And you haven't addressed those cases where a woman was raped or a victim of sexual abuse, nor of those cases where the baby will be born to live a "nominal" life of pain or disability or deformity for example. How convenient.

Talk about putting words in my mouth. Physical and mental trauma? It's a walk in the park compared to the physical and mental trauma that is put upon the thing that the abortion is done to. That is until it sometimes gets a hole drilled in its head and brains sucked, then I suppose it suffers no more physical and mental trauma.

My position on abortion is not derived from religion. My position comes from logic and the fact that we come from a society that at least professes to value human life. I am, by far, more of a humanitarian than a religious person but the fact that you would write off anyone with an opinion starkly different to yours as a member of the "bible bashing, fire brimstone brigade" reveals how little you consider the possibility that you may be wrong. That being the case this will be my last post addressed to you in this topic.

I do believe that that gives women more than enough time to make such a life changing and difficult decision. You seem to believe such decisions are easily arrived at when in fact they are the result of much heart searching and heartache, based on all sorts of circumstances and often good reasons. So who the hell are YOU to decide for strangers whose lives you know nothing about? Now THAT is arrogance on a breathtaking scale. You might well be a mathematician, but women are human beings, not statistics.

I find it disturbing how you and others only think an abortion should be legal if there is no way it can live outside of the womb. Only when an abortion will not guarantee its death are you not in favor of it. You are a wonderful human being, angus.

I'll take being called a "misogynist" by someone like you as a compliment.
