I suppose, but technically we could have shared nothing and still ended up in the same spots. I'd bet that we disagreed on a fair share. Like, do you want both pot and abortions to be legal like I do?

You can't eat dead babies!

ABE: Wow, what a way to spend my passing of the 5000 post mark Edited by Catholic Scientist, : No reason given.

One one end, yeah, I wouldn't want someone forcing me to go through with a pregnancy I didn't want to either But I get what your sayin'. And I do think abortion is immoral.Still, I don't think that is sufficient basis for criminalizing abortion. I think it should be legal, and that doesn't force me to view it as moral. We also all began as a part of our mother's body. All in all, the life of the baby is a matter of the mother's choice, period. Legislation would be on that choice. I don't find a compelling reason to criminalize abortion, so I don't think it should be illegal.Too, if she's desperate enough, she could just go engage in some heavily drunken sidewalk bellyflops, or whatever. For that, I do think there's the benefit of having it be a medical procedure that comes with the legality.So there I have it, no reason for it to be illegal and reason for it to be legal. Lucky you, but I can imagine scenarios where it'd be better if someone did not go through with their pregnancy.

This isn't an abortion thread. If you want to argue about abortion, and I will, then reply to this in an appropriate existing thread.I'll supply some meat to get started on:My position is that abortion should be legal regardless of me considering it immoral. I assume you're disagreeing with me on the legality. "Personhood" is an important determiniation to make for this topic. We'll need to get that figured out. What is in God's eyes is irrelevant to the determination of the legality.
