entire pregnancy.
Solid points made on both sides so far. I like it.
I'm surprised that no one has really delved into the whole "when does life begin?" connundrum. Only one person even mentioned it in passing. but what about the fact that if the fetus was deemed to be 'a person' and therefore entitled to protection from selfish irresponsible mothers, what would that then do to existing abortion laws? How could a law protect the fetus in one sense but not in the other? Is it possible?
