Abortion should be available to any pregnant female who so wishes to have one.

Arguably the 'father to be' should have some input in such a decision but in the final analysis it must be left to the female to decide what does, or what does not happen to her body.

The superstitious religious claptrap and feigned concern from the sanctimonious ''do-gooders'' has been responsible for the torturous suffering of 100s of 1000s of unwanted children worldwide who will die a lingering painful death from disease and starvation as partly represented by the 2 million babies who die 'EVERY DAY' in Africa for the aforementioned reasons.

The protests and wringing of hands at the suggestion that legal abortions should be readily available doesn't address the issue in a realistic manner.

Many of those who do not wish to proceed with their pregnancy and have no access to a safe and legal termination will turn to the back street butchers who will, for a fee, effect their own highly risky form of abortion.

The judgmental filth who, through their self righteous narrow mindedness, have corralled what are usually young girls into the hands of the armature abortionists whose practice at best will leave the victim permanently traumatized, and at worst cause their death.

These butchers use a bulbous, balloon like container with a delivery tube attached similar to a battery acid filler.

The device contains a concoction of carbolic soap, antiseptic solution

quinine and dear knows what else.

This 'witches brew' is then injected into the female who is then give a large towel or rug with which to absorb and dispose of the aborted foetus.

If the female survives this life threatening ordeal she will be psychology and physically scarred for ever with her ability to have children later in her life either greatly reduced or totally ruined.

But what the heck, as long as the self appointed pious saints can feel smugly self-satisfied and occupy what their cock-eyed morality perceives as the moral high ground then their deadly crusade has been all worth while.

Side: Yes.

I don't have a big problem with it if the woman was raped, the birth will kill the mother, or the mother is a child themselves. Otherwise, don't murder children because of your own stupidity.

Side: Yes.

Fair enough. I'm a bit more liberal. For the health of the mother, the baby has a terminal condition, extreme poverty, the father was abusive to the mother, the baby was conceived by rape, or the pregnancy will ah fuck it, I'm prochoice.

Side: Yes.

What if that baby was the one that cured cancer... We'll never know... Are you pro cancer?

Do these situations validate having an abortion at any given point in the pregnancy?

Side: Yes.

Quit being liberal. That's how you fail in life and wind up in a trailor park griping about "the man". Do yourself a favor and opt out of that option before your life enters a failure spiral.

Side: No.

Yes. And if your god doesn't like it then it's between that god and the persons involved with the abortion, it's not between YOU and them. So let it be safe, legal, and rare, and if someone still does the wrong thing then if you believe your god will dish out punishment for it then leave it to god.

Side: Yes.

No one loves abortion. I HATE ABORTION, but I want it to be safe, legal, and rare, because emergencies happen. Save abortion as a last resort option, and you'll be fine.

Side: Yes.

Thats like saying...save slavery as a last resort, and you will be fine. There are issues that are a matter of humanity, and other than life of mother, or maybe some other extreme cases, should never be allowed.

Side: No.

No it isn't. I don't want an abortion, but I would need one due to medical risks if my contraception failed.

Side: Yes.

Should slavery be safe, legal, and rare?

This is the same mentality as what this debate is espousing.

There were slave traders that found it dangerous to their health when slavery was illegal.

Like abortions and the dangers of back alley killings of our most innocent, it is safer to legalise the barbaric act, thereby saving some killer's lives, but increasing the numbers of dead innocent babies to a million per year. Now there's some safety for you. Not too safe for the babies.

As always, democrats care more for the safety of criminals than they do the victims.

Side: No.

When the Democrat Party stops using these excuses of extreme case abortions, while fightng to keep NO RESTRICTION abortions of viable babies for any reason, we will then look at extreme cases like rape.

The Democrat Party refuses to compromise on any abortion so why do you waste our time with these extreme case abortions? No one is fighting them so how about consentrating on the Party of inhumanity and make sure you never vote for them.

Nah, you constantly talk about extreme case abortions to excuse your voting for Democrats.

Side: No.
