I was thinking this one over the other day, wondering when a good test case might arise to overturn this nonsense.  Hows this:

Two lesbians decide to have a child, one donates the egg, the other carries the baby as a surrogate.  One or the other decides to terminate the pregnancy.

Who wins?

I agree with everything you said Susie, except the part where you say we shouldn’t ban abortion.  Why not?  What good reason (aside from those I mentioned in my post) is there for abortion?  To me, a need to shirk the responsibility of a child is not reason enough to have that child killed.

We can talk about father’s rights and maother’s rights until we’re blue in the face.  At the end of the day, somebody has to stand up for the child’s rights too.

The war against illegal plunder has been fought since the beginning of the world. But how is… legal plunder to be identified? Quite simply. See if the law takes from some persons what belongs to them, and gives it to other persons to whom it does not belong. See if the law benefits one citizen at the expense of another by doing what the citizen himself cannot do without committing a crime. Then abolish this law without delay … If such a law is not abolished immediately it will spread, multiply and develop into a system.

I think your right Robbie, but I also think that we shouldn’t ban abortion, but we need to counsel the women who want an abortion.  Let them know what the ramifications are.  I have a friend that had an abortion when she was 19 and wasn’t told the risks and now she’s married and can’t have children.  I’m not saying that allowing women to have abortions willy nilly is right either.  Women need to know what is happening when they have an abortion.  You are killing a child.  And if the doctors want to admit it or not there is damage done to the woman too.  There also needs to be something done to protect the rights of the fathers too.  They had a part in creating this life and should have a say in the childs welfare.  If the father wants to take responsibility for the child let him!!!! He has that right.

Hear Hear!

Your right Robbie.  Someone should stand up for the childs rights.  I agree whole heartedly, but if we ban abortions, I worry about all the women who will go to the back room clinics and who will be ruined so they can’t ever have children or even killed.  I think that knowledge is power.  We need to educate instead of ban.
