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 1018 Views

I wasn't aware women had a monopoly on dispassionate objective arguments. Joel - 08/01/2011 12:59:33 AM 810 Views
I wasn't aware they had the capacity for it *NM* random thoughts - 08/01/2011 02:45:54 AM 357 Views
Oh, I'm quite aware of and familiar with their capacity; hence my disappointment. Joel - 08/01/2011 03:01:41 AM 873 Views
It is true that the person with the uterus gets to make that decision. Beqi - 08/01/2011 01:46:15 AM 840 Views
Your arguments pro choice are poor. Helene - 07/01/2011 10:59:43 PM 1049 Views
Gotta disagree with your rape argument Isaac - 07/01/2011 11:15:34 PM 957 Views

Discussion merits discourtesy apparently Isaac - 08/01/2011 03:24:09 AM 1108 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 917 Views
Fair Enough, particularly considering the topic Isaac - 08/01/2011 07:22:36 AM 1063 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 928 Views
Not an argument or even completely applicable to what you just said. Just another viewpoint. Tashmere - 09/01/2011 01:06:19 AM 933 Views
