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.
