Thread: ABORTION: Where do you stand?

Monster, would appreciate if you could follow up from the first page; I asked why having periods is okay, you said things should just run their natural course, I replied with:

Either nature includes human decisions or it doesn't. With no ill intent towards your trauma: the vast majority of people do not have pregnancy forced upon them by external events.

Sorry! I try to get to everyone's responses, but it's hard to keep up sometimes. Ok, here we go...

First, my definition of "natural" seems to perhaps not be everyone's. That's okay, I'd just like you to keep that in mind while we're talking about this.

An unfertilized egg is just another cell in a woman's body. If it dies, it is of no consequence because it hurts no one. A woman's egg is completely a part of her own body and she is absolutely free to do with it what she pleases, which means fertilizing it or letting it die.

That's all I'm going to say in response to that. I don't really think it has much to do with the subject at hand. I don't care what anyone does with their own body cells. I only care about after conception. Once an egg is fertilized, another life has been made that is seperate from the mother, and that's what the debate is about.
