MrPudding wrote: » Nice non-answer. Just to clarify, in circumstances where the foetus has abnormalities which are not compatible with life, in other words, it will die at or shortly after birth and will potenitally know only pain and suffering, you prefer that to an abortion where there will be no suffering. TL:DR. You prefer babies to exist for a short period of time knowing only pain than to be aborted and not suffer? MrP

Whether we're here for an hour or a century, we are all unique individuals, deserving of our chance at life. I would deny no one that chance you and I have been blessed to have been given.

Kiwi in IE wrote: » Yes we do completely disagree. I'm fine with that, and whatever way you would deal with your body/pregnancy/foetus is up to you (if you are a woman), I would never assume that it's my place to attempt to interfere with that. The difference is that you would like my choices in pregnancy to be enforced by law according to your personal beliefs.
