I know you guys aren't talking about this, but I thought I'd ask. I've always been immersed in a pro-abortion environment. Before I take my stand on this issue, I want to hear the anti-abortion arguments. If you have good, anti-abortion arguments, preferably supported by facts, please send them to me. If you have any new pro-abortion arguments, send them to me, too. I want to see what kind of arguments are out there. I hate to take a stand without looking at both sides. I'll sumarize to the net if there is enough interest. As they all say, thanks in advance... --Alan J. Hu ...!sdcsvax!ajh

I'm sort of sorry to see the abortion issue raise its ugly head here. As someone once said - "There are no moderates on abortion. You are either for compulsory pregnancy, or you are for killing babies." All moral issues aside, I think the feminists are right when they say "If men could have babies, abortion would be a sacrament". tbray

Don't confuse abortion with birth control.
Legitimate methods of birth control prevent conception from taking place.
Those opposed to non-therapeutic abortion maintain that life begins at
conception. When is pregnancy ever compulsory, except (rarely) as a result
of rape?
All moral issues aside, I think the feminists are right when they say
"If men could have babies, abortion would be a sacrament".

Nothing like making an untestable statement to justify your pro-abortion
views. Has rape (committed primarily by men) ever been defended as a
sacrament? Can we expunge the wrongness of rape by saying that if women
were its primary executors and men its victims, women would condone rape?
