My concern would be for the welfare of children born into terrible circumstances.

Sadly, there are going to be victims in this no matter what.

I think, perhaps, for once.....we agree on something, partially.

The people trying to interfere in other's lives and tell women what they can and cannot do with their bodies, even in cases of rape and incest, wont be around to help bring the children up.

 


Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

I agree that abortion is necessary. But the argument has lost sight.

Back when I was at school, when they talked about abortion, it was a somber subject, lot's of reasons where presented for and against it, and we came to the conclusion that it was the least bad option in many cases. Our elected members in parliament came to the same conclusion and abortion was legalised with strict rules around it.

Unfortunately, it seems times have changed and now the view is that abortion is simply a woman's right. Rape and poverty arguments are put forward, but all the women who I am aware of that have had one have clearly done it for convenience. Others have been forced into it by their partners, getting a woman to kill her unborn baby is almost if not as bad a rape, and an argument that's always overlooked.

From my perspective, people have oversimplified the argument to only say "It's a woman's right/choice". People were having parties when they passed abortion laws in ireland. This isn't respecting the sanctity of life in my opinion.

Now there's actresses in America calling for a sex strike to get men to pay attention. That's ridiculous. If you are passing a law to allow abortions on the basis that you'll get to have sex with your partner again then it's not taking the debate seriously.

I wish instead of people being so hysterical about how evil the other side were in this debate they could realise that both sides are compassionate, and there are no winners.

I don't think the real world allows for any ideals in this.
I respect all sides of this argument unless they are based on religious dogma or political squabbling.

All I can say is that as a parent, I could not be part of or recommend abortion but do recognise that others in different circumstances might see it as the least worst option.

Well its very simple: He campaigned on it, taking a very hard line.

Also his additions to the supreme court have led to this moment, as religious nutjobs finally believe now that they have a supreme court which will overturn Roe Vs Wade.

I'm against abortion.

I would compromise on six weeks as that's before a heartbeat. This is the nature of the law that's passed.

In 2017, approximately 206,880 abortions took place in Great Britain, up from 202,469 in 2016, 203,096 in 2015, 201,868 in 2014, and 202,746 in 2013.

Approximately 20% of all pregnancies in Great Britain (excluding spontaneous miscarriages) currently end in abortion.

The highest abortion rates* belong to Merseyside (20.0), London (19.7+1), and Greater Manchester (19.7); the lowest abortion rates belong to Bath, Gloucestershire, Swindon and Wiltshire (12.6), Derbyshire (13.0), and East Anglia (13.2).

Not in my name.

6 weeks?

Given the state of some of the posts on this website I reckon there's a strong case for extending it to about 70 years!

So what he campaigned on it! The state of Alabama democratically came to this decision. I know you don't like democracy when it's not in your favour – such as Brexit and Trump – but it's how civilised societies work.

Funny how you seem to think Christians are "nutjobs"...

recently the fertility statistics for Japan nosedived.

the whole japanese race could go the same way as the Dodo, the white rhino, the Panda .....highly endangered.

and where the japanese go, the rest of us will often follow. Sky high house prices, elderly population, the young adults remaining childless and often single.

and then the gaps in the labour market make mass immigration inevitable. Who will help you lug that piano up the stairs ?

Alabama are doing this for 2 reasons:

1 - They have a supporter of this extreme restriction on abortions in the President.
2 - Trump's supreme court picks will tow the right wing religious zealot line.

Funny how you put words into people's mouths/keyboards.

I didnt say all Christian's are nutjobs, I said religious nutjob tea party freedom caucus folks are the ones trying to tell women what to do with their bodies.

I'm torn. I think abortion is abhorrent and should be only for the most extreme of circumstances. A life is a life.

But i'm also aware that the world is grossly overpopulated and can't handle the amount of people in it.

Dunno.

(Not much contribution to the discussion, I know. But meh.)

If Trump wins in 2020 and Ruth Ginsburg succumbs then it'll be another social conservative and you lot will be throwing so many paddies that the Irish will start thinking they can fly.
