Abortion

[nairi]

I understand what you're saying; it can happen to anyone. But you probably have a greater chance of winning the lottery than getting pregnant if precautions are taken. That's all I'm getting at.

Of course! I would never disagree with that! See my first post.

i am ALLLLLLLL for stem cell research! and if you don't believe in it, then you shouldn't expect the treatment options available to you when YOU, YOUR PARENT, YOUR CHILD, YOUR SPOUSE AND YOUR LOVED ONES get diagnosed with something where the cure/treatment has been discovered/advanced by stem cell research! let's think "outside" the box!

Okay, what is stem cell?

[hyebruin]

undifferentiated cells that have the potential to become any cell in the body...aka fetal cells...

this is a BIG controversy in the U.S. mostly opposed by a bunch of conservative religious blockheads who only see things in black and white! and think science is 'evil'...

[nairi]

Oh ok. Yes, I have heard of women being asked beforehand whether they want their stem cells, I guess, tested on after the abortion.

What the HELL are you talking about???? Who said anything about men not taking responsibility? And how exactly do I sound like a jerk? Because I don't like sl*ts who think life revolves around sex, and can only build their self esteem by being sexually desirable??? No SH*T it takes 2 to make a baby, but ultimately, it is the woman who is going to get pregnant, not the guy. Therefore, if a girl is going to sleep with a guy who won't wear a condom, AND the girl won't use any birth contraceptives (which I would dare to say is the case over 90% of the time), then she has no right to b*tch and wine when she gets pregnant, and look at abortion as an alternative.

You just made no sense with the last 2 completely random comments/posts that don't pertain to anything I said.

For the record, I am against abortion in most cases. However, in those extreme cases (ie rape, danger to health of mother/child, etc...), abortion can be considered.

That being said, sleuth made perfect sense. In fact, you repeated what she objected to (see bolded portion). You are implying that ultimately, it is the woman who carries the sole responsibility for the consequences of sex. Whichever way you read it, that's what you said - no way around it. And you're surprised when she calls you a jerk?

The guy is just as guilty of an unwanted pregnancy. Heck, he should get his balls cut off if he believes that it's only the girl's fault. He shares 50% of the responsibility. It takes an egg and a sperm, 1 and 1, two halves of the equation. They're both in on it together. I don't see what's so difficult to understand about that and why males ultimately place the blame ONLY on the female.

I'm pretty sure that the message Glow is trying to get across is that the woman is 100% responsible for the abortion, not for the pregnancy.

i cannot stand it when people argue that abortion is not in any way or form considered taking a life because the embryo is only a "bundle of cells". As far as i know, even after conceptiion, even a minture after... the "cells" are considered a life form, a human being, as much as we are... I completely disagree with abortion, always have and always will, because people should be more responsible with their actions- they treat abortion as if it were just a medical procedure of emilinating ersponsibility or problems--

DITTO!!! big fat DITTO
