Abortion. [Columcille vs Medicus]

[Columcille]

I think that abortion, In all forms, is murder and should be banned.

I think this is fairly naive. In all forms, you say. What if the mother's life is threatened? Should she be sacrificed for the child?

A choice. A choice to have the baby in the first place.

A Responsibility. A responsibility to put aside all selfishness.

Tell me, why is it that when a pregnant woman is killed it counts as double murder.

Not in every case. Many pregnancies are accidents.

So, it's selfish to save your own life? Sometimes we can't follow our moral code to the letter, and this is one of those occasions.

In any case, the woman can go on to have more children, or adopt if she is rendered infertile.

It was a choice to have unprotected sex in the first place.

It was a choice in the first place. Show me a case where a woman can die because of a baby.

While people are aborting instead of just putting it up for adoption, there will soon be no babies to adopt.

Is it?

Tell me Columcille, are you aware that contraceptives are not 100% effective?

Go crazy.

Just because pregnant women can get abortions, it doesn't mean they will. Some will give birth due to their beliefs.

One example.

In Laci's case, Scott intended to kill both of them, hence being charged with the murders of two people.

I concede. Close the thread, ЯoMe kb8.

I can always pick up the challenge if that is alright with everyone else?

Do not post in other peoples debate threads. I have no objections to you guys debating, but in future it is better to sort it out via PM, and open a new debate thread.
