For or against abortion mischaracterizes the debate - That is not the question. There are many issues involved here - but very few would say "hey, I am FOR abortion."

I agree. In general principle-no. But I think I understand the caveats.

sorry...the question as posted on the poll has a redundancy issue.

 

 

"are you for or against abortion?" yes or no?

 

well....whatever.

 

I am willing to stick my neck out on the line and say I am against abortion in any circumstance.

Thanks for the hint. I was slow on the uptake.

 

OK, I vote no.

I am for it only in the case of rape. Other than that I say get protection, my answer then will be no.

Ditto for me. It's not as cut and dried for everyone. In the instance of rape, abortion should be an option. A rape victim shouldn't be forced to deal with her rapist for the rest of her life. Either thru the baby or thru the rapist wanting contact or visitation with the offspring. But I do not believe abortion as birth control should be allowed either.

i was thinking maybe it should be mutiple choice.

Well, yeah...I was thinking this was a trick question out of a PPP board !@#$. Then I realized both of these have actually been intelligently debated over the last few years here...then I realized there hasn't been any intelligent debate about anything since Kerry got nominated (with the exception of Mickey, but he's slid too...)

 

My cat's breath smells like catfood....

The question needs to be re-worded...

 

Are you FOR or AGAINST abortion?

 

Yes - of course I am either for abortion or against abortion. I happen to be against abortion.

 

However, this is one of those not black & white issues.

 

Are you for abortion in the case where the mother's life is at risk?

Are you for abortion in the case of incest?

Are you for abortion in the case of rape?

Are you for abortion in the case of developmental deformity?

Are you for abortion in the case of financial distress?

Are you for abortion in the case of parental disownership?

Are you for abortion in the case of mental distress?

Are you for abortion in any and all cases?

 

Me => Yes, No, No, Depends, Absolutely Not, No, No, NO !!!

Actually the samples you give above are really only applicable to those who do not have a problem with killing children to begin with. They simply need a level of justification.

 

The poll should have read:

 

Do you agree with the process of killing innocent children before they are born?, yes or no. Or more simply, Do you agree with murder for convienience?

 

In either case abortion is just a question of murder yes, or murder no. Not really so complicated.

on second thought that is a very very Canadian type of question....

Serious question: how on Earth did you manage to dig up this long dead thread?

I actually have no idea! Picked up my phone and it was registering posts from 2004! I did not look for it it was just there. All of them so I poked around for fun and just replied to a random one. They are from around the Bush-Kerry election

What the !@#$ is wrong with you that you're resurrecting a 13 year old thread?  To reply to a poster who's no longer here with three meaningless words, no less?

 

The microcephaly is strong with that one.

Should have found one about swiftboating.  That would have been fun to re-live.

I remember the first night PPP went live. It was election night 1999. Those would be some interesting threads to relive.
