Just a general comment...I'm very proud of you all, being able to discuss such a sensitive grenade topic on the forum - up to page 3 and no flames yet! [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img]
To everyone participating, you've set a standard now - it's up to you to maintain it to conclusion. Your reputations as people who can discuss a sensitive topic in a civilized way are at stake here. I look forward to you all continuing to pleasantly surprise me - and I hope one person doesn't spoil it for everyone. [img]smile.gif[/img] |

I see abortion, execution, suicide, murder and euthanasia as all related. Humans taking human life.
All decrease the inherent value of human life to a society. All are action choices that have alternatives. ALL have alternatives? How about someone who wants to commit suicide, because the pain of the cancer that eats his/her body is driving him/her insane? What alternative do you see for that? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I am with you Johnny 100% and I am so proud that the Netherlands government introduced euthanasia, unlike Australia where people in the northern territories voted overwhelmingly for it but ‘cause it was not a full state the church ruled federal government overrode it. But maybe this is for another topic and perhaps (respectfully) we should just focus on abortion.

thanks Rev for the explaination.
1. Pro-Choice 2. because it's the woman decision to abort or not. not mine or anybody else. 3. don't care 4. if the girl that was raped want abortion. let her do it then. 5. I strongly support death penalty, as I believe strong punishment is the only way to control human beings. |

It's a very dangerous path to tread, once initiated the government could introduce mandatory euthanasia just to reduce the number of people collecting pensions and medical benefits. ALL life is sacred!

Yes all life is sacred.
1. Pro-Choice 2. I don't consider it as a life at early stage. Besides, the mother and the foetus make only one, so it's all the mother's choice. Better that than an unwanted child. Really. (See the thread about the 3 years old boy chained to his bed - Thaz one possibility of how an unwanted child can be treated). 3. - 4. I would be against abortion if it could help to "select" your child (sex, genes, who knows...). You want a child and you're ready to love him/her regardless of what nature gave him/her or you just don't want any. No way that you could want a child like this or like that. 5. I am strongly against Death Penalty. (I don't see how Death Penalty and abortion are related ? Unless...unless the only one who could apply death sentence to a criminal would be his/her mother ! Would be interresting...)

1. Pro-choice, and in cases of consensual procreation, the father needs to have a say.
2. Death is a part of life, and the earth is way overpopulated anyways. 3. Umm, my religious beliefs are rather complex, I don't belong to any recognized religion, more of an amalgamation of numerous philosophies, with some of my own postulates intertwined. So no, my beliefs of this matter are not against my beliefs. 4. The more tramatic the circumstances of conception, the more I personally support abortion; but it is the choice of the individual, although I must say they should have the abortion as early as possible, anything over 3 months is way too long. 5. I'm for the removal of those who are a threat to the well-being of the propogation of our species, but there would need to be concrete evidence for them to be executed, otherwise imprison them until said evidence can be obtained; we also need much greater expedience of execution.

I 100% agree with Melusine here. This is a very tricky situation.
