    What if the incest was consensual?

    What if the female was raped by a current partner (as is often the case). How can we know exactly which intercourse event resulted in the pregnancy?

    A policy such as "rape or incest only" would only see more false accusations, in order for those girls to get their abortions.



    ... and yet another unwanted child suffers.

    Yes. And back room butchers would proliforate(sp?) again.

    I would like to add, that had abortions been more readily available in the late 80s, I would not exist.

    I am certainly not suffering, and I am definitely wanted.

    So, therefore, an unwanted pregnancy under your policy WOULD result in a threat to the life of the mother, as she would be unable to seek a safe termination, and would then to to a "back room butcher" thus endangering her life - and thus would be able to seek a safe termination.

    So... you'll judge them as irresponsible for becoming pregnant?.)

    No. That's not what I'm saying at all. If you plan to get pregnant but then find it is a threat to your life, it's not your fault. Of course it's not. How can you read that into what I said?


    Who said they were planned pregnancies? I am talking about women who practice safe sex and find themselves with a pregnancy they dont want to continue with. Why would you plan to get pregnant while using contraception?

    FFS - do you think I am against legal abortion?

    NO!!!!!!!!!! Duh - I'm only against the tax payer having to fund ALL of them.

    Good grief!!!!!!!

    So, my quip about back room butchers was misplaced. Sue me.

    Sorry, so only wealthy people, who can come up with the thousands of dollars it would cost, in approximately 1-2 months, could have abortions?


    Oh, sorry, that makes it ALL the more reasonable.

    I dont think so. But you can opt for a private abortion for $3k I think.
    It has to be surgical though and not the less evasive medical procedure (drugs only)

    Well, I spose its a good way to clear out the "underclass" of society, the ones that can't afford health insurance, or a Q card, let alone a baby... as they attempt to deal with the issue themselves.

    ydekm wrote:I know it hasn't been mentioned but I think it's going this way....I think the argument "Oh abortions are used as contraception for lazy women" is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard.

    I have held many a hand during an unwanted pregnancy... 3 invasive hospital appointments, 3 sets of retelling how you became pregnant, 1 intense session with a hospital shrink, multiple blood test and cervical smears.... and the physical side effects - pain, vomiting, nausea, potential for infections, follow up appointments, excessive bleeding, fainting.

    Hardly someone does more than once if possible.

    Having done the same for a friend, I agree. It has to be one of the worst experiences I've ever been through and it wasn't even happening to me.

    My stance on abortion is irrelevant to this dicussion, but I think the government should fund a maximum of 3. I believe the government only funds 2 IVF attempts.

    Now I struggle to see any logic, any reasoning at all other than plain bigotry, behind your viewpoint that we should be funding ELECTIVE COSMETIC SURGERY, but telling someone, who has little money and is facing an unplanned and unwanted pregnancy, that they have to suck it up.

    Well after deep and meaningful thinking, I'd be happy for them to do it as many times as needed rather than see another unwanted, neglected and/or abused child filling our child murder statistics.
