As it should be.

It’s entirely up to the US to re-elect Donald Trump and the Republicans. That may be next!

Well Binoy, I hope you have thanked your mother that she didn't abort you.

If she had then you would not be able to say now how important it is that a mother should have the "right" to kill her own defenseless child in her womb.

The "right to choose" - what a vacuous phrase that is. You and other pro-abortionists don't really believe in a "right to choose". If someone made a "choice" to try and kill you now, you would not respect their "right" to do so. No, you would fight with all your strength to resist them.

No, the right you want to defend is the right to kill a defenseless child. But for yourself, your right to life now must be respected and defended.

What gross, cowardly hypocrisy.

Foeticide or feticide, depending on your preferred spelling, is a much better word than 'abortion'. It avoids the argument about when the victim becomes an actual baby or human being.

Dear JP,

What rot.

Let me correct what you have put.

“If she had then you would not be able to say now how important it is that a mother should have the "right" to abort a foetus in her womb.

...

“No, the right you want to defend is the right to abort a foetus.”

If you are going to use the word defenceless child then defenceless teenager or adult or grandparent would do just as well.

If your argument requires you to go employ such embellishments then it really is worthless.

The whole thing has been done to death, particularly in Australia, where Dobbs has absolutely no effect on our laws.

The extreme Left in this country is just us using foreign matters to maintain a constant state of hysteria.

Steele Redux – please note the definition of “fetus” according to the Oxford Dictionary:
fetus (human)
- an unborn human more than eight weeks after conception.

http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/fetus

The use of the Latin word “fetus” doesn’t change the nature of what the entity carried by the mother is – it is the offspring of human parents, a young human being, a baby/child. And babies certainly are defenceless.

Please note also that in Queensland the Criminal Code refers to the entity carried by a pregnant woman as a “child” and if you destroy the life of such a child, without the mother’s permission, you can get life in prison.

Queensland Criminal Code
313 Killing unborn child
(2) Any person who unlawfully assaults a female pregnant with a
child and destroys the life of, or does grievous bodily harm to,
or transmits a serious disease to, the child before its birth,
commits a crime.
Maximum penalty—imprisonment for life.

If the mother gives permission for the child to be killed, well, then killing the child is okay.

Complete hypocricy.
