*slams his head repeatedly into the nearest wall*
This is a neverending discussion. No one will ever say anything someone else hasn't already said. Every case- pro and con- has been stated, every reasoning given, every opinion noted.
There are no breakthroughs in abortion discussions. It not like the more we ramble on about our opinions, the closer we come to "solving" the abortion question.
I don't argue abortion anymore. It's fucking pointless. I will, however, note my opinion just so it's here in this thread, like it is in all others.
I support a woman's right to choose up until viability- which, if i'm not mistaken, is pretty much the furthest point anyone cares about. I don't know of anyone pushing to be able to abort in the third trimester. If nothing else, at that point, you should have decided long ago if it was a good idea to let it grow. If the fetus can't survive- on it's own- outside the mother, then it is not a viable person yet.
The main thing i'm tired of is people arguing about when life begins. Even if you want to argue that a two-day-after-conception cluster of cells is alive, I'd argue that plants are very much alive as well, but no one bombs a horticulturalist's greenhouse if they forgot to water their dandelions. In my opinion, a human life should be weighed from a slightly more educated approach than "we fucked yesterday, it's a BABY now!"
