Hmm.. *wonders why this subject had to be brought up in the first place..* This is such a difficult subject. Like Dan said the main point is what different people consider to be a child. (that sentence probably made any sence, but I hope you understood..)
I don't really know what I exactly think about this subject. On the other hand I think is wrong to kill your child, but I really don't think it is a child at that point.
On the other hand I think that mother should have the right for an abortion if she really couldn't take care of the baby. I've also tought about the same thing as Pinky.. That you could put your baby up for adoption. I think that would be a good idea, but on the other hand if you think about all the children that are born every day. Like Dan said, over population is really a big problem. But you can't solve it like that, Pinky! Who are you or anyone else to decide who lives and who dies? But then again, who says you can kill your child if you don't want to have him? Like i said.. this is a very difficult subject. But like I said, I dont think it is a child at that time.
And if the mother would have the baby and think that she'll put it up for abortion, but then she wouldn't wanna let go and if she couldn't handle it.. then it could ruin her life. I think that you should have the possibility for abortion if you're a teenager and pregnant, but if you really think about it..You shouldn't have sex if you aren't ready for the coincequinces (probably isn't written like that..
). Although you would be using condom or something they could always broke..
But if you're raped I think it's a whole different thing. Pinky's though about raped women and they killing their innocent babies when you should punish the raper was kind of absurd. Of course you should punish the rapers. I don't mean that part.. But you can't blame the mothers so much in those cases. If the rape is really thraumatising, would you want to have something that would remind you of that for the rest of your life?
Like I said.. I'm both against and for abortion. I'm not judging the women who have abortions. I think it's their right and they can do that if they like. But I know I couldn't never have one myself. If I would get pregnant, I would keep the baby even if it would been that I had to quit school and get some lousy low-paid job. I just couldn't do that. I would like to have babies of my own. I think that giing birth to a baby is a wonderful event and I would like to have that experience myself. But I think I'm going to adopt. Like from some country of the Third World. Some poor children that wouldn't make it and that are abandoned.
Hmm.. couple more thoughts.. Your doctor thing was stupid, Pinky. Do you think that if a person is a doctor he is a better and more valuable person than others?
And what comes to homosexuals.. Well.. nothing gets through you anyway.. Don't mind trying..
