I've only been here a very short time, but do the right wingers read what some of us have written about late term abortions only being performed when neccessary to save the life of the woman and/or when the fetus is so deformed it won't live outside the womb. What if the fetus dies in the womb, under their anti abortion rules dead babies won't be able to be aborted? That could be dangerous and doesn't make sense.
I'm not a winger. I tend to want to see conservative democrats or something, and instead I get the garbage the parties put forward, and I hold my nose and vote.
But I'll answer your question anyhow, because I'd like to see restrictions on abortion. I am concerned that poorly written legislation/regulation, and poorly implemented executive action upon such matters, would muck things up. Of course the safe medical removal of a dead baby from a womb shouldn't be a crime.
Personally, I don't believe a discussion about abortion even belongs on a fundamentalist forum like this that calls itself Jewish Debate. This subject was started by a fundamentalist on a Jewish debate. They can discuss this all they want at Christian forums, so I have to wonder why it was brought up on a Jewish forum.
I'm sorry the discussion is here, too. I apologise for mucking up the orderliness of the forums, but we're a bit loose here as it is. This is a debate forum at least. We have Howie on Christian fellowship, and even Steve.
Of course, the fact is, it's really a medical discussion, and it ends up being no different than discussing evolution vs. creationists with fundamentalists. Their opinion is all tied up with their religion, heaven and hell, satan and God, their bible interpretations, not science, not facts.
Sometimes yes. Among non-Christians, I prefer to support my unpopular views on the basis of arguments and evidence as I unerstand them, myself.
Therefore, it can't be discussed realistically and/or scientifically, without the input here of medical doctors, it can only be discussed from an emotional point of view.
On either side when it comes to medical details, yes. But aside from medical details, there are ethical and political principles which people on either side may discuss.
NO more comments from me on this subject. Waste of time. I, like other moderates here, completely disagree with far right opinions. In fact, I think some of their arguments are insane.
Do you agree that it would be an extreme view to want to restrict all abortions, but a moderate view to push for restricting only late-term abortions, and likewise an extreme view to want to allow all abortions, but a moderate view to push for allowing only early abortions?
This Jewish "debate" forum is created by far right Christians fundamentalists to give the illusion that Jews have the power to debate any subject in which fundamentalists see it tied into a religious subject.
I was thinking Howie and Steve were on the Christian fellowship forums because he and the Christians there have been having friendly discussions for years, and things just evolved the way they are without much rigor in implementing rules for what goes on particular forums. I definitely don't wish to debate on a fellowship forum with people of other faiths, myself, but around here Steve and Howie are welcomed to do so, and they do tone it down a bit on the fellowship boards. So I expect it's ok for a debate board to be more confrontational.
