Originally posted by Sir Krustin: Hunter and Willow: I don't tell a woman what to do with her body - she has already made the decision when she had sex. What we're arguing here is whether or not someone should suffer the consequences of their actions. That must be comforting words to a woman who was raped or was unlucky with her contraceptive! Can we then assume some other things as well? Oh please! Bardan's comment on "puffy ankles" may in fact be somewhat offensive, but it really is the crux of the argument - women today don't want an inconvenience in their lives - I call this "The McDonalds generation - have it your way" An inconvinience? Yeah that must be it! All women who decide to have an abortion base their decision on physical strain and appearance. I take it no man has ever argued for an abortion. Generalization is IMHO not a very good argument. I must say it is a wonder I decided to give birth since I got pregnant during my university studies. Terminating a human life - legally or illegally - should not be the end result of a discussion about how inconvenient said pregnancy is.

Note: The increase of abortions is not from career women getting pregnant. Rather it is youths using abortion as a contraception. IMO that is not "advisable" (in lack of stronger word ).
