Just like we know that abortion and death penalty are immoral. Future generations will look back at us and look at us as barbarians.

- simoncion 11y ago> Just like we know that abortion and death penalty immoral. Heh. It's fairly clear that the justice system arrives at the wrong conclusion too often for it to be trusted to determine that a person is both irredeemable and needs to be killed. Even a cursory search of relevant medical literature reveals that there are situations in which abortion of a pregnancy is the safest and most correct course of action. This topic is substantially less clear-cut.
- Diamons 11y agoI am not 100% against abortion, especially when it comes to the health of the mother. I still think it's barbaric but it's the best option we have with the technology and treatments available. However I am against unregulated abortions. If an abortion is to be done, it must be under the guidance and consultation of a medical doctor.
- simoncion 11y agoIt's a pity that you're now outside of the edit window for your original comment. You could have taken a second stab at saying what you meant to say, rather than something pithy. :) > However I am against unregulated abortions. The sentiment "Abortions are immoral" is a significant driver of efforts to force all abortions to be illegal and -thus- unregulated. You might think about expressing your stance in a more nuanced fashion in the future.
- paulddraper 11y agoStrawman. You are referring to a tiny fraction of abortions. Only a few abortion critics oppose abortions to save the mother's life.
- simoncion 11y ago> Strawman. Nope. See my conversation with Diamons to be enlightened.
