With the recent ruling on abortion I still don't know where I stand on it all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know, and therefore think it is best to take the safe option and assume an unborn baby is a life and no different to say a two year old. It is still a pretty horrible situation for someone with an unwanted pregnancy though. It must be hard whether someone chooses to terminate or keep a baby in less than ideal circumstances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My concern is for rape victims etc. I'm dyslexic and cannot turn off simple functions in tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What made me feel good today was my baby daughter snuggling and cuddling me when I woke up without scratching the fark out of me.

Yep sums it up. I've never been raped but I've been beaten by a man. If he raped me there's no way I'd want or keep the baby I'm not pro life or pro abortion I think every situation has its merits. But who is a bloke to tell a woman how she should feel about a pregnancy when it was forced upon her. I think every rape victim should have access to the morning after pill, and if that fails then an abortion. In normal circumstances I don't believe in accidents. When using two method of contraception eg the pill and condoms, the chances of an accidental pregnancy are so damn low. It comes down to people being responsible majoritally for their own actions. The only time I will pay the "accident" line in terms of pregnancy is if two methods of contraception are used and then pregnancy still occurs. Then I'll pay it hahah I think it's such a hard thing to get a grasp on though.

Another kettle of fish. That's the problem with the whole abortion topic isn't it. Both sides are pretending it's a black and white argument when there's so many shades of grey.
