i don't want to be in your head, thanks. i really don't want to argue about it either.

i had an abortion. i decided with my partner that it was most appropriate choice for us at the time. to be called immoral by some random person here is just infuriating. you can't make this choice for women, you have no idea what's at stake. it's not your choice. i'm not arguing about it.



1. He wasn't trying to start a debate about abortion.

2. The entire point of the exercise is to humanize the other side of your debate. It's all too easy to see the other side as fascists, or godless babykillers, or communists, or whatever.

I amuse myself.

"Choose partners carefully to avoid this situation" cuts both ways; "choice" is the operative word. Joel - 14/03/2011 02:38:41 AM 903 Views

a debate based on morality is not rational. humans aren't actually rational creatures, you know. temeraire - 08/01/2011 02:05:05 AM 774 Views

I wasn't aware women had a monopoly on dispassionate objective arguments. Joel - 08/01/2011 12:59:33 AM 718 Views
I wasn't aware they had the capacity for it *NM* random thoughts - 08/01/2011 02:45:54 AM 318 Views
Oh, I'm quite aware of and familiar with their capacity; hence my disappointment. Joel - 08/01/2011 03:01:41 AM 789 Views
It is true that the person with the uterus gets to make that decision. Beqi - 08/01/2011 01:46:15 AM 756 Views
Your arguments pro choice are poor. Helene - 07/01/2011 10:59:43 PM 949 Views
Gotta disagree with your rape argument Isaac - 07/01/2011 11:15:34 PM 864 Views
I agree with this. I'm interested in knowing what Helen's response is Dark Knight - 07/01/2011 11:55:23 PM 783 Views

Discussion merits discourtesy apparently Isaac - 08/01/2011 03:24:09 AM 1020 Views
At the end I did say that it was not you but the idea. I guess I didn't phrase that well enough. Tashmere - 08/01/2011 06:42:40 AM 829 Views
Fair Enough, particularly considering the topic Isaac - 08/01/2011 07:22:36 AM 973 Views

If you belive a child is a child from conception then does the means of conception change that? random thoughts - 08/01/2011 04:52:34 PM 850 Views
Not an argument or even completely applicable to what you just said. Just another viewpoint. Tashmere - 09/01/2011 01:06:19 AM 841 Views
