Why I, an ultra-liberal, oppose abortion

[overgrowthegovt]

i don't like abortion either and i don't know anyone who does...it's disgusting

but i don't support an outright ban on abortion

Agreed...I think if the mother's life is threatened, or if the kid's going to be born without a brain, or if there was rape involved, then yeah.

But other than that, you get knocked up, you made your bed, so to speak.

And yes, in a way we've gone morally downhill since the Middle Ages....back then, they wouldn't hang a pregnant woman because they thought killing the innocent child would be immoral. Funny; we seem to have no such scruples today.

Why I, an ultra-liberal, oppose abortion I oppose it because I see no difference between it and stabbing your two-year-old you decide you don't want anymore. For me, a fetus is a living thing that deserves rights. And I'm familiar with the argument that women should be allowed to do whatever they like with their bodies. I couldn't agree more--except that when you have a life growing inside you, it isn't just you that's concerned anymore. As a libertarian-leaner, I think you should have the right to bulldoze down your own Rating: 5
