Thread Name: BS: Farewell to an anti-abortionist
Subject: RE: BS: Farewell to an anti-abortionist
Ahem...abortion is legal. Murder is not. There is apparently a great deal of misunderstanding of our terms here. Viability of a fetus is what draws the line between abortion and "snuffing."
Many years ago, this was not an issue of morality. It is now because it has also become an issue of control of women's bodies, not to mention religious fanatics who live in terror of other people having more fun (read: sex) than they are having.
Funny how most people against abortion are also against homosexuality. Funny how most people in favor of reproductive rights are also against capital punishment. Well, not funny, really; no one's laughing.
Anyone who has not had to face an unwanted pregnancy (their own or a partner's or friend's or child's) should just shut the hell up about abortion.
