What I think is fucked up is that you somehow think you can abjudicate "selfishness" through some kind of mediation panel. No, sorry guys the standard is absolute, a woman must have the right to choose.

Incorect. Articles like that do nothing but preach to the converted and piss off the heathens. It's a complete waste of bandwith. How is one supposed to convince people by insulting them, stereotyping them and sounding like Jusus Christ on top a golden pulpit? The article changes the subject, generalizes, attacks the oposition and has an irrelavant conclusion - thats just for starters. The whole article can be summed up as: republicans are dumb-dumbs thus abortions should be legal. Well I am convinced! If that was a political add we would call it propoganda.
Further, fence sitting is the only option in this debate. The actual problem with this debate and any other debate concerning morality is that people want things in black and white but the world is all grey.
However I do agree with one common thread in both these articles. That is the fact that all the energy that goes into this debate (from both sides) is wasted. If all those people who fight so vigurously for or against abortion would put their energy towards improving our social health then this country would be a much better place to live in and there would be allot fewer abortion cases to bicker about.
