No child involved......no murder.

Maybe if you changed your group of friends to normal people who do not discuss every personal detail of their medical care you wouldn't "see" so much of that."




Was NOT a personal attack. WHERE was it an attack....


My point was that you seem to hang with an odd group of people, my opinion is NOT an attack...YOU posted the type of people you know and then YOU indicated they had mental problems...

Do you have aquaintances fill out forms as to whether they had abortions or not????? Or they take one look at you and tell you their medical history??? In my experience that would be weird....


I will go by factual statistics, thanks.

That's a little bit harsh. Why do you think that?

So you're saying that you weren't "you" when you were in your mother's body? If you're mother had chosen to abort you, you wouldn't even be here right now.

True. Someone else might be here instead.

If my mother had aborted me I would not know and would not care whether I was here right now or not.

I certainly would not have wanted my mother to have been forced to give birth to me against her will.

Don't be so silly. Certainly in your mothers womb your instinct was survival and not happy mothers day or some sort as your implying now. I am just trying to say do not try to distract away from the real issue here.

You're not "you" until you become sentient, which embryos and fetuses are not. As to the bolded text:
