a lot of information, i know. but i did have this debate with a friend of mine ive debated with for years both officially and off the record (he headed to world's debating tournament yesterday)
ive done a lot of research, and despite everything, i still think life is beautiful (im personally a very happy person), and i would rather see abortions not taking place in the majority of all cases. yes, there are countless arguments to both sides, and a topic that is extremely difficult to label with a definite answer, that is why this thread can go on forever with only facts going back and forth, but i think it will never come to a case where the majority of people in the world become pro choice...it's just one of those topics where we will always see split decisions, some culturally or religiously based, and other opinions finalized on account of morals and tradition. you've made very respectable and valid points, MB, and im not saying you are wrong (because i know this is not the case), but i myself cannot bear the idea of an abortion very well. as for imposing my beliefs on others, i dont want to do that either, but it is especially hard for me to accept them too, seeing as my personal stance on the topic is very strong (like i said, i do think life is a beautiful thing).
well, that's my rant, i have nothing more to add
peace
