I'm a mum!

that ^^^ would be what we have had and 195,000 dead babies resulted in 2009

so what else have you got?

and when did you realise that your child has ruined your life?

You keep whining about dead babies and asking dumb questions.

I'll ask you something worthwhile. Do you have a specific value in that number that shows how many people were in a position to be raising a child? How many were unable to raise a child for reasons of financial instability, health, or a variety of other issues that would be unfair on both the parents, and the child especially?

This issue is more complex than a large number and your resulting outrage.

My children didn't ruin my life. I wanted/planned them. The children being aborted are unwanted.

do you think that they would be unwanted after birth?

perhaps not

It would complex issue if you were in charge of questions.

once more for us English speakers please

Wait a minute, you referenced an article on abortion from a Christian website?

Wow.

You know, I hate to play the 'female' card here, but I'm going to.

As a woman, I've gone through two successful planned/wanted pregnancies. None of them were straight-forward.

I have a friend who almost died giving birth, and she had to have blood transfusions afterwards.

I have another friend who was left with a range of physical problems after having her first child.

You can't deny that pregnancy/childbirth takes it's toll on a woman's body, and leaves it's mark afterwards. There are still health risks (even in 2010) with pregnancy/childbirth.

So, with all that in mind, would you still like to see women go through all that for a child they don't want and didn't plan?

I understand you are a Christian, and that might be why you have such strong views on the issue. But with all due respect, you must understand that not everyone feels the same. And although I agree with you that the figures are outrageous given that all women are aware of how to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies, I don't see you coming up with a feasible solution.

You're wasting your time with him. I've tried before...

I speak English and I understood it just fine.

He would like a breakdown of the people who had abortions to see the percentage of them who would be unable to take care of the resulting child.

The more gracious post would have been to admit you gave up after being exposed as rather clueless

(but i wont tell anyone, honest)


:spin:

You sure got her.

"Exposed"? LOL.

More like the argument fell flat on it's arse because there's absolutely no getting through to you about anything your religion opposes. Nothing is as ever as black and white as you like to make out.

I would imagine a very small percentage would be deemed by social work to be unfit parents, maybe 1%?

who is mentioning religion apart from you though?

maybe you are thinking of being born again - ironically for this thread

You linked to a Christian website, so this "debate" has been religiously charged from the start.

You mentioned religion as soon as you posted that article. If you're gonna post in "Serious Debates" try to leave your faith at the door.

and on that note.

"and jesus came from the field to turn potatoes into crisps and said let there be babies for all, especially in england." John's Crab Shack 1:25

And Setanta said, "let Photon discover the wonder of resizing images because he's fecking blinding me here" Celtic Warrior 2:11

the report could be got from many websites. the host is not part of the story.

notice Jesus is pointing to Enid and Photon and holding up 2 fingers at them


hahahahahah

You referenced more than the report. You included very specific quotes by people with questionable credentials, likely selected by the author of the article for echoing their own beliefs.

You mean to say that a report online uses people to talk about findings from a report, and....... they may have views one way or the other?


quick operator

get me MAX CLIFFORD, stat

I warned you, and you didn't listen.
