[QUOTE="soberups, post: 548174, member: 14668"] So do you believe that a woman who was raped should be forced to carry the child to term and give birth to it? Do you believe that a woman whose life or health is endangered by carrying the pregnancy to term should be forced to do so anyway? What about the 13 yr old girl who is molested and impregnated by a relative? If you believe that exceptions should be made for such situations then you are, by your own standards, condoning murder....in situations where [I]your[/I] morality deems it to be acceptable. Such exceptions would, by definition, require the woman to get "permission" from some higher authority. The woman would have to somehow prove she was raped, or pay several doctors to testify that her health would be at risk. To whom do we as a society grant this authority to? And what rights should we grant the woman to appeal if her "request" is denied? A woman (or child) who has come to the difficult decision that an abortion is her best choice is already dealing with enough problems. We dont need to make the situation worse by requiring her to beg for permission and justify her reasons for wanting to end her pregnancy to some unaccountable bureacratic committee. One last thing to remember; outlawing abortions will not stop them from occuring. Those with enough money will simply drive or fly up to Canada to have them done. Those who lack the money will have to resort to coat hangers or unlicensed, unsafe back alley abortionists. The wealthy will skirt the law while the poor will be victimized by it. [/QUOTE]
